    Last time I passed through Te Puke I felt my gorge rise.

    "Am I what?"

    so tightly controlled that it was able to reach out and remotely delete '1984' from the Kindle of everyone who bought it :-)

    And they say that Merkins have no sense of Irony.

    how did he make this video without killing himself, or somebody else?

    Ermmm, the guy doing the video is in the passenger seat, it's American, not to be confused with A Merkin

    What K-T Did
    __"She'll be Apples Mate"__.

    Evolutionary analysis tracked this whole genome duplication (WGD) event to around 60 million years ago. It is thought to be a genetic survival response to an event that caused mass extinctions of other species, including the dinosaurs. Other well adapted plant species, such as poplar, have been shown to have undergone a similar evolutionary response at the same time.

    So, Eve was a Dinosaur? and couldn't be saved by Iridium
    Mind you, that Phone's no iCandy

    Would you include folks like our host's mother in that general anathema?

    I am unaware of Russell's Mum being a speculative Diary Farmer, that label is, deservedly, hanging around the necks of the Crafers and their ilk.
    I am still shuddering at the shock of being described as "Frightfully Right Wing" by your good self

    .Jewish scholars believe that it was the pomegranate that was the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden.

    There you go, blame the Poms.

    My Spidey senses tell me that something stinks. When I hear the term "Dairy Farming" and "Canterbury" in the same sentence coming out of the mouth of our MP for Cuthullul-Southland my mind turns to Water, well, not literally but...
    The debacle , Enviro-Canterbury, which includes Gerry Brownlee's electorate, Illam, sorry that should be Illam seems to be the something that this do nothing Government is doing. Well apart from what Paula (Work will set you free) Bennet is doing to beneficiaries, which, I might add, is similar to what Jenny Shipley did to bail out the BNZ back in '95.
    So, when Blinglish decides what he is going to do about SCF I wonder how much of our "Hard Earned Money"™ will disappear with those failed Dairy Farmers?.

    Having watched every episode so far of "This is not my life" (jeeze, is it slow or what?) I think I'll wait for one of those nifty credit card sized "do everything pad" things, they are the Jizz.
    Until then, say after me "Apple is Evil, Apple is Evil" cos the Bibble , a poem by John Milton, says so.
    Would you Adam 'n' Eve it?.

    Aren't you risking Michael Laws filing a defamation suit?

    Nah, all you have to say is "That's not what I meant by F Off"

    Still haven't found the perfect iPad game

    Frisbee?
    Sorry, couldn't help it.
    And... It does make me consider an argument against copyright, the iPad is a great starting point for a really useful device. It wouldn't take much to add a little more functionality, front camera and a USB port for starters but to turn it into a "Do Everything" device like a Desktop PC would see it crashing and burning like a... well, a desktop PC running Vista.
