Evil Eyed Cherry

The other day I bought some cherries. Sunday, it was, yes, I remember well. I bought the cherries home and washed them and ate them and they were good.

Roti Shapes and the Brain

So the question asked is this "Do round rotis taste better than non-round ones?". And that is an interesting, very interesting, question.

NEVER TRUST A CRICKETER

< A little comic relief before the India vs South Africa match at #WC2015. This was sent to me by a lovely lady who shall remain nameless. Exceptions may be made in the case of those willing to send me a US$10 and a SASE.>

Come all ye fair young maidens and harken unto me,
