Quote of the week from denise: "The web has made me fat"

"Net People" often have a lot of spare domains. Just in case we, you know, need them for something.

But really mr webb, is this really necessary?

I want to drive an edible car

I've got a snap watch. It's a great little item, and dead cheap too (under five pounds!)

If you've got time to spare, play rush hour. It will drive you mad (no pun intended). I'm can't do levels 8, 10 or 11. [via jess, who can't do level 8]

As Cal doesn't seem to have put in a 'real' appearance yet, I'll stick another update on.

First off, I found this interesting. It's about a pyramid, and, in the queens chamber, there's a 20cm wide tunnel. In '93 they sent a robot down it with a camera and it hit a big limestone door 90 meters in. This time, they are sending a robot with a camera and a drill =]

Computer archaeologists at Microsoft think they have found the first ever smiley. The smiley dates back to a message board posting from 19 September 1982 and took six months to find (no links, unfortunatly). Researcher Mike Jones searched through loads of old postings on the first ever message boards from the Carnegie Mellon University in the early 1980s. The message he found says: "I propose the following character sequence for markers :-)." Now, if it is the first ever smiley (and I'm sure it was something more like 'Your mamma sucks men :oP ), it means smileys celebrate their 20th birthday next week...

He's back again! =]

I have come across something highly amusing and perfect for the last hour or so of work on a Friday - it's long, yes, which is why I am going to post it in the [comments section](http://www.iamcal.com/topic.php?id=1359) of this update, but it's so, so funny. Enjoy.

Well, it was nearly my last blog update. You have just got to try the evil plan generator...

This made me laugh. It's a news story detailing how 'virtual text friends' will help kids with asthma. 'Max' will become their virtual text 'buddy' and send them messages like (and I quote): "Hav U taken Ur inhaler yet?" "Yo dude, it's Max reminding u 2 take ur inhaler." Now, this is all well and good (and very, very sad), and I'm wondering how it could be spread to further areas. Such as: "Yo, Squirrell, have u got up 4 work yet?" "Havnt u got a clan match?" "Dude, ur gf needs servicing!" "Its time 4 u 2 hav anthr beer!" I'm looking forward to your suggestions.

Secondly, this is probably the last update I'm going to do for IAmCal.com - thank you for your time, it's been fun. I'll have to convince Cal that IAmCalAndHeIsMatt.com is a good idea.

See y'all =]
