A Great Flight Search Engine

You know how online flight searches should be awesome, but suck? I once phoned Travelocity to accuse them of the bait and switch because their 'cheapest flights' were never available or up to date.

But I think I may have found the holy grail (for European travellers) Sky Scanner. View the cheapest weekend flights, clickable graphs of flight prices over the month, a clickable map showing who flies where, on-the-fly price checking, and it searches all the cheap charter airlines—unheard of!

It even has an RSS feed of the latest cheap weekend breaks from your city of choice.

Now if only the Home Office would give me my passport back, I could go somewhere....

It's not racist to hate the Tories

The Tories have put up these billboards that just make you crave a bucket of red paint.

Hey, let's all go to the March for Freedom of Movement and the Right to Stay!

Vaccine for cat allergies

Those who know me know that my kryptonite is dander, that mystery spit-stuff that cats emit like a sneeze-inducing laser.

But it looks like some dudes have created a hybrid molecule that blocks cat allergies. Inject yourself with these half cat/half human molecules and say goodbye to your undesired histamine response!

They've tested it on mice that they made allergic to cats...hold on, they've already figured out how to genetically engineer allergic mice, but not non-allergic humans?

All destinations = gay

Hey everybody, These trains are gay and only go to King's X on a Batty day on as Wednesday or Saturday evening you are gay

ALL DESTINATIONS = GAY
ALL TRAINS = GAY
ALL YOU ARE = GAY
PROPER
AVE IT

ALL YOUR BABYS ARE BELONG TO JEESUS + ARE GAY
Everything about it—the resemblance to a genuine underground notice, the all your base are belong to us flavour, the rock-solid thesis/evidence/summary/closing structure, the clumsy attempt at offense, and the final misspelled WWJDesque/gay baby gesture—speechless.

RITE oops RIGHT


It's so cute—the street writer started writing LOOK RITE before realizing the mistake...hoping maybe no one will notice...

For Sale: Tunnelling Machine

Ever wonder where evil geniuses get their cool earth-tunnelling machines?

From my favourite industrial auction house.
