Limited edition Chestnut Kit Kats outsold standard bars threefold when they were released in Japan in 2005.

Limited edition Green Tea flavoured Kit Kats were so popular they are now part of the permanent range (alongside Azuki Bean, Banana and Yubari Melon).

Has any one noticed. there is a month missing? 52 weeks in a year. This is divisable by thirteen. Why have we twelve months? I would like to table a motion for the insert of Jacktober between July and August. It will be packed full of bank holidays and possibly an other christmas.

When approaching a set of red traffic lights, accelerate to 132,580,800 mph and the lights will appear green. As this is one fifth light speed we suggest you only attempt this on a relatively quiet road.

How about in “jacktober” on the lets say 15th we have re-roll the year day and at that point we change the year randomly.
This may cuase alot of problems for computers and calanders on watches etc but hey why stop at a month, lets really wild it up.

On Sunday 4 March 2007 at 21:41, Rach said:

Why is it, even in disguise, Neo has to mention computers and watches?!

If this isn't Neo then whoever you are should be ashamed of yourself for even mentioning the word 'w*tch' as you know is like a red rag to a bull and Neo is still struggling to pack in the habit!

Maybe in 'Jacktober' we should have a sort of swear jar, where anyone who mentions the word 'watch' has to buy everyone a drink next time we all go to the pub.... obviously starting from now or else I've just bankrupted myself.

Well boys and girls, that's all from Science is Simple this week.....next time we will look at why the sky is blue, why every snowflake is different and why toast always falls butter side down.

On Monday 5 March 2007 at 17:14, carly said:

Ok i am feeling clever!!! here we are!

Why is the sky blue?
A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

The sea is blue because it reflects off the sky.

snow flakes.

snowflake begins to form when water vapor condenses around a speck of dust high in the clouds—up to six miles up—and then crystallizes. As they fall they melt, freeze more or break. Each flake will be different because of the way water molecules stack together and the route it takes to get to earth.
Toast-

Basically bread lands butter side down because something the size of a piece of bread tends to rotate 180deg as it falls off a table.

So... Neo... watches? How do they work again?

I know some very interesting stuff about glass.

On second thoughts, maybe I don't.......

isn't glass made from sand?

it is transparent, it can also bend and split light, through prisms.

Welcome to the Masked Avenger's shit poetry corner....

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

It's called Desiderata, I hated it 15 years ago and I still loathe it now. It brings back horrific flashbacks of staggering back to the hall of residence rooms of pissed English students charged up for a night of hormones (or biblical horn to use the contemporary vernacular). The sort of girls who wore DMs and flowery skirts and were called Chloe or Zoe and had brothers who were still at King Edwards called Ben or Piers or fucking Toby. As soon as I saw that on the wall (normally a bloody big poster next to My Own Private Idaho), I knew that the poor girl was going to burst into tears before I'd even unfastened my utility belt (due to waves of psuedo-religious parentally re-inforced guilt). Any second now I will be able to hear Enya or bloody Enigma, scented candles will be lit and that will be it....I will be walking back to the underground lair again via a late night kebab shop.

On Tuesday 6 March 2007 at 18:40, stu said:

well, i googled them and kept getting the words 'Steven' and Gerrard' - don't really know what that means.

Is that Avengatron 3000 crime computer your comic book world name for the infamous SM58?
