My plans this weekend kinda went south. I'm bored senseless, and nobody seems to be around.

From a press release: “This is one target men will never miss”…. *shakes head*

I made this with someone in mind, but you're all free to use it if you want:

Gender expert Dr Stephen Whitehead has published a handy A to Z of male types – 27 distinct and recognisable types of men – to help women make their way through the labyrinth of the male mind.

Achilles: sophisticated and charming but also flawed and needy

Adonis: obsessed with his body, usually sports a fake tan

Alpha Male: extremely competitive, lives for the next deal

Backpacker: sexy but dangerous; a relationship daytripper

Chameleman: adaptable, smooth, urbane and attractive – but never the man you think he is

Club Man: blazers, old school ties, football shirts. Into male bonding

Cool Poser: fashion-conscious

Corporate Man: relishes security, a follower not a leader, but faithful

Gadgetman: techno-freak, poor eyesight. Insular and socially inept

Jeffrey: social animal in a world of half-truths. Compelling character.

Jester: loves laughter and an audience but prone to melancholy

Libman: pro-feminist male, politically correct, very well read

Manchild: ageing stud with rich tastes and little dignity

Mr Angry: moody, aggressive but doesn't see his actions as damaging

Murdoch: Napoleonic self-belief, usually justified. Ruthless, untiring

Neanderthal: anti-feminist with outdated views on relationships

Preacher: fundamentalist views. Single-minded, fervent and intense

Risker: optimistic and overdrawn at the bank, likes to push his luck

Romancer: calculating seducer, dislikes women but pursues them

Rottweiler: lager drinker who loves his mates and his country

Sigmund: lots of inner angst, low self-esteem but reliable and caring

Teddy Bear: sensitive, vulnerable and a good listener – but not sexy

Trainspotter: middle-aged, plenty of brown cardigans, and obsessed with data collection

Uniform Man: emotionally insecure. Rigid, brittle temperament

Wallflower: unambitious couch potato with predictable behaviour

Wayne: heroic, unchanging, loyal and steadfast. Think John Wayne

Zebedee: floundering and confused. Needs nurturing. Unreflective but busy

---

I'd qualify myself as a mix of Sigmund and the Corporate Man. What would you say?

Had this lying around my HD for too long, and thought maybe someone might like it for a user icon.

Yet another weird flash: http://www.flubu.com/flash/bonjour.html

Not for the epileptics among us. Watch it to the end, but be warned it gets a bit not-safe-for-work at the end.

Stupid mail server at work… Been getting mail in a desynched manner. Highly annoying.

Shocking news! Read here for more: http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html

Some of the known perils of Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) are:

• Death due to accidental inhalation of DHMO, even in small quantities.
• Prolonged exposure to solid DHMO causes severe tissue damage.
• Excessive ingestion produces a number of unpleasant though not typically life-threatening side-effects.
• DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
• Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns.
• Contributes to soil erosion.
• Leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals.
• Contamination of electrical systems often causes short-circuits.
• Exposure decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes.
• Found in biopsies of pre-cancerous tumors and lesions.
• Often associated with killer cyclones in the U.S. Midwest and elsewhere.
• Thermal variations in DHMO are a suspected contributor to the El Nino weather effect.
