Adorable!!!

Visitors to a British aquarium have likened the baby thornback ray (pictured) to a character featured on Doctor Who. In the sci-fi series, the 'Last Human' has become merely a translucent sheet of skin with eyes and a mouth

After

...being told for so long that we can't tell Polish jokes, (for our UK friends, that's the US version of Irish jokes), suddenly it's about face, at least in the UK :-
"A Pole, a Dane and a Swede walk into a bar...
A Polish anthropologist wants the British to make jokes about Poles, to help them to blend into UK society. Michal Garapich, a social anthropologist at Roehampton University - I know! Who knew? - said: “How Polish people react to being the butt of English jokes would be the real test of whether or not Poles are really integrating into Britain.” While an admirable sentiment - laughter really is, apart from antiretrovirals, serotonin reuptake inhibitors and Calpol, the best medicine - there is a slight flaw, ie, we don't really know much about the Poles, or Poland. Indeed here is (and I probably speak for most of Britain) the sum, educated, total of what we know:
- It was infamously very poorly defended at the beginning of the Second World War.
- Poles are hard-working.
- Poles like pickled things.
- “Poland” sounds a bit like both “Polo mint” and “polio”.
- Poles seem to drive battered white cars (that's what I've noticed here, anyway; there might be regional variations - I would be interested to learn more about this.)
- Poland is not where you think it is on a map. That's Denmark! Which isn't by Sweden at all! I tell you, I've just had an incredible, revelatory hour with a map of Europe.
- Lech Walesa, the former President of Poland, had a name that sounds a bit like when you make small opening and closing movements with a squeaky door.
- There was a big pact in Warsaw.
- Erm, erm, there might be wolves there.
As you can see, it's not an enormous knowledge base to start working gags off."

This pearl of wisdom from a purported Anthropologist. Don't know about you, but he doesn't seem to be entirely knowledgable on the subject of Poles and Poland to be making ublic statements, don't you think?

Pissed Off!!!

Well I have to say I haven't researched much for the WTF for this week, and have had a bunch of stuff going on... However, I say "WTF" to the guys who came into our work garage and stole as many Catalytic Converters as they could get their hands on... Assholes!

The security and police caught up to them JUST AS they were sawing my very own muffler to pieces trying to get mine, so my car was still jacked up and everything. So I have had trouble getting to work for the last 2 days because of some stupid Thugs who don't want to work themselves, but will pay $4.00 USD to go into a garage in the middle of the day during Lunch Hour, to steal from hard working people.

To these guys I say "WTF?!?! and I hope you rot in hell."

Stupid Mancunian Ad

The city of Manchester (UK) is trying to decrease the number of cars in the city.
It is doing so by improving their public transport service with a Metroshuttle,
and advertising to business people that this will enable them to better work together (less traffic jams?).
Why then does the Metroshuttle logo display 3 gear wheels interlocking
so that none of them can move the tiniest little bit?

WTF! Stupid marketing/ad-men have no idea about engineering!!

WTF ACTUALLY GIVES A SHIT?

Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts.

American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad in first class.

30% of Chinese adults live with their parents.

200 million people in China live on less than $1 a day.

There are 100 million internet users in China. Some of the sites they can't access are BBC news, Amnesty International and Dalailama.com.

In 2006, there were 398 million mobile (or cell) phones in China.

China is the source of 70% of the worlds pirated goods.

20% of the world's population lives in China.

People spend about two weeks of their lives at traffic lights!

Left handed people live slightly shorter lives than right handed people.

YOU'LL ALL REST EASY IN YOUR BEDS NOW EH?

Plodding gayly along?

Only in Australia....

Penis Painter "Pricasso" in the Running for Top Art Prize

Australian Tim Patch, who uses his penis as a paint brush, has entered himself into the Archibald Prize, Australia's top art prize. The entry this year is a cheeky self portrait of the man who calls himself Pricasso.

Patch said of his paining: "I had to use my bum to paint in the background, because you have to have the occasional break." Patch also entered the Archibald Prize last year, with a painting of a plastic surgeon, but did not win.

(Not that he gave a XXXX).....I'll get me coat

And yeas I know it ain't Friday but I do shifts ok? That means it's sort of Friday to me. So there.
