This is a really handy java applet for either working out the type of poem you may be attempting to work out or for those of you who write poetry and want to stick to closed forms like the sonnet. It counts the syllables for you and will also tell you what rhyming scheme you've used.
Incredibly useful for poets and critics alike.
You could also use it for ensuring your obscene limericks scan properly.

Now I'm considering if the government could tax poetry. Perhaps it could work rather like the window tax back in the 18th century....
TS Elliot would have been fucked.
Haiku writers would be laughing - especially if there was a personal allowance.
This all sounds terribly 1984ish.
It could work.

You could probably try doing so by holding onto something above your head (like a chin up bar) but that's a lot of effort. Also, you may need at least one free hand to guide the foot in accurately.
It would be a good idea, prior to changing feet, to wash the one that's not already in the mouth. You've probably been hopping around the office on that foot for some time, so it'll be quite sweaty and dirty. It you've still got shoes on, then it's especially important to think about cleaning. Think of all the nasty stuff, like dog do, that'll be on them. Yuck.

Was a bit foolhardy with that ad - what were they thinking. Still good to see they allowed the comments up and didn't cull the more negative ones...
I still find it insane the MPG US cars get. I drive an 11 year old car, a fairly big one at that, with a 2 litre engine and STILL get 40 to 45 mpg - my dad has the same car but the diesel version and gets 65 mpg on the motorway! This is a bog standard Rover 400 - nothing fancy. So why can't they produce something similar in the US? Is it that much cheaper to build an inefficent car? Even the Prius advertises 65 but only really delivers 55 mpg... it's madness!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_per_gallon
"Note that because the imperial gallon is significantly larger than the U.S. gallon, MPG figures are 20.095% higher in the UK than in the U.S. for the same real fuel economy."

They wouldn't have any comments at all. You'd think they'd lace them with comments from Chrysler employees or something. Maybe they hate themselves too.

Trance isnt usually my thing, well it used to be, but have drifted into producing electro and hardly ever listen to trance anymore. Downloaded the fabio stein year mix and was blown away by some of the tech trance from 2008. Awesome, awesome stuff so looking forward to this.
Let me know if you want the fabio stein year mix and I'll send you a link...

Yeah I certainly don't listen to Trance all of the time, I prefer allot of the uplifting progressive house to be honest, with nice vocals in. But as the station is a Trance station I have to mix within limits.
I'd love to have a link to that fabio stein mix and grab a copy of it :D and I hope you enjoy the set.

Still can't believe what happened yesterday - only 46 years since Martin Luther King did his "I Have A Dream" speech, Barry O stood in the same place to take his place. Incredible. Well done America, the rest of the world let out a collective sigh of relief. Anyway, I cobbled this together.
If you are expecting more Aretha stuff, you'll be disappointed.. although I did want to animate the huge bow on her hat spinning round, and her taking off like a big fat helicopter as everyone waved - but I lack the skills needed.

The Battle of Hastings was the world's first rolling news event, documented and reported in the cutting-edge medium of sewing by dead French ladies. However, nobody does sewing these days, so it is high time the whole affair was retold in a language today's modern youth will understand: Txt spk and TOP LOLZ.
