Is celibacy simply a natural thing for lots of people?

Saveloy: Would they turn into a proper, full sized house, or a person sized one..?

The former, definately. I'm thinking a big ol' haunted mansion type place.

Wow, imagine the various stages of transformation! I suppose the only way to kill it would be with a solid silver demolition ball. But how would one werehouse pass the curse to another?

But how would one werehouse pass the curse to another?

I dunno, maybe you just spend a bit too long in there... But werewolves pass werewolfness on via bite, so maybe you have to hurt yourself while in the house, catch your hand on a nail or a broken window or summink.

Also, what would happen if you were in the house when it changed back into a person?

"Moreover, while humans and most species are divided into only two sexes, mushrooms contain over 36,000 sexes."

When you are not focused on the good things you already have, you shouldn't be surprised when things go bad.

I think "Treehouse Psycho" would be a fantastic name for a band.

Ingenious rocks: rocks that sit there quietly coming up with amazing ideas. Using a special translator device, one could communicate with the rock and find out what it was thinking.

Some friendly people might adopt ingenious rocks, making frineds with them and helping to turn their visions into reality. However, unscrupulous types might keep rocks as prisoners, milking them for marketable products and denying them credit for their inventions.

Has anyone ever tried just carrying a microphone around with them all the time, so that you’re completely wire-tapped 24/7, and then having it all put straight onto a blogg, so that you have a kind of stream-of-consciousness blogg, recording everything you every say?

Would that be a good thing?

Depends who it was and what they were doing. I mean, if you wiretapped for example someone who'd just eaten a pound of shrooms that might rock, potentially. If the blogger was me you'd just get a bunch of Spanish verb lists and stuff like "No! Shoot the goblin! SHOOT THE GOBLIN!" or "Have we got any teabags? Ooh, I should have checked before I came out, maybe I should get some to be on the safe side, ooh those carrots look nice" ect.

Hmmm, yes, and I can imagine the strife resulting when all those muttered insults that I don’t really mean and don’t want people to hear were recorded.

Might be cool to spend the day walking around crowded areas where everyone is talking, recording snippets of conversation and blogging those. I used to record tube journeys sometimes.

Fuck, that’s not a bad idea...

I’ve overheard snippets of convo in Glasgow that (I’ve mused) would go well on some doom-laden Godspeed you Black Emperor-style track. Like last year, a guy walked past me in the street one evening, talking on his mobile, and he seemed to be anxiously delivering instructions to help someone put out a chip-pan fire.

Instead of blogs, people will one day log onto a site and find themselves a la John Malkovitch, in the mind of someone else, seeing everything as they do it, though not in control.

I remember one time I was browsing in a 2nd-hand bookshop and this guy runs in. He rushes up to the desk and goes "Please, you've got to save my life!" and the desk guy goes "what?" and the save-my-life guy goes "I'm in the middle of making a steak and kidney pie and I've got guests coming and don't know how to make pastry! Have you got cookery books? I need a cookery book!"

Wish I'd been wired that day.

When I'm typing I feel like all the letters are real, like tiny little objects that I'm putting into place. I don't like accidentaly typing the same word twice (like this this), because then I'll have to delete one copy which is a waste of my letters. Also, I always try to delete the most recent copy of the word, because the letters haven't taken root yet.

Grant Morrison is a dirty art thief!

I was looking at the cover to the Trainspotting soundtrack when I noticed that something about Sick Boy looked weird. His suit, hair, expression, and pose are the same as the fucking picture of Jack Frost in the last panel of Invisibles vol. 3 number 2! (and no, I didn't recognises it immediatly, it bugged me for quite a while before I could place it.)

I'm too lazy to find a picture, so you're going to have to dig it out yourselves. But it's true.

Oh no it's the Doll episode of the X-files and I'm compelled to stay up. I've also just remembered an almost Neo-realistic scene in good/bad horror flick Demonic Toys. You know where that girl crawls through a vent, tells her life story and then supposedly dies of camera.... weird.

In answer to my own question, yes, apparently. Damn you internet search function that doesn't immediately jump to the top of the page thereby leading me to believe that there are no other instances of a word on a page.

No, no, paper clips are the larval stage of coathangers.

I think five-cent pieces are made from a special alloy that disappears when you need it. They tried making a stealth bomber out of this metal, but whenever they had a mission they couldn't find it.

I've said this before, and I'll probably say it again, but Christina Ricci is the kind of woman that makes you want to run down the street wearing nothing but a thin layer of German potato salad, and sing, sing, sing...

Psychic zombies: Individuals forced by a busted-out ankle-chakra to feed upon others. Unbeknownst to their victims, psychic zombies suck the braaaains out of their energy bodies. Not their actual physical braaaains. Psychic zombies eat psychic braaaains. Unlike the ignorant media's portrayal of the zombie community as mindless braaaain-devouring monsters who leave their victims lying on the tarmac with a head like a well-scooped boiled egg, they may only take the merest nibble of that spicy spicy astral cerebrum. The only ill-effects are short-lived and inconsequential: a passing fondness for McDonald's food, a brief tendancy to become fixated on the doings of Paris Hilton, or manifesting signs of amusement at a Farrely Brothers "comedy." Their energy bodies will renew themselves over time. The unfotunate psychic zombie's will not, and he or she will be driven once more to seek out those tangy astral braaaaaaaiiiiins.

The lottery is a system whereby people pay money and then a prize is given and the rest of the money is spent on Good Works.

Income tax is a system whereby people pay money and then that money is spent on Good Works.

What if we combined them?

What if income tax was actually a lottery with weekly prizes of millions of pounds, with the remainder spent on the usual stuff? Would everyone be happy to pay their taxes then?
