KFC isn’t really consistent. The one at Vaclave Namesti in Prague is pretty decent (ate there more than once, if that’s an indication) while there are a few which made me think if a can of cold ravioli or dog food wouldn’t have been a better choice.

Could be suicide – which would probably be the ‘easiest’ answer. Suspicious as it is already, if it proves to be a murder there is something rotten in that kingdom…

But since it’s the Thames Valley, i guess inspector Morse will solve it over a couple of beers, a not-unattractive middle aged widow, and a bit of listening to classical music.

Ugly?

I can think of many aircraft which aren’t exactly pleasing to the eyes (Transavia PL-12 Airtruk, Saro SR.A1, Bréguet Sahara, Wilga, X-32, PZL M-15 Belfegor, XF-85, Blackburn Beverly, roman-nosed C-130, C-133, C-74/124), but all of them do have ‘character’ some kind of appeal which i can’t really describe. But in my eyes, it certainly makes them a lot more attractive than many of the sleeker, more modern, cleaner designs which i find totally boring.

I think it’s well known the F-16 is an aircraft [understatement] i won’t get easily excited about [/understatement]. Although not really an eyesore, it sure is an eyebore. The same with most, if not all, modern airliners. Yawn. L39 and it’s offspring. Beuh.

To illustrate: a few of the mp3s which passed by when sitting here tonight…

Headunter – Front 242
The Passenger – Iggy Pop
Velouria – Pixies
Swedish designer drugs – Daan
Downtown – Killer Barbies
Bales of cocaine – Reverend Horton Heat
Clandestino – Manu Chao
So What – Metallica

…

The Pixies are the only band which i think to have the complete works from, including two bootlegs.

Apart from that: way broad taste. The question which music i didn’t like was definately easier to answer.

Nail clippers are for the toothless

Speaking of which: didn’t anyone ever notice that noisy farts hardly ever stink, while silent farts often guarantee you a lot of space in a crowded elevator?

Lighting your farts is easy if the pressure is right, but the gases have to have a certain velocity and constant pressure to get a decent flame. A trumpet fart or a soft, vicious ‘ffffffffffffffft’ just won’t do,

There is a trick to make sure it works all the time though… You have to sit down with your pelvis a bit forward. If you fart, the gases will move forward and collect themselves under the crotch of your pants. You can then easily set fire to them, and if you’re lucky you’ll get Great Balls of Fire.

With the Great Balls of Fire trick, you can also cheat if you have a gas lighter. Leak a bit of gas in the ‘pocket’ prior to ignition makes it a lot more spectaculair.

As for today’s piece of wisdom:
Never buy napkins or towels. A cat will do just fine.
