I've never liked Belgian chips as much as British chips. However too many places in Britain seem to have forgotten how to cook chips properly.

British chips are fat like Belgian ones, but generally speaking rather than being fried twice they are parboiled to soften before frying. Frying at a low temperature first is what makes Belgian chips so oily, parboiling doesn't have this effect.

Traditionally British chips are cooked in beef fat, but many shops these days use vegetable oil because of it's supposed health benefits. I suspect, however, that most of the shops use vegetable oil because it's cheaper, but the chips just don't taste the same.

But mayonaise?! On chips? Salt and vinegar, definitely. Ketchup, if you must. But mayonaise?

The slipstream explanation is a little short of the truth. As any race car driver can tell you not only does the lead vehicle give a "tow" to the following vehicle, but the following vehicle will actually give a slight "push" to the vehicle in front. Which is probably why a bunch of cyclists can generally achieve a higher top speed than a lone cyclist.

We're told border control staff are really sharp, but in reality it seems you could fool them with a photoshopped image of a passport. It's to be hoped that no potential terrorists have read this story.

Just so long as the toy shark has swallowed half of a toy sonic screwdriver there should be no problem getting it back down again.

Has it never occurred to pollsters that there will always be those respondents who give a deliberately stupid answer?

Furthermore does it not occur to them that those respondents checking "don't know" really mean "don't care".

Except that I don't have extra room for dessert. Or rather I don't have room for a sweet. If I have any room left I'll have cheese, but sweet desserts leave me cold.

If there's no other option and I'm still hungry I'll have a sweet dessert, but I'm usually disappointed.

I wasn't aware that Gorey ever chopped up old cards to make animations.

Classic Gilliam with a heavy Milligan influence.

"Secret Hidden Beatles Message"

Now that header is just made of fail.

Well it's not much of a secret since Paul refers to it during the show. That's what makes the song on the closing titles funny, you don't need to hear it backwards to know it's a recipe for lentil soup.

Secondly it isn't a Beatles song. It was originally a solo McCartney effort and later re-recorded by Wings. Indeed since it's a song about how Linda helped McCartney through the Beatles breakup it could hardly be less of a Beatles song.

This is nothing new. This has happened so often in the past that I can't see why it makes the news any more. Even the ska band Madness have achieved this effect.

"Remember when celebrity portraits weren’t photoshopped, and the stars were allowed to relax and be themselves, rather than posing on ridiculously overdone sets in the latest couture ensemble?"

They still are when they pose for real photographers.

Google a superhero? Supervillain more like.

It doesn't matter whether all the cows want to lie down at the same time. It's a matter of giving them sufficient space to move around and a typically stEUpid way of defining it. They could have simply stated a number of square metres per beast.

However you define it. Imagine 100 humans being corralled in a space big enough for them all to lie down. They wouldn't like it.

Donkey != ass

Correlation Causation

Statistics Science

It's amazing how many people confuse statistics and science, especially people who should know better.

No they didn't get lucky. If anything they were unlucky.
