There was a little ad in the G2 section of The Guardian yesterday, so I took a quick piccie on the iPhone: I recognised the colours and obviously the whole staring at goats thing as to do with The Men Who Stare at Goats, an imminent film release based on a book by British journalist Jon Ronson. I checked out the stareatthegoat.com site out of interest, and guess what. Yep, it's a crazy, staring goat....

Explains EFF Senior Staff Attorney Corynne McSherry: "Free speech in the 21st century often depends on incorporating video clips and other content from various sources. It's what 'The Daily Show'...

Many years ago, when things were bleak and there was not much to look forward to, a friend of mine - a sensible woman with an eye for fashion and colonic irrigation, but otherwise full of common sense - gave me a birthday present that I was not expecting: an hour with a psychic. Now, this psychic did not reside in a tent at a fair, or in a caravan in a parking lot. She did not reside in a shady side-street...

Real 'bags don't buy Hardy knockoffs at Nordstrom. Real 'bags tattoo the Hardy Taint right on their chests. So that people at the Shady Palms Retirement Home in Coconut Grove in 2063 will wheelchair by him and think, "douche." Toothy hott brings the bleethy pirate niceties enough to fire up my loins and set my crotch afire with the combustion heat effect of a bad Uri Geller spoon bend. Yeah,...

First things first... The Good News: Most importantly, the Foster Bub finally came home from hospital yesterday. She looks amazingly well...it did occur to me that, as it was only Saturday when we last saw her, that maybe it was seeing her dressed in proper baby clothes and surounded by her own toys as opposed to machines and medical related hardware that made her LOOK so amazingly well...but hell....

I know, I know, he wants a bloody good benching, but I just don't think that this is the game to do it. Also, despite a certificate from the Sanity Commission that says otherwise - I am of sound mind when I say we don't have an impact sub like Defoe. So if things aren't going to plan when he is on, what do we do? Anyhoo, I showed you mine so let's have a butcher's at yours. My Uri Geller bet of the...

In 1994 I had written an article for Record Collector on the subject of the stranger side of my record collection. Back in the days of my well spent youth when you could happily wile away a whole Saturday record hunting up in London part of the fun was not just finding something really good but also maybe something really bad as well. (And by bad I don’t mean bad but actually genius). If it was...

If Uri Geller is the world's leading spoon-bender, then Derren Brown is surely its leading mind-bender; Britain's best answer to David Blaine , that doesn't end in a preposition. Last week the spookily self-assured brain tamperer, who once took a good couple of hours of TV viewers' lives to conspicuously and lengthily fail to take his own , decided to have a go at a less bullety game of chance, the...
