I can't decide what has brightened up a miserable grey morning more - this study http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2011/jun/16/asterix-books-brain-injury on the brain injuries in the Asterix books, or the endless po-faced whinging in the comments!

This is my favourite so far because... it makes no sense at all

The British way of life is under threat from the petrol dollars and the religion that goes with it because the politicians and those in power are selling up. And all you can give us is this crap!

Cif seems to be increasingly heading into Have Your Say territory ;p

OOh ooh and its Lost in Showbiz day, so time for all the 'how dare the guardian trick me into reading about CELEBS where is the WAR and DEATH??' comments. Yay!

I love CiF. At least there is an occasional display of humour.

"It's a flawed study. They haven't taken into account the long-term health effects of taking magic-potion on the assailant."

The best po-facery is reserved for the letters page of the Weekend mag. There's a snarky blog devoted to it.

But first, the Friday Lunchtime Joy of LiS ;p

I wasn't sure either, but the whine at the end about 'illustrated literature' seems to suggest Not Getting It ;p

In your case, I assume them being chained up in a cupboard?

It's true, you know! Every shipment of petrol from Saudi-Arabia or Iran contains trillions of NANO-MUSLIMS. Too small for the eye to see, they get into your car whenever you turn the radio on. The only defense is to play lots of Beatles music, because of all the subliminal satanic messages...
