It’s best to know ahead of time and seek the proper training, don’t you think? One can’t be too careful when it comes to zombies.
Also, yes, I am being lazy today. After this past week, I have a gabillion things to catch up on so you shouldn’t expect anything original from me for a day or so. Quizzes, YouTubes, Random Thoughts. And Zombies. We’re all about the zombies lately.

Well, I knew this about Canadian beer, but never about Canadian flour.
Apparently, our four is so strong it comes with a warning. This brings up several questions:
Or, much as our booze cautions apply largely to American tourists, do these warnings only apply to the British?
The scientific background, from inkycircus:
see the flour milled from wheat grown here in the UK is weak, meaning it is low in the protein gluten… all in all, lots of gluten makes for a good loaf. and the wheat comin’ outta the canadian breadbasket (our prairie provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba) is STRONG.

Unless the “IAUP VIOLATOR” title is one they wear proudly.
Test it yourself: go to reddit.com and look at the header image. Instead of its usual friendly, literate alien, you’ve got a couple of incestuous-looking aliens with some rather emphatic text above them. IAUP, by the way, stands for Internet Acceptable Use Policy. The hacked image is meant to imply that reddit does not abide by basic internet standards.
Is anyone taking credit for this yet? Leave your breadcrumbs in the comments section, please!
UPDATE: reddit be not hackt. Reddit be self-mocking. This is an improvement; now if we could only get them to stop lol-ing and get fixing things.

Sometimes it can be hard to tell the change agents from the uncle toms. Like with Squiddy here…

In the annals (yes, there are two N’s in that, even if you’re discussing celebritybuttplugs.com) of celebrity endorsements, there are many cautionary tales. Think “Babe for Baco’s!” Think “Michael Jackson for Match.com.” We may be looking at the latest victim of bad synergy.
Say hello to the face of stinky cheese:
That’s Cat Deeley. Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of her: she’s a British celebrity. Nobody expects you to have heard of her. Well, at least she WILL be the face of cheese, if the Stilton Perfume people have their way.
Yes, I said Stilton Perfume.
Nigel White, of the SCA, brushed off suggestions that it might not be the most alluring of scents.
“Blue Stilton cheese has a very distinctive, mellow aroma and our perfumier was able to capture the key essence of that scent and recreate it in what is an unusual but highly wearable perfume,” he said.
“While we don’t have quite as generous a budget as some of her other endorsements, we would love Miss Deeley to be the face of Eau de Stilton and look forward to hearing what she thinks of the scent.”
