Some ye olde language spotted at the Sydney Morning Herald's website.
Poo-poo pouch
This clever copywriting combines both euphemism and the latest marketing research that shows how mothers respond to baby talk!
Mr Goatse
Call me puerile but I noticed that the Mr Bump figurine has a passing resemblance to a shock website and internet meme.
Not a joke
It's a bit mean putting a department for disabled people at the top of a flight of stairs, no?
Not UFO
I asked the BOM about the weird satellite pictures that were posted here and they replied:
Of course, they would write something like that. Wouldn't they? ;)
As you might be aware, Carnarvon radar is in the process of being upgraded. Refer:

After a month or so of construction etc, it was ready for testing last Wednesday. We shut off the display on the external web pages but kept the data flowing internally so that we could inspect the product. Radars need tuning before they are ready for general use. Unfortunately we did not turn off the contribution from Carnarvon to the national summary and that's what you saw on it - the untuned returns from Carnarvon radar.
Apologies for the inconvenience. We've adjusted our systems now so that the Carnarvon radar image data isn't available externally.

UFO?
Below are a series of weather satellite images that show an unusual pattern form and disperse. I know it's probably something simple like the bottom of some coffee cup on the monitor (;p) but it reminded me of these mysterious circles, so I thought I'd share.
Unstimulated
There's still a few days to go but I don't think I'll be collecting any money in the Federal Government's Stimulus Package as I didn't pay any tax last financial year.
This leads me to find it kinda ironic that the Rudd Government is being criticised for the delay in announcing paid parental leave because I took the financial year off to help at home after the birth of my second child.

Come see me at Federation Square this month
A few of my videos are on the BIG SCREEN at Federation Square each day from 2.30pm during May as part of the Notes From The Underground Program.
