Silly Picture Special

I was tidying through my old web space and found a load of silly pictures I made a few years ago.
Oh the joys of Photoshop! ;-)




Watch out Cylons, Commander Abadger is coming for you!



Fear the punnage...it's OBE Wan Kenobi!

More punnage...can you guess what it is yet?
...Jack Straw!

Fools!

Yes, it's April Fools Day, so keep your eyes peeled for deception.

So far, I've only spotted five website April Fools (although this may just mean I've fallen for the others I've looked at).

World of Warcraft's website has announced a new character class that fights enemies using the power of ROCK. Get your gullibility guitars strapped on and check it out HERE. This April Fools gag goes to eleven!

But it doesn't stop there...those generous folks at Blizzard Software have provided a second April Fools hoax as well - Molten Core, Spectrum style.

The BBC have also done an April Fools Day piece - witness the fabled Flying Penguins who migrate to tropical climes:

Two more April Fools include RyanAir's saucy offering - http://www.ryanbare.com and WestJet, who announced they were going to turn the overhead baggage storage into sleeping spaces for business customers:



And this one from Virgle, an unholy union between Virgin and Google that offers you the chance to start a new colony on a distant world!

If you've spotted any other April Fools gags on the Interweb, let me know!

Atheist in New York

Whilst reading a topic over on the Richard Dawkins forum, about Richard's description of himself as a "cultural Christian", and having recently read several articles about the power of Christian fundamentalism in the US, I got the line "I'm a Christian, I'm a cultural Christian" (sung to the tune of "I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien" from Sting's "Englishman in New York") stuck in my head, temporarily knocking out the chorus from Mel & Kim's "Respectable" that has been lodged there since 1987.

After a few days of that, I decided the only way to get it out would be to write the whole song, so I did, and here it is:

I don't drink nonsense I take facts my dear
I like my brain to remain unfried
And you can hear it in my logic when I talk
I'm an Atheist in New York

See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A God Delusion here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Atheist in New York

I'm an alien I'm a rational alien
I'm an Atheist in New York
I'm an atheist but I'm a cultural Christian
I'm an Atheist in New York


Now I've got Mel and Kim back in my head again... I ain't ever gonna be respectable! (Respectable)
