  Boring?
I feel that this blog has become boring, so I'm not afraid anymore of making it even more boring. With that pre-amble, behold: My Dream Last Night.

I was at Telstra Research Laboratories. Someone said to me, "Hey the super-computer here has decided to record everything that Australians are typing into the internet, like into forms, and into search engines, stuff like that. It is saving it all into files 50Mb big, and there are thousands of them. What should we do?"

I said to them, "Delete them!" I was thinking that I don't want them, and if someone found out, we'd be in real trouble.

"But look!" they cried, and they put the file onto a huge screen, a file crammed with text from one side to the other, no spaces. They zoomed out to view the whole file on the screen, the letters reducing to dots, and a fuzzy picture of my car was revealed. They showed me others, of my house, and people walking down the street, etc.

For some strange reason, I got really scared and woke myself up, and couldn't get back to sleep for a little while. I was thinking in my half asleep haze that it would make a really good movie, even though it was so scary. (I don't understand anymore what was so scary)

On a more sane note, and inspired by thisisthis, I wanted to share with the world my favourite words.

Hypotheses (plural form): Cause it just roles off the tongue like a cool Greek god.

Placebo: I like the way it sounds like a medical disorder (Sir, I'm afraid the diagnosis is acute placebo...) but is actually something used to cure them.

Hmmm, more to come later, if I my brain starts working again.
