According to a 1920s advert reproduced in an A-level English Language exam paper:
"Deadly Anthrax, present in so many foreign Shaving Brushes, can never be found in the all-British "Culmak", - says eminent Bacteriologist."
I worry that, should this paper fall into the wrong hands, we may have a horrific biological terrorist attack on our hands. Or, more accurately, our faces.

Thank Goodness For The Saurus Thesaurus
I spent an hour and a half today racking my brains trying to remember the word "manifold". If it hadn't been for the Collins Thesaurus I would definitely have failed my Maths Exam because of that accursed niggling.
Hurrah for thesauruses!

9.00pm - Richard Dawkins in: Commando
This week, there has been a whale in the Thames, a piece in New Scientist written by Arnold Schwarzenegger, and a comprehensible comic in the Metro's "This Life".
I think I may have broken through into a parallel universe.

I fear I may be exhibiting severe withdrawal symptoms before long.
Ah, the Italian Wrap Van.

Variations On A Theme
Announcing the First Official Variation of The Seven Of Diamonds Gets You Stabbed In The Eye.

From all of us here at The World Is Lovely: have fun playing!
