An IBM commercial claims “by 2010 thirty percent of the data stored on the world’s computers will be medical images”. That number seems a little high to me. Assuming it is true, that means that sixty-nine percent will be pr0n.

Lady Ruggers 22 August, 2009

Last Wednesday I enjoyed watching the first half of the ladies’ collegiate rugby championship. (No spoilers, please.) While the ladies appeared skilled and tough like the gents, I did notice three differences:

1. There was less variation in size amongst the ladies. The height and weight differences between the forwards and backs were much smaller.

B. Perhaps as a result of the previous, the game was much less chippy. In the gentlemen’s game, one expects to see the forwards giving each other the business.

III. In the gentlemen’s game I have never seen a Number 8 cry for being sent to the sin bin.

Whilst tucking in the kids some time back my eldest, who can be quite chatty, kept on and on. I was quite tired and feeling unwell and wanted to be done soon. Finally I instituted a limit of ten more words. My eldest paused for a moment and then asked “Can boys have sex with other boys?”

So much for being done soon.
