The Lost Realm

Somewhere, some television executives are discussing ideas for a new hit show…

Okay guys, we need some ideas. Give me some ideas.

We could remake an old show?

Great idea, Larry. So what shows do we like?

What was that one with the guy who was always saying “hey hey”?

I'm not sure…

Oh, wait — people really loved the one with the people on the island… what's it called, um…

Oh yeah, Gilligan's Island.

Yeah, yeah, they obviously love it. It's on rerun after rerun.

No, no, no… we can't just remake a show like that. It needs to be modernised, man!

Yeah, yeah — what's hip? What's cool with the kids these days?

Pokemon?

Rap music?

Playstation?

No, no — reality TV!

Dude, that is such a great idea.

We're gonna make a million!

And right after that, how about we make a Wings reunion show?

This is great… I can't believe no one's thought of this stuff before.

Sometimes scientists make mistakes and label species as extinct when they are really not. Perhaps the most astounding example of this is the White Island volcano crater in New Zealand, currently inhabited by a lone, pink dinosaur (pinkosaurus plasticus). While it is unknown if there are other such dinosaurs on the island, we can only assume that there must be a considerable population to have kept the species alive over the last few million years.

A recent robot protest has brough the plight of robot workers everywhere to the media's attention. It's about time those poor robots got a break. Increase robot minimum wage! Reduce working hours and add additional oil breaks!

Things learned this morning:

• Always look in the shower before reaching in and turning the water on.
• Cats seem to run fastest when wet (this deserves further research at some point).
• Pulling a wet cat out from under a piece of furniture will no doubt cause it to make unhappy noises.
• Unhappy noises will attract Genghis, the house's head cat. He will be confused and upset about what is going on.
• A confused upset Genghis will typically result in a bitten arm and several hits to any nearby wet cat.
• Drying a wet, swearing cat with a towel is a great way of getting more unhappy noises (and causing Genghis to hit it again).

As a side effect of this morning, Arwen is looking exceptionally clean and fluffy.
