“Thus, the sun’s atmosphere blazes while the fans’ and propellers’ do not.”
“The flaming sun is primarily due to the vast differences in velocities of the spinning of the objects.”
“Again, one must consider why the Designer wished to deceive occupants of the various planets and conceal truth.”
@Nickhodge Just fuckin’ stab them in the head and then it’ll all be OK.
This is obviously far better than Kiss lyrics.
“One must realize that suns are shaped as cubes by design. That is to say, there has been no evolution of the solar systems.” Cool, OK.
Apparently the sun isn’t a sphere, it’s a cube. http://bit.ly/a54WyK
This week’s Twisted Wire podcast from @phildobbie on “Can We Trust Facebook & Google?” is actually very good http://bit.ly/cwqxPh
Home. Warm.
@jplonie No. Oh Christ no!
Uhoh. Antony Green is here.
Tonight I wanna see it in your eyes. Feel the magic. There’s something that drives me wild. And tonight, we’re gonna make it all come true.
I was made for loving you, baby. You were made for loving me. And I can’t get enough of you, baby. Can you get enough of me?
‘Cos girl, I was made for you. And girl, you were made for me.
Tonight I wanna give it all to you, in the darkness. There’s so much I wanna do. And tonight I wanna lay it at your feet.

Oh yes @JackAubrey I think “electric newspaper reader” seems to be how those ink-sodden reptiles are envisioning it. Arsehats.

No @wheelyweb I don’t think it’s a sex toy. Not yet, anyway.
So it this iPad thing people are talking about some sort of computer?
Increasingly, I think my choice of avatar for the day has been most appropriate. And maybe it shall continue tomorrow.

@grantshow My colleague and nemesis @phildobbie does a halfway acceptable podcast about telco industry. This week’s is http://bit.ly/cwqxPh
@grantshow That Edict thing at 9pm should be ignored. Some drunk, unreliable crank. Just ignore it.
@grantshow Dost thou seek podcasts of entertainment, enlightenment, or the amusements of the Terpsichorean Muse?
I am starting to suspect I’ve offended enough people for a rainy Thursday.
@grantshow I don’t listen to ANY podcasts “religiously” because that would be desperate and sad. Independence of thought is more important.
Surely “tennis celebrity” is an oxymoron?
Mobile (despite the weather): Enmore Rd; potentially King St for errands; potentially somewhere warn with a warming drink.

@SteveatSensis Oh don’t worry, Steve, I’ll give them a call later. That way I can experience the actual process. :)
@SteveatSensis Interesting, because over the years I’ve written/emailed Sensis several times about this, and gotten no reply.
So you CAN get Sensis to stop sending printed phone directories! http://bit.ly/dsyAh6 HT @franksting
Oddly enough @daev it wasn’t a telco, no. It was that other bastion of competence, a real estate agent.
Good customer service isn’t just being polite and cheerful. Having a clue about WTF you’re talking about also helps.

Fri plan: Stay warm and dry, mostly, attempt to shake this cold. Little work will be done, I suspect. Aiming for a solid week next week.

Here, this should help you forget that song, @deptofinternets http://youtu.be/sl1ydqS4… Nasty, nasty @danilic
@danilic Foxtel wants to do IPTV via that internet thing, but only via BigPond. They seek to avoid being charged with “third-line forcing”.
@phildobbie Hah! Twisted Wire is normally good, but this week’s episode weaves an interesting narrative. http://bit.ly/cwqxPh
@SnarkyPlatypus Bonjour. Je suis ennuyé. Je suis encore plein de mucus, et mes oreilles ne fonctionnent toujours pas. Merde. Et vous?

Emerges, kinda, sorta. However I am still under the furry doona.
Wait? You can watch TV sober? HOW?
@Yin_Izanami The RI at Maisy’s Café is acceptabe.
Slow news day.
You’re right, @johnhalton, this “the Sun is hot” stuff is sheer propaganda.
AWESOME! “The sun is really cold, contrary to what official science says.” http://bit.ly/c0Xlpg HT @johnhalton
