Thursday, September 21, 2006 Last night somebody robbed my car stereo from the secure underground parking facility. God bless Cork Street. Apparently this is just one of several cars that have been broken into in the past few weeks.

Wednesday, August 30, 2006 Today I discovered that Sam, at work, is a geocacher. I was amazed that I had never heard of this activity before – the global GPS cache hunt. Its like a secret society of Boo Radleys who hide little treasure boxes throughout the world, and give, on the internet, the GPS co-ordinates for [...]

Incidentally, the movie was Thank You for Smoking – a very entertaining slightly Coen brothers-esque comedy. Its one I would normally have skipped thanks to the terrible title, but [...]

Michael Jackson flew in today and according to RTE, he will be staying at Blackwater Castle in Castletownroche. Locals speculate that he may have come to attend their far-famed fortnightly jumble sale. Others reckon that he’s actually going to stay with Michael Flathead. Either way, you’d think theres no need for the [...]
Today the dog came back with a pack of 8 Crunchy Chicken Fillets in her mouth, partially frozen. I don’t know where she gets these things, but this means that in the past six months she has stolen from the neighbours:
A side of smoked salmon
A rack of lamb
A string of sausages (in true cartoon [...]

From the site that brought you the two-nosed dog, here are the Top 10 Hybrid Animals. Amazing stuff – I was skeptical about one or two of them but after searching a bit they all seem legit. Silver medal goes to the leopon:
