Seems like there are about 100 deaths per day on Russian's roads, and 10 times more accidents per vehicle than Britain (if you believe anything put out by Sky News).

Now there's a thought. Perhaps Graeme could become a commentator. For instance, he could have raised the adrenaline levels by an octave or two on this one:

Can't remember if I posted this anywhere. I caught it on Ski Sunday, and each time I watch it it takes my breath away. Quite insane.

Wow. 2 hours 47 minutes... It took me longer than that to walk up Snowdon about 18 months ago.

If you got the walking boots off some American guy on eBay, and didn't bother to send them back when you realised they were actually ballet shoes, maybe that's why you took so long. That's the only explanation I can think of. You should have posted a question about what to do on here. Someone would have given some good advice.

Yeah - it would have been a nice collaborative thread.

I haven't got round to watching the whole thing yet, my first experience with Kony today started with this, which I think will probably turn out to be an important read:

Have played along that way for as long as I can remember!
Mike Brown: "Round 12: T N R S A E I G U

C1: SIGNATURE (18) ["9; not written down"]
C2: SEATING (7)
Score: 108–16 (max 113)

Another niner for Adam and yet another century. Well done, that man."

Hywel linked me this.

I like the crossing off of numbers as they're used; that's a neat idea. The contestants were very well dressed too!

I've already had this video mentioned to me three times! :D I've considered this before in fact, and briefly attempted it but found it very hard to get a good enough look at the cube to even think about solving it while juggling. I guess I'll have another go.

Weird Al Yankovic seems to be releasing a song a day on his website at the moment.

I recommend the excellent "Foil", but "Word Crimes" may be appreciated more by this community.

Enjoy by going here: http://www.weirdal.com/
