Do you remember the time?

When you were in love? I remember. It was about 1987. I was 5 at the time and a friend from the neighbourhood (he lived about five minutes walk up Lock Street in Stanthorpe) brought home a vinyl record with a black cover and a picture of an African American man in a white suit and long curly hair.

YGM's KEEPIN' IT REAL Dictionary

FAAABULOUS: adj 1. Description word used by inimaginative and dull critics, note the drawn-out 'A' sound, usually succeeded by "darling"; 2. Fabio-like eg He's very Fabulous in appearance; 3. Sex And The City scriptwriters' go-to word when they're all out of ideas.

Science versus God: Go

So I just got home from watching the next (or first, depending on how you look at it and whether you like to read) installment of Dan Brown's series starring Harvard professor and symbologist Professor Robert Langdon, Angels And Demons.

The story has the protagonist following the signs of a secret society of scientists known as the Illuminati around Rome and Vatican City, all in the name of saving four kidnapped Catholic cardinals and ultimately locating an "antimatter" bomb with the potential to cause an explosion of cataclysmic proportions. 

Now, it would have been easy to flex my critic hat on this one but instead I'd like to pose a question to our well-bred Snarkian readers: Science versus God? Which side do you take and why?

You've Got Male's week in review...

Well what a week! Matty Johns pantsed himself on live TV due to some silly little girl not understanding the interchange rule in the bedroom, Australia passed down a massssssssive deficit budget that will be around longer than John Howard (I'm convinced he is unbreakable, henceforth he can't be killed by conventional weapons i.e. knives, guns, Peter Costello) and last but not least, Stephanie Rice is confused about which swimming pantaloons she should be squeezing her sessy lil self into... I've decided to tackle these landmark events one by one.
