    Apparently no one is 100% sure whether bloodsucking worms were named after doctors that used them, or doctors were named after the blood sucking worms that they commonly prescribed.

    “Leech” being an old timey name for a medical doctor, possibly predating the term “doctor” which just came from “teacher” like “doctrine” or something.


  • I hate remakes, I normally don’t watch them. Even sequels, especially 3rd or more.

    But I believe people - generally - do want to watch remakes, (or formualic films based on cartoons), since that’s all I ever seem to hear about. People seem a lot more likely to talk about “captain bat-spider 5 the egg-sack years” or "starwars the phantom plot connexion " than anything that seems intertesting to me.

    I used to live by a cinema that did cheap mondays a few years ago, I think maybe ‘Looper’ and ‘Sightseers’ I remember seeing there most recently. I’ve doubt I’ve seen a new film since then.I think they’re ‘original ish’?

    I don’t even know where my nearest cinema is in this town, I think theres a small artsy one in town, but for proper cinemas i think you need a car drive out into the sticks fuck that.

    All that aside, I liked lethal weapon 5 more than any other lethal weapon film. Does that count?

    Which came first:

    • A chicken or an egg
    • A chicken or the egg
    • The chicken or an egg
    • The chicken or the egg
    • The chicken or its egg ?

    If the definite article is used then it should be clear from the physical or literal context eggsactly which chicken and which egg are the subjects. This makes the answer a simple matter of asking each for its birth certificate.

    If the question has been taken out of context or misquoted - and is now meaningless - well that’s just typical sloppy journalism.


  • The only people not on the meme are the IT procurement people at my work

    share point, one drive, dynamics, office 365, teams.

    They’re all ganged up with their swords pointed at me just trying to do some work.

    Together they’ve managed unseated oracle as the arch nematode, even thogh none of them actually do anything that i need - apart from maybe filing cabinet.
