Randomness

- Down For Everyone Or Just Me? is the most helpful website ever. Yes, Ticketmaster's website is broken for everyone and not just me.

- Tunnel to the other side of the Earth.
So, if I were to start digging in my back garden, I would end up in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. However, if I were to try to run as far away from Sydney as possible without drowning, I'd be living in the Azores. Cool.

(Did you know that a lot of people from the Azores emigrated to Brazil? They still maintain their own small cultural groups there. /Random fact I remember from Anthropology.)

- I hate April 1st, but these made me smile.
The Australian Sex Party issued a press release this morning announcing they had merged with the Shooters & Fishers [Party]. The name of this new alliance? The Sex Pistols, of course.

- I have a bone to pick with TOR's Best Shakespeare Adaptations For Teenagers. How can this be a complete list without the inclusion of Were The World Mine? It is the best take on A Midsummer Night's Dream that I've seen, because it gets to the heart of the original play but explores those ideas in a modern environment. At least someone mentioned it in the comments. *harrumph*

I do agree that Romeo Must Die is an excellent spin on Shakespeare's play though, and it's my favourite one on the TOR list.
