"Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind." - E. B. White

ImageMagick is image manipulation software using the command line. It must've started as a sick joke.

One of the nasty things about the HIV virus is that it messes with your testosterone level, so when you first get infected and are the most infectious, you'll be the most horny and thus more likely to transmit it.

Occasionally you will see in Singapore a car with a pseudo-EU license plate (examples). I saw one which was a FAIL - the letters representing the EU country were "GER". Presumably they wanted a German one, hurr hurr.

Someone translated "黄河风情" as "Amorous Feelings for the Yellow River". Sounds like a bad Google Translate job to me. I'd plump for "Feelings Invoked by the Yellow River" (a less literal translation would be "Yellow River Fantasy").

To apply for Web-Fax.com, which lets you send faxes online, you need to fax them an application. DUH

I got called Miss - by a mover with a ponytail. HAHA. Maybe it was because his hair wasn't as nice as mine.

I saw a girl pushing a wheelchair and an old woman walking beside her. On the wheelchair was shopping. Gah.

I saw a CHIJ girl whose nametag read 'Angel'. If I had the opportunity to name a kid, I'd choose some funky name like 'Cherubim'.

If you have Muslims on a winning F1 team (or indeed any event which involves Champagne), what happens? Sparkling grape juice?

Quickbites's Japanese ice milk tea tastes like teh peng. Ugh.

I'm told some tudung-ed women can stick their phones inside their veils and talk hands-free. That's a very useful trick.

"If there's one thing having been in RGS didn't teach me, it's that it's perfectly ok not to win an argument and to let others have the last word." (Hurr hurr)

I'm very sad that the US Presidential Election is over, since we won't hear conservatives making accusations of sexism (half) as often as liberals anymore.


HWMNBN, who's worked under women bosses for the first 5 years of his career, said all men and women he'd asked said they'd rather work with and under men than women.

Just as bilateral or multilateral trade pacts can result in trade diversion instead of trade creation (instead of trading with third parties, they trade with each other), I'm wondering if the EU labour market results in job diversion instead of job creation, since it's easier to hire someone from within the EU than a non-EU national/resident.
