Is this for real? I snapped this on the back of a public toilet door. Are Optus and Audi really paying people to scrawl their ads on toilet doors with marker pen. Or does someone just love the brands so much they feel they have to share?

Maybe it's some kind of weird, brand-whore beat. Or code for something really nasty.

Here's another "New Look, Same great taste". I particularly love the way they put a picture of the box, on the box. Just in case you couldn't see the box, except obviously you are looking at the box...

But if you look closely at the picture of the box it doesn't look like the new box that you actually have. So what box did you get sold you chump. It's obviously very important that you get the right box.

Here's something that rankles me whenever I'm knocking out words on the computer. It's that little wiggly red line that appears as you type, you know the one, it shows up underneath words that are, ahem, miss-spelled. Like colour for example, or organised, or the double whammy - colourisation.

Now i am fully aware of the fact that this is so-called US English and I could just change the dictionary settings to International English, but you got to admit it's annoying having to change all the defaults to get things to work right (don't get me started on US letter paper size).

There's been a lot of Bible bashing in the Herald recently (Abbott and Costello i'm looking at you). As an atheist I'd like to have a crack at a response.
