Racecar

Racecar backwards spells racecar! I genuinely did not know that. And in case you think that's boring, how about this one? "Never odd or even."

Also, Kantong Butter Chicken sauce is not very buttery. It's missing something. (Possibly butter.)

Make your selection

I've seen ads on TV for iselect, a private health insurance comparison site, and thought it seemed like a decent idea to see all the options together if you're going to choose one. So I had a look. And realised that they don't list all the service providers around. What's the point in a one-stop-shop that doesn't have everything in it?

Memories

It's so long since I posted on my blog that I actually, literally, forgot where to find it. Let alone my username or password. Just as well my husband had me in his reading list, and technology expected me to forget how to log in all along. It was ready and waiting. Hello blog. I remember you now.

Coughing your way to fame

While trying to work on assessments recently I inexplicably had this song in my head. I hadn't heard it for a million years, but it just kept coming to mind anyway so I eventually gave in and listened to it. How's that for fossilizing a problem?

As an extension of my procrastination I looked up James Morrison's bio on the ever-reputable Wikipedia. Apparently his distinctively gravelly voice is not just down to his smoking habit - he suffered a really bad case of whooping cough as a baby. He was only given a 30% chance of survival and even then was expected to be pretty severely brain damaged.

Instead he just has a really great voice. High five for silver linings.

To sleep, perchance to dream

Reptiles sleep, but they don’t dream.

Birds sleep and dream a little.

All mammals dream during sleep.

Iiiiiiiinternet

The Internet (capital "I") is the largest internet (with a small "i") in the world.

The Suit You Can Wash in the Shower

Looking for a way to save some time? How about getting a suit you can wash while you shower?

The Shower Clean Suit = "dawn of a revolution in business attire"?

Konaka Co. released this one in 2008 so I guess they're actually old news by now.
