Only when they're not throwing molluscov cocktails around.
(PS, I wonder who will be the first pedant to point out that the plural of octopus is octopuses).
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

I don't care what any dictionary says... The plural of Octopus is Octopii, so there!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Only because the OED refused to consider Octopuffles.

This internet thing is amazing! Letting people use it: worst idea ever!

No they want to Occupy Whale Street

Politics aside, I was always a fan of this man, and I am deeply saddened that he decided to kill himself.

Yeah, me too - I was just heading here to post the same.
CNN's Anthony Bourdain dead at 61 - CNN[^]
A fine writer, a funny man who had a real passion for food and people. He will be missed.

Can you move this thread to the Lounge? I don't know why I posted this in the Soapbox. Thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
No, I think that is a staff only function.
@Sean-Ewington can you move it for him?

Ah, for some reason I thought you were staff.

More like inventory
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

In my opinion... anything celebrity-related should go to the soap box.

Normally, I might agree with you here, but Anthony is no Justin Beiber.

I had never heard of him. And I heard on the radio that some other female celebrity that I had never heard of also killed herself this week. It bothers me that some of us only seem to care about suicides or other problems when a celebrity does it. (not saying that you are.) Meanwhile, every day this is a problem all around the world.
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it.
Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

I read recently that suicides are up like 25% since 1999. Suicides for men are 3 to 5 times higher than woman and increasing faster. White and American Indian have much higher rates than other races. Anthony Bourdain certainly matches the critera for the most likely to commit suicide.

Motorcycle - As the Rush Comes (Gabriel & Dresden Chill Mix)[^]
For the last few weeks I've been into metal, but this week's SOTW is some relaxed electronic music
It's really an older favorite of mine, might even have been SOTW before (can't remember), but I came across it again on YouTube and kept listening to it.
I checked out the original too, but this remix is really just way better.

One of those songs where the remix is better.
I'd rather be phishing!

Those guys are a little creepy, but they're actually South African (in Dutch they'd be called HET ANTWOORD)
I like some of their other songs as well like I Fink U Freaky and Baby's On Fire
