Somehow, and I’m not sure how, I’m doing some research into this, I’ve got my top people on it – but somehow, I didn’t know that Spore was coming out now. It turns out it’s out and Duncan has his first impressions of the game on the nets already. That’s pretty exciting, it’s still listed as pre-order on EA’s site and Amazon, so you can’t get it yet, but it’s nearly here. I need to not buy it, it will suck up my entire life. Although, I suspect I will buy Spore Origins when it comes out for the iPhone. Anyhoo, no surprise, Duncan likes it after a day of playing.

In other realms, the Telegraph has brought to light a study on the amount of damage different breeds of dogs do to their households. (via) That’s right and you won’t guess which are the most destructive dogs, well you might guess that Great Danes are the most destructive, but you definitely won’t guess the second most destructive. Try it… imagine in your mind. Now go read the piece, you only have to read the first graf if you’re that lazy…. See? Told you you didn’t guess.

Ok. Deep breath. So in airports, you know… at this point you just know you don’t even mention the word bomb. Not quietly under your breath in the bathroom and certainly you don’t suggest that your bags checked onto a plane might have a bomb in it. Which is exactly what a high paid business consultant said while trying to get onto her plane. OMG. So as far as I understand, she was late for boarding her plane, the gangway had closed and when the agent said she couldn’t get on the consultant said, “What if I had a bomb in my bag? Well, I have a bomb in my bag, so are you guys going to turn the plane around cuz I need my bag.” Wow! Which caused the entire flight to divert to another place, have all passengers deboarded and all bags inspected. Happily she was finally fined $23,000, which I think is getting off pretty light for being such a freaking dickhead and causing who knows how much lost time to all those other passengers. Granted I’m not defender of the TSA and stupid policies, but really, you just know you can’t say bomb there. Man. Oh. Man.
