A man who was accused of having sex with a sheep has walked free because the animal was unable to testify. Under Dutch law, bestiality is not a crime unless it can be proved the animal didn’t want to have sex.
Dreaming of Daniel Johns
Weird. Last night I dreamed that I met Daniel Johns of Silverchair and The Dissociatives fame. It was immediately after he’d performed on stage, and he was energised but very sweaty — and was, um, “extremely friendly”.
This is an unlikely dream. I rarely remember my dreams. I haven’t ever thought Mr Johns was particularly “my type” — though I don’t think he’s ugly or anything. I’ve just not thought about him in that way. And besides, he’s married. And it’s not like he was in Supernaut… or even alive at the time.
What does it mean?
Sheepish Taxidermist
Previously I had a geosynchronous taxidermist, now the latest spam subject line is “sheepish taxidermist”. And Richard had “self-actualized bullfrog.” “What next,” he asks. “‘Well-adjusted toad’? ‘Passive-aggressive mudskipper’?” Indeed.
2 minor website upgrades
I’ve just changed a couple of things about the website:
- The search box now searches all website pages and comments as well as the blog posts, using the Search Everything plug-in.
- The RSS feed now contains the full text of every post, thanks to the Full Text Feed plug-in.
“Close the Internet,” says Elton John
That bitter old queen Sir Elton John has called for the Internet to be closed down. Yeah, sure, whatever you say. Elton John Strains Limits of Irony, says Wired. [Update: The original rant is in The Sun (of course).]
Free Moby Music
New York DJ and producer Moby is giving away music. mobygratis.com is for “independent and non-profit filmmakers, film students, and anyone in need of free music for their independent, non-profit film, video, or short.” Nice.
