* Jimi Hendrix and Georg Friederich Händel were next door neighbors. Not at the same time, he hastens to add, but their respective homes in the Mayfair section of London are next door to one another.
* Apparently the thing on the Internets that's the hottest of the shit now is something called Joost, an internet/television killer app which has inspired a quest for beta-tester tokens not seen since the origin of 16-letter screennames on AOL back in the 14th century. Google searches for these tokens revealed at least one eBay auction for one (someone actually paying 51 bucks for the privilege of testing a product), at least one haiku/limerick contest with a token as the winning prize (Such impatient geeks/Gotta have the Next Big Thing/I'll Pay Fifty-Two), hundreds of people asking and none offering.
* In the wonderful world of slightly illegal pharmeceuticals, I learned today that (a) Boots The Chemist is offering non-prescription Viagra in several of its Manchester stores on a trial basis- giving entirely new meaning to the term "Manchester United"- and (b) Canadian pharmacies have, for years, been offering a codeine-laced pain reliver product known affectionately as "222s" withoot a prescription, which, on reflection, makes the plight of a Maple Leaf fan much more understandable.
* The New York Mets will have a much better chance of securing my presence at one of their home games this year if they eventually relent and put single game tickets on sale.
* After not having anything new in this house to read as recently as 48 hours ago, I am now swimming in reads.
* There remain several unguessed "poems" on the meme from the other day. You should try it if you haven't yet.
* This is the post that doesn't end, it just goes on and on my friend....
