TGIF:

An explorer in the deepest Amazon suddenly finds himself
surrounded by a bloodthirsty group of natives. Upon
surveying the situation, he says quietly to himself, "Oh God,
I'm screwed."

There is a ray of light from the sky above and a voice booms
out: "No, you are NOT screwed. Pick up that stone at your
feet and bash in the head of the chief standing in front of you."

So the explorer picks up the stone and proceeds to bash the
life out of the chief. He stands above the lifeless body, breathing
heavily and surrounded by 100 natives with a look of shock on
their faces.

The voice booms out again: "Okay . . . . NOW you're screwed."

LEGO STAR WARS TRILOGY - yeah, this really is what you think it is. Some enterprising soul has photographed the entire trilogy using Lego. That concept alone is impressive but there are also a few amusing touches such as the photo caption for the dogfight following our heroes' escape from the Death Star "..300 bonus points. You've cleared the first stage."

The four word film review - does exactly what it says in the tin. Films are reviewed in 4 words or less - the results are hilarious (recent comment on "It's a Wonderul Life" - "Just jump already, George!")

Fluey feeling could be post-orgasmic syndrome

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Tired and sweaty after sex? A Dutch doctor says he is studying a rare new syndrome among middle-aged men who complain of flu-like symptoms for up to a week after having an orgasm.

Marcel Waldinger, head of the department of psychiatry and neurosexology at Leyenburg Hospital in the Hague, said he planned to publish a report on "post-orgasmic illness syndrome" in the U.S. Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy this month.

Waldinger has seen five Dutch men in as many years in his surgery complaining of a range of flu-like symptoms, including a sore throat, sweating, extreme fatigue and eye irritation after sex.

"Men developed influenza-like symptoms within minutes of having an orgasm. It is like having a serious flu. This happens as soon as they have an orgasm," said Waldinger on Friday.

"It is a new syndrome or a syndrome which is old but has not been looked at properly."

The syndrome could be a physical disorder caused by an allergic reaction or the immune system in direct response to the release of chemicals in the body after sex. The symptoms lasted between three and seven days, he said.

"We know that during orgasm and ejaculation very specific compounds like hormones are released into the nervous system. One hypothesis is that they might have had an allergic reaction to one of those compounds," Waldinger said.

Quote of the day (heard on over the PA system on particularly bad commute): "We'd like to apologise for the crowded condition of your train today. This was owing to the previous train breaking down. We'd also like to assure you that as soon as we identify the member of staff responsible for this, he will be shot as an example to the others not to mess with your service."

Still alive, just knackered after an Easter break spent redecorating - yeah I'm "Tired and Emulsional". Normal services (ie. the hunt for deranged web sites) will be resumed as soon as possible
