Time and how to waste it

The title of today's "blog" was kindly (another example of British sarcasm) suggested by 斯蒂夫, my cousin's husband (and therefore not a "blood" relative!), and for those who have read the previous blogs, you will understand that he is not the Chinese one.

I believe that the inference in his suggestion was that this blog was an example of "time wasted", but I'm sure that I can find better examples...

For example - this week was the anniversary of the birth of Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone - but after devoting most of his life to this task.....who did he ring????

Another - the education of George W Bush. It is alleged that when advised that 3 Brazilian soldiers had been killed in Iraq, his face went ashen, before he asked - "How many is a Brazilian?"
