Nothing makes you feel more like a telly-addict than when someone makes a geeky reference to a Sci-fi show and everyone knows exactly what they mean. This site has a list of Simpsons scenes and which films they came from. It looks like Matt Groening's even more of a telly-addict than me.

It might seem like a lot of money, but when you think you could have your own road-legal panzer to protect you from the agony of being hit by paintballs, £8,000 doesn't seem that much. It also has a working paintball cannon.

A group of Pygmy musicians performing at a festival were put up in a zoo by Congolese officials, attracting tourists and prompting a protest from a human rights group.
Authorities said they were trying to make the indigenous musicians feel comfortable. But after a flurry of media coverage, they moved the visitors to a high school dormitory. The Pygmies are now being housed with musicians from elsewhere in the Republic of Congo, while foreign artists performing at the Festival of Pan-African Music were lodged in hotels.

These seem to sell out within a few days of coming into stock. This time though, I managed to grab one. There are still a few left at the moment, but they'll probably be sold out again in a few days, so buy one quick!
Two Atlanta men survived an attempt to kill themselves on Friday by cutting off their arms with a circular saw, according to Atlanta Police Major Lane Hagin.
The men managed to sever three of their arms about six inches above the wrist, he said.
The two men — aged 40 and 41 — left a suicide note saying they were committing suicide because their business had failed and they had been diagnosed with HIV. The manager who read the note called police who found the two men in their apartment with “a lot of blood,”.
I can think of less agonising ways to top yourself.

. Pat Dori, a disgruntled customer who phoned Dell 19 times eventually decided to take the company to court for 'failing to adequately address the problem'. He had the legal papers delivered to a Dell kiosk in a shopping centre, and not surprisingly, no one from Dell turned up in court. Mr. Dori won the case by default, and won $3000 and a ruling allowing the repo depot to close the kiosk and seize everything there if the judgement wasn't paid. Dell decided to settle out of court.
Probably not the best idea, these Lego shaped gummies are an accident waiting to happen. What's next, gummy razor blades?
