I recently had a conversation with a constable during the Winter Olympics, and things naturally got around to knives. After going through the aspects of form versus function, the black and white of certain grey areas, we got around to the idea of the knife as a defensive tool. This chiefly revolved around the idea of the knife being used for Self-Defence, which I contended was a misnomer, and that what people "really" meant was… Continue

If plates are called saucers, and Aliens travel in Flying Saucers, I wondered if there is a correlation between the two? After all Crop Circle patterns are really nothing more than plate patterns. So, if I can find the right Crop Circle pattern that matches my plate pattern, maybe the Aliens might beam up my dirty dishes and have them cleaned? Merde! My plate patterns don't match any Crop Circle patterns.
