I’m the Quote of The Day on the front page of h2g2 today!

Here’s a link to today’s front page (so the quote will be different tomorrow) and here’s a link to the conversation thread.

Okay, probably not the most quotable thing I’ve ever said but on the other hand I got way more than fifteen minutes. πŸ™‚

I love this programme.

And I’m also slightly in lust with Hugh Laurie – who’d have thunk that Bertie Wooster had such a gritty & sexy side to him? Add to that a great supporting cast, excellent snappy & intelligent dialogue and Bryan Singer as executive producer and you get totally compelling television … not something that happens very often.

which flame warrior are you?

I love this site – Flame Warriors.

I’d say Big Cat is the closest to my online personality, albeit not entirely accurate.

Big Cat would rather not fight…he enjoys peacefully observing forum conversations and laconically participates when the moods strikes. He playfully chases interesting threads, and from time to time uses a Newbie or Propellerhead as a convenient scratching post. He enjoys being stroked or petted, and tends to purr loudly. CAUTION: Don’t be fooled by his fuzzy, playful exterior. When provoked, Big Cat reacts with lightning speed and almost always lands on his feet after an attack. Big Cat often indulges himself by toying with his victim before delivering his lethal blows.

So which Flame Warrior are you and how close do you think your online personality is to your real life one? It’s curious how many people think they know you from reading what you’ve chosen to write on a public website. Weird.

I’ve ‘met’ quite a few of these Flame Warriors (or variations thereof) since becoming involved in internet forums and personal experience compels me to caution . . . beware The Sycophant!

Circumcision helps prevent HIV infection

All well and good until …

“This is an extraordinary development,” said Dr. Kevin de Cock, director of the World Health Organization’s AIDS department. “Circumcision is the most potent intervention in HIV prevention that has been described”.
