Poll: Are You A Blogaholic?

[Are you a Blogaholic?]Shamelessly copying Neil, I decided to take Firda’s Are You A Blogaholic? quiz/poll thing as well to see how “addicted” I am to the whole keeping a web log/blog type thing…

Low and behold – I got exactly the same results as Neil (68/100: the average is 43.3points out of a hundred). What do the results mean? Well, “68 points is in the 51 through 80 percent” range which means: “You are a dedicated weblogger. You post frequently because you enjoy weblogging a lot, yet you still manage to have a social life. You’re the best kind of weblogger. Way to go”

Cool: I agree with that (I wonder if the 171 other people that “made the same grade as me” also agree with their results). Admittedly, I haven’t had much of a social live recently (been too tired: sometimes too tired to even blog), but still… Oh FYI – the “81 through 100 percent” range means “You’re definitely a blogaholic. You dedicate most of your time to weblogging that you forget to have a social life. There’s still life outside Bloggerville, you know. Try to go out more, ‘kay?” and only 46 people got that result.

Fun: Good Woman Needed Fast

[Wanted Good Woman]*sigh* Valentine’s Day is coming up and I’m still not sure whether or not to send my GESF a Valentine’s card or present – I doubt I’ll be receiving one anyway 🙁 But, to help prevent the same thing from happening again next year, I’m going to start advertising for a woman. Unlike the movie Birthday Girl, I’m not going to order a mail order Russian Bride, more rely on this advertisement sign which reads:

WANTED: GOOD WOMAN
Must be able to clean, cook, sew, dig worms and clean fish. Must have boat and motor.
PLEASE SEND PICTURE OF BOAT AND MOTOR

Do you think it will work? (I’ll avoid commenting on the conjunction of the word ‘good’ and the word ‘woman’ 😉 )

Fun: Mousey Bread

[Mouse Flavoured Bread]Another image from my collection of “just plain strange” images. To me, this looks like a mouse being baked into a loaf of bread – scrumptious!

I can see how it might have happened, but industrial environments should ensure the likely hood of a mouse flavoured loaf of bread is extremely low: saying that, a few years ago you could buy human flavoured bread in the UK. Ok, that’s slightly untrue – in a local Harvestime Bakery in Leicester, two men died whilst carrying out maintenance work on the ovens – they became trapped and were carried through the 75 foot 100°C (boiling point) oven on a conveyor belt.

Ouch!
