1.
Heroes is much better when you watch it in Spanish*. (it's pretty good normally, but Made of Awesome in Spanish, especially if you do funny voices over the top of it.)
2.
Old people Baby Boomers are far more likely to
engage in risk-taking behaviour than teenagers. Take note,
Today Tonight and Jim Schembri: "Middle-aged hooligans!", not "teenage hooligans!". Binge drinkers? More than double the amount of boomers than teens/early 20s. Illegal drug-death? Five times more boomers. For shame. (via
Justine)
3. The
following statement could not be more untrue:
Children’s book protagonists skirt past private wounds; they are too busy exploring Narnia or Neverland and fending off witches, pirates and Indian chiefs — or hostile saleswomen at Bendel’s.
Only adult fiction indulges the grown-up delusion that children are interested in their parents’ personal lives.
Too busy exploring Neverland? Please. There's a reason why Mr Darling and Captain Hook is usually played by the same actor.
