JT - Public Profile

Er...blimey. WTF can I write here that isn't so tedious it'd send people to sleep? After all, the most rock'n'roll thing I do is listen to Radio 4 - although sometimes, I don't turn the radio off until past 10...AT NIGHT. And sometimes, I have a cup of tea that late too, even though it means I have to get up at about 2am for a wee - I suppose that's quite hardcore, really.

Oh yes, and I invented Who Invented Foxes (though it would have taken the form of some crappy blog had it not been for [user and admin] Mike, because my understanding of technology ends in around 1789).

And, like, stuff.
Here's the best of what JT has contributed:
Overheard staff member in bookshop: "This says Pluto's a planet. Should we still be selling it now we know it's a star?"

"Is it true that polar bears dissolve in water? I heard the reason they're endangered is because when the ice melts, they fall into the water and dissolve."

Superb! I'm almost tempted to rewrite the voting system just so I can vote for this quote more than once. ;)

I thought sensible was already a word.

Not to be prejudiced but I suspect the Americans could be some of our best contributors!

Might be something to do with the remains of the bomb we found in the engine. Just a thought.

The plane failed to fly right in the crash.

A concerned mother writes: "My 17 year old son has been very secretive with me lately, recently he has started to refuse to go to church with the family and tonight when I was going through his room I found a magazine with naked men in it. He obviously has a girlfriend that he is hiding from me that brought that magazine into my home and I am afraid that they are having intercourse and I am greatly concerned that he will get her pregnant."

TL - but stick with it. It's a gem.

Conspiracy Theory Mum. Gay is just a myth.

Really I think an unwanted pregnancy is the last thing you should be worrying about.
    Posted by mike on 1 Jan 2010.
I would like to make love to this woman and give birth to her babies.
I'm sure she wouldn't mind, because her husband was also hiding a magazine with naked men, so he's obviously cheating on her with another woman.

That's superb! I can't quite make up my mind whether it was translated automatically, or whether their English-speaking staff were just having a laugh.

So the beaver caused the power outage. Knaw Really?

I think it's actually a sensible question, though I can't think why anyone might want to ask it. It gets a [+] from me for the sheer bizarreness factor, though!
    Posted by mike on 2 Jan 2010.
Same here - not stupid at all, but it made me smile.
