much uncyclopedia fun this morning. Saint Chav, started by [livejournal.com profile] reddragdiva, is growing. And I discovered someone had made a map for my Great Circle Line article.

Earlier today, at approximately 12:54 I recieved a revelation from somewhere or something revealing to me the ULTIMATE TRUTH OF THE UNIVERSE. Since it seems to be the done thing to share such revelations, I thought I would do so.

The ULTIMATE TRUTH OF THE UNIVERSE, which is applicable to every situation ever and should always be born in mind : is as follows

I think I just succesfully persuaded someone on IRC that I lived in the Welsh town of CaerlÅ·r in Far East Wales (people sometimes assume I am Welsh because of my nick, he asked what part, and I was being silly). Hence new usericon to celebrate, showing location of said town.

I really should stop making up geography as a hobby. There's enough of it already.

bad joke

We are discussing Caligula...

me: That sounds like the type of thing Tony Blair might do actually - if he had a horse - put it in the Lords.

colleague: Yeah. The problem is it might vote neigh.

Stamfordshire continues apace. Apart from being punchier and having more gags, it has acquired sections on politics and demographics, culture, sport, and goth clubs (thanks to [livejournal.com profile] reddragdiva). Also I found a home for the most offensive flag ever.

Living on own is good but odd. Have pretty much totally unpacked now. Building seems to be approaching full occupancy - I can hear people above me and on Monday when I got back was following the chap opposite me into the building, and was followed by a woman who seemed to be going further down the corridor than me. But of course we have no idea who we all are. Maybe I should go knock on some doors and see if anyone needs sugar?

I realised I had the perfect topic to write about on Uncyclopedia (the parody of Wikipedia).

Ladies, gentlemen, and other beings, I present Stamfordshire!.

Plett says 'fish and the superfurries are the only people there i'd consider seeing'
Plett says 'ken dodd doesn't appeal'
You ask 'you don't want to assassinate him, then?'
Plett says 'my sniping rifle is at the cleaners'

In the song The Teddy Bears' Picnic it is said that "if you go down to the woods to-day, you'd better go in disguise", because "the teddy bears [are having] their picnic", and that if you don't you'll be "in for a big surprise". It further says that if you do go, "you'd better not go alone" and that it is "safer to stay at home".

This always confused me when I was a child. What precisely would the teddy bears do to you if they saw you not in disguise?

I think I was under the impression they were violent teddy bears who would not appreciate human visitors and probably kill them, possibly torturing them first. Am I disturbed?

Cafe Scientifique this evening - this time is The Science of Middle Earth, given by Henry Gee, an editor for Nature. Did a bit of usenet searching and it seems he (a) knows his stuff about science, (b) knows his stuff about Tolkien and (c) is a good speaker. Not clear what he'll be talking about, but it apparently might include what Mithril could be, Hobbits vs those skeletons they found in Flores, and whether Balrogs have wings (and if so can they fly?).

Balrogs: do they have wings? )

if i am ever rich enough to buy a block of flats or a road, i am going to name it "The Larch", and then move in to the first property.

my address will then be "number one, the larch".

not just one RFC this month, but RFC 4042 also. this one introduces two new encoding formats of Unicode, called UTF-9 and UTF-18, for machines with a 9-bit byte.

kind of amusing but also a bit of a ripoff of ATF-8.
