The flash version! Now at last you can relive those days of the old school. It's not an exact replica by any means, but I maintain that it has the spirit of the original. The only thing I dislike is that it doesn't have the cheat warp zone at the end of level 2, which means you can't skip to the last but one level. As a result, I died at the first Bowser's castle. Oh well. More practice needed, I suppose.

It's like 'The Week', but even lazier. So perfect for me! And the pretty colours provide welcome distraction from the more mundane stories.

You know what I just realised?
An oxymoron is oxymoronic. Ha! An aphorism of fine blend. This is because:
a) Oxymorons are by definition oxymoronic.
B) Here's the clever bit- I found out yesterday that the etymology of the word 'oxymoron' is from the Ancient Greek words 'oxys', meaning sharp, and 'moros' meaning dull or stupid (forgive the transliteration).
So to those thinking my statement was tautology, I clench my buttocks and raise my poncey nose up at you before saying in a whiny voice, "Na-na-nana-na!"
Please just give me time to remove my glasses before you hit me.

It's not just me is it?

Pretty cool. As a med student, I really should know what all those bones in the throat are. Errrrm... thyroid cartilage, cricothyroid cartilage, hyoid bone... no good, all forgotten.
