It’s Uncanny.
Can you guess which actors these professional lookalikes are claiming to resemble?

In the absence of cats or porn…
Not sure what category this falls into. I’m claiming productivity.

Hockey Sticks
In the big hoopla about the hacked emails from climate scientists (and I for one have nothing to fear from anything similar happening to my emails, oh no) and the so-called hockey stick projection graphs, it only just occurred to me that people mean ice hockey sticks rather than field hockey. I mean, OK, they aren’t that different, but it’d be a bit depressing if my house ended up underwater because I’d bought on the basis of a field hockey upward curve rather than an ice hockey upward slant.

Oh well, in that case…
I’ve long since given up posting on live journal (and I only posted sporadically when I did) but I still check it for some friends journals. On the front page there is a daily suggestion of a topic to write about for those struggling for creativity – usually very sensible ones, if a little dull.
Today’s however made me laugh out loud: “If your romantic partner told you that, given the chance, he or she would sleep with a celebrity/public figure you disrespect, would you be amused, jealous, or bewildered?”
The thing I’m tickled by is the bit about “disrespect” as if you’d be more or less jealous if you thought the celebrity merited their fame. “I can’t believe you want to sleep with 50 Cent, he can’t rap for shit! I thought we had something good going on! Now if you wanted to screw Jay-Z, then I’d say go for it. In no way would that undermine our relationship.”
So much beauty out there
