I'm the sort of guy who has all these great ideas but am unable to do anything with them, which is the reason my apartment is not next to Bill Gates mansion (or Hugh Hefner's for that matter). Some clever kids came up with Facebook , Twitter and Youtube and now take  their  baths in French champagne on their private 767 jet. Well I have this great idea which I will reveal in a minute, and if someone out there d...

Museums were first invented in Paris, France by Jean Paul Yurr Hedoff in 1789. Jean was employed by Doctor Joseph-Ignace Guillotin as a cleaner upper or as they called it in those days a nettoyeur de têtes. It was Jean's job to clean up the mess after a Guillotine. The poor man found that after a few weeks he had quite a collection of disembodied heads and blood stained clothing and a growing crowd of visitors who wa...

Jan Janson was an expert at everything. He could read computer dumps in his sleep (and often did), produced perfect code, was always ahead of his deadline and magically produced wonderful cafe latte from the office coffee machine. He was popular with the girls, admired by the men and a perfect candidate for management. That was before he decided to get fired and  leave for a better position with the competition. It ...

The round the clock, all you can eat buffets aren't half as appealing when you've spent your day throwing up over the port side of the ship. 3.

Google is a great toy. You never know what you will find next there. I was wondering why my post  100 Things to do when You're Bored received so many hits from Goggle when I thought of checking the search keywords people used to get to my site (compliments of Google Analytics of course). Here are some the weirder ones. I swear they are all real. --- ...

1:The Beginning I was sitting innocently on the beach, minding my own business when a huge wave slung this bottle at me. Luckily it was a plastic  coke bottle  and not a discarded wine bottle, which could easily have broken my nose. From inside I extracted  the following message. My name is unimportant, you can call me Marion, no wait make that Rhiannon. If I get my choice it may as well be something sexy. I li...

Here are ten ways to do it: After a holiday or office party  someone  automatically brings a double dose of espresso to your desk and no sly remarks about a possible hangover are allowed. - If your boss pisses you off twice in one week you are granted an immediate, paid one day vacation - Coffee served at work must not taste like ...

Mobile phones have taken over our lives. They are cute, they are musical and they fit easily into the front pocket of your pants or that miniature leather handbag that you carry everywhere. Even so, sometimes it is downright stupid, impolite  or dangerous to answer your ring-tone. In an attempt to promote world safety and invest some simple manners into you, here are my guidelines  for when not to take that c...

  ...that creepy guy on the train who is unable to extract the finger from his nostril and who wears a torn pair of black bell bottom jeans, gets up to give you a seat.     ...the guy at the local convenience store starts wrapping  pickles for you before you even get to the counter.     ...your homeroom teacher suggests that you both have a little ...

Not quite my friend. There are still opportunities out there to make money from thin air - literally. Here is a list of some possible options and because I'm...

It was inevitable. After the success of the first movie the web was full of rumors and speculations regarding the sequel (obviously the first of many). Mini (my wonderdog) had already got a head start on me. It's easy for her, she doesn't have to hold down a day job and commute every morning and evening. She is entitled to  free bed and board  and can sleep all day if she choses, which she does after she has c...
