Finally, a Witty Inflight Interlude.

My exper­i­ence with air­line safety instruc­tions are rather for­get­table. The announ­cers seem to con­sider drawl­ing over words with a thick Malay­sian accent to be the appro­pri­ate means of com­mit­ting the quite import­ant pro­ced­ures to decrease your chances of dying should the flight encounter an unex­pec­ted crash-and-burn, mid-flight explo­sion, engine fail­ure, or a myriad of other

Recommended Review Reading

Awe­some allit­er­a­tion accom­mod­ated as always after attend­ing at amaz­ingly astute ana­lysis arranged at artist­ic­ally aus­tere anim­ated aard­varks. Sorry about that. I have an allit­er­at­ive run in my sys­tem I need to work off. Any­way, if it were pos­sible to enjoy read­ing a review without fear of spoil­ers, this one on Ombak Rindu is spot on. As

Andy Zaltzman on LQ

I am down­load­ing the epis­ode now from my favour­ite pun­meister and usu­ally funny comedian Andy Zaltz­man based on the descrip­tion at Lapham’s Quarterly. Andy Zaltz­man, comedian and co-host of the fant­astic Bugle pod­cast reads pas­sages from LQ about some of antiquity’s loon­i­est des­pots.

My Favourite April Fools Joke of 2012

No need to run through the usual sus­pects on the web who have ded­ic­ated some time to an April Fools prank.

The Bible Essential Notes

Death by Laughter

The latest epis­ode of The Bugle had me laugh­ing so hard and for so long dur­ing the “maths ques­tions” seg­ment that I may have irre­par­ably dam­aged my throat and may recom­mend Bugle 186 as an effect­ive tor­ture device. That’s all. If this is not reason enough for you to down­load this amaz­ing pod­cast, you are

Death & Birth

It is with the utmost pleas­ure for me to present truth dressed as bull­shit and bull­shit lead­ing to res­ist­ance. First, the latest SMBC Theatre that makes fun of the­ists and the sin­gu­lar­ity while cel­eb­rat­ing geek cul­ture with Baroque strings play­ing over a sketch with three guys under­neath the shadow of a tree. Next, the launch of
