Newsreader Revenge

Everyone remembers the “giant seagull” which “attacked” Peter Hitchener at the beginning of a recent Nine News Melbourne bulletin. It went viral almost immediately. Well, “Hitch” has had his revenge. Sort of. Courtesy of Melbourne’s Channel 31 program, “The Inquiry”. Kinda cheesy, but humourous nonetheless!

Foxtel EPG: Invisible Program

Got a bit of a laugh out of this in the Foxtel EPG last night. An invisible program! It has no title, no description, and runs from 9:25pm until 9:25pm, complete with the option of setting a reminder to watch it. I wonder if we had iQ, if it would have let me record it? […]

Melbourne Under Attack from Japan!

Well…perhaps not REALLY. But this rain radar image from today shows a heavy band of rain, shaped very much like the country of Japan! Similar?

Error Error?

I noticed the following Microsoft patch applied itself to my laptop this morning. Interestingly, without the patch “Control Panel will incorrectly display an error message”. Incorrectly display? As in, in error? So that makes it an erroneous error. It reminds of the message I saw on a Sun Xterm many moons ago – “Error – […]

Taxi Makes Improvements to Train Station

According to the sign on the barrier, this Melbourne taxi made some significant improvements to Southern Cross Station! I’m sure the driver, passenger, and people on the footpath weren’t so sure about the term “improvement”, but I got a laugh out of the placement of the signs. Two Injured in CBD Taxi Crash

Michael Jackson Alive?

Michael Jackson married Lisa-Marie Presley. Lisa-Marie Presley is the daughter of Elvis Presley. Many ratbags think that Elvis Presley is still alive. Now this video claims to be “proof” that Michael Jackson is also still alive. Seriously, I guess that this sort of rubbish had to start eventually. Maybe we’ll start seeing Whacko Jacko at […]

Don’t Crash My Train!

Noticed this one on the way home from work today on one of V/Line’s V’Locity 160 trains. They need a key for someone to open the compartment to get to the emergency door release? Hmmm. Really hope I’m not relying on someone in the emergency services having a V/Line key to open this in the […]

Spider Cow!

Got a laugh out of this pose from a five-legged cow, born at Curlewis, Victoria, Australia. Kind of looks like “spider cow”, no? Curlewis Calf Has a Little Something Extra

Newspaper Fail

So the Geelong Advertiser is showing a live feed of the Geelong Business Excellence Awards? I don’t think the Geelong Advertiser are going to win this year!

Riewoldt is Next Top Model

Is Nick Riewoldt America’s Next Top Model? Perhaps not – but Cycle 12 of the show, recently launched on FOX8, introduces us to Celia. Are she and Riewoldt the same person? You be the judge. I think it might just be the eyebrows.
