Mr Leu Shan contacted me today, with this request:
I am Mr.Leu Shan,we are a group of business men who deal on import and export raw materials into canada,america and europe. We are searching for representatives who can help us establish a medium of getting to our costumers in the canada,america and europe as well as making payments through you to us.
I infer from this that Mr Leu Shan is trying to run his mail-order Fancy Dress business whilst coping with a Multiple Personality Disorder. You’ve got to hand it to him – that can’t be easy.

Some curious Victorian Valentine’s Day missives to remind us that cynicism and indeed Valentine’s Day itself aren’t inventions of the 20th or 21st Century – Link

Nurse Myra forwarded this plea which she received from Bryanna:
I am looking for someone who can fulfill my high and hard drive.
– Bryanna Muggubnqtr
We are of the opinion that this is not so much a soliciting of sexual favours as a request for some help from the IT department.
Or maybe Bryanna is a Technosexual – Link

It’s kinda de rigeur to make fun of the Japanese predilection for making up brand names that are odd or amusing to English eyes, but sometimes it can be poetically cute. My friend Annie bought me back this packet of gum from Tokyo.
If you have a hankering to try Watering Kiss Mint you can buy it from Giant Robot Store in four flavours: Lemon, Peach, Apple and ‘Clear’ (interesting).

This beautiful true-colour image of Saturn’s tiny moon Mimas was captured by NASA’s Cassini probe in orbit around the ringed planet. It is truly worth visiting the Cassini site to see this image and others like it in high resolution.
