I feel asleep somewhere between the first and second showings of Hollyoaks last night, woke up on the couch in that confused sleepy state so took myself straight to bed. Then at 12 I woke up in really bad pain, I get these kinds of pains every month or soo and it lasts a couple of days. Ibupiriphame cream and hot water bottles are the only things that touch it, not even the morphine or methadone does it (it's the wrong kind of pain or something like that).
I then eventually crash out 'till about 3:15, where I woke up and they were talking about ghosts on the radio, how there was a girl who had a few haunted experiances. So naturally, in my dazzed state, every single pipe and floorboard creeking and ratling was down to the ghost of where I live.... The building was made in 18:51, and was a fire-station at one point, so naturally it's haunted by a victorian station master who's wife and children died in a fire, and he was so distrort that he hanged himself, and his ghost lingers on. This was 100% true and lodgical in my head at the time. 3:15 is important too, because that is "The Witching Hour" according to some horror film.
I then crashed out about 30 minutes later until 7ish, took another shedload of painkillers, and hope they last a long time, the hot water bottle is helping though.

Everyone here has something interesting, or at least, something they think is interesting. Let's use this thread to expand our minds and spread knowledge of interesting things.
There is a video here, it's a disney video, but explains something called The Golden Ratio; something discovered by the greeks around the time of Pythagorious.

It's a pattern that shows up throughout nature, music, archetecture and design even to this day (for example, facebook's new album-view follows it, when you have a big picture on the left and two smaller ones on the side). It's also used a tiny bit inside the new version of Windows (Windows Phone 7 / Windows 8) with their 'metro UI'. But it expands to architecture and nature too, such as the spirals on a shell, or most greek structures.
I find it amazing that such a simple theory can be produced on so many levels, the video explains it in a way that I can't, but I found it extremely interesting.

not a proud claim on a Saturday, especially as I've been awake for over an hour. I plan to offset this by spending all day in bed with a lap top watching crappy movies and eating biscuits.

Tuneage and that. Jeff is in the pub so I can quite happily accuse him of quendophilia.
Now- a slight theme for maybe the first few tracks- bands that others may be surprised that you like.
First up-
www.youtube.com/watch?v=gd3C9aAupQI
Manic Street Preachers. From The Holy Bible. An astounding album, nobody thought they had it in them to deliver on their promise and convert pretension to perfection.
It's a horrible album- jagged, acidic and hateful, but shot through with such dark humanity and humour that it truly becomes, as one critic once said, 'a triumph of art over logic'. This is the opening track, and has a very sweary word in the first line.
