Am sitting in Barcelona Airport midway through the 18 and a half hour journey that will take me home from Havana. Those who expected a Cubalog were vastly overestimating the worldwide spread of internet ($2.50 per 10 minutes for intermittent dial-up speed, anyone?); those who are expecting some cool pictures when I get back to high-speed connections in the new year may, however, be pleasingly warmed by what will hap.
In the meantime, my body is weeping after flights Havana-Paris, Paris- Barcelona, a frenzied return cab ride to grab the laptop and now Barcelona-Leeds. Trust me, it was easier that way. It just doesn't feel like it now.
More to tell, when I do.

I'm just going to Cuba for a few weeks. Anyone need anything while I'm there?
Bunny can't buy me love

Loathe as I am to be caught looking at the Playboy site, but they've got all of their covers since bunny 1 up on their website (mostly sfw apart from the url). Back in the day, they always insisted that the bunny was hidden somewhere, anywhere in the image. Usually it was just blatant - on a ring or a tattoo - but sometimes, like in February 1967, they got a little clever. Also see November 1970, May 1964.

Proving that near-death experiences can only spur creativity, Jon explains beautifully the truth behind spam.

Defendo - a box of 200 tricks, all of them nasty. Not taught in the UK (apart from Leeds).
Of course it's still popular in the States.
