Stumbleupon Review of :

I went to buy a watch, and the man in the shop said "Analogue." I said "No, just a watch."

And lo! It came to pass that StumbleUpon was invaded by an army of cartoon spam-bots.
And verily, such was the cunning of the bot writer that all were fooled into thinking they were genuine reviews.
Not even noticing that all the reviews were the same, and written in 'Spammer English'. That strangest of dialects where a spammer tries to write in the manner that they think (and I use the word advisedly) a 'normal' person would, but due to having actually failed every IQ test they've ever taken, sounding rather more like they've got their copy written by a passing-out drunk, late-stage syphilitic Albanian goatherd. A goatherd who had previously not even heard of electricity, never mind the Internets. This, prior to taking that base copy, and running it through several computer translation programs, before having the final edits made by a forum full of 13 year old MySpacers high on crystal sherbet.
Nope, congratulations Spammy McSpammer. You are fooling everyone.
Not.
To me, the first fragile snowdrops are the real new year, not some arbitrary date in the middle of Winter, mechanically dividing days like digits. It's gradual, sneaks up unnoticed; one day you go out, all unsuspecting, and it's there! Waiting for you: fresh, new, among the mulch of last Autumn's colours.

So thus, I guess (I guess - I guess), another year slides seamlessly into the half-light of what's past. To be half-remembered, half-forgotten and half-confused with all those others that also have so easily been lost.

an online group have pledged to swarm supermarkets and buy out their supply of carrots in one day in a bizarre mission labeled "impossible" by vegetable growers."

Loch Ard -- the water was kinda high
Nice example of Drupal theming.
Done in 5 days just to show what sort of things are possible.

Five questions Benn insists should be asked of any powerful person:
- What power have you got?
- Where did you get it from?
- In whose interests do you use it?
- To whom are you accountable?
- How do we get rid of you?
