I have met so many Dans, and female Dans, and they always blow my mind
![[Scene is a SCIENCE RESEARCH FACILITY where two white coated scientists are standing at a desk of instruments and controls in front of a one way mirroe, looking at a mocked-up drinks party scene in the next room. In that room is a man named Dan and a woman, holding glasses of wine and apparently having a conversation. Dan, however, has a hi tech helmet strapped to his head, with wires extruding from it and leading to the instruments next door. Dan when we see him close up has a slightly dull expression and is droning on, while the lady listens, smiling politely].
[Scientists looking through the glass]
SCIENTIST 1:
And is this one of your patients?
SCIENTIST 2:
Yes
SCIENTIST 1:
This is Dan.
Dan was born completely incapable of asking people about themselves at parties.
DAN [close up, droning on while the woman listens]:
...So yeah 1 like implement creative solutions... and I work with clients to design a... and I'm writing a novel about like this guy...
SCIENTIST 1 [Looking at a screen showing Dan's brain with a hole in the middle]:
As you can see, despite talking about himself for the past two hours, the part of the brain which gives a toss about other people's lives shows no activity at all.
SCIENTIST 1 [bending over a microphone on the desk and pressing the intercom button]:
Dan...
Ask the lady... what her job is.
[Dan pauses.]
[Dan continues to pause]
DAN:
What's your job.
LADY [smiling humbly]:
Oh, I'm a murderer?
Well, contract killer, you know, haha...
[Show dan, silent]
[Show lady, smiling, waiting for a response]
[Show dan, still silent]
[Show Dan, slowly opening his mouth to speak
DAN:
And-
[But Dan falls silent again]
[Show Lady looking slightly desperate now, silently willing him to continue]
[Still nothing from Dan. But then...]
DAN:
...And yeah part of my job is I coordinate media content to across platforms to create -
SCIENTIST 1:
Fascinating
SCIENTIST 2:
Isn't it

I like my men how I like my coffee: far enough away that I'm not aware of the smells or noises.
I like my men how I like my coffee: ground down and bitter.
I like my men how I like my coffee: a formerly great pleasure reduced to transactional necessity.

I am waiting for two different sets of people to arrive at my home and do two entirely different jobs. The chances of them arriving at exactly the same time is increasing by the minute. Ugh! Argh!

I always love a marble skeleton and this is one of my favourites. He’s in Sherborne, Gloucestershire. The monument dates to 1791, and is for James Lennox Dutton Esq. and his wife Jane. It depicts an angel trampling Death, and the sculptor was Richard Westmacott the Elder

Last repost. What a Blobfish looks like when it’s underwater and alive is considerably less funny than internet meme blobfish. Like seeing an actor who normally does panto dames doing his shopping in February.

Today is the 98th anniversary of Thomas Hardy’s heart being cut out so it could be buried in Dorset, at which point it was, unfortunately, eaten by a cat

We're not supposed to know what goes on at the bottom of the ocean. I saw this thing that looked like a carrier bag full of eyes holding an umbrella. That's nobody's business
