Io9 needs to start having a quote of the week so that this can be it.

Maybe, someone may have to come up with a name more appealing to popular tastes than "rat meat" first though, like when Sainsbury's renamed pollock "colin" so it wouldn't sound so cheap...except not quite like that obviously, because that was stupid.

Stallone approves

Some things are just too beautiful for this world.

It was, almost impossible to get to DVD though for some reason. It's out of print now and going by the cost of the few copies that are kicking around it wasn't in print for very long at all. Also it's region one only and the print is (by the accounts I've found) terrible anyway.

Poisoner Graham Young makes for a pretty interesting example for the range of different poisons he used (and because the banner image is from "The Young Poisoners Handbook" which is loosely about him). Covering all the different categories posted here ( at various points in his "career" he used aconite, digitalis and…

I'm yet to come across any animal video, no matter how innocuous, that doesn't have at least one person in the comments claiming it's cruelty somehow.

Why not Zoidberg indeed.

Nuts to that "Jedi" nonsense, I know what's going in the "religion" box on my next census form.

Ah, so in effect, a "Just don't take the piss Ok?" clause. Sounds quite good actually.

And on that day, the New York planning office realised it's "Jenga blocks only" building materials requirement may have been a mistake.

I'm in the UK, and the rooms in the house are all individual but the house itself is mixed. All the individual rooms do come furnished with double beds though, which heavily suggests they're not going to be fussed about us sharing any of them. :)

Everything else was standard, the agency is perfectly reputable, the previous tenants had been there a long time and weren't leaving because there were any issues (it's a student house, so they've just finished study now) it's a super nice house, and we'll only be there 9 months.

Aw, I want a whole movie about Millburn and Fifield going about their wacky antics. I wonder if there is enough deleted footage to piece one together?

:) Ta, but I don't think it's that bad. I might ask the agency (don't think we have a direct contact for the landlord) but seeing as they handle everything and the owner themselves seems to be hands off, I'm guessing it's just a moment of paranoia on their part.

Honest first thought: "Since when does io9 care about Jessica Simpson?"

My new lease, which starts in 3 weeks, includes a clause barring all "immoral" activity on the property (it's a shared house, the landlord doesn't live there). The agreement already bars all illegal activity, so it can't refer to that meaning...we're all completely at a loss as to what it means actually.

"But "Why the long face?" is hardly a critical comment."

I've occasionally wondered about putting together a guide for the benefit of people who like to do this.

3) Not with a criticism maybe? Seriously, who, when wanting to start a conversation with a stranger, opens with a critical comment about their face?
