Hyde21k I routinely get 5 hours sleep a day. I work nights from 11pm to 7am, and I go to bed about 10am, and wake up about 3pm, spend my afternoons doing as I please, then go to work. I once did 10 days in a row sleeping 4 hours a day. That was hard but not too hard....

Do you find men funnier than women?

mimpi @mimpi1911 (25464) • India 7 Dec 08

Well I do. For some undefined reason, I find men wittier than women. Funny women of celluloid are always fat, eating lots of food with dumb one or two liners. On the contrary, the men are funny, more with their infallible sense...

Hyde21k Wow. So wrong on so many levels. If I was you I'd watch Joan Rivers, Lucy Porter or Jo Brand do standup. I saw Joan Rivers live not so long ago, and a guy heckled her, and they were absolutely slaughtered by her. And not all funny women are fat, and eating...

Hyde21k I have no idea if the UK has a blogger day. If they do I haven't heard about it. Not that I tend to keep on top of blogging trends anymore! I kind of dance to the beat of my own drum when it comes to my blog!

Due to the economy, our city isn't salting the roads

dragon54u @dragon54u (31633) • United States 7 Dec 08

except in emergencies or when it is really icy. Salt has quadrupled in price and mine isn't the only city that is cutting back. They say if it gets bad, they'll salt the main roads but they just can't afford to do any more than...

Hyde21k Our town has a salting truck, and for several years now they have only salted the main roads. I think it's sad, because my father who picks me to and from work has to take a massive detour just because the council won't salt the route he drives because it...

Hyde21k I once got a warning at work for growing a beard. It's not against our company regulations, but according to my manager at the time I grew it because I was being a "rebellious element within the store". I still have my beard, albeit toned down a little, and he...

vanonas @vanonas (949) • United States 7 Dec 08

Hyde21k Oh I always add tags! It makes me feel like I am doing my bit to help with the "semantic web" and all. Plus it helps people find things, which has to always be a great thing!

Hyde21k You could use Isohunt.com and BitTorrent, or you could buy a new computer. One other way is to try one of the random acts of kindness sites my girlfriend is a member of. Maybe someone would give you a free copy. Or you could try Freecycle.net and find a...

Hyde21k This is somewhat odd, but it was started by a primary school teacher who I observed doing it...I collect bottles. Just bottles I think are nice looking, or bottles which are odd. I sometimes ask at bars if they have an empty bottle if I see a strange or nice...

Hyde21k I'm not so keen on Carols, as I feel they should be kept for Christmas Carollers and Church, but I do love the Christmas songs. At work they have banned Christmas songs this year, but we've hijacked the speakers behind the till and connected an MP3 player. I...

Hyde21k I actually read a lot. I read a paper every day (decent, not tabloid) and I read a lot of blogs. I also try to read one book minimum a month. I am a huge fan of classical literature, and find myself often losing myself in one.
