Today, 42 people were referred to my faceresearch website from my livejournal page. Who knew anyone ever read my livejournal page? I almost forgot about it myself, since the crochet group died. I wish I knew why so many people are looking here. -
Chimpanzé!
It is totally surreal to be in Paris surrounded by small children chanting "Chimpanzé! Chimpanzé!"
This weekend I learned that it is much easier to speak French with children than adults. Children do not care if I get articles and conjugations wrong. Voulez vous transformer votre visage? Clickez ici! -
Don't eat my crumpets
Have you ever had one of those dreams where you're sort of awake, but you can't move?

The guy at ( Read more... ) -
Ever Lovin' Hulk... Hulk. Hulk.

How many inches?
I was trying to figure out how long the claws are on my favourite comicbook/movie/smutty webfic character. Searching for “wolverine ‘9 inch claws’” and “wolverine ‘nine inch claws’”, etc. I found a distribution the seemed bimodal (the 6-inch claws all seem to be attributes of the mustelid) but 9 inches won with 34 references. After I chose my ( Read more... )
