Jimson weed, nasty stuff, extremely poisonous. Part of the nightshade family, very closely related to tomatoes.
There's a case on record of a family who grafted tomato shoots onto jimson weed in an attempt to make the plants hardier and the tomatoes bigger. It worked. Then they ate the tomatoes. The entire family died at the dinner table.
I made the same leap of logic: pink = gay. Don't think I ever heard the FT described as a pink paper. Although, technically, it is.
Apologies for any typos. I stepped on my glasses last night. My monitor is at arm's length, which puts it firmly in the blur zone.
[sudden idea] Oh, much better at 200% zoom. Still blurry, but readable.
I don't have a blog as there's not much point. I don't keep a diary for my own personal perusal, so why put one up for everyone to read?
In forums I generally use some version of my own name. Usually go for "Robbie" unless it's already taken. The main exception is for NaNoWriMo (the National Novel Writing Month), where I call myself BlockBreaker. This is because I signed up for NaNo specifically to get over a creative block.
I have YouTube and Wikipedia accounts which I want to be not obviously traceable to any other identities ('cos there's some weird people hanging around those places). For these I've chosen ancient Egyptian names which I won't repeat here.

I think they're hilarious. Would probably go over well here in the UK. They're certainly a heck of a lot better than the current boring "true-life interview" ads Sensodyne are running on TV now. ("I couldn't eat ice cream... now I can." Bleah.)
