main bit This page looks very fancy in a modern browser, with "stylesheets" and "layout" and thing, but frankly I prefer the way you're seeing it here. Congratulations for not crumbling to the Browser Upgrade Initiative! Support the Web Designer Downgrade Conclusion!

things i have learnt this christmas
  1. In America, a sign that says "Open!" in bright flashing neon demonstrates that the store in question has electricity, and is shut.
  2. Make a career out of being sarcastic, and the gods will give you a sarcastic toddler.

    Ada: Mvy! Blz Ftzzz! Mvy! Blz Ftzzz!
    [MAKES SIGN FOR "MOVIE", "BLUES CLUES"]
    Ada: Mvy? Blz Ftzzz?
    Me: Would you like to watch "Blue's Clues"?
    Ada: [IN TONE OF GREAT SURPRISE] Noooo.
    Me: You mean yes?
    Ada: [LOOKS ME STRAIGHT IN THE EYE] Yas.

  3. According to my Kidde fire extinguisher, dry chemical consists of: Sodium Bicarbonate, Mica, Calcium Stearate, Nuisance Dust, Irritant.
  4. The average fire extinguisher containt sixteen tons of dry chemical.
  5. When used to extinguish a toaster fire, it can expel this chemical at a rate of six Niagaras a second.
  6. In the event of dry chemical spill, toddlers will absorb the "nuisance dust". Parents will absorb all the "irritant".
  7. The best way to clear up the remainder of the dry chemical is to move house.
