One thing I'm vehemently opposed to is replacing the number 4 button on ATM keypads with a button for the strawberry emoji. I just think that, given the costs involved and the fact that most people's PINs don't contain the strawberry emoji, it wouldn't be worth the upheaval.

I'm a genius, apparently...

Pam, you're a genius. I can't believe society hasn't thought of this before. It's the most effective and elegant solution to the blight of forgotten PINs that anyone could have ever hoped for.

Very pleasant evening in the front row of a Horne Section show. Lots of laughs and general silliness.

Timesaving tip for any other filing cabinet enthusiasts out there:

If you're checking out pictures of filing cabinet on Google image search, don't bother scrolling past the 6,508th image. The filing cabinets pictured after that aren't as good, imo 👎

It's hard for us to appreciate the true scale of Mount Everest. So to put it in a context that we can all understand, here's a comparison chart showing the height of Mount Everest alongside other tall things

WARNING: Local youths in the park are offering to verify people's Instagram account for €150. DO NOT PURCHASE. After I paid, I gave them my phone for the verification process but when they gave it back, they had changed my username to “AVerifiedDork”. I AM 99% CERTAIN IT IS NOT A LEGITIMATE BUSINESS

The famous guitar riff for Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child o' Mine" originated from a "circus melody" warm-up played by guitarist Slash during a 1986 jam session.
While Slash played the riff in a joking manner, bandmate Izzy Stradlin recognized its potential, and the band built the song around it.

US fan behaviour at the Ryder Cup is being criticised so here are some milder insults to yell at rival golfers:

- "You don't always safely eject USB devices”
- “You wrote a blog post claiming the final Game of Thrones season was very satisfying"
- “You know little about Ottoman Empire trade routes"

The question I get asked most frequently is, "Michael, what is your opinion of the Wikipedia page on doors?" Well, here are my full and honest thoughts
The Pros & Cons of The Wikipedia Page on Doors Pros 1. Is a useful source of information about doors 2. Provides a pretty good overview on the history of doors 3. Contains several enjoyable pictures of doors Cons 1. Not quite enough pictures of doors for my liking Conclusion As we can see, there are more pros than cons so my final rating for The Wikipedia page on Doors is 6/9. To put this in context, this means that The Wikipedia Page on Doors is worse than Getting a Nice Haircut (7/9) but better than Being Trapped in a Freezer (2/9).

My one criticism of Premier League footballers? The lack of imagination when exchanging souvenirs after games. They only ever swap shirts. Show some imagination, guys. Give your opponent a gift voucher for a local butcher shop. Learn woodworking and carve them a lovely doorstop. Show them you care ❤️

Here’s a poem called ‘English Roundabouts’.
English Roundabouts   They’re making the roundabouts great again by painting the flag of St George to keep our circular road systems safe from the dark, satanic hordes. What do they want? Patriotic junctions! When do they want them? Before it’s too late. Good old-fashioned English roundabouts, as decreed by Alfred the Great. Behold the sacred intersection, this blessed plot, this septic isle. English roundabouts for English people, draped in red and white and bile. St George is cross, as well he may be – whipped-up hate, he’s seen before. Give way to the right, the road signs rage, and the far right most of all. Brian Bilston

Always take proactive action when you see an ad for a job that isn't right for you. It saves a lot of potential awkwardness.

Most people believe the actors improvised the opening scene in Saving Private Ryan but movie buffs like me know that's not fully accurate. Yes, the dialogue was improvised (as it is in most films) but much of the action was likely pre-planned with some actors even being told beforehand what to do.

Some people don't even know the basic facts about our home solo system. Here's everything you need to know
Amazing Facts About the Solo System 1. The sun is so far away from Earth that you would need to tie together ELEVEN stepladders to reach it. Do not use twelve, though, because then you would overshoot the sun and we do not know what lies behind this might circle of fiery wrath 2. The solo system of 9 planets (Earth, Mars, Juliper, Plato, Moon, Sun, Nursa Major, International Space System, don't remember what the last one is called - will look it up and fill it in here before I post) 3. Our solo system is almost 150 years old. The only people who were alive for its formation are now so old that we cannot get any sense out of them. They are kept alive only by medical science and their determination to keep voting for racists in elections 4. Many monkeys were sent into the solo system as captains of the early spaceships. They have yet to come back, leading many experts to conclude that the monkeys have formed an alliance somewhere in space and will one day return to wreak a terrible vengeance upon us for casting them into space. WE NEED TO START PREPARING OUR DEFENCES FOR WHEN THE MONKEY ALLIANCE ATTACKS

The publishing industry is in decline. Some say it's because of changing market dynamics. Others say it's because of technological disruptions. But the truth is it's because they refuse to publish my lovely book of Heartwarming Stories for Children.
Bobby The Very Tall Squirrel Once upon a time, there lived a squirrel who was over 8 feet tall! His name was Bobby and his favourite food was hazelnuts. Unfortunately squirrels weren't meant to be 8 feet tall and, unsurprisingly, Bobby was unable to find enough food to sustain himself through winter. Bobby died in January, his existence a meaningless footnote in an uncaring universe (a fate that awaits us all). Other squirrels attended his funeral but did so out of courtesy and not because they particularly liked him. The End The Grateful Rabbits "Let's all count our blessings," said Kevin The Rabbit to all the other rabbits. "Let's take time to appreciate how lucky we are to have warrens to live in and grass to eat because some rabbits have nothing." All the other rabbits nodded in agreement and thanked their lucky stars that they had a home and just enough food to eat. Kevin The Rabbit, meanwhile, went home to his palatial warren, where he lived in luxury, thanks to being born into a rich rabbit family. He was pleased with himself after convincing all the other rabbits to be grateful for the basic amounts of shelter and sustenance they needed to survive. It distracted them from ever getting angry at rabbits like Kevin, who were living in luxurious warrens and hoarding obscence quantities of rabbit food. The End Princess Annabel Once upon a time, there lived a young girl named Annabel. "My dad says I can be anything I want when I grow up... even a princess!" said Annabel excitedly. "Sadly, Annabel, your dad is telling you an outdated fairytale," replied her teacher Miss Jennings. "Social mobility is at an all-time low and the ultra-rich are cosseted behind physical and social barriers. The chances of you becoming a princess are negligible. You'll probably work in middle management." The End Monsters Under The Bed? "Are there monsters under my bed, Daddy?" Sarah-Jane asked as her father tucked her into bed. "No, sweetie," he replied. "The world is full of terrifying monsters - and what makes them most frightening of all is how innocuous they appear. They look respectable, wear business suits, work in positions of power and effect public policy that destroys lives, vandalises the planet and ruins society, all while enriching themselves. These are the scariest monsters of all and they are everywhere. But probably not under your bed. Goodnight!" The End

Excited to announce that I have decided to become an events coordinator. My first event is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon 🤞
Public Meeting Regarding The Good Old Days A meeting will be held here tomorrow at 4:19pm to talk about the good old days. All are welcome. Attendees will be asked to reminisce about their memories of the good old days. If you cannot remember the good old days, you can still attend but you are not allowed to point out obvious historical and factual inaccuracies in people's reminiscences. No topic other than the good old days may be discussed, with the following topics being strictly off-limits: The bad old days The bad new days The good new days Anyone who raises one of these topics will be asked to leave and will not be recalled fondly during future discussions about the good old days. - SM Events Coordinator

For centuries, people have wondered if water is a good or bad thing. Now, thanks to data, we can finally make a definitive assessment
IS WATER A GOOD OR A BAD THING? Pros: - Makes baths more enjoyable - Quite useful for baptisms, I suppose Cons: - Facilitates 100% of shark attacks - Less delicious than apple juice - Culpable for the Titanic disaster CONCLUSION: As we can see, there are three cons and only two pros. This proves that water is a bad thing. This does not necessarily mean that we should get rid of all the water but we should certainly consider it if we are serious about reducing maritime disasters.
