Loco-Motion Derailed Due to Lack of Citations

"Everybody's doin' the brand new dance now . . . "
Apparently neither Gerry Goffin nor Carol King could put solid proof behind this before the release date of the song, leading to Little Eva, Grand Funk Railroad and Kylie Minogue effectively bombarding the aurally equipped populous with poorly researched information. One judge said that he hadn't "seen so much faith put into hear-say and speculation since the McCarthy Tribunals". The estate of Geoff Goffin has been ordered to pay $15,000,000 in damages, while Carol King has been sentenced to public punishment. He whipping is scheduled for late September.

Death of a true Entrepreneur and inventor



Banford “Manhattan” Woodrow-Smythe (pictured above).

The anniversary of the death of a true gent and genius whilst never forgetting to live life, Manhattan as he became more popularly known for his love of the hooch and in particular that specific cocktail.

Triumphing over adversity in the face of prohibition being the philanthropist he was (an olden day secret millionaire if you will Pomp was not in his vocabulary) had many a speakeasy open and serving very cheap hooch to a grateful public. He was the originator of the gin shoe(a secret device much like a hip or templar’s flask hidden within the heel of a shoe for gin transportation) and the infamous Tommy gun yard in which the barrel magazine and barrel of a Tommy gun was filled with liquor and had to be drank in one. Infamous due to one incidence in which a patron, using his own gun subsequently blew a hole in his cheek and shattered his entire bottom jaw. Banford will be best known, or perhaps I should say unknown for his additions to the lives of the people of the world, Banford invented amongst other things, the asterix and square brackets, his infamous bear thinking chair (pictured):

was the birthplace of many things we take for granted.
the paperclip, the drinking straw, the door latch and the bookmark all born in that very chair. Granted they are not the TV, light bulb or phone, but something we use today just as much, sometimes more. So heres to Banford “Manhattan” Woodrow-Smythe, mines a Manhattan please. Respect to you sir. [RIP]

Hammer of the Gods

Beatles Bigger than Jesus Fact! Painstaking research finds some conclusive proof :


John Lennon's height is 5 ft 10 in (178 cm)

Paul McCartney's height is 5 ft 10 in (178 cm)
Peak height was 5 ft 11 in (180 cm)

Ringo Starr's height is 5 ft 6 in (168 cm)

George Harrison's height is 5 ft 10 in (178 cm)



Jesus Height:



We do not know whether he was tall or short. The image on the Shroud of Turin (believed by many to be the burial shroud of Jesus) is of a man variously estimated to be 5' 11½" to 6' 2" tall.
Jews who lived in the 1st century CE were much shorter than this. Writer William Harwood comments: "According to a medieval writer, [the Jewish historian] Josephus described Jesus as an old-looking man, balding, stooped, with joined eyebrows and approximately 135 cm (4ft 6 in.) tall." 2 This is based on the standard 46 cm. long regular cubit -- an ancient unit of distance. Using the 53 cm. special cubit, Jesus' height would have been about 156 cm (5ft 1in.).

Harwood also makes the point that if Jesus were really 6 feet high, his height would have been so remarkable that he would certainly have been described as a very tall person by the writers of the Christian Scriptures.


Also bigger than Jesus

Elvis Presley height: 5 ft 11.75 in (182 cm)

Barry Manilow height: 6 ft 0.5 in (184 cm)

But we already knew that.

Although to be fair none of them would have a chance up against him in Top Trumps.

Firstly under conception – immaculate prob wins.

Cruifixions – one

Forgiveness – infinite

When it comes to being the bigger man Nobody is bigger than jesus

Aslan Movie in the works.

Due to come out in summer 2010 is "Crazy World - the Story of Aslan, so far, so what" Spike Lee takes to the director's chair to tell the story of Dublin's favorite and hardest working son's. The film' primay focus is the troubled life of Aslan frontman Christy Dignam (played by Lou Diamond Phillips, pictured) Beginning with Dignam's troubled childhood in Finglas, through his toubled time working as a rat catcher in Balbriggan, before going on to take an in depth and unflinching look at his troubled time as the frontman of Aslan. Using Dignam's troubled life as a skeleton writer Steve Martin (of Bowfinger fame) is said to have fleshed out the script by interweaving some elements of early Russian theatre, which he says he found ran very closely to the troubles displayed in the Dignam's life story "Drama is only drama if it is dramatic, and Digman has a dramatic amount of drama to dramatise, but I could not find a path to make that drama dramatic enough, it would dilute the drama somewhat to simply dramatise it, so I needed some extra dramatic drama to show the drama that was already there". Filming only began last month and all those involved in production are keeping very quiet about what audiences can expect from "Crazy World", though in a recent interview on an American PBS fantasy baseball show Spike Lee did express his admiration of Aslan, sympathising that he knew what it was like "to be hated by your own peoples".
So here it is. The day has finally arrived. We perch poised at the edge of the presipice and peer pensively at assonance; this is it. Years of meticulous planning, organising and forgetting have gone into what you, the luck one, have just discovered in this world of internetery. Dr. Citizen Timepiece and The Rt. Revd. Distance Mariner have arrived to offer freely their wares as a single, moving entity for the first time, in one place, together, in unison, in the same place. Such double teaming hasn't been seen since Dustin Diamond's sex tape. The posibilities are limitless, for together we are the personification of potential. Our in depth knowledge was gained through decades of intense and forbidden meditation and physical training hitherto unknown in regions outside the realms of Tibetan folklore. We have seen the darkest corners of the human psyche and we are here today, survivors, holding a guiding light to those willing to follow our teachings.

Something funny will be posted on these pages. Give it time, grasshopper.
