I’m asking about steeking over on AskMeFi.
Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…

DogCatRadio
DogCatRadio – an online radio station for pets that are home alone all day. How neat! I wonder if Dr. Amy Jones would like this… (Of course, whenever I’m home in the middle of the day she just gives me grumpy looks for interrupting what is obviously All Day Naptime.)

A useful excuse
Me: Hi, We’ve been trying repeatedly for two weeks to process your order but we still can’t get your card details to go through. I can’t hold the item any longer so I’m just going to cancel the order.
Her: Sorry, I was just at this big fire in Wollongong and my wallet fell into a big burning tree stump and my credit card was destroyed so I had to have it cancelled but they’re sending me a new one next week so if you can just hold it til then I’ll call you with the new number and you can try again…
Me: Riiiiiight.I only wish I was joking. A burning tree stump.

The Race That Stops a Nation
Me: How come none of the Melbourne suppliers are answering their phones today?
Albie: It’s Melbourne Cup Day! It’s a public holiday in Victoria.
Me: What? *snort* You mean they get a public holiday because of a stupid horse race? That’s idiotic.
Albie: They’re trying to make it a holiday in New South Wales too…
Me: Yay! I love horses!Actually, my animal-phobia notwithstanding, I do love horses today… on account of the fact that my pick in the $2 sweep we had with the printers next door came in third! I won eight bucks! And my horse’s name? Xcellent…

Congratulations!
Congratulations to Tricia and Jeff, who used their “corpse bride and groom” costumes to announce their engagement. Hooray! In related news, the Snook and I will be opening a Japanese restaurant.

Trick or treat!
We had a trick-or-treater tonight! It was a little girl with her dad. I gave her a glow-in-the-dark plastic skull full of candy, which was all I had left. (I took the rest of the party leftovers to work today.) They were nice and I turned the skeleton lights on for them, but I really wish non-American trick-or-treaters would learn that you don’t go to houses without their porch lights on! It was pure luck I had the candy. These are the unwritten rules, world! Learn them.

Happy Halloween!
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you eccentric millionaire Chairman Kaga (founder of Kitchen Stadium), and Iron Chef Hiroyuki Sakai, the “Delacroix of French cuisine.”
More photos are forthcoming, but in the meantime Amy’s put a couple up on Flickr. The Other Andrew also has a write-up. (We had bloggers all over the place!) And yes, at one point in the night the Snook *did* take a bite of that pepper. 🙂

Knitted Digestive Tract
Knitted Digestive Tract. That’s kinda neat! And remember the knitted uterus from before? It’s like some Mad Knitting Scientist is creating a WoolMonster, one set of organs at a time… (Link courtesy of Nora.)
