Dan’s even later morning than usual

I was inspired by Dan getting up even later than 8.20 this morning…

I think Dan should get up at 8,
He didn’t today and was late,
To add to his doom,
He had forgotten which room,
Which gave students one hell of a wait.

Strongbow

According to the Chief Medical Killjoy for the UK I should not consume more than 1.739 (440ml) cans of strongbow per day. If cans were 765 ml it would be one of those, or 2 at 382ml.

Pizzas

Using a cunning scientific method I have discovered the ideal thickness for pizza bases… also learnt that it has been 9 years since sunderland scored at stamford bridge, so they can at least take some satisfaction from their 7-2 loss

New Year Resolution still intact…

Even tho I didnt get to put down yesterdays thing I learnt, I did actually learn that Barnaby the Bear that I saw in the 70s is actually called Colargol. It is something that I think I should have known really, and is a slightly nicer name than Barnaby.

Campaign for the Moog to achieve more recognition

My waste of time at the moment has inspired limerick 3 and particularly despite it impressing me in many ways not being able to guess the moog of Doyley Woods (there again was the moog 100% dog or some sort of doglike crossbreed?)

There’s a site akinator dot com,
That can guess famous names with aplomb,
The engine Percy is there,
As is Paddington Bear,
But when the character’s the Moog it will bomb

Nokia Alerts

I only today realised the old nokia ring alert was morse code for SMS. I also learnt a bit about how trampolining competitions work, and that you can have 2 minutes bouncing around before you do your routine. Along with the existence of akinator.com* it has been a successful day…

* so far it has identified, benitez, Paddington bear, Vlad the impaler, Iggle Piggle, Fireman Sam, Percy the green Engine, Sam Fox and Peter O’Toole

749781

Excitingly the 749781 th digit is where my date of birth (in dd/mm/yy format) first occurs in the number π (or the 749780 th decimal place). The first date of birth as far as I can tell after a cheeky couple of ciders is 23rd of july 1981 (or 1881, 1781 etc) ie. 230781, 64 digits in.

Incidently when typing 749781 into an sms message with predictive text my mobile came up with short?

Apprantly it may not be an urban myth that the certain Somerset villages are like the ancient rulers of egypt taking sisters as their wives…
