Not quite a squid but octopus befriends a Mr (not a) potatohead.

Is there a Vote RON option? Failing that there is a Belgian PM going spare in Yves Leterme(inator), who has demonstrated the similar levels of inefficiency as Dubya, who has been voted in but yet to take up the position.

And David Bowie (61) and William Hartnell (100)... That was always a bummer growing up....Jan 9th, nothing......Jan 8th, you've got the original TV DR Who, birth dates of both Elvis and Bowie. I've been unable to find any one/event of any vague significance (me, apart) that occurred on 9 January . Any suggestions? Firstly, happy birthday! Secondly, try wikipedia... Not only were the likes of Richard Nixon, Joan Baez, Jimmy Page and none other than hamster eating Freddie Starr born on the 9th January but you share your birthday with a DL demi God, Clive Dunn! Far from hard Dunn by. Cue tumbleweed Permission to speak Capt'n but maybe Gordon could think about Clive's birthday as an appropriate additional bank holiday, as this would serve to remember the military by way of the Home Guard.

Surely by the age of ten they are thinking about the names they will be giving their own not so hypothetical first child? If only Gordon could raise the age of puberty, I swear it is getting younger with every passing year. Here endeth the gospel according to Stereotypus.

Happy birthday LFN!!! Hope you are getting settled in the new place!

Damn, you have adverts for Priceline over there? Not more competition for bids...I'm only just being trained up by my father in the name your own price bidding wars. Got myself a nice Mariott in the Latin Quarter, Paris this friday to look forward to at £45. Bidding can almost be as complicated as rocket science if you want to get the cheapest of deals so I guess the Startrek guy is a good choice.

I think you mean mass if you talk in terms of lighter and heavier, as weight is actually the force due to gravity on that object. It is mass that is measured in kilograms etc., weight should technically be measured in Newtons say. I might not be able to contibute to the grammatical pedantics on this site but I make up for it on the science front So, after you have trumped, the force due to gravity on you decreases.

I view an actuary as someone who finds accounting too exciting (I know that flippant remark is not going to win me any favours with the owner of this site, apologies!)

Felicitations CarolAnn!!! (and a belated happy birthday to Honez as well!)

It is not as surprising as you think. I remember a maths teacher going over the Birthday Paradox problem and that it only takes something like 23 people in the same room to have a 1 in 2 chance of sharing the same birthday. Obviously the figures would be different for three people however I am not sure how the lemma stands on imaginary personas, I guess we'd have to use i. Apologies for the lame maths joke.

Joyeux anniversaires Boudicca, VSBfromH and Sweet Sorrow!!!

I gave up trying to figure out how to write like an Egyptian and subsequently post it here. So the link below will have to suffice. Joyeux Anniversaire Anubis le Jackal!

If Ĥ(t) | Ψ(t) > = i ħ | Ψ(t) > Then f(Ψ) = Σ (x! + δ³) + (x² + ln x ) In terms of special relativity if there is a r in the month the formula is seen to obey the second law of bullshit quantum mechanics which states that Schrödinger was a cat murderer and always secretly wished that the cat possessed the "half-dead" state. The sad thing is Ronnie, there are probably articles on this very subject. I did have a quick squiz at the Web of Shite Science but couldn't target my search very well in the timeframe I allocated to constructive pissing about. Even if I did find anything to copy up here owing to publishing rights it would only get removed by a mod à tout de suite I hope someone can furnish you with the answer you require.

Very touching Godot. Although probably, owing to the aforementioned analysis, your fellow heartless bastards compatriots have this thread on ignore and will therefore not see you exposing your softer side. Hence you may have just gotten away with it ;-) Becareful if you ever stray this way, men greet each other with the most effeminate of kisses in Belgium and they do this every morning so you'd really need to get in touch with that softer side to stem the possibility of accidentally(?) snogging a few Belgian nez. Happy B'day Lawro. Hope it all goes according to plan if not don't forget these wise words: "If Plan A fails, they could always revert to Plan A."

I just have to share this with you. I've been correcting someone's article, who has clearly relied heavily on the language option of MS word. Whilst phrases such as "sullied with errors" I've let stand; probably wouldn't be my choice but seeing as this is a maths journal I am not au fait with the language a mathematician would use. However I am pretty sure a synonym for ordinary least squares is not ordinary least public gardens. As much as it would delight me to keep it in, it would be wicked of me to do so. In much the same vein, this morning I was correcting someone's ppt and was so tempted to change the word "particle" to "penis" in the phrase "micro-orifices and nanoparticles". Just because of it's sN-wordability I did keep orifice in instead of the more commonly used word, "pore". Oh it is fun being the only native speaker, I know I make comparable mistakes in French so we are all fair and square. Or should that be all public garden?

I much prefer the latter. The Chuckle brothers I find highly disturbing and thus felt it should have contained some warning similar to strobe lights in use at this venue or something. I'd also like to throw Star Cross's collage of the McCann woman into the hat. Edit - I'd also like to nominate "any one" of Banshees Jokes for best joke. What's that phrase again, something about at and not with? Okay, I'm such a dufus, hit reply and not edit.

I thought I'd post this here as it has to do with Hartlepool (sort of) and death (sort of). Hartlepool's very own Harold Bishop moment.

One more reason to annex Pompey to France. Sorry, wouldn't let me post it as an image.

Last Tango in Bruxelles for Maurice Béjart Okay, he wasn't Belgian. He didn't die there either. However he did live there and start a Ballet school there, which has to count for something in a land of not so famous celebrities.
