# Big Ideas : Don't Get Any

Radiohead held an online contest to remix “Nude” from their album – “In Rainbows” ... I decided to take the piss a bit, as the contest seemed to be in that spirit.

Awesome for two reasons : 1) Radiohead, and 2) Old hardware. Watch and listen.

# Garfield without Garfield

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?

More Garfield without Garfield.

I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher – not lower – than -8 but I’m not having it.

Very funny, but sadly true.

It’s like that drunk idiot you see at some parties who keeps telling the same joke to everyone within earshot. The joke might be funny the first time you hear it, but by the end of the night you want to decapitate the annoying bastard.

Look at all those zero cents … this would be really useful as a way of sending ratings information back to myself.

‘codegolf’ is a bot that lives in #codegolf on irc.freenode.net, and reports successful submissions by players of Code Golf.

I believe it’s the first time someone has tried talking to him.

# it's a hambush!

Two poor old souls find themselves lost in the Sahara. Desparate for food and water, they walk for days on end and feel like giving up.

Just as they are about to collapse, then they both see a tree in the distance. As they walk towards it one of them smells bacon.

“It’s a bacon tree!” “It can’t be, we must be going mad.” “No, really, smell it!”

Overcome by his desire to be sated one of the pair makes a dash for bacon tree, but as he gets to the tree, he’s cut down in a hail of bullets.

His friend calls out to his wounded friend “Are you OK? Is it really a bacon tree?”

“No”, is the reply, “it’s a hambush!”
