Oh Boris, ever the marvellous-quote machine.

It’s actually glowing praise if you go into the full text of the interview, but I doubt most pundits will see past the unfortunate simile.

And like copy and paste before it, how many people will actually use this much-bemoaned “missing” feature when it actually turns up?

High budget porn-spoofs continue to confound me. Who actually buys these?

Unrelated: why is The Joker holding a Star Trek TOS phaser?

I suddenly care less about clicktoflash’s youtube and vimeo munging abilities.

It’s still invaluable as an ad-blocker that only blocks the most offensive and obnoxious ads, mind you.

A pop-star apologising for taking a then-legal recreational drug? I can only imagine he’s apologising for being a goddamn pansy and not injecting heroin into his foreskin.

Pop star Dappy apologises after it emeges he took the drug mephedrone, also known as meow meow, before it was made illegal.

In addition to your SSN, date of birth, and mother’s maiden name they also ask you the question you specify and wait for the answer you’ve provided. This is good, because many standard questions are guessable in a way that user-defined questions may not be.

Ally Bank Secret Question & Answer

A real live human operator always asks the question and waits for a real live answer. This measure has the potential to not just improve my account security but add entertainment value as well:

Q: Do you know why I think you’re so sexy?
A: Probably because you’re totally in love with me.

Q: Need any weed? Grass? Kind bud? Shrooms?
A: No thanks hippie, I’d just like to do some banking.

Q: The Penis shoots Seeds, and makes new Life to poison the Earth with a plague of men.
A: Go forth, and kill. Zardoz has spoken.

Q: What the hell is your fucking problem, sir?
A: This is completely inappropriate and I’d like to speak to your supervisor.

Q: I’ve been embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from my employer, and I don’t care who knows it.
A: It’s a good thing they’re recording this call, because I’m going to have to report you.

Q: Are you really who you say you are?
A: No, I am a Russian identity thief.

Hell, if they’d managed this right nobody even need have known he’d died.

The twin brother of Poland’s former president, who was killed in a plane crash in Russia, hopes to be elected in his place, reports say.

An explosion began with a loud bang, you say? This is news indeed!

An explosion which ripped through a Hertfordshire oil depot started with an “almighty bang”, a court hears.

From the BBC.

Sharing because for a minute I thought it said “Psion numbers reach record high” and we were back in 1997.

I kind of miss my Series 5.

“Apparently the cannon can only take four at a time, so we’ve had to leave one behind. We went for the ginger one. I’d imagine the French will probably just eat him.”

God I love the Daily Mash.
