I always knew I was above average:
The average British male spends six months of his life ogling women, a new study reveals. The first thing the average bloke will look at is the breasts before working down to the bottom and then the legs.

I’d never heard of this before today, and I’m guessing not many other people (who don’t read the same junk online that I do) haven’t either. Apparently, there’s a lock “picking” technique called “key bumping”, which allows almost any modern lock to be opened by someone with almost no experience (an 11 year old girl managed to open a lock in seconds without any previous knowledge) and a few simple tools (obtainable at any hardware shop).
It’s amazing how much stuff is available online about key-bumping, and I can’t believe it hasn’t been a major problem (or at least, we haven’t heard of it) in Australia yet.
Of course, one of the major problems with this is that it leaves no evidence of a break in – any insurance company you know of that would pay up under these circumstances?
Below are a couple of short videos demonstrating key bumping. Firstly, a quick “howto” guide on key bumping:
And another one (in Dutch – with subtitles) explaining some of the theory and repercussions of this technique, and what the “pros” (professional locksmiths/lock pickers) think of the technique.
anyone else scared?
So, maybe I’m just not old enough to know a time when the Melway didn’t exist, but this is kinda interesting. For those of you who AREN’T from Melbourne, Melway is the greatest map known to Melbourne, and they also now produce Sydway and Brisway!
Anyway, so what’s so interesting about Melway that warrants a post on my website? Melway Edition 1, that’s what! Imagine being able to look back through time and see what life was like before the eastern freeway (when we also had 6 digit phone numbers, and measured things in yards and miles – my god… such times existed?), or to look back to a time when we had 20 drive in theatres (I believe the figure is now 2)!
Oh, and most importantly…
