MeFi post: The Pointless Museum
The Usbourne Book of the Future was awesome. It's why I got my first computer. I read it so many times and dreamed of owning a "risto" so I'd be able to tell people if I was going to be late for an appointment.

Seconding the thanks, you two.

MeFi post: Branson puts his money where his mouth is
To add to nowonmai's Monbiot comment, George has a new website, linked to his forthcoming book Heat. Turnuptheheat.org happens, by coincidence, to have Branson and Virgin listed in the Greenwash section; who could fail to be moved by a gift of used printer cartridges?

MeFi post: TdF Joux-Plane Spoiler
The ride of the century. Every rider cracks at some point - even Mercx and Armstrong. Great riders come back from it.

MeFi post: Music is a-changin'
Nirvana no. 47, Stone Roses no.31: They've done it in reverse order... interesting.

Although I love VU, I think the justification for the selection is pure indie:

Without this, there'd be no ... Bowie, Roxy Music, Siouxsie and the Banshees and the Jesus and Mary Chain, among many others.

Yes... it is hard to imagine a world without William Reid and Budgie.

MeFi post: "Doping Scandal Rocks Tour"
With this rate of attrition, I might have to get my old Chopper out to make up the numbers.

MeFi post: For the line tests, any colored line, no matter how faint, in the result window during the alotted time is a positive result.
I call shenanigans. 20 cigarettes a day? Yeah fucking right.

It wouldn't be the first time The Sun had mis-reported an very similar story:

"They printed loads of things we were supposed to have said, but we didn't even speak to them" - Jenny Teague, the soon-to-be-ex record holder of the Britain's youngest mother title.
