A score of 10/20 might indicate Anno Domini is a factor...

13/20...but I double majored in Psychology and Philosophy and some of those were things I would, otherwise, have missed.

I was really surprised with the Godzilla thing. Maybe I should've taken out my measuring tape .

Too much brimstone. And go easy on that sulfur, Red Guy.

You might also wanna swap that itty bitty kitchen chair you're sittin' in for a flameproof La-Z-Boy.

We don't get too many creature comforts in the netherworld/UK. When I eventually get Bart Simpson , he's gonna bring me a La-Z-Boy . Be careful all ye who invent great things !

How many times have you seen some really cool invention, gizmo, thingamabob, and just absolutely, positively had to have it? Invention is the Mother of Necessity!

That is so true . I want them all . Now ! I really like those cool gadgets that are cheap to knock up (eg water bubble diver in a drink bottle - could watch it for ages. I'm going to modify one with a discreet pressure tube to really baffle young Nephews. I just had to make a 'tomahawk' to trisect angles , even tho' it isn't used for anything. Uncle Reds 'monkey-shooter' is on the list. If I'm stuck in a waiting room I knock up an Origami Jackstone , simply 'cos it still amazes me. The list go's on ).Those power striding stilt things would be really neat to have.

That Lay-Z-Boy , is gonna be stashed with lovely lukewarm real-ale though !

Btw, "Knock up" means something quite different here in the U.S.

"Knock up" - yeah we use that one as well , but it just kind of slipped out on this occasion (!). Oh my god , I'm slipping , ah , torrent of double entendres coming (ahhhh, again ).....

Beer from a fridge ? I'm going in to meltdown !!

ps - Don't know if you guys have the comic Viz - the early editions (pre 1985 ) are an absolute riot of politically incorrect humour .
