He kindly accompanied my rendition of Johnny B. Goode at the end of the night, at my local open mic. And he made it good! And he is a lovely bloke. Guitarist for Fairport Convention. But I previously didn't know quite WHAT an amazing guitarist he actually is.

His hair looks just like mine does when I don't get it cut for a while. (Usually when I'm engrossed in some project and don't bother with distractions - like haircuts. I wouldn't change my clothes, wash, leave the house, eat proper meals or go to bed if I had my way. Luckily I've got Mrs Legless who reminds me to do those things...)
But guys like this are the reason that, every time I wish America would just disappear up it's own arsehole and spare the rest of the planet, I realise that, if it did, we wouldn't have guys likes this.

A few years ago, I was looking for a birthday present for my good friend The Furry Dinosaur, and came across Klein Jars, the topological oddities he talks about here. I ordered an acme klein jar and it was shipped to me accompanied by a suitably eccentric packing list (Payment method: PayPal. Payment amount: $44.00. Number of Samurai in Kurasawa's best movie: 7) With a lovely handwritten note across it: "Smiles and Cheers, Tom! --Cliff Stoll" It was only then that I realised precisely who I'd ordered it from. The packing list is still on my wall to this day.
Cheers

You can buy them here handmade by Mr. Stoll himself, they make great gifts for people who have everything else.

This shows you are not as invisible as you think online. Earlier the Coast of Yamen posted this rather nasty link in the best of faith, which naturally caused a storm earlier today on youtube. I have never seen anything like it. Anyway, whilst the youtube video has quite obviously been removed and the account suspended, someone did a little detective work and found out who the person torturing the cat is:

c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/41/l_4999c456100145388e72cf47ff12b630.jpg
Given his now closed youtube account contained loads of racist filth as well, and he tortures animals, I am quite happy to link his identity. To quote someone in the link above, he must be shitting bricks. The detective work gleaning his identity in the link is more than impressive for a Sunday

and the police will get involved and have some serious words with his parents, and him. Given the cruelty demonstrated in both videos on that profile the guy actually needs some serious help. He tortured a cat, that's pretty unstable and deranged behavior, what if he takes it a step further and does the same with a child; and if not dealt with at this stage, be the next teenage gunman taking out a high school. Weirdly whilst typing this an email just hit my inbox:
Thank you for your compassion in contacting us regarding these disturbing videos. Rest assured that PETA is working closely with law enforcement officials to determine the exact location of these cats, secure their safety, and ensure that their abusers are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Please be advised, however, that some unethical people appear to be taking this opportunity to publicly accuse people in several different states, and that law enforcement is already investigating these allegations and has—so far—discovered no hard evidence to link these people to the videos. We strongly encourage you to allow PETA and the authorities to proceed, rather than contacting any alleged abusers directly. If you have first hand information or evidence about these videos, we implore you to contact local law enforcement immediately, as well as letting us know.
Sincerely,
The PETA staff

There was a comment in one of the thread on 4chan which summed it up for me:
'I've been around and had cats all my life, and even worked at an animal shelter for a few months. When a cat knows he's beat, he WON'T fight back, and will just sit there and wait for it to be over as quickly as possible. It's very sad. They only fight back when they know they have a chance to defend themselves or a chance to run. A housecat who knows there's nowhere to go will just stand there and take it knowing there's no escape. Even if you're gonna kill them, they just sit there and take it hopng it'll be over fast. You can even see it in the video. There's a point where the cat stops even trying to run and just waits for it.'
