Today DEXA. Tomorrow the world!

Today at work, I am being trained to use one of these:

It's a DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scanner for measuring bone density. Have never done DEXA before so this should be fun. Something to have on the CV anyway.

I'll stop. I can see you're bursting with excitement for me.

Phosphorescent/Zeitgeist

If heaven exists, what you like God to say when you arrive at the pearly gates?

Surprised to see me?

I love Hugh Laurie's answers:

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Ran Dom

Arthur's Day

It's that time of year again. A time when people the world over get to celebrate the life and legacy of Arthur Guinness, creator of that most wonderful black stuff, by getting absolutely pissed, smashed, fucked, sloshed, plastered, loaded, twisted, trashed, wasted, hammered and any other slang word for inebriated you can think of. (There's about 247 more).

So the story goes that Arthur Guinness, the pioneering brewer and philanthropist signed a 9,000 year lease on the St James’s Gate Brewery in 1759 and introduced Guinness to the world.
