Sometimes the Pope says the craziest things.

He's not alone:

I like that piece of trivia.

Hehehe, that made me smirk.

Is it me or is that written like a story book?

Brian Blessed is the only living man to have boxed the Dalai Lama.

I like that piece of trivia.

So how did the Dalai Lama know how to box if he'd never done it with anyone before meeting Brian Blessed? Or are you suggesting that he's so vicious that no other sparring partners have survived?

[Mac Sirloin]

He didn't say '...and survived' though.
No matter how much I wish he had

So how did the Dalai Lama know how to box if he'd never done it with anyone before meeting Brian Blessed?

Apparently despite being a pacifist, he's a fan of the professional sport. I didn't say the Dalai Lama boxed well, and I doubt Sir Blessed would have boxed seriously. I'm not sure whose suggestion it was, though...

He didn't say '...and survived' though.

That suggestion, sirrah, is the very defenition of a tautology. I said only living man.

I know that guy. He was on TV giving an interview a while back about being the most sexy guy in the world for the third time in a row and something about teenagers chasing him everywhere.

[Ridg3]

Teenagers are drawn to the sullen look these days.

It's funny because it's true.

Fifa president Sepp Blatter has said football does not have a problem with racism, and believes any incidents should be settled by a handshake.

The Football Association is currently investigating Chelsea's John Terry, and has charged Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, over alleged racist remarks.

"There is no racism, but maybe there is a word or gesture which is not the correct one," he told CNN World Sport.

"The one affected by this should say this is a game and shake hands."

Well

Sums up all my thoughts towards modern Sonic the Hedgehog video games.

I laughed at the Crash Bandicoot scene. *sigh* I miss the Naughty Dog days.

A lot of indie games are 50% off...

Embed code doesn't work. It's a news story about a Texas dad who's managed to convince himself that he heard a racist slur in an old episode of Fraggle Rock. It will make you fear for the future of humanity.

[DarkHoodness]

Man, people get so anal about the tiniest of things. And also, Jigaboo? That's a new one to me - It must not be commonly used. Which makes it even more anal.

Sad but true.

The artistic/thematic connotations of Binding Of Isaac.

Yes, I'll stop talking about that game, eventually. EdmundMcMillen was in a podcast, and I haven't posted that. See, look at me not posting it.
