PooterGeek On Ice
Yesterday I transferred from MPhil to PhD status at the Institute of Cancer Research, where I have been registered as a part-time PhD student since Michael Jackson was black. (I would love to be able to tell the story of my viva, but can’t.) One mad year of frenzied experimenting and writing from today I […]
Read MoreI Was A Teenage Satanist
You will not be surprised to read that I was into Dungeons and Dragons when I was at school. This Macromedia Flash film begins with a joke about D&D being the gateway to Satanism and then turns into such an accurate recreation of a typical game that I recommend you simply pass it by—unless you […]
Read MoreSlowly Dawning
People who kill deliberately innocent people to frighten other innocent people are terrorists. And even the French are beginning to understand.

I am not a fan of Ronald Reagan, the man who accidentally saved the World from communism, while contributing to the deaths of thousands in Nicaragua and to a hugely unpleasant recession in the United States. The unpleasantness of the latter was magnified by our having to listen to British rock critics wank on about […]

Again, thanks to Maoi. Have a smile at Engrish.com.
Read MoreHollywood: The Stupidity Continues
Courtesy of Maoi, another man who dresses up for a living gives the United States advice on how to conduct itself in the World and earns more column inches than most full-time scholars of international relations, just like this guy whose drivellings Judith drew my attention to last week. (This latter article is offset nicely […]

Someone called Demir Baser kindly emailed a bioinformatics mailing list at work over the weekend to let us poor scientists know that Darwin was wrong because Harun Yahya says so. Thanks, Harun. I can’t wait to read your other “works on Zionism and Freemasonry and their negative effects on world history and politics”. We misguided […]

Er, thanks for this, Maoi.
Read MoreWhy Humans Are Doomed To Extinction
This week, a friend of my office mate Jo was involved in an expensive and unpleasant four-car, low-speed pileup. This happened when the driver of the frontmost car braked suddenly to avoid running over a squirrel. (The reason there is no photo link attached to the name of this new character in the PooterGeek soap […]

Scroll down this page to see the new, sexy flat-panel speakers, available for your home cinema this month.

This year more Americans wanted to watch tall black people bounce a ball than wanted to watch short blonde people snog.

The Telegraph had the best Alastair Campbell “obituary” article I’ve read so far.
Read MoreOutstanding
I normally avoid linking to links from the ‘Blog Instapundit because you’ve already seen them, right? But this is an outstanding piece by anti-war writer Geoffrey Wheatcroft.
Read MoreI’ll Get My Coat
At the fancy-dress party, Damian, fancying himself somewhat in his sharply pressed, collarless Dr. Evil suit, asks one of the other guests if she’d be interested in, er, maybe, going for a drink some time. Her response isn’t entirely positive, but he can tell she is just playing hard-to-get from her body language. Update: for […]
