Hi, Pádraig here. Welcome to my world...
My Favourite Links
Census Knights If you got a mail explaining how to make Jedi a religion in the forthcoming census -I got it 3 times- then here is the lowdown. Balloon-bursting courtesy of the wonderful "Snopes" Urban Legend website. I recommend it unreservedly.
Implausible Name Archive Do you know of anyone with an implausible name?
Pornolize I want you all to believe me when I say that this one is probably the most childish of all the sites I got sent. For maximum enjoyment, I suggest you put the URL for Octocon (www.octocon.com) into the imput box, and enjoy!
The Death Test 16th November 2038 is, according to this site, the date of my demise. I'll be 79 years old, and quite probably a cranky, eccentric old bollox (though how they'll be able to tell the difference...)
The Worst SF Novel Ever? Actually, poor old Lionel may get a lifetime acheivement award in this particular Hall of Shame.
Things to Build
How to build a Dalek There is little I can say about this one except that I really did hide behind the sofa when I saw them on the telly as a kid. Somebody once wrote "these anarchic pepperpots were the perfect antidote to the flowerpower sixties." It's hard to disagree.
Music
Stress Stress are an Irish punk band, numbering among their members one Jonny McMonagle, that splendid young man from Donegal (and twin brother of Danny McM). But don't blame me. EP to follow soon, I believe.
