Rainy Day Faucets
Nov. 9th, 2005 05:45 amIt was just a few weeks ago that I remarked that people 50 years from now will wonder why the hell we had to put LEDs in everything we own. Presenting the Faucet Light! This would actually be mildly useful for getting a drink in the dark, I suppose, although most people can judge the fullness of the glass by the sound.

When Flaster is lying down, I can place stacks of coins in front of him. He'll look at them for a second, then give them a little push with his paw, just enough to make them fall over. If I start stacking coins on top of him, though, he immediately gets up and moves.

I got Viagra spam from "Randy N. Long" and "Roger R. Goode". Someone's amusing himself :)

So, Charles and Camilla are going back home. If you Brits decide you don't want 'em, we'd be happy to take 'em :)

The supermarket where I shop turns off the elevator music late at night, and they play whatever the nightcrew happens to fancy, and at a respectable volume. Usually it's top 40, but the other night I was shopping, and they were playing what sounded like some sort of horror movie soundtrack. Just as I'd selected a package of meat - Dunh-Dunh-DUHHHHHH!!! I went with the moment, put that one back, and picked out a different one :)

The ESA venus probe is safely on its way. Oddly, the BBC keeps calling the launcher a "Soyuz". I always heard that rocket called either an R-7 or (with the long second stage) an SL-4. "Soyuz", I thought, was just the capsule. Websites prove unhelpful. Does anyone know very much about Russian space equipment and nomenclature?
