ABOUT THIS RESEARCHER

Created: 14th July 2001 
The Theory of Chocolate
I Survived Single Sign-on

Professor Dongle Splogge of the Department of Pointless Theories, puts yet another pointless theorem to the Scientific Institute. The theory of chocolate.

Chocolate, he writes, has nothing to do with life. It is a cocoa-based sugar product with no relevance whatsoever. Its popularity was only boosted by the fact that it is an addictive drug which spreads immediately to parties surrounding it.

One person who wished to remain anonymous recounted the phrase, 'Life is like a box of chocolate. You never know what you're going to get.' This does not make sense. You know what you'll get with a box of chocolate as the average human being with a brain capacity of an acorn always looks on the back. I mean:

...what a shock it would be to the chocolate connoisseur if they just dipped their hand in and got a Brazil nut chocolate! In true honesty, the chocolate-coated strawberries taste far better than Brazil nut chocolates1.

Professor Dongle Splogge is still waiting for his application to the Committee that processes these theories to be accepted.

Who am I?

I don't quite know. After moving around so much around Blighty the average person tends to become a little mixed.

I am a jack-of-all-trades, in the weakest sense possible. I am a literary psycho, writing stories which pass the boundary of storywriting and stop off at the pub of imagination. I play a few musical instrumentsmusicalnote . Sportwise, I like playing badminton and tennis. I like watching football, cricket and borg racket1 tennisball racket2 (Wimbledon is obviously a pet favourite of mine) as well. strawberries are nice as well!

Pets

orangefish schooloffish

Meet my bouncing fish!

Well, I have orangefish who are very sweet and get along well with each other. Some are big, some are small. They just swim, and never get trawled!

That's about it!

Clubs and Societies

h2g2-isms

Only found on h2g2...

On the subject of 42:

1+(8+0-8)+41 = 42

or...

1+8+0-8+41 = 42

And I worked it all out by myself!ok

Jan 24, 2005

Just to quell any rumours... I am still here, mainly lurking and keeping an eye on Peer Review! Just incredibly busy with the heavy workload at the moment, and hopefully I might be able to write another few entries later when I find something of interest and when I can find a space in my schedulebiggrin
