Now This, I Love


There are some things in this world that seem to have been invented for reasons that I don't understand, but this, pure genius.

Dr Whippy is an ice cream dispenser that uses voice analysis to assess your mood.

The more unhappy you are the more ice cream you get...

Mmmmm Tasty!



Tired of the way that the actual foods served up in fast food joints failed to match up to the lovely pictures on the menu boards, the folks at The West Virginia Surf Report decided to document the advert versus the reality.

Do You Want Fries With That?

Despite being someone who is never likely to be featured in the "size zero" debate I must admit that even I found some of the fast food creations featured in this Mental Floss post a bit gross.

The ongoing tendency of sections of society to consume processed food in greater and greater amounts whilst taking less and less exercise is a horror story in the making. How long before someone literally explodes at the dinner table, a la Mr Creosote?


Without going all Bob Geldof on you this is surely wrong when you have people in the world starving to death. No?

Suggestive Digestive

Don't you just love the interwebthingy...

I was sitting this morning having a quick cup of coffee and a digestive biscuit when it struck me what a timeless classic of the biscuit world the digestive is.

I'll bet there is a site on the internet devoted to telling everyone about the delights of this great biscuit, I thought to myself. Lo and behold, 20 seconds later, after quizzing the ubiquitious Google I found "NiceCupOfTeaAndASitDown.com".

The site mission statement sums things up nicely " Well I think we should all sit down and have a nice cup of tea, and some biscuits, nice ones mind you. Oh and some cake would be nice as well. Lovely. "

A great site full of useful reviews, polls, and news items.

Satisfies all your biscuity needs!
