Just saw the cutest thing on tv. Myotonic goats (or fainting goats) look like normal goats, but when they get scared or excited their muscles stiffen up and they fall over. Which is exactly as cutely hilarious as it sounds. I think I might want one.
Heres a youtube clip of some myotonic goats:
And for the more scientific of you heres the wikipedia link:

burning bridges
to build a bridge, decided a man
so he did tinker and plan
for this was to be the greatest bridge in the land
many a friend offered to help
alas, he pushed them away
for this was a stubborn man
with what he thought a master-plan
the days went by
and the years rolled on
but our chief engineer only trudged along
then one day, disaster struck
a bolt of lightning crashed into the bridge
and set fire to the monstrosity in the midst of night
a searing wall of flame that was quite a sight
the bridge, weakened and brittle
crashed into the waves beneath
and was swallowed by the sea little by little
our engineer was left stranded on an island
for he had stood at the wrong end of his link to the town
an unfortunate turn of luck for the stubborn man
who had failed to bring a backup plan
now all alone the man sat down on the grassy knoll
which was neither greener nor softer than it was at home
he watched the sun set beneath the hills
and realised that he had no way of paying his bills

Chinese Algebra
Jack can't stop thinking about how he thinks too much about everything. This, he feels, is a conundrum. Jack is becoming increasingly annoyed with himself over his over-thinking. Help Jack find a solution.

Silence is golden.
I have nothing to say. So I'll let someone else say something better than I ever could.

Love life.
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is to love and be loved in return."
Just watched Moulin Rouge and just felt like I needed to say that Baz Luhrmann is a genius. Moulin Rouge and Rome + Juliet are magnificently spectacularly Spectacular, the music, the dancing, the editing, the vision, the love. Truly wonderful films.
