*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’ 😉 )

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!

I’ve just come across this picture and I think we need to step up the educational programme in a number of countries. (click on the picture to enlarge)

At a minimum, we need to explain that hot dogs aren’t really dogs that are hot. And I’m not talking about good looking dogs either. I’m talking about hot dogs that aren’t hot dogs. You know – dogs. As in the animal. And hot dogs as in the not animal type thing. Not a hot dog hot dog as in the picture. But they aren’t hot dog hot dogs any way, just dogs that look like hot dogs – but I suppose someone that really loves dogs a lot will think those two dogs are hot so I suppose they could be hot dog hot dogs.

Actually – I think I need to at least learn English or cut down on my drinking (I’ve only had one bottle of alcohol to drink today – it’s only Wednesday anyway)

Now, I’m going to say this once and only once: The keys “ALT” (bottom left of the keyboard) and “F4” (top row of the keyboard) pressed together are your friends. They can close windows that open up and get you back to your desktop.

Right. Good. Phew. That’s got that out of the way.

I’ve recently come across this little link that (if your computer is up to the task) will provide a three-dimensional image of the planet Earth. When you rotate your head, the image really does appear to move – I’m not sure how it does it, but wow!

I’ve also just found out that Microsoft has announced a new advertising on the Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD) scheme (hence the image for this post). Now, whenever your computer crashes, you will be presented with an advertisement from a number of ‘selected partners’. I suppose it’s a good idea considering the number of machine crashes that must be taking place every day, but it’s hardly an incentive for Microsoft to make Windows even more stable is it?

I haven’t yet found the cost of advertising on them, but as soon as I do I’ll let you know.
