Could not find a general thread here.

Have any of you seen this on google mail :-

not sure why they do it.

It is designed to stop you sending emails while drunk which you may regret when sober, the idea being if you are too drunk to do the math then the contents of the email may not be suitable to send.

You can turn it off..

Just overheard this on a documentary about pythons:

"If it's more afraid of us than we are of it, why are we running away?"

Because we can, and are smart enough to get the hell away from anything that might consider us lunch.

Because it is a snake and using the definition of the word running, it can't as it lacks the correct running gear. (legs to you and me)

Someone did some redecoration I see, I hardly recognise this place.

I'm ecstatic to announce the birth of my niece, Dariana. She is 7 lbs, 6 oz, and is a ball of adorable chub.

Just the FAQs...

Be careful Arsi doesn't tag you.

My Warrior Dash costume. No brainer, really. ;)

So, my first weekend in Arlington, Texas. Looks very promising...to be a boring one. Ugh what IS there to do in this place? This tiny hotel room is driving me insane(er).

As celebrity endorsements go, this one feels a little, I don't know, awkward to me.

A 15 year old girl who is terminal with cancer has made a bucket list. One of her wishes is to trend on Twitter. Give a RT

read about this in the print press too

--

Whilst we have seen many hoaxes that take on tactic, including hoaxes on Facebook and Twitter, in this instance, the messages are true, and refer to a British 15 year old cancer patient by the name of Alice Pyne who has created a "bucket list" (inspired by the Jack Nicholson/Morgan Freeman movie of the same name) which includes meeting Take That, having a private cinema party, and also apparently trending on Twitter (though we could not find that entry on her blog, but according to other media, this may be a later wish)

Alice was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma 4 years ago and has made a bucket list of things to do because there are so many things she still wants to do with her life. And judging by the viral path her hashtag is currently experiencing, she will soon be able to cross off the trending Twitter entry.

Twitter users can help the cause if they so wish by including the #alicebucketlist hash tag with their RT (re-tweet). Alice`s blog, which has also become increasingly popular, can be visited here.
