This reminds me of a brilliant bit of observation by Eddie Izzard, I think it was, describing how fashion was like a circle, and 'highly, cutting-edge fashion' and 'complete dork' kind of met up at both extremes - the same outfit worn by 1 person could be fabulously avant-garde whilst on another, it would just be ultra nerd.

So true.

Talking of whom, he's going to try and predict this Wednesday's lottery numbers before the draw. :eek:

Am just watching a quiz on BBC 4 in which 4 people with a total IQ of 565 pit themselves against 4 glamour models (all Jodie Marsh style white teeth). Clearly the geeks have been dazzled by the teeth (etc), because the teams are absolutely equal.

Final quiz in play now!

Based on that recent news story where men apparently lose their marbles when confronted with an attractive woman (although the study claimed this did not apply to women...)?

There was something or other on the news about women v men, but can't remember what. Probbly that women are flippertyjibbets or something. Probably that they are to scatter braind to rememeber news items and/or find link to them when they start blathering on about them.

You may have done - mine was just guesswork too.

I don't think wiki is an infallible god, but more likely to be right than me.
