Helped my dad write and email yesterday to send to a friend. I asked him what her email address was and was told <her full name>@hotmail.com. After getting an undelivered notice and trying different combinations of upper and lower case versions of her name he says he's got a piece of paper with the address on. Brilliant! The address is <her full name + a six digit random number>@gmail.com.

The UK has seen a million eastern European immigrants in the last decade swamp the market for native workers. No one blames them for this. But this is a real boon for the rich who value cheap labour. Meanwhile among those who suffer are not only the native working class British but also the 2nd, 3rd and 4th generations of those who came to the UK from it's former Empire. Would you upvote the idea of invading Sweden because centuries earlier they had vikings set out from their shores? How about making modern Germans work in concentration camps because of what happened in World War 2? This is Funsubstance so it should be fun, but this is ignorant tosh and I will down vote it.

Women's suffrage movement enabled women to vote in states prior to 1920. Kansas, Wyoming and Utah had it in the 1860s. Washington attempted it as early as 1854 but it lost by one vote. The history of this is kind of all over the place. I suppose working accurate history in would kill the joke though .... Fun fact: Although it had been put in place in 1920 Mississippi was the last state to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment (allowing women the vote). They did this in 1984.

Why is the dude throwing the rope at him when he jumps off? None of these people look like Mythbusters and yet this looks like they're trying to bust a movie trope or something.

Reality is chances are all Americans would sit next to this dude if they were on a plane. That's because you get a seat number allocated to you. You got seat 12B you got seat 12B. Sit yourself down.

Hugh's on records as saying he was most happy with his look in the last Wolverine film (the pic on the right) because they gave him 6 months prep time to get into shape which was longer than the other films. He also didn't drink anything for 36 hours prior to this shot to get that "tight" look. I'm not a Hugh Jackman stalker or anything, I read it on the IMDB Trivia page for The Wolverine 2013...

At last. Those pesky USB flash drive sticks are massive. I mean what did they expect us to be, professional body builders or something? Sometimes I have to lug up to four around and boy do I know they're there in pocket, next to my keys and loose change. Have to put two in my left pocket and two in my right otherwise I'm off balance and totter around in a circle. Thanks flash drive post it notes!

A 10 disc CD changer? What is this 1997? Shouldn't there be an iPod docking cradle, USB port for MP3s or even just a plain old phono input?

Medieval maps weren't drawn to be geographically accurate but to give the viewer an idea of what things were out there - a sort of pictorial encyclopedia. If you wanted to go some place you'd have a list, much like the list you get from Google Maps when you plot a journey from A to B. So you'd start and head to the first place on the list and then ask directions to the next place on the list. This is why they had cities which became hubs on pilgrim trails - they were on the established travel routes. The reason Jerusalem is in the middle is because that was considered the center of the world to the main European religions. So much so that maps were turned East towards the Holy Land with Jerusalem at the top (not on this one though), rather than North like we do now. This is where we get the concept of "oriented" with respect to maps, because they were centered East towards the Orient.

Her wandering eye line and over sized ceramic mug like she's drinking tea says she's reading off a card and has been put up for that by a parent. All little kids this age believe they are the center of the universe; it's why they speak to you and demand a response when you're talking to someone else on the phone. Little kids this age rarely have self esteem issues because a normal kid this age doesn't know what the heck self esteem is. Cue card, parent with a camera.

Ironically it's the opposite as the middle ages were a boom time for technological and cultural innovation.For example just off the top of my head technologically we have the invention of clocks, printing presses and farming techniques (horse collars, field rotations) which enabled greater crop yields. Culturally we have invention the concept of modern romance as well as the formation of modern European countries such as France, England,Spain etc.Prior to the middle ages if you wanted some book learning you had to find a dude to teach you, but then they invented the concept of the university. You're reading this post because of typographical innovations introduced during the middle ages, things like capital letters and full stops.The middle ages were a thousand years of progress but they still get a kicking today due the legacy of Renaissance writers thinking they were backward compared to the classical world of ancient Greece and Rome. (Sigh) Rant over.

It's a cool concept but it's grown a third bigger between frames 1 and 3. WTF? Where once it was small enough to fit on a wrist it's now large enough to have a drop down keyboard. Pick one, not fudge it! Also (minor gripe) you have to find a flat surface that butts onto a wall for the projector to work. Otherwise the "screen" isn't going to work unless you crank that baby up to 1000 watt projector levels of battery burning power. Yours sincerely, someone who has been promised a jet pack since 1971....

Every grandparent must look a bit weird to the grandchild. Take any year, subtract 40, 50 or 60 years and see what that generation were up to. Early baby boomers had grandparents who lived before cars and planes. Kids born in 1140 AD had grandparents who remember a time before the Crusade. They must've been like "A time when people didn't go out to the Holy Land and fight infidels? That's crazy talk grandpa!" Grandparents circa 440AD talking to their grandkids about the Roman Empire and how brilliant it was what with the taxes and the togas and everything. Some grandparents at some point "And that was before we had fire. We had to wait for the Great God Bo to reach down and let lightening strike a tree to get fire. Not now of course with you young 'uns. Now you can strike a fire whenever you want. Luxury!"

If he locked all the doors from the outside how did he get in to kill seven people and get out again? If there was one attack why would the FBI have the mask when it's a state crime and not a federal one? How come there is no record of any Halloween murders in 1962 on the internet except links to this picture where people are calling it a piss poor hoax? Maybe we'll never know the answers to any of these questions...

I was like "At least put the bits back in Dumbledore's coffin, Harry. Oh, he's thrown it off the bridge for no reason..."

Well yes, men in western countries like breasts. Ha, ha, ha, although unlike babies, not because they produce milk but because they bounce, jiggle, look awesome and are quite important erogenous zones. Except gay men of course aren't all into womens' breasts. Did you know Mali has the highest rate of non-acceptence of gay people in the 45 African countries surveyed (2007 Pew Global Attitudes Project says 98 percent oppose gay people). So on the one hand we have western men liking breasts "like babies" and on the other homophobia "like douchebags". It's funny how some societies evolve isn't it?

I've had a similar experience. Except it was just me on my own and two cupcakes.

How is she the photographer AND the person with stuff being thrown at her head? I do a three second or ten second count down timer on my camera and my window of timing is out at worst somewhere between an Ice Age and at best an actual filming schedule of "Sherlock". She nails getting hit in the head in a nanosecond. What is this, witchcraft?

There's a lot of big open spaced glass fronted box houses here. If someone were to ask for an antonym of "cozy" it'd be the big open spaced glass fronted box house. The sun sets, you switch the lights on and suddenly you're living in a department store window display. Wave to the neighbors everyone. I don't understand why someone would not want a bit of privacy while playing Playstation in their underwear and scratching themselves. Some of them are also so utilitarian they look like they were designed to be cleaned with a hose pipe and a brush like they use to scrub down elephants at the zoo. Good job I'm not put in charge of selling these houses ...
