• Commented on 100-word fiction competition — win an HP MediaSmart EX495

• Commented on Spurning the "false god of coffee"
  This is absolutely in line with my experience. This from a former coffee addict of the 4-8 cups-a-day variety. After I quit (...and after three days of hellish withdrawal) I felt more awake, all day, than I had in years,...

• Commented on Banksy mural accidentally painted over
  I'm surprised at some of the blase reactions here. This seems in no way different than somebody walking into your house and painting over the art on your inside walls. Natural wear-and-tear of art is of course to be expected,...
