Beer spa:

The converted cellars include seven huge baths inspired by Victorian design where guests can swim in beer while sipping a pint at a bathside bar.

For a £80 (R880) weekend package, guests can indulge in a range of health treatments such as beer wraps, starting at £12 (about R132) per session.

The spa's owner, Jiri Plevka, said: "Beer can treat a range of conditions, particularly skin conditions, and the health centre should appeal to men who are put off by 'posh' traditional spas.

"I have heard of some places in other countries where people can swim in beer but it's just a gimmick.

"We believe in the healing properties of beer and we offer the full range of treatments. We are a fully-fledged beer spa."

I finally won the battle I was fighting with my system half of yesterday and all of today so I am leaving the office quickly before another challenge presents itself.

I declare it a weekend!

Daisy Jane - if you're around drop me a note to my profile addy. I'll put my phone # in there too. Tks.

If you go here [link] you can see a countdown for the launch of the SpaceX Falcon 1 rocket. Since this is the first launch of a new, inexpensive launch system, I figure there's a good chance for spectacular failure.

There is also a link to a video webcast, so you can watch any pretty explosions live.

Curerntly there's 30 minutes to launch.

Got the same results as Dawn - the scorlling was soooo slooooooow. Frustrating.

Stop with the bad ju ju, tommy.

Yeah, it might only fail to reach orbit, in which case we wouldn't see that....

Kalshane, that sounds like it came straight from the Computerworld Shark Tank.

Okay, so this one:

Mutters baffled fish, "Did he just admit to the IT department that he uses his work computer for surfing porn? And why is his wife using his work computer? Some people just never learn."

Reminds of a time when the techs in our corporate office were doing a late night upgrade on all the PCs down there and discovered one of the executives had a bunch of porn sites bookmarked. They redirected them all to things like disney.com and imabigloser.com, etc. What was he going to do, complain that IT changed all his porn links?

I took the Pop Culture I.Q. sample test, scored 100%, and am now earwormed with "Jeremy".

Can I go home now?

What was he going to do, complain that IT changed all his porn links?

That's the best revenge ever, the sort that the sufferer is too embarassed to ever reveal.

It's very sad that we're blasé enough for lead paragraphs like:

STABBINGS, 'FLAG BEATINGS', and school-on-school brawls, confirm that the Victoria Mutual Building Society/Inter Secondary Schools Association Boys & Girls Athletic Championships (Champs) is just one week away.

There's even a pretty joyful exclamation point in the headline.

Would it be rude to spill a bucket full of water over the head of the be-perfumed chick one cube over?

Or continue to avoid work by telling tales of krav to the co-worker that just signed up?

The countdown timer I saw was wrong. There's still 30 minutes to go.

spacex.com website. The price of using this particular rocket to send a payload into space is only $6.7 million. I knew it was cheap, but I didn't know it was that cheap.
