It's late, I'm tired, and I've been running experiments all evening, hence I've had the word "recall" drilled into me from all directions. The recall is the number of items correctly retrieved divided by the total number of items that could have been retrieved, by the way, and nothing to do with California. Although I'm still confused that the main democratic candidate appeared to be called Booze Cruiser Monty.

Anyway, some important news: a new lolly stick joke.

Q: Where should you put your TV?

Which rather seems to assume (or begs the question) that you have a TV. Well, fortunately, I do, and it's in the living room, so no real difficulty there. Except of course that this is a crap lolly stick joke, and so nothing is as simple as it could be. So, TV, what are the obvious weak pun opportunties there? Screen, picture, show, channel, remote control, volume, colour, contrast... nothing especially good. I tell you what, in the interest of producing some fake excitement, why don't you pick which of the following crap answers you think is the punchline to this joke, and then wait until I remember to tell you the answer, and then see if you were right. (If you are a big fan of website polls, then you can treat this as a poll. Go around and ask everyone else on the internet what they think, and then use that to make a percentage for each answer).

a) In a remote area
b) Behind a screen door
c) At the bottom of a channel
d) On the island of Jersey with a revolver and a fake bullet
e) In the library, with the lead piping
f) In the middle of a baseball field, because that's where people expect to see the picture.

That is all, you may go now.
