thanks to yesterdays post, i'm going to try something.

the end of yesterdays post, i said i was going to pull a subject out of a hat, and talk about that, with the help of a wikipedia article. i'll probably do some further research.

this will allow me to say my views on a wide variety of things, making this blog a record on my opininons, of random things. yeah, thats an awesome blog idea. (note sarcasm. its difficult to portray sarcasm through just the medium of words, so thats the 'tell')

i hope it will also show anyone who reads this blog that an encyclopedia that can be edited by anyone can actually be very informative, mainly because the people who edit the pages into humorous parodies of their subject are balanced by many no-nonsense self righteous moderators. you may say thats only the popular pages that get moderated, but just remember, if a page on wikipedia has been made, obviously someone cares about the subject.

today, to choose the subject i clicked 'random page.' thats a fun thing to do when you're bored you learn so much apparently useless information.

first, i learnt the focker D.C.I. is a type of plane. it sounded like a detective or a policeman to me at first.
then i found out that some guy called thomas nash killed a bear. thats literally all that was on the page. he killed a bear. i naturally assume he was canadian for some reason. i don't know why.

then there was a turkish dam called the bayramdere dam built between 1999 and 2002.

then i found a certain 'red dwarf' episode. red dwarf is an awesome show. if you don't know what it is, its about a guy, on a space ship called the red dwarf, who is put in stasis as punishment for brining a cat on the ship. while hes in stasis, some idiot caused an accident which killed himself and the entire crew, except the stasis guy, called lister, and the cat, and her kittens, who hid, somewhere, on the ship.

the computer lets lister out 3 million years later, after the fatal consequence of the accident has been fixed, and the ship is livable again. his companions are a descendant of his cat that has evolved into a near human thing, a hologram of the idiot that caused the accident, who was also listers roommate (they never really got on, the computer chose him because he would keep lister sane) and the sentient part of the ships computer, holly. who, for some reason, turns into a female in the later seasons. i never saw the episode to explain that.

as they try to to get back to earth, a lot of, ridiculous stuff happens, and they never miss an opportunity to pay each other out. i suppose its sort of like 'the three stooges' in space, and at the same time, nothing like that at all. if you haven't seen it, you need to, now. i'm serious. download it, or hire it out or something.

wait, what was i talking about? oh right, well, yeah i think i've said enough. this was just an introduction, really, i'll do a proper one in a few days.

here is a video of an awesome guy doing a cartwheel at the wedding, yesterday, or last night, or earlier today or whatever the hell it is. what wedding, may you ask? you bloody well know which wedding, don't make me say it.



i wish i got that excited about stuff, other than food.
