A Statistical look at the likelihood of an individual being able to go out with Britney Spears. Thanks, John. I needed a good laugh.

Crime
Apparently we had a rather disturbing incident in the night… Alex’s cute little red car got broken into! It was right there in front of the house, and somebody completely bent back part of the door to get in! They didn’t take anything though. Bunch o’ animals in this city, I tell you.

Scratched CDs
In college we always swore by the toothpaste method.

Ronnie Biggs
I don’t know about “inhuman punishment”, but I think it’s ridiculous that a convicted train robber can escape from prison, flee the country, live high on the hog in Brazil for almost forty years, and then return to England penniless on his deathbed to reap the benefits of better health care. It seems pointless to put a 70-year-old man in jail again, but it also seems pretty fair.

Election
It looks like I’m actually going to be in Britain for a national election. I can’t vote of course, but I do enjoy making fun of William Hague. I’m looking forward to it.

Congrats Amy!
I am the worst, most horrible sister in the world for not mentioning this sooner, but my little sis Amy graduated from college Sunday. Congratulations, Amer! It’s all downhill from here, kiddo. Love you…
(And YES, I did call her and tell her that in person on Sunday. I was not deluded enough to think she’d just read it on my blog. What kind of a crass, attention-seeking exhibitionist do you think I am? I only mentioned it so you could send her your own salutations. *grin*)

Scary
Meg pointed out that you can now print out your own Anne Robinson mask. Very scary indeed. This reminded me that I saw a promo for the U.S. “Weakest Link” on BBC last night. They’re actually going to show the American version over here so all the Brits can laugh at how stupid we are. I’m telling you, this show has a very dodgy agenda and it has everything to do with enforcing cultural stereotypes.
