It's a "bits of stuff" day, I'm afraid

This will be a "bits of stuff" day today, as I'm brain dead because I went out last night with friends and tried karaoke for the first time in ages. I learned that, perhaps, the high note from Simon and Garfunkel's "I Am A Rock" is a bit outside my range. It's pretty safe to say that a career as a singer was never in the cards for me.


The Globe reports that people who know two languages develop dementia symptoms later in life than unilingual people. Uh oh. I only know English (well, I know a tiny bit of French, but not enough to understand conversations). Maybe I can fend off dementia by using quite a lot of English.


The BBC web site has a list of greatest living British cultural icons, as voted on by viewers. Here's the list, in order:

• Sir David Attenborough
• Morrissey
• Sir Paul McCartney
• David Bowie
• Michael Caine
• Stephen Fry
• Kate Bush
• Alan Bennett
• Kate Moss
• Vivienne Westwood

Imagine: Moz ahead of Beatle Paul. (I must confess that I didn't know who David Attenborough was. I can identify everybody else on this list.)

Before I go, a shout out to my friend Scott's video blog, You, The Viewer. I particularly recommend his January 4th entry, He's The Computer Man. I have never seen so many people without rhythm attempt to dance at one time.
