I think there’s something wrong with my new iPad.

As the flames rose to her Roman nose and her hearing aid started to melt…

My new passport

I had to renew my passport for going to Barcelona. It came in the post today.

PowerChess™

Stuart Memo — Sun, 02 May 2010 22:27:02 +0000

PowerChess™ is a brand new gaming experience from QP Games.

Today’s youth has no time for traditional chess, which since it’s original invention in 1954 has remained largely unchanged. That is, until now. PowerChess™ boils the game down to its core elements: black & white squares and funny shaped rocks. Yes, all the familiar pieces are there, but with new-improved names, including The Neigh Sayer, King Infinity, Churchman, and many, many more.

PowerChess™ is better than its traditional counterpart in numerous ways, but research has shown that it’s the streamlined rules that those new to the game adore. Normal chess has a high barrier to entry, in that players have to take time to learn the many ways in which all the pieces can move. This is old news. In PowerChess™ all pieces move like a queen.

You’ll be able to buy your PowerChess™ set soon from this very site. As a special gift to Question Park readers, we’ll also be sending those who pre-order a limited edition kid’s version of the game, WeakChess™, in which all pieces move like a pawn.

Only from QP Games.

Battle of the Blands

Bit of a bad pub quiz round this one, but sometimes I feel bad for the lesser-known members of some of the world’s biggest bands. On the one hand they have the success that they’ve always wanted; never having to work again, drinking their way around the world, playing to thousands every night. But there’s something missing. Not only do they not get the same credit that their more famous, more admired frontman gets, but, well, it would seem that some people have no idea who they are whatsoever. They could be anyone.

Have a look at the photos below and see if you can figure out what band you’re looking at. Just hover over the photo to reveal who it is.

So, it turns out that the German version of Baywatch has a completely different theme tune. I think this must be a big David Hasselhoff hit over there or something…

Captcha in the Rye

In today’s modern world where everyone’s got something to say and everybody wants to be heard, it’s become increasingly difficult to get people to shut up. Here’s a few smart ideas that will stop people leaving their nonsense in your garden.

The Mega Captcha

The greater the desire someone has to post a comment, the greater the quality of the comment is probably going to be. Make them work for it.

A Question of Knowledge

Hey, well done! You’ve built up the hippest indie rock blog out there, but you’re losing your credibility due to the dumb comments by people who haven’t a clue what you’re talking about. Keep the in-crowd in, and the outsiders out, with a question only those really in the know would be able to answer.

Who was the engineer for the B-side to Pavement’s 1994 single “Range Life”?

I Can Taste It…

Zeesh! If you don’t know that a red polka dot skirt doesn’t go with a yellow trilby then no way are you making a fashion faux pas on my tasteful site!

What accessory would work best with Natalie’s dress?
A peach handbag with velvet straps.
A single magenta earring.
Silver tiara with matching motorcycle gloves.

Seems a lot of work to me. Probably best to just turn your comments off.
