StickMen Arena
Don't often do games or links to them but saw this on the GromBlog and had to link to it too. It a cool, little, online, multiplayer stickman deathmatch so click the link, hit quick start and proceed to kick butt. You can even create private servers to play against your friends (enemies?)

Lady Gay
I don't drink tea so I never really understood the fascination with Earl Grey which is apparently a blend of Indian and Ceylon teas and one of my colleauges calls Gay Tea. The tea gets its unusual flavor from oil of BERGAMOT. Bergamot is a small acidic orange. The latest research indicates that the Bergamot orange is a cross between the sweet or pear lemon (Citrus Limetta) and the Seville or sour orange (Citrus Aurantium). The sour orange is native to southern Vietnam, hence the Chinese connection.
Earl Grey tea was the favourite tea of Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Fictional characters who preferred the tea include Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Sir Leigh Teabing from the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.
So why the blog? 'cause I just found out that Lady Grey didn't like her husbands tea and got her own version called Lady Grey. That's all.

The things you hear when you haven't any earmuffs
Last night was the Christmas "Do". A group of us from work all went out for drinks and a meal. Unfortunately sitting down to table with work colleagues can be a little bit like Russian roulette and after people have had a drink or two sometimes they share things that were probably better left unsaid but, now that it's in the public domain...
Part of the conversation turned to favourite movies and of course Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings was mentioned and the merits of film vs book. Then someone said that Weta Workshop also did the masks and armour and weapons for Disney's new Narnia movie and the merits of film vs book came up again. It was then that someone said something I wish I didn't know but if I have to carry this burden then so must you. While reading "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" at the age of seven or eight this guy was reading the description of the White Witch and clearly remembers with fondness getting his first "hard on". /me puts fingers in ears "LaLaLaLaLaLa"I'm sure that's not what C.S. Lewis had in mind.

Serbs line up for testicle shocks
I really don't fancy this new form of contraception. Bet it doesn't catch on over here.

GUERRILLA INNOVATION: GAYmobile
It's been a while but this I couldn't resist. A new mobile operator in Denmark is targeting the Pink Krone. The GAYmobile.dk website offers the HOMOBILE service line which will be selling subtle ringtones that indicate a user's sexual preference (like the handkechief code?). Until the service comes online the company suggests that subscribers use songs like "I am what I am" or anything by ABBA as their ringtone. I could make a fortune selling my ringtones in Denmark. Oh yes, they say that they will donate 25% of their profits to the gaytrust.
