Can't think. Head fluffy. Lymph nodes sore. Throat stinging. Shoulders ache. You did want to know that, didn't you? Excellent. In that case, you may look inside my head:

If the bubblicious Ark Hotel were ever built, it would prove beyond all doubt that the world is completely and utterly brilliant and everything in it is absolutely perfect.

'Can' frontman Damo Suzuki rocks out with Dead Sea Apes. Yes, he's still verging on incomprehensible but yes, he's still got it.

A selection of lewd pranks and shamings from 17th Century London. There are no rude pictures and it's all very tame but only you know how cruel your workplace is.

One Night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble.

Is Bruce Wayne only a mask Batman wears? Of course not. Don't be daft.

The latest and greatest TF2 version of a pop song. This time, the Scout and Pyro sing 'Love The Way You Lie' by Eminem and Rihanna. Quite splendid.

Go on, now. Do a Thursday. Hop to it.

Shack morality voltron question:

Is it immoral for me to use an unlimited 30-day MetroCard that I found on the street? I can't decide. :( I'm surprised it hasn't been cancelled after 3 days; I guess whoever lost it bought it with cash (if they bought it with credit, they could get a pro-rated refund and have it cancelled), but it's not like I can give it back to them.
