I’ll start again. Roast Potatoes. They were in the oven, y’know. And some beef. And my beautiful wife opened
Well, actually, it’s more like a head full of infected sinuses. But that wouldn’t make such a good song lyric. So while I sit here mildly amusing myself with Wired’s Questionable Wikipedia Edits Blog (found via WikiScanner), why not check out two reviews written in a less diseased state but live today at CNET.com.au?
