When your pub quiz round goes awry because people – allegedly intelligent, educated people – don’t know what an anagram is.
Honestly, I have no words.
And if I did, they would be all jumbled up.
.
If you’re going to struggle you’re supposed to struggle on getting the answers correct. Not not knowing what a fairly straightforward word in the question means.
How can you not know what an anagram is?
Look, we could all* maybe do with losing a couple of kilos. And eating healthier isn’t always financially viable, or very pleasant. And so we can cheat a bit with drugs or Professor Cookbook’s fad diets.
Or this new diet drink.
“Blasts fat and food” it says. And those are the two major causes of extra weight. So this sounds perfect for getting rid of that pesky extra weight quickly and painlessly.
Fresh orange flavour by the look of it, too. Delicious.

It occurs to me that I should probably say “don’t actually do this”. I really shouldn’t have to, but have you seen some of the nutcases out there these days?
* OK, not you.
Spotted online today. I’ve been too busy rewiring an office to have too much to say about these, but:
Honestly, I think we went beyond his expertise many, many years ago. It’s actually his brainworm that’s in charge now.
Honestly, I thought that this was made up. How could anyone be so stupid?
But no, he said that. It’s true.
But if the anti-vaxxers and the grifters ever think that they’ve outwitted the scientists, we need to remember that we’re always (at least) one step ahead.
It’s a great idea. It’s just not very original. A guy called Edward Jenner did it in 1796.
240 years of technological advancement, scientific effort and improvements in education, and Jack comes up with a lightbulb moment that – ironically – was devised 85 years before the light bulb was invented.
When will this madness end?
I mean, need I really say more?
It was always a happy, poppy song anyway, but the jauntiness of this is weirdly infectious.
Lots more where this came from too: Boney M, Coldplay, Avicci, Phil Collins, Fleetwood Mac… the list goes on.
Oh, and don’t miss “Wonderwall on James Dundon’s Big Organ”.
Careful now…
Printer ink I mean.
Except, you need context and so actually, printer ink isn’t that expensive.
But let’s pretend that it is, because then this cartoon makes so much more sense.
Of course, these days, you’d be looking at the ridiculous price of pixel light if you were moaning about a blank screen. And while it doesn’t cost much to light a single pixel, apparently, you need bloody loads of the things for them to work properly.
