Greek Holiday
|link| This is just freaky strange, but here we go:
Cost of a plane ticket to Greece: $800.
Cost of the taxi to the place you’ll stay: $55
Cost of the place you’ll be staying: free as long as you have sex with the owner
Yes, for the simple cost of having sex with the owner you, too, could stay in his house. At least as long as you are, “…a girl, aged between 20 and 28, reasonably good looking and open-minded…” So if your sister says she’s going to Greece on holiday, ask her where she’s staying.

Magic Pills
Dongle sent us this quote of the moment:
“Computer games don’t affect kids; I mean, if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.” — Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989
Shortly after this quote raves became the raison d’etre in Europe and America.

Who Are You in 1905?
|link| What occupation would you have if you lived in 1905 England? Apparently I would be a Printer, which isn’t too bad, and maybe not too far of the mark all things considered.

Engineering the Perfect Eyebrow
|link| Science has done it again. They’ve discovered the perfect form of an eyebrow. Is there anything science can’t sort out? Except maybe cancer, AIDS, and ingrown toenails?

The 555-List
|link| Here’s a list of 555 numbers that have appeared in films and on TV. You’d have thought that the makers of Bruce Almighty would have chosen one of these instead of picking a number that didn’t exist in Buffalo. Foolish studio people, no one’s going to go through the trouble of looking up the Buffalo exchange to call God… it’s assumed that the divine phone is never long distance.
