Sure, you’ve all heard of aardwarks, but have you heard of aardwolves? There should be more aard-animals. Aardhorse? Aardsparrow?

My friend the sudoku master

noemail@noemail.org (Ilya) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:17:48 +0200

I sent my friend this sudoku puzzle, billed as the world’s hardest. I didn’t tell him where I got it from, figuring I’d reveal it once he was stumped. Today he sent me back the solution. When I asked him how he’d found it, he said he solved the first half while sitting on the toilet, and the second half amidst work. It’d taken him just 30 minutes! Update: Well, one of sharper eyed friends noticed that the puzzle illustrating the USA Today story isn’t the one the story’s about. Shame on me for not reading the fine text. This takes the oomph out of the whole thing.

Iglesia Maradoniana

noemail@noemail.org (Ilya) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:16:02 +0200

Iglesia Maradoniana on Wikipedia: “Supporters of the Maradonian Church, supposedly from all parts of the world, count the years since Maradona’s birth in 1960. It is popular among the followers of this religion, and also among other football fans, to use the neo-Tetragrammaton ‘D10S’ as one of the names of Maradona. D10S is a portmanteau word which fuses Maradona’s shirt number (10) and Dios, the Spanish word for God.”
