Shit, man, I’m gonna be late for work again. That’s the fifth time this week, and it’s only Tuesday, man.
I’ve always had a soft spot for that movie. It’s really bad. Really, really bad. But it makes me laugh.

Only in Japan: the kitkat sandwich
It is safe to say that the KitKat has well and truly established itself in Japanese culture. Nestlé has produced over 200 special edition flavors of the chocolate bar since 2000, which include gems such as creme brulée, ginger ale, cherry blossom, melon, soy sauce, baked potato, blueberry cheesecake, strawberry cheesecake, apple, pumpkin, brandy & orange, red bean paste, apricot seed, choco-banana, peach, fruit parfait, pear, mango, lemon, yuzu, salty watermelon, muscat grape, rum & raisin, cinnamon, apple vinegar, sports drink, pineapple, kiwi, caramel, maple, chestnut, edamame, purple sweet potato, french rock salt, wasabi, hot Japanese chili, creamy English tea, jasmine tea and green tea flavours. The newest addition to Japan’s seemingly endless list of KitKat creativity is the KitKat sandwich.
First Kitchen, a fast food franchise in Japan, are selling KitKats covered in whipped cream and orange peel sandwiched between two slices of white bread. The KitKats used aren’t your ordinary bars either. The sandwiches use ‘KitKat for Cafe’, which are apparently more robust bars designed specifically for dipping in hot drinks, to make the sandwiches more crispy. (Side note: WANT!!!) The sandwich is only 220 yen (£1.23) and despite sounding like something only a desperate university student would cook up, has been praised by those brave enough to try it.
Living dolls
Valeria Lukyanova is a Moldovan-Ukrainian model and entertainer, notable for her resemblance to a Barbie doll, with several sources describing her as, among other handles, a “real-life Barbie doll” and “human Barbie”.To enhance the effect Lukyanova uses makeup and contact lenses over her naturally green eyes. She has stated that she has had breast implants, but that the rest of her body is completely natural and slender due to daily gym workouts and a special liquid diet.
Anastasiya Shpagina, a 19-year-old Ukrainian woman, has brightly colored hair, pale skin and a doe-eyed stare that could be mistaken for an actual cartoon. The living anime character has even adopted a Japanese name – Fukkacumi. Shpagina, who is just 5ft2ins tall, is already reported to have slimmed down to just over six stone in her attempts to resemble a living anime character, and is said to spend 30 minutes painstakingly applying her dramatic make-up to each one of her eyes.
First day of spring AND full solar eclipse
The Friday solar eclipse took place on the March equinox, kicking off the spring season in the Northern Hemisphere and fall in the south. The next March equinox eclipse won’t happen for another 19 years. The eclipse also happened to occur during a supermoon (when the moon is closest to Earth in its orbit), but the moon was in its new phase and a large dark disk during the eclipse.
Or was that the moon?
Bad joke of the day
I guess I missed the “It’s a dystopian future, Charlie Brown!” special
This is just a passing phase, one of my bad days.
Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man.
Night after night, we pretend its all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum.
Bank of Canada asks Star Trek fans to stop ‘Spocking’ the 5$ bill
Bank of Canada is pleading with Star Trek fans to stop “Spocking” its five dollar bills. Since Leonard Nimoy’s death, Canadian folks have been “Spocking” the hell out of the five dollar bill that features a portrait of Canada’s seventh prime minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Sir Wilfrid now sports, on certain bills at least, pointy ears, the signature Vulcan haircut and eyebrows and Spock’s mantra “Live long and prosper.”
According to Bank of Canada it’s not illegal to do this but:
“…However, there are important reasons why it should not be done. Writing on a bank note may interfere with the security features and reduces its lifespan. Markings on a note may also prevent it from being accepted in a transaction. Furthermore, the Bank of Canada feels that writing and markings on bank notes are inappropriate as they are a symbol of our country and a source of national pride.”
