Of all the things in the world that can suck the life out of a human being,
of all the things that can shrivel your soul,
of all the things that can make you want to hang yourself with your own shoe-laces,
is there anything more effective than being made to sit through a crappy Power Point presentation?
In the hands of some these things are pure evil.
I'm sure terrorist groups are investigating the torturing capabilities of PowerPoint.
Have you experienced 'death by PowerPoint'? Please comment.

The AFL and the Sydney Swans acknowledge that Swans supporters don't know the rules. They have created a website 'Barry Hall's Hall' to help supporters learn about aussie rules. I actually like the site, however I'm not sure it will be a success as it does assume Swans supporters are smart enough to use a computer. ;)

Button, Clip, Button, Belt, Zip
Today at work I went to the bathroom at about 11:30am. I attempted to lower my zipper but alas, it was already down. In my job I work with many people, and I began to do a mental count of how many people had potentially seen my budgie smugglers. About 70 I reckon, but luckily I was wearing a long-ish jumper which would have hidden my forgetfulness.
Anyway I blame my low flying zipper on my trousers! I wear business style trousers to work and they are too much effort to put on. Firstly there is a button that does up on the inside, then you have to do up the clip above the fly, then you have to do up another button on the outside of the pants, then I fasten my belt buckle and then only after doing ALL that is it time to do up the fly. Well for me it's just a little too much work to keep my pants up!!!! After I complete 4 tasks in doing up my pants I think subconsciously I believe there must not be anything else left to do!! So the fly just goes undone. Yes this has happened more than once.
Button, Clip, Button, Belt, Zip!!! Should it really be that much work to put on pants???
By the way, if my belt is keeping my pants up, and the loops on my pants keep the belt up, what exactly is keeping my pants up!!! Something is defying gravity down there! It's just not my zipper.

AFL Conspiracy
Question
What do you see in the picture above?
(A) Barry Hall a former boxer executing a well timed right duke to the ribs
(B) Mark Macguire attempting to injure Barry Hall by thrusting his ribs into Hall's hand
(C) Nothing at all
If you answered A, well done. You are in the vast majority.
If you answered B, you probably support the Swans. You probably also think that any time a swans player makes a tackle it is automatically "holding the ball", any time a swans player gets tackled it is in the back, and you spend most of the game yelling "Kick it to Goodsey!" interspersed with "Kick it to Barry!".
If you answered C, congratulations! You are qualified to sit on the AFL tribunal!
Actually, I can't believe the AFL tribunal is that bad. They did actually find Hall guilty in the first place. I believe that for the appeal they were instructed to let Barry Hall off to help Sydney Swans win the premiership. After all, they knew like everyone else did that the Swans could not have won without him.
Well the Swans play the Saints again on Saturday night. What will MacGuire say to Barry? It has been revealed this week that the Swans and Hall were "disappointed" that the Saints and Macguire didn't do more to help Hall escape the charges!! What the???!!! This annoys me more than anything? If Barry Hall wants to play dirty why should everyone else have to accommodate him?
