It's Hallowe'en soon. What'd be your fancy dress costume of choice?
Personally I want to build a working Transformers outfit out of cardboard. I'd change from shoddily-realised robot to half-arsed car!

Alt Q: The duck-billed platypus has fur, a beak, lays eggs, has a venomous sting and uses electro-location to find insects and fish. Is someone having a laugh?

I love the platypus
There's a Disney cartoon about a secret agent platypus, it's brilliant.

My costume will be a witch riding a monster, like those ostrich costumes where you put your legs through and it looks like the ostrich's legs? Make sense? At the moment I've only managed to sew the body of the monster and it's pink fur and tear drop shaped, so with the hole in the middle for my legs to go through it looks kind of like a giant pink vag.

I don't do Halloween
I was going to go to my first party ever, but now I can't.

We celebrate in Spain The Deaths Night, or something like that, on the 2nd of Novembe, and people goes to the cementeries and clean them, repaint the tombs and put flowers on them.

The Catholic church wants to stop Spaniards changing that for Halloween parties, so it's trying to start something new, asking people to dress as saints, rather than as scary things. I have the feeling it won't work.
