Looking for that special someone? Have no clue where to start? Think that the Internet is the answer to your prayers?
According to Dan Ariely (he teaches behavioural economics at MIT), online dating is not the best way to meet people if you are looking for something permanent.
Oh dear.

A rose by any other name ...
vespasienne
A public lavatory in France.
The vespasienne, although beautifully named, is not always a wonderful place to visit.

Give me something for the pain!
wheeple (v. & n.)
intr. To utter a somewhat protracted shrill cry, like the curlew or plover; also, to whistle feebly (intr. and trans.). So wheeple (n.).
The force of the projectile smashing his groin was such that Ian wheepled like a boiling kettle before collapsing to his knees, clutching himself. Faint sounds of retching could be heard soon after.
Yes, I know, smashed balls are not funny. No, I lied. They are funny as hell.
Don't believe me? Just watch the Three Stooges.

You dreamer, you ...
... is no longer an epithet.
Yes, daydreaming is beneficial, and not just to while away the time during the insanely boring quarterly meeting.
Scientists said so.
If you can't believe the scientists, whom can you believe?

Yummy stuff ahead
Wedding cake for geeks of every flavour. As an amateur baker whose idea of cake decoration is slopping vast quantities of ganache over every inch of said baked goods, I can only marvel at the amount of work and creativity that goes into these.
