So this is what consciousness feels like? Wow. As previously blogged, I've been going through a bought of insomnia and I've progressively been less and less awake over the last week.

At the other end of the scale, courtesy of Rueters: "A 116-year-old Ecuadorean woman was declared the oldest person in the world on Friday, lifting the title from a U.S. woman previously thought to be the oldest person alive, Guinness World Records said."

From Sports Illustrated: Mixed marriages can often lead to conflict. And by mixed, of course, we mean spouses who root for different teams. Sometimes the strife takes the form of a bold preemptive strike, such as by the English woman who registered her son with her favorite team's fan club within 25 minutes of his birth. Kirstie Adams is a Derby County soccer supporter, while husband Martin roots for Liverpool. Right after delivering Thomas by Caesarian section, Kirstie phoned her dad (another Derby fan) to enroll her child as a Rammie's Rascal. Said Kirstie: "I was determined that I was going to get Thomas registered before Martin got his hands on him."
