2008 Down and Out!
The 2008 Darwin Awards are out!
For the uninitiated these awards are given to people who manage to remove themselves from the gene pool by their own stupidity. This years winners include the Priest who tried to break a record for flying using helium filled balloons, his body was recovered three weeks later.
For animal lovers there is an illustration of natural justice, when a man was out shooting with his dog. The dog found a bone and refused to drop it, his owner getting more and more frustrated started hitting at the dog using his riffle as a club. He missed the dog but as the riffle butt hit the ground it discharged and shot him in the stomach. He died after recounting the story to the police. The dog was unhurt.

Madoff’s statue returned
A statue stolen from disgraced financier, and former NASDAQ chairman, Bernhard Maddoff’s home last month has been returned with a note attached.
It reads “Bernie the Swindler, Lesson: Return stolen property to rightful owners. Signed by The Educators”.
I wonder what The Educators have in store for outgoing President Bush.

Advertising condoms
Can you imagine if all major retailers started making their own condoms using their familiar slogans
Sainsbury Condoms - making life taste better. (as worn by Jamie Oliver?)
Tesco Condoms – every little helps.
Peugeot Condoms – The ride of your life
Galaxy Condoms – why have rubber when you can have silk.
Minstrels Condoms – melt in your mouth, not in your hands.

Wicked Queen’s 999 call
Any motorist who has experienced the deep joy of stationary traffic on the M25, fervently praying for the opportunity to go at half the variable speed limit, laughing hysterically at the myriads of speed cameras strategically placed to increase blood pressure, will tell you of their secret envy of those individuals brave enough to sneak past on the hard shoulder.
When Linda Lusardi found herself in the same situation, on her way to play the Wicked Queen, at that pinnacle of theatres the Wycombe Swan, she perhaps thought she was being a good citizen when she dialled 999 and asked for permission to use the emergency lane!
I love this bit – the BBC says :
“A Hertfordshire police spokesman said: “The request was denied and she was given suitable words of advice.” “
At last! A police spokesman with a sense of humour!

Consider this…
Procrastination and prevarication are two of the most popular past times chez Nosey. While I consider that they are employed, by my family, with the sole objective of raising my blood pressure, academics say ‘NO!’ the reason is in the formula.
U=EV/ID.
“The ‘U’ stands for utility, or the desire to complete a given task. It is equal to the product of E, the expectation of success, and V the value of completion, divided by the product of I, the immediacy of the task, and D, the personal sensitivity to delay. “
Well that explains it then! I was so impressed that I came up with my very own formula which explains how much chocolate a woman will eat in any given day.
X=CH/(O/C)
X is amount of chocolate, C is the value of laundry tasks to be done, H is number of handbags not bought over the previous year, and O is the snugness of fit of favourite jeans.
