I think it's a bit creepy, but not as bad as some children's books I've seen. There's a company which produces children's books based on the Seven Deadly Sins, and it's just plain disturbing, as well as scary (in the book about Wrath one of the children is pushed down some stairs and dies). Has anyone else heard of this?

I know a guy who was the drummer for The Animals (who sang the House of the Rising Sun) but left to start his own band. He works at the guitar shop down my road...
Also my grandparents used to have their own dentist clinic, and one day the Beatles (ALL of them) came in for some kind of emergency treatment or something along those lines. But this was before they were famous, so they didn't think to get their autographs or a picture of them or anything...

Reminds me of the Mozart bottle guy. That's probably what it's based on.
For anyone who hasn't seen it (it is pretty much everywhere) here's the link:

I think this one is pretty pointless. The Daleks are already copper coloured, makeshift looking and covered in metal rivets. That's pretty much the essence of steampunk, so this is just overkill.
And I think most of the steampunk ideas are running out now. There's not really much more you CAN do.

The best thing about the London marathon is the costumes. You get loads of people just sticking a wig and some headboppers on but there are some really excellent ones too. This year there was someone dressed as the Iron Giant (from Brad Bird's animation) complete with a miniature figure of Hogarth on his shoulder, a rhino, a giant pink nurse, someone on stilts and a load of convicts chained together!

I love Banksy's work, but it makes a load of stupid teenagers think that just because they have paint and like to draw on buildings it makes them artists. It doesn't. I'm not really opposed to graffiti at all (except if it's on private property) if it's good quality, but more often than not it's just a person's tag drawn in basic lines. I wish there would be more imagination to it. I once saw an incredible psycadelic fantasyscape about twenty odd foot long painted on a wall by a playground in Hanover. If people actually put effort into what they were doing, they'd be taken so much more seriously.

There's nothing wrong with the Tallmingle one. I have very tall friends and it can be difficult for them to find people who aren't put off immediately by their height, especially women. Dating sites like this are a good idea, I think.

There are TONS on the Pirates of the Caribbean disk. The best one is an interview with Keith Richards about how Johnny Depp based the character of Jack Sparrow on him (don't ask me where it is... search the internet if you want to find out)
Also, in the DVD of the Ring there's an egg of the Ring video (I haven't got up the courage to watch it yet though...), and in the DVD of Moulin Rouge there's a clip of Nicole Kidman laughing hysterically.

This isn't really new, there's been a company which make dog shaped bags for ages called Fuzzy Nation (www.fuzzynation.com)
I have one in the shape of a chiuaua and my sister has a patterned one in the shape of a pug.
And for people who have heart attacks about leather you can buy them in fabric as well.

It's an octave below the bari, so I'm guessing the C two octaves below middle C to about E above middle C. Ouch. That's two octaves lower than an alto sax.
I don't know about contrabass saxes, but you can buy bass saxes (which are about a fifth higher I think) pretty easily through specialist shops.
Also, I have no idea why he's holding the sax up. You're meant to rest it on a spike to play it, similar to a bass clarinet or a cello. It's just making it more difficult to play if you hold it up.

He looks like the lovechild of Mr Fantastic and Flat Stanley. Plus sort of like what happens when you stretch your Stretch Armstrong toy too far.

Oh I can never see these things. I focus too much on one point I think, or for some reason my brain can't be fooled by them. It might have something to do with the fact that I have no sight in one eye. I don't really know much about the science behind these, so I can't tell why I can't see them.

That's freakily real... it's like the crazy women who collect plastic babies which look identical to the real thing...
I suppose this is more socially acceptable though, as a toy for a child whose parents can't keep a dog.

You missed off "Kill an entire population except for the virgins, then take them for yourselves" (Numbers 31: 1-54)
Also "Rape a woman then pay her father fifty shekels" (Deutoronomy 22:28-29)
I think the Old Testament of the Bible is pretty far-fetched, but that doesn't mean that the whole of the Christian religion should be undermined. For a start, it was written thousands of years ago when things like this would have been more acceptable. Secondly, it's written by men, who have a tendency to exaggerate things to make a better story. And lastly, the New Testament is completely different to this and generally has a good message, and that's what most Christians follow today.
I wouldn't call myself a Christian, but I think that Christianity has some good values if you take the whole thing with a pinch of salt.

It's also interesting to see how the photo quality has changed over time!
