I say the word cunt way too much now. I have Sexy Beast and my friends to blame for that.
I'm a bit bored of fuck, though. I think everyone (including me) says it too often, it's lost it's impact. Fuck off just sounds.. boring now. I prefer Cock Off. It's different enough to raise attention.

'Algorithm' is a fantastic word. Being able to use the word algorithm often is one of the major benefits of being a computer scientist.
Irish and French words are more satisfying than most Engish ones, though.

cristian and i went to a restaurant in wellington, new zealand, called axolotl. it had some in a tank inside. i suppose we should have guessed that might be the case but there werent many options. the presence of an axolotl doesnt exactly make for a convivial dining experience.

she was telling the truth!
Axolotls have some quite amazing differences to any other amphibian, the most visibly obvious is that they are almost always seen in their larval stage. Under normal circumstances the Axolotl never (or rarely) actually goes through final metamorphosis, this phenomenon is known as neoteny. Axolotl are totally aquatic and breathe through external gills which are the frilly organs at each side of the head, they do rarely finally change in to a land living or semi aquatic amphibian which resemble the Tiger Salamander but in nature such occurrences are rare. Although living their entire life in the larval stage the Axolotl is still able to breed as they reach sexual maturity whilst still at this stage in development. Axolotls can be forced through the metamorphic change with the growth hormone thyroxin, this triggers off a change which usually takes a few weeks to fully complete. During this time the external gills are reabsorbed in to the main body, the lungs develop more and their eyes become more amphibian looking (pop out) and develop eyelids.
Another, and more interesting Axolotl ability, is that they can completely regenerate damaged or missing body parts and even grow new eyes if they get damaged. This is one of the reasons that extensive research is being done on Axolotl, hopefully some day science may be able to unfold the mystery of this ability for us humans. An interesting point here is that as soon as an Axolotl undergoes metamorphosis either natural or induced, the ability to regenerate body parts is lost.

ha ha! i just found that picture too.
admittedly on that evidence, axolotls are sweet.
but these ones in NZ werent. they were mangy old albinos. i think they eat rotting flesh as well. they only reach larval stage. there's something really creepy about them. imagine being in a tank with loads of them, all thrashing about and sliming all over you. oh i feel quite sick now.

Having trawled through the google search for axoltl i can report that quite a lot of axolotls look like dead men's winkys.
hear you on that frog thing- in fact i don' tlike any animal's without eyes- although will eat most of them if cooked well enough.

I'm with you there mate! I say cunt far too much too! Our lass has recently started kicking off with me quite a bit cos shes not the greatest lover of the word and I use it relentlessly. Even when I yawn I tend to come out with "Ahhhhhh, YOUR ALL CUNTS!!" Do you know what I mean about that? Does anyone else yawn and either make a noise with it or actually say something or is it just me being weird again!?

But now it cames here in germany that all tekknomusic wich sounds a bit harder, is called "SCHRANZ"!!! And it's every weekend the same shit: Everywhere I went to play records, everyone comes and say "Hey, do you got "SCHRANZ", can you play "SCHRANZ", I only like "SCHRANZ". I CAN'T HEAR THIS SHIT ANYMORE - I think "SCHRANZ" should be banned.
