Singpore Noodles is quite tasty, IMHO
My beautiful wife is an excellent cook, and if she was ever to cook me Singapore Noodles, that link goes to the recipe. Probably easier to buy take-out for that one...

My Sub-Conscious Is Singing While I Sleep
Yesterday I went to put Lloyd Cole on the stereo (well, PC), but got distracted and didn't. When I awoke this morning I had a Lloyd Cole song in my head, and couldn't get rid of it.
I'm guessing that even though I'd forgotten about the idea of listening to him, my subconscious did not, and indeed it was singing along to his songs all night while I slept - rather than attending to more important duties.
I'm thinking that in general a person's subconscious has a personality of its own. It is the same personality of our raw conscious state, except we adjust our conscious personality so that we fit in better with the world (ie I do some work each day, but deep-down I'd rather just listen to music).
So, seems that my subconscious is a lazy sod prone to goofing off and avoiding work...

Unfortunate Ad Placements
If you have 2 billboards alongside each other, there's always the potential for the combination to me funny (or tragic!). Major websites that match ads up with the context of the content are also likely to screw up:

WARNING: Traders Choice
They have an ad in AFR Smart Investor magazine, promoting a "web based program that tracks your investments".
Strangely, for a company adept at providing online services, they have no web presence. To avail yourself to their product you need to phone "03 8080 5636" - a Google search of which only brings up a failed travel company.
