i missed this when it was posted.

"It is often claimed that Gardner's experiment demonstrated that extreme sleep deprivation has little effect, other than the mood changes associated with tiredness (mood swings, short temper, loss of concentration).[6] This is primarily due to a report by researcher William Dement, who stated that on the tenth day of the experiment, Gardner had been, among other things, able to beat Dement at pinball.

However, Lt. Cmdr. John J. Ross, who monitored his health, reported serious cognitive and behavioral changes. These included moodiness, problems with concentration and short term memory, paranoia, and hallucinations. On the fourth day he had a delusion that he was Paul Lowe winning the Rose Bowl, and that a street sign was a person[citation needed]. On the eleventh day, when he was asked to subtract seven repeatedly, starting with 100, he stopped at 65. When asked why he had stopped, he replied that he had forgotten what he was doing.[1]"

The song is Lyttle being very turned on by a girl in a club as he sings "you've got me goin' crazy, you, turn me on, turn me on". He makes some reference of the girl pushing him off and Lyttle then says" if you think you're gonna get away from me, you better change your mind". The end of the song does not tell if the girl goes home or does not go home with him, however, in the music video, the girl is dancing with Kevin Lyttle as if she is also turned on.

My girlfriend told me about 'the Scunthorpe problem' (should be a TV series) just yesterday, coincidentally.

I loved this, about blocked website names:
"Gareth Roelofse noted: "We found many library Net stations, school networks and Internet cafes block sites with the word 'sex' in the domain name. This was a challenge for RomansInSussex.co.uk because its target audience is school children."

Maybe they should stop targetting kids then, the perverts.

I guess this has been posted before: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unusual_articles . Wikipedia's own response to this thread.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucking_Hell

Fucking Hell is a German Pilsner or pale lager. It is named after the village of Fucking in Austria...

...In 2010, two German businessmen, Stefan Fellenberg and Florian Krause, applied to register a Community Trade Mark to name a beer "Fucking Hell". The Fucking mayor, Franz Meindl, objected to Fucking Hell on the grounds that there was no Fucking brewery.
