We still don't have phone or TV service here, so I have introduced my visiting mom to QI on You Tube, and she loves it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Do any Buffistas have old fashioned radiators? If so, one of you must get one of these.
Want! I'll take 3. One for each radiator.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That makes me want radiators, it's so perfect.
I have accomplished not one-tenth of what I wanted to do, but a couple things I needed to do. Off to read some fic and go to bed. Tomorrow is another day. Though sometimes that old adage is not so much comforting as intimidating.

Stephen Fry says that Houdini could pick up pins with his eyelashes and thread a needle with his toes.
Edit: And that semen can be used as invisible ink.

You're twice as likely to see a tornado in Britain than in the U.S.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That's because here in the US, tornadoes mostly come at night. Mostly.
OK, I made that up. Anyway, I thought the US central plains was tornado capital of the world. Oh well.

Seriously?? More tornadoes in Britain?? Why do we never hear about them? Do they do as much damage? Are there more hard-core tornadoes in the US, or have we just been brainwashed?
[edit: or is it just "in all of america" vs "all of britain", where we figure that alaska and hawaii and so on don't have a lot of tornadoes, but if we compare "tornadoey parts of britain" vs "great plains", it's def great plains?]
