More of my Favourite Eurovision Videos from 2009-2010
For those of you who don't know, Eurovision is a decades-old, cheesy pop music competition among most European countries. Here are the most entertaining entries from the past few years (warning-- contains some awful music):

Meanwhile, across the pond...
"LONDON [AP]...European leaders on Thursday chose Ashton and van Rompuy [as president of the European Union], an unassuming man nicknamed "Rompuy-pumpy" by British tabloids. He is best known for penning Flemish-language haikus, which he publishes on a blog..."

Baron landscape
So, it turns out Longueuil is a Barony. The absentee Baron lives in Scotland and has a Baronial manor somewhere.
Bloody peasants!

FDP Endorsement
While travelling, I saw this attack ad of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) by the German Socialist Party (SPD) :



The ad suggests that "Financial Sharks" want to vote for the FDP in the upcoming European Parliament elections. The pictured financial shark seems very happy and friendly. I therefore encourage all European citizens registered in Germany to vote for the FDP on June 6.

Things Are Not Always As They A Pear
Did anyone else ever wonder what happened to Chrisdye's long-time friend and professorial colleague who blogged occasionally at demaisonneuve.com? Well, I was at Edinburgh airport yesterday and happened upon him sitting near the parking lot; luckily I had my camera phone handy and snapped up the scene:



It appears to me that he is on his knees begging for his life from a particularly savage pomegranate. Any other interpretations?

(This really wasn't staged; I actually stepped out of the car at the airport and witnessed this, with not a person in sight to explain why there might be fruit sitting on a bench.)

(I reluctantly declare Ken the winner of the previous Battle of Wits, even though his entry was clearly a reggae reference rather than a funk reference. However, his was the only entry and, in any case, he's from Alberta -- so I don't think we can hold his lack of knowledge of black culture against him.)

Wet Pink Folds
Cognitive neuroscientist on his experience on Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

I definitely use these tactics when playing trivia games. Interesting to see it all laid out formally. It's surprising what gets stuck in the brain.
