St Patrick's Day

Hey folks,

 

I know I usually like things on the heavier side of Slipknot but here's a great tune by that legend that is John Mayer:

 

 

Great. Have a good one.

Best sentence ever

Thursday 13th March 2008

 

I know this is in my Dave's World post today but I can't run the risk that you haven't read that:

Hey folks,

 

Here is today’s amazing sentence. It rules.

 

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

 

Mental Floss showed me this. It’s genius.

Believe it or not, this sentence is grammatically correct and has meaning: “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.” First devised by professor William J. Rapaport in 1972, the sentence uses various meanings and parts of speech for the term “buffalo” (and its related proper noun “Buffalo”) to make an extremely hard-to-parse sentence.

 

Although most people know “buffalo” as both a singular and plural term for bison, and “Buffalo” as a city in New York, “buffalo” is also a verb meaning “to bully, confuse, deceive, or intimidate.” Using these definitions, Wikipedia suggests the sentence can be read:

 

[Those] (Buffalo buffalo) [whom] (Buffalo buffalo buffalo) buffalo (Buffalo buffalo).

 

Still too hard to follow for those of us who don’t know “buffalo” as a verb. Refine once more:

 

[Those] buffalo(es) from Buffalo [that are intimidated by] buffalo(es) from Buffalo intimidate buffalo(es) from Buffalo.

 

And once more:

Bison from Buffalo, New York who are intimidated by other bison in their community also happen to intimidate other bison in their community.

 

 

Brilliant!

 

Also, have a look at the following for animal-based craic:

Cheers,

Feet + Xerosun

Wednesday 5th March 2008

 

Yes, the feet were gross.

Yes, I felt sick.

 

Yes, we raised lost of money.

No, I won't do it again.

 

 

To take my mind off of the grossness, here is a bit of quality Dublin metal. Xerosun rule!

Feet, ugly, disgusting feet

Tuesday 4th March 2008

 

Ok,

 

Tomorrow (Wednesday) between 6am and 10am at the top of Grafton Street, I will rub other people's feet.

 

I need a drink.

 

And a lie down.

 

And possibly a bucket.

 

Oh God.

 

Dave
