Best analogy ever?
Hey dudettes,
I don’t normally look at sites like lamebook but I saw a link to this on a friend’s facebook profile and couldn’t resist sharing!
Enjoy.
Which one kills more?
After once again trying to avoid revision by being on Facebook, I noticed this like posted by one of my friends:
Word Of Warcraft Totally Looks Like Swine Flu
As much as this made me chuckle, it was one of the comments below the picture that said ‘WoW probably kills more people’
I have actually thought about this, and it could well be true. There are have been a number of reported murders and things about people who were aggrieved by something that happened in an MMO.
So the question is: which has claimed more lives, MMO’s in general or swine flu which has been another ‘we’re all going to die!!!’ disease that no one ever catches.
Hmm, the answer to that could be interesting in a sick sort of way…

Swansea: Britain’s student holiday camp.
Lately I’ve been doing a lot of walking around Swansea for various reasons (mostly girlfriend related if I am honest).
The one thing that I have noticed that living in Swansea is a lot like being on holiday, but not in the way you may be thinking…
Firstly, I have noticed that just like in most foreign tourist areas everyone seems to be talking English the same as you, yet you still have a hard time discerning any sort of meaning from what they are saying. Now this isn’t an attack on the intelligence or any aspect of the local inhabitants of Swansea, there are a many great people in Swansea. This is just what I have experienced in my time staying here.
Secondly, just like France and Spain, every car you see has at least a nice scuff on it. That is, at least. Quite a few have a nice big chunk out of them or are fitted with exhausts so over-sized, the extra metal makes up for the metal missing from some panel of the car. Why not bash it up on the way out of the showroom to just get it over with?
Again, just like Europe, everything here used to be cheap, but just isn’t anymore. Damn economy and rise of the Euro!
A pretty obvious one for foreign countries, but not so much for Swansea. There are lots and lots of foreign people here. I’m not the type of person that thinks Britain should close it’s gates to everyone and not let anyone in, in factI think Britain’s cultural diversity is one of it’s plus points. Its just that when I moved here, I guess I was just a little surprised by all of the people from different backgrounds who all live so close together. I suppose, that comes with the university territory.
Lastly, and most obviously, the access to a beach.
In contrast to being on holiday, I don’t often go on holiday to places where it rains 99% of the time…
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. In every post from now I will include a strikethrough’d statement. (The last statement, if you couldn’t guess, was a lie and a joke.)
Social networking gone mad?
Just a quick one before I go to bed to get up to travel to Kettering…
Guess who has started their own social networking site. Bill Gates? No. Steve Jobs? No. Google? No and more no.
Its…
