A girl from Manchester, a girl from Liverpool and a Jamaican girl all give birth to boys at the same time in the same hospital. However, the nurses get the babies mixed up.
To sort it out they decide to ask the dads to pick their own child. They ask the man from Manchester first but he picks the black baby. The nurses argue with him that the baby can't possibly be his, but he replies, "I know that! One of the other two could be a Scouser and it just isn't worth the fucking risk!"

Was at an electronics store today, looking for a decent retro gamepad for emulator play (the XBox controller's D-pad is a bit shit for precision), or maybe a not too expensive but not too cheap flight stick and go play some space sims or Rise of Flight (all of which sucks on XBox controller).

Lo and behold ... they only have Xbox controllers or knock offs. Nothing else. But an estimated 18574 different gaming mice. (Is the plural for a computer mouse 'mice'? It feels weird.)

My nomination for the single most annoying website:

http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/

Why?

Well given Amazons somewhat erratic and fast changing pricing behaviour, I find I go to buy something there, then think Oh that's a bit high, I wonder what how low it's recently been priced at.
So you paste in the isbn or code, and this come comes up:

Arse, I think, it was nearly half price, twice for a few hours just a few days ago; I'll wait a bit for it to drop down again. So you don't buy, a day or so later you check and, !!!! double arse, it's gone up in price still further.   

So you don't buy and get locked into a cycle of checking every few days to see if it's dropped anywhere near the 2nd lowest price you nearly bought it at in the first place.

It was more eroic than anything else.

[Admiral Yi]

Is that a word?

[Syt]

Maybe he meant erotic? Or heroic?

And finally we have an answer to the debate about what to do in case of car breakdown on a busy highway.
