Having missed National Orgasm Day, I was pleased to discover that there will be a second opportunity, as Saturday will be International Orgasm Day.
Except it"s actually International Female Orgasm Day. What"s the point of that?

So the first Republican debate Is tonight. Seventeen candidates split into two groups. It is likely that Jeb Bush or Scott Walker will be the nominee next year but, in the meantime, the debates should be a lot of fun - and could change history.
Some the candidates are very well qualified, but just don"t seem like people I would want to have running the world.
Would you want Rick Perry, three-time Governor of Texas, who can"t remember which government agencies he wants to abolish, running the world?

How about Senator Ted Cruz, who has a glittering legal career behind him, including being the youngest Solicitor General in Texas history and arguing more landmark cases in the US Supreme Court than anyone else in Congress?

And, of course, there is Donald Trump. As the unexpected front-runner, Trump suddenly has something to lose, so the word is that he is going to tone the usual bombast right down.
Some of the others are just as deranged.
You have a right to be worried.

Part of me wants this to happen - however the sensible part of me is extremely worried.....

The debate is on Fox News live now: http://www.foxnews.com/live-coverage/fox-news-republican-presidential-primary-debate
But they have it on a small screen, with no sound, as you"re supposed to have a cable subscription. You can fake it by also calling up Fox Radio, which has it live (the sound is in sync) and expanding the screen.

These are the options for the new New Zealand flag. The old New Zealand flag is crap and looks pretty much the same as the Australian one (a bit like the one on the left of the second row of the new options), so they"re getting a new one. 10,292 designs were submitted and these are the 40 that have made the long-list.
Unfortunately, the new options are crap too - and a lot of them are very similar. They nearly all have stars, a fern or a koru. I thought a koru must be a wave, representing the sea that surrounds them, but apparently it"s not. It is also a fern, but one that is unfolding. Ferns are a big deal in New Zealand. There are a couple of triangle things and one that looks like a sex position.
A few of the options would be okay as company logos, a lot of them look like ice-cream containers and most are just terrible. Makes you wonder how bad the rejected proposals were.
The cost of the whole process is estimated at nearly $26m, mainly for two referendums. Keeping the old flag is still an option too.
From what they"ve got, I think one of these will win. But, really, they should start again.
