Did you know ... "March 28th The great public is no fool. It is huge and simple and slow in mental processes, like a good-humoured giant, easy to please and grateful for diversion. But it has a keen sense of its own dignity; it will not be trifled with; it resents for ever the tongue in the cheek." From the Arnold Bennett Calendar, 1912; A quatation for every day of the year. www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/64933"Enoch Arnold Bennett (27 May 1867 – 27 March 1931) was an English author, best known as a novelist. He was a prolific writer: between the start of his career in 1898 and his death he completed 34 novels, seven volumes of short stories, 13 plays (some in collaboration with other writers), and a daily journal of more than a million words. He wrote articles and stories for more than 100 different newspapers and periodicals, worked in, and briefly ran, the Ministry of Information in the First World War, and wrote for the cinema in the 1920s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Bennett"

Did you know ... if you play The Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden backwards, there’s a secret encoded message for conspiracy nuts. Allegedly of course, but neither Soros nor Gates would want you to know the details they say. In the mean time I'll just have a beer

I knew they were closet Christians.

And on that note, if you hit your thumb with a hammer and say "Jesus" it means nothing. His name was Joshua.

Did you know ... (and if you did you'd probably still desperately try to forget to get rid of nightmares ) "You put Marmite where? Google unveils its latest AI wizardry: A cake made of Maltesers and the pungent black tar Two ingredients that don't really go together. Like, er, AI and Ethics? Following Microsoft's 2019 foray into whisky-making, Google has got into the AI-infused consumables game with the frankly horrific-sounding Marmite and Maltesers® cake. We'd like to blame Google's AI for the atrocity, but it appears that the idea for the addition of the Marmite* came from a human. Apparently one of the top searched questions is "Is Marmite sweet or savoury?" The answer, of course, is that it is the devil's work delicious. But perhaps less so when whipped up in buttercream and used as the topping for an AI-optimised cake recipe." www.theregister.com/2021/03/30/google_ai_marmite_cake/For those who need a stiff drink here's the article on the Microsoft whisk ey "Microsoft’s AI hallucinates unique whisky flavors When whisky is made in Scotland it’s called scotch. When it’s made in Kentucky it’s called whiskey – the Irish also add the “E”. But when it’s made in Sweden, based on a recipe created by Microsoft‘s AI, we just call it amazing. Swedish distillery Mackmyra Whisky, technology company Fourkind, and Microsoft recently teamed up to produce the world’s first AI-created whisky. The combination of old fashioned cask-aged flavor and cutting-edge AI produces unique flavors that, potentially, could be a hit with enthusiasts." thenextweb.com/artificial-intelligence/2019/05/15/microsofts-ai-hallucinates-unique-whisky-flavors/
