BOOYEEAAAHHHH!!

We were just cleaning one of the cabinets in the kitchen, specifically to try to find the lost lid to a small slow cooker. We found, at the very back of one of our cabinets, a machete. We have no idea where this can from, who it belongs to, or why it is in a kitchen cabinet.

Don't delete them, move them to toppr or pooppr.

I give it 50-50 odds that thing is enchanted ... Or a murder weapon.

The rusty shovel I found in my shed when I bought my house has thus far not manifested any magical properties.

Did you find a body in your yard then?

This reminds me of when I was up in the loft/attic of our current residence for the first time. Carefully tucked away, seemingly untouched for quite some time, lays an aged and eerie black and white photograph of a baby. It's a little unnerving. Face-on. Expressionless. The landlord knows nothing about it. Neither the previous tenant. I assume it's from the original owners. Or the ghost realm. I left it undisturbed!

That is significantly less scary than an old black-and-white photo of a baby with its face off.

Well, depending on how old it is, it is possible it is a post-mortem photograph.

Just helping.

It's probably best if you salt and burn the photo. Release the spirit and I think you can claim it on your taxes?

When we bought our house in 2008, the attic had been converted into a kid's bedroom. This is a split-level house, so there was a crawlspace along the back wall. The first time I went into the crawlspace, I found:
* Rat poison
* A crucifix
* A virgin Mary statuette
* A disembodied doll head, hairless
* Several pictures of Sting, carefully hidden just inside the door so you could only see them from inside

I'm sure that all of those things were used together, somehow.

Apparently a 393 year old shark was found swimming around minding its own business. I'm not sure how they know it is 393 instead of 394 or 289 or whatever. Maybe they stuck their heads in its mouth and counted its teeth. Does a 393 year old shark even have teeth? Can it see anything? So many questions.

They're like trees. You count the rings. Here is a young shark for comparison.

OH DAD!!

When one of my best friends was rebuilding part of the house he had just bought, he found a huge bag of weed in the false ceiling. Unfortunately, it was spoiled already (or whatever one calls weed that's gone bad).

Doot doo doodoot doodoo?

I still can't get over the fact that there is a breakfast cereal.

I don’t know why. If kids are into it, there’s a good chance it’ll have a breakfast cereal.

I really, really want to try and get into Planet Coaster, but compared to Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, it just feels totally impenetrable to someone playing casually like me, whereas with RCT3, even after YEARS of not playing, I can hop back in and have a functional park set up in about 30 minutes.

That's a shame. Planet Coaster really is a fun game.

I'm setting about installing a cat flap for Flynn. 'Step one: before installation check the cat flap will link to your cat's micro chip.' Flynn came into the room as I was reading the instructions whilst holding the catflap. "I'm going to have to sync this to your microchip." I told him. The look of mild alarm he gave me combined with the must uncertain meow I've ever heard was quite funny.

You have to press a button on the cat flap then put you cats head inside 'the tunnel' during a 60 second time window. I'd foolishly left the back door open when I initiated the 60 seconds so I had to run down the garden after him and then unceremoniously plonk it over his head. I heard a click and presumed the syncing had happened.

It was at this stage that I though to put a few dried cat pellets in 'the tunnel' to tempt him in. As soon as he put his head in I heard a click and I could push the door open. Step one is a success but, in my haste, I may have set cat flap training back a few weeks (he was happy and playing a minute or two after being accosted by his cat flap wielding owner.)

I'm really tired ya'll.

I've posted a lot of sh*t and bad takes on this site, but this might be the most embarrassing.

I wish the bathrooms at work were cleaner. And air conditioned. If the gender neutral bathrooms had a urinal in addition to a commode would there still be an ever present puddle of piss at the base of the toilet?

Coffee should be kept in a coffee cup. Don't put coffee on or in your keyboard. Don't put coffee over your camera and music player. Keep coffee in coffee cup and out of your lap. The floor also doesn't like coffee.

Man I wish I bought a spar keyboard. Of wait my pi kit came with keyboard. Totally forgot about that. Okay I guess I'll grab that and rip the keys off of this one and clean them.

Coffee is like sand, it gets everywhere. Anakin knows what I mean.

Coffee doesn't bother my keyboard. Sometimes your keyboard is just a little tired and it needs that extra pick-me-up.

Can we do funny story time? Right after I graduated from college my first real IT gig was working end user support. Well at that job we had one person in accounting who always had her coffee at her desk in the morning. She spilled that coffee. A lot. Like at least once a week, but generally two or three times a week she would spill that coffee right into her keyboard. And 22 year old me was always the guy to go and replace her keyboard. I ended up keeping two keyboards spare for her in the closet that I would hang up using the PS/2 cable over a big plastic bin to let the coffee all drip out, with a fan blowing on them to help evaporate the moisture. She'd spill her coffee first thing in the morning, I'd grab the spare and hang the wet keyboard up, let the coffee drip out, then turn on the fan after all the dripping was done, walk the plastic bin to the kitchen and dump the coffee down the drain. Good times.

Maybe she fancied you?
