That's a scientist for ya. He thinks there are only 13 things in this world that do not make sense. He obviously doesn't read as widely as I do.
The New Scientist, on 13 things that do not make sense. Bonus points if you've actually heard of all these things; you're pre-confused, and thus ahead of the rest of us.

How much damn stuff do you put on here every day? Don’t you ever just wanna chill out and go to the pub?

You can tell when I’m busy/soused because all you get is Youtube and stuff from the archives. Don’t trust myself to be original then.
As for the instruction thing, litlove, I’m going to do some instructions for at least a WordPress blog. I shall try to put the first ones up today, even though Steven has asked me to get a life.
There, I hope he feels right guilty. Click on “professor raincoaster’s little lectures” in the Categories in the sidebar to learn all about WordPress blogging.
