Dear Santa, thank you for the dolls and pencils and the fish. It's Easter now, so I hope I didn't wake you but... honest, it is an emergency. There's a crack in my wall. Aunt Sharon says it's just an ordinary crack, but I know its not cause at night there's voices so... please please can you send someone to fix it? Or a policeman, or...
Back in a moment.
Thank you Santa.

Bad Astronomy

Web Site of the Day is Bad Astronomy.

In particular, check out the movie reviews. He pans The Core much more thoroughly than I did in the cinema while waiting for The Two Towers to start.

Badgers? Badgers? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Badgers!

And here I was hoping that I would turn out as a cat.

(via The Truth Laid Bear, who turned out to be a bear but I think he cheated, particularly since I'm back to being an Insignificant Microbe)

Perpetual Commotion

Site of the day is The Museum of Unworkable Devices:

This museum is a celebration of fascinating devices that don't work. It houses diverse examples of the perverse genius of inventors who refused to let their thinking be intimidated by the laws of nature, remaining optimistic in the face of repeated failures.

Now also available in Portugese.

When you've finished boggling at the perpetual motion machines, wander over to Donald Simanek's site for further scientific entertainment.

Futuramarama

I've grabbed all the Futurama I could get my hands on, so now I'm downloading Mystery Science Theatre 3000 (MST3K to its fans). Which I have never seen. I don't know if it's ever been shown in Australia.

Hooray for Zoidberg! [Broadband — Ed.] Broadband! Hooray!

JREF

When I'm not blogging, you can often find me at the JREF Forums. Not at the moment, though, because they seem to be fairly seriously broken.

I ran up a quick forum server thingy for people to visit until JREF is fixed: the JREF Storm Shelter. I wonder if I'll get any visitors...
