Anyway I don't know if this counts as obvious or not but I've noticed for the first time since I started doing the Parkrun a couple of months ago that when I run, every time my foot hits the ground and sends a mini shock wave up my leg, a little area of skin just above my knee does an intricate ripple for a split second. If you shot it in slow motion it would probably look something like this

Why was everyone in Belfast wearing that on a t-shirt last summer? What is it?

If it's on a Tshirt it's hipster shite (apart from my glow in the dark version)

If it's on boots though...

That's not the same as the one Norton Canes posted.

Vincent Hanna, the late political journalist (who cameoed in Blackadder II as his own alleged ancestor) has the same name as Al Pacino's character in Heat.

Naomi Wolf and Naomi Klein are not the same person.

Nor is it the same as the original album cover. Graphic is much smaller and no writing at all.

Sorry, just did a quick Goog for Joy Div cover and chose that one.

And the original is reversed (black lines on white, although it's been reproduced as white on cyan as well).

0bvious thing you should have realised; Vincent Hanna appeared in Blackadder the Third, not Blackadder II.

Matt Lucas is naturally bald. He doesn't have eyebrows - how did it take me so long to cotton on?

So are duodenum and duodenqm.

If I was smarter I'd have used a lowercase "q" because then it's just the same character being flipped. I would also have made a joke about it ("duality"... the gag is right there somewhere.

It's 3.50am here so no apologies for doing a shit job

I got a PM from him as well, unsolicited, saying something along the lines of 'People have been asking me to come back, so here I am!!!'
