There is a site I occasionally visit, called “The FAIL Blog”. It is a very simple meme that it celebrates- photographs of circumstances in progress or post-event, doomed to failure.

This latest one is probably the best one I’ve seen, a twist on “intelligent design”.

I’m still chuckling…

These words of wisdom landed in my inbox at work today…

If you persist to the threshold of old age - your fiftieth year, let us say - you will be a powerful person yourself, with an accretion of peculiarities which other people will have to study in order to square you. The toes you will have trodden on by this time will be as sands on the sea-shore; and from far below you will mount the roar of a ruthless multitude of young men in a hurry. You may perhaps grow to be aware what they are in a hurry to do. They are in a hurry to get you out of the way.
