Francis M Fesmire".......excellent, and using the same search terms I also got the following line from Anim. Reprod. Sci. 'High quality ejaculates (n=4) were collected from two Asian elephant bulls by rectal massage.'. Which lucky research student got volunteered for that task I wonder, and who held the bucket? Anyway, I got the cure of choice for hicups from New Scientist which also reminded me of something which, while a little bit less school boy humour, is still excellent nonetheless. Take a dictionary, in this case an English-Swedish-English one, and then look at the top of the pages where, hopefully, the first and last entry on the page are separated with a '-'......you then get such associations as:

wholefood-Wiener schnitzel
pullback-pungent
iguana-imbecility
dog biscuit - doomwatcher

Quite why this makes me laugh is anyones guess, but this is a game which could me occupied for minutes.

Pissed off with: The American show 'prison break'. 22 episodes I sat through of watching the tattooed Jason Schofield work on his tortourous, illogical and quite frankly unbelievable plan to get him and his brother out of prison. 22 fucking episodes, which is just short of a whole day of my life. Episode 22, we're escaping - check, massive plot holes (nothing new there)-check, starting to wind up loose strings - check....hold on a minute, cutting it a bit fine here, only 5 minutes left and theres still loads of stuff which needs to be explained, oh what, whats that you say....another 22 episodes of them, no longer in prison but now the run. No thanks, I'll consider 'Want ad-warpath', 'seduce-siezure' or a 'labial-lady' instead.
