The Jam Rolly-Polly they gave us with school dinners had much the same effect!

We had the really thick luminous yellow stuff.
Do you remember the Golden Syrup sponge? I still make that... :slurp:

These people will send you some: http://www.britsuperstore.com/[^] - search for "suet" and it's at the top of the list. In dutch it is "Reuzel Vet" and all suet is, is raw beef fat from round the kidneys. (Not to be confused with dripping, which is the same stuff rendered down. Doesn't work the same, but it is good for roast potatoes.)
The Atora boxed version is just the fat finely grated, mixed with flour and reformed into pellets to make it drier and last longer without refrigeration.

£2.33 for a packet of suet?
What, does it have an apple logo on the box?

Well, this is a site about sharing your thoughts. There really are some weird people out there. He doesn't even know Einstein's name correctly. Just thought it was funny, and sad.

Oh! Good!
I thought you thought it was somehow funny and insightful or something.

Off the top-of-my-head, I'd say the author of that needs a course of electro-convulsive therapy followed by rigorous training in grammar, and spelling.
"What Turing gave us for the first time (and without Turing you just couldn't do any of this) is he gave us a way of thinking about and taking seriously and thinking in a disciplined way about phenomena that have, as I like to say, trillions of moving parts.
Until the late 20th century, nobody knew how to take seriously a machine with a trillion moving parts. It's just mind-boggling." Daniel C. Dennett

Perusing that site, I'd say most of the people there do. I had to close the browser window, my faith in humanity was beginning to become rather rattled. I have the same experience browsing Facebook. I think this[^] sums up my preferred position on the topic of sites like Facebook.

Facebook is useful as its database provides us with a complete list of all the stupid people who must be purged from the Earth when the great Kthaarg returns.

That one's pretty good.
The perspective to take, when coming up with/expanding weird theories, is "what could intelligent members of some hidden tribe that didn't have our Physics books believe?". The "poetry" guy just played with quotes.

He is of course correct:
"Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it." (Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man)

My motorbike is faster than light. That has side effetcs at nigh.

I used to have a Ducati that was faster than it's own electricity... 
|
|
|
|
|
I know the Ducati are quite slow, indeed[^].
Veni, vidi, vici.

Sounds about right for that Ducati: if you went too fast, it would die with electrical problems.
Mind you, it would die with electrical problems if there was an "R" in the month as well...
|
|
|
|
|
Ducati are both fascinating and fragile.
Veni, vidi, vici.

They are a whole load better nowadays than they were in my youth - in the pre pantah days the electrical system was constructed from dry spaghetti and the control cables from wet - but I have had an enormous amount of fun on ST2s, ST4s, and 996's over the years (even if I spent more time swearing at and mending a 750 Darmah than riding it when I was young)
I like V Twins!
