Flight of the Conchords

I haven't written for a bit, so I figured I'd just talk about Flight of the Conchords. It's a band from New Zealand involving two people called Bret and Jermaine. They do mostly joke songs, some of my personal favourites are 


Hiphopappotamus and the Rhymenocerous

Robots

They;re clips from the band's latest tv series, which is in some ways an acquired taste. To be honest, I think they're funny but a lot of people may think otherwise. 


OH and buy their album on iTunes or...just buy the CD. 


Anyway, I hope I haven't wasted the past couple of seconds of your life, but if you have read to the end of this post, 


CONGRATULATIONS! YOU WIN.....A COOKIE. 


Now, to claim your prize, go to your cupboard and get out a pack of cookies. Eat one, or two of the whole pack if you like - it's your prize. :) 


NB: If you don't have any at home, go buy some. Don't complain, it's so not my fault that you don't have any nice food in your house. 


Oh and, RIP Steve Jobs. In fact, this morning my completely naive friend came into school saying how Steve Jobs' death was such a tragedy (which it is - no denying that) and saying how he had changed the modern world. I said that yes, it is sad he died, but it was inevitable considering he had cancer and was over 60. She then asked "How many people can say that they've changed the world? I mean, it's rare."


Before I go on, you have to understand that I was stressed, tired and not in the mood at this point.


I replied that actually, many people can say that. Martin Luther King, John F Kennedy, Abe Lincoln, William Shatner, the Beatles etc. She then said that although these people had changed the world, how many can say they changed the modern world?


So, cryptically, I said Osama Bin Laden. I'm not suggesting in any way that I agree with terrorist activities or the monstrosity of the situation on 9/11, but I was simply proving the point that he had changed the modern world for the worse because ever since that attack, the world has become extremely high and strict in security. 


That shut her up. ;)
