Re: Fun from the Net!
In the Pogo strip, it was used as a pun on kholrabi. Hmmm. More research is indicated.
It's flavored with passionfruit
an appropriate ingredient, don't you think?

Re: Fun from the Net!
For people who like to outline their plots (I loosely do this) I found this interesting site called http://www.bubble-mind.com/
I'm using it to outline the next part of my fic and I'm really enjoying the format.

Re: Fun from the Net!
Following on from my previous post, I was trawling the net looking for some quotes when I cam across the following URL. I thought I'd post it for y'all (well, I thought it was funny)
Captain Archer and the holy grail.
EDIT: If you have trouble seeing it all (you get a horizontal scroll bar) then copy it into word or somesuch, as this will wrap it to page size.

Powerful binoculars and swift feet.

And a bat'leth. Don't forget the bat'leth - the all-purpose weapon of choice.

Re: Fun from the Net!
There is no way you're gonna break into a safe with a bat'leth. Sorry, but it's just not plausible (or practical)
Mind you, methinks that if the idiots in my vid had managed to get a good shot on the safe with the training rounds, they'd have got it easy. TRY HARDER!!!

Re: Fun from the Net!
Here's Harvard's Implicit Association test.
Do you associate men or women more or less with sciences?
Do you associate blacks or whites more or less with crime?
Do you have a preference for 'old' versus 'young'?
These questions and many other equally uncomfortable ones can be embarrassingly determined for you via their simple and fun tests!

(I read about this in In Praise of Slow by Carl Honore. Great book!)
