Amazing, bidding is all over at last. Its been a really long round but I must admit, the system in place is really hard to beat. Firstly because it is a little difficult to actually hit something which exists on a non physical plane. I mean I could literally smash the servers but that would be too costly. Plus I'll get jailed. Secondly, the automated system is so much easier and saves us the pain of going to manually sign up and what not. Unfortunately there are some side effects that do need to be observed:as you can see it really is hazardous. Once again it got me thinking, what about in days of old, when computers and bidding systems were not really in place...lets say its ancient Greece and theres gonna be some lecture but *gasp* there are no more slots, would the students need to fight to the death? That would give the bald old men a huge advantage as they are able to naturally harness the power of the sun itself to smite their rivals.
Fierce isn't it? Well its late and I have cobwebs to clear so tata.

Beards are funny things. I mean yeah sure I mean ...
Beards are funny things. I mean yeah sure I mean they make people like me look like Military beasts (or as some of my friends would also attest - Aragon) I decided to go for the slick Bond look yesterday. I mean I didn't want to frighten the barber with my military beastic aura of fear.
Unfortunately I forgot that my beard (as I often tell people but people dont believe me) is a semi sentient being on its own. Think of it as a sort of living weapon. Even if it wasnt living, all you had to do was to run your hand through my beard, and it would sandpaper your skin right off.
Conveniently forgetting about its offensive capabilities, I let my guard down when I was shaving. And as I did let my guard down, a rogue beard hair decided to attack ME. Thats right. It lodged itself into my skin inbetween my fingernail. The only thing I could say was "ouch!"
The bleeding in the picture just exaggerates things. Of course with a little bit of patience, I managed to get that stupid little beard hair out of my finger. Well I used tweezers too, patience alone wouldnt have solved the problem - it would have just made my nail grow marginally longer.
Of course, this got me thinking, what else would potentially lodge itself in someones fingernail? I wanted to share this with you guys just to make sure no one out there gets hurt, so yeah watch out for the following items for your own personal safety:-
