Astrophysicist gets magnets stuck up nose while inventing coronavirus device

“My partner took me to the hospital that she works in because she wanted all her colleagues to laugh at me...”


My favorite part:”I accidentally invented a necklace that buzzes continuously unless you move your hand close to your face,” he said.”


His tiling must be spectacular.

I've been using the clip of the BBC reporter talking about North Korea when his children bust into the room. Someone edited it such that the chair is empty but the background stuff still happens.

Beyond that - I've learned how to rip video from YouTube and/or my screen savers and have been bouncing between classic video games (Tempest, BattleZone, etc). Oh, and ripping the really pretty videos used in the Apple TV screensaver. Those make really pleasant backgrounds too.

I heard yesterday a news report that a giant civilization ending asteroid barely missed the Earth. I was not thrilled when I noticed my reaction was "Awww. So close. Next time!"

I heard the asteroid was on its way and decided at the last moment, in a responsible way, to socially distance.

Waiting for Memorial Day weekend like...

Have a four pack of original Irn-Bru.



Have a loved one who was in Edinburgh before Covid and tried it because I told them to.
Proud of them.

Now I need to get some Inca Kola.


Looks like Mountain Dew or Red Bull.

I don’t fk with energy drinks.

Some are a bit cheesy, some sort of funny and yet some interesting. All in all what’s good is...if it’s bad you’ve just lost a couple of minutes of your life.

So now they don't love you anymore?

They didn’t look thrilled in the picture, that’s for sure.


Trump refused to stock Irn-Bru in his Scottish resort, saying it would ruin the carpets.
As if Diet Coke doesn’t?
