Am I the only person who likes to pick complex words with xs and other uncommon letters when playing hangman?
I thought this picture was funny. But I’m not sure why…
I thought this one from Flickr was pretty good too…
Author: Nathan Campbell
Nathan runs St Eutychus. He loves Jesus. His wife. His daughter. His son. His other daughter. His dog. Coffee. And the Internet. He is the pastor of City South Presbyterian Church, a church in Brisbane, a graduate of Queensland Theological College (M. Div) and the Queensland University of Technology (B. Journ). He spent a significant portion of his pre-ministry-as-a-full-time-job life working in Public Relations, and now loves promoting Jesus in Brisbane and online. He can't believe how great it is that people pay him to talk and think about Jesus. If you'd like to support his writing financially you can do that by giving to his church.
Traffic jam
It seems I’m not alone in being inundated with traffic. Over at City on a Hill Jeff asked if Christians should be defending marriage – ie the traditional definition of marriage. I thought it was an interesting question, so I threw in my two cents and left. Unfortunately I left before the fun started.
Jeff was featured on the WordPress.com homepage and he got quite few comments. They make for interesting reading… one American guy suggested doing away with the separation of church and state.
You should read Jeff’s blog – his posts are bite sized, like meals at a fine restaurant.
Urgent assistance required
My pet scammer has asked for ten bible verses to include in photographs. Suggestions please…

10. Deuteronomy 14:19 – “All flying insects that swarm are unclean to you; do not eat them.”
Darting off
Once upon a time I got quite upset when my housemates played darts inside. In a house where I was the only person on the lease… In memory of that auspicious occasion here are some dart coat hooks.
A place to hang your hood
If perchance you purchased the ninja suit I linked to back here and have been looking for an appropriate implement to store it… then look no further than these shuriken coat hooks.
Clocking Off
I like clocks. Especially clever clocks. These are clever clocks.
On Foot displays the world record times for running different distances. Three arcs map the records to the hours, minutes and seconds on the watch. The outer arc shows records of less than 60 seconds: 100m, 200m and 400m. The two inner arcs align with the minute and hour hand respectively, for records of under and over one hour, showing distances from 800 metres all the way up to 100km
Hubless Clock
The creator of this clock set out to create a clock with no hands, it’s just got two rotating circles…
Switchital Clock
This one’s my favourite. Its mechanism uses a bunch of rearranging magnets. Watch it in action in the video clip.
More Mac time
That Maccas billboard from yesterday was really clever. Here’s another piece of outdoor advertising that’s also cool… and also from Maccas.
Seeing double
Sometimes at a dinner party the table can be littered with glassware, and it’s a klutz’s nightmare. You place your knife down just that little bit too hard, and the glasses fall like dominoes. If only there was a solution to all that clutter.
But wait. There must be. Because you can see the picture below already, there’s no air of mystery. These double ended glasses are expensive, but you’ll save money on broken glasses in the long run…
Bloody furniture
Bloody furniture to go with your bloody everything else.
Shirt of the Day: Robots in bad disguise
I would possibly buy this. If I was allowed to buy novelty T-shirts.
Getting to home plate
Give your meals a blast with this pepper mill.
Entiecing attiere
Finding the right outfit for a formal occasion is a tough ask. Especially if you’re a function over form type of person. Lucky I’m here to help – with these two suggestions for your next work party… one for the clumsy eater and the other for the beer drinker.
Magic fail
Or is it? At the very least it made me laugh.
