    It’s not the Super 14, it’s the Super XIV.

    Even if it is I would refuse to write it, I have a hatred for Roman Numerals. And because you might think I'm kidding: it's because the Roman's did nothing for mathematics except develop a widely used yet completely useless numerical system.

    Is it on this thread that the Wellingtonians of PAS should start to organise themselves a Great Blend proxy?

  • Hard News: Nerd Dad,

    Here I was talking with friends about the order you should show the Star Wars series to your children (answer: IV-VI and then hide the others forever) and now I've got another question: when to let them near my comics?

  • Hard News: Effectively Friday,

    Kung Fu Monkey had this to say about Big Hollywood a while back:

    It's a crack pinata. It's a garden of crack pinatas, and I'm spinning and spinning -- half the site is triumphantly noting that Hollywood is finally making conservative or secretly conservative big budget mega-hits (Dark Knight! Iron Man! Transformers!) while the other half bemoans how Hollywood keeps making anti-war/anti-American movies mega-flops. Somehow the massive hits made by mega-corporations are happy subversive accidents, while flops are the direct product of these exact same mega-corporations' self-destructive liberal agendas.

    Also how right was I in the original post:

    So we won, but have something to grumble about, in other words a perfect win for New Zealand!

    Haddin clearly had his gloves in front of the stumps and appeared to have dislodged the bails himself as the ball entered his hands.

    If a wicketkeeper’s gloves are in front of the stumps it should be declared a no-ball.

    We watched the replay on Monday morning (first time I had seen MySky HD and I am now in love). One of the commentators did say that it should be a no-ball because his gloves were in front (a rule I never knew) and that the umpire should have called it.

  • Southerly: E=mc^2... Your Views,

    Reading the post I had to stop myself from getting angry ( it's not real it's not real it's not real )

    In the end I had to vote "no" just to make myself feel better. Where are the results?

  • OnPoint: Don’t let them eat cake,

    "hoons" - a good kiwi word that doesn't get used enough.

    I didn't think of it as a kiwi word so I had to look it up. you are right, but check out the etymology

    At the turn of the 20th century in Australia, the term "hoon" (and its rhyming slang version "silver spoon")[3] had a different meaning: one who lived off immoral earnings (i.e. the proceeds of prostitution – a pimp or procurer of prostitutes).
