			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A seahorse walks into a bar.</p>
<p><strong>Part 1</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Why the long face?&#8221; asks the barman.</p>
<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t be a twat,&#8221; replies the seahorse.</p>
<p><strong>Part 2</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;How did you <em>walk</em> into the bar? You&#8217;re aquatic,&#8221; says the barman.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll f*cking show you aquatic,&#8221; shouts the seahorse, and stabs him.</p>
<p><strong>Part 3</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s go over this one more time. Why did you stab him?&#8221; asks the policeman.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not saying anything else until my lawyer gets here,&#8221; states the seahorse.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apart from Colossal Squid, I am also a huge fan of Airwolf, and have long been an advocate of the use of <a href="http://daveslongbox.blogspot.com/2005/09/airwolf-adjective.html">Airwolf as an adjective</a> (RIP Young Dave).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/198/4480/640/totally%20airwolf%203.jpg" alt="Your Powerpoint presentation was Airwolf" width="497" height="252" /></p>
<p>Unfortunately that just didn&#8217;t fit with WFP&#8217;s corporate vision, the losers, so I survived in the Airwolf underground for years. However it may not be possible to conceal my true allegiance for much longer, as I am about to place a bid on <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Airwolf-Helicopter-Replica_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ18836QQihZ014QQitemZ330234658865QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW#ebayphotohosting">a full-size Airwolf Replica</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>The full size Airwolf replica was made with an existing Bell 222A airframe. The side panels, nose panel and refueling port were all made from the specs from the original Airwolf and are exact. The ADF pod and chainguns are not included in this auction, but will be available if anyone is interested.</p></blockquote>
<p>You&#8217;re damn right I&#8217;m interested in the chainguns. For all those pundits wringing their hands about what can be done to help the people of Burma, the answer is a single word &#8211; Airwolf.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether you find Overcoming Bias&#8217; <a href="http://www.overcomingbias.com/2008/04/zombie-movie.html">Zombies: The Movie</a> at all funny will depend on your answers to the following questions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Do <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088993/">zombie movies</a> rule?</li>
<li>Are <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia">qualia</a> meaningful?</li>
</ul>
<p>If you answer yes to both of the above, then click through. Bonus geek laffs:</p>
<blockquote><p>Only at a <em>combination </em>science fiction and open-source convention would it be possible to attend a session on knife-throwing, cry &#8220;In the name of Bayes, die!&#8221;, throw the knife, and then have a fellow holding a wooden shield say, &#8220;Yes, but how do you determine the prior for where the knife hits?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
