I heard about synaesthesia on a podcast this morning. For the full explanation, check out the Wikipedia article here. From Wikipedia: Synesthesia (also spelled synæsthesia or synaesthesia, plural synesthesiae or synaesthesiae)—from the Ancient Greek  (syn), “together,” and  (aisth?sis), “sensation“—is a neurologically-based condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or [...]

I’ve been listening to / watching a lot of John Safran lately (man it feels good to use a forward slash…ahh forward slash how I’ve missed you…) and I guess you could call the guy something of a theological researcher. Yeah a crazy one whose research is largely in the name of comedy, but his [...]

Dear K-Rudd, What would I say if I told you that I’ve come up with a way for you to stimulate the economy without costing you a cent? You’d just have to pass one law, and the nation would start spending like crazy. What’s the idea, you ask? Well, the answer is: Legalize gay marriage. [...]

There are many very good reasons to be angry in Sydney. The main reason is other people. There are certain people who are just angry pretty much all the time, and just about anything will set them off. There are more of these people in Sydney because, well, there are more things around to make [...]

I don’t know if that show is still going, but I think they should just put homeless people in the Big Brother house. That way at least they get food, shelter and a chance at winning money or a job hosting a crappy channel 10 filler show on Friday nights. And let’s face it – [...]

If I ever have a kid, I’m going to teach him/her to play the guitar. This means learning to play the guitar myself first, but I’d have at least a few years before the kid is old enough to even hold a guitar, so I think I’m pretty well covered there. The point is, if [...]

Actually there are a lot of times when I want to throw turtle shells at other cars. Those red shells would be really useful in peak hour traffic. Where can I get me some of those? On the other hand I know where to get banana peels but I can’t throw them very far.

It’s Christmas time and I’d say most of you are feeling pretty uninspired when it comes to the whole gift-giving thing. Sure you might have something nice in mind for your spouse or your Mum, but there are always those other family members that you just don’t know what to buy for. Worry no more, [...]

I recently had a dream where I was throwing a party, and the catering theme was “disappointing food”. For example, lamingtons with no sugar in the cake, and custard buns with no custard in the middle. I told my mate Dewi about this dream, and he immediately thought I was referring to those after-church morning [...]

…or “I just want to make bacon and eggs, not save the planet”. Supermarkets these days are like a minefield of emotional blackmail and potentially dangerous foodstuffs. I remember back when you could go grocery shopping and just pick the cheapest item, or the item with the prettiest label. I’m not very old, so either [...]
