@robmanuel I'd probably go with "Grave Rob-ber".James Gandolfini died? What a shame. If he had a Twitter account, I can only hope that his final message cut off just before the

@tobyjaffey Full marks for the fancy green-screen method though!And now, here's what I do while waiting for an autocue to reload, in GIF form: http://t.co/bJZyLDil60@garethbriggs Yeah, that's valid. I had to pause it for laughing at Morgan Freeman's delivery of "1980s-space-guy", which sold it for me.@rnalexander Annoyingly, it's actually an instrumental of this not-particularly-good A-Ha-sampling Pitbull track: http://t.co/QYHFiUZ2WZIt's a rare trailer that turns me from "that's a terrible idea" to "I want to watch this right now". The LEGO Movie: http://t.co/9avAiH5gCQ

@tef First person, swivel chair, controlled by joystick. Better plan: 360° gyro astronaut-training thingy.@whoisdanw @jonty A++ pun would make inappropriate gasp of delight on bus againQ: Who invented the trick question in 1778? A: No-one.
Retweeted by Tom Scott@unnamedculprit @TRJeffries Yep. The US price never includes sales tax as a) it’s not required to and b) it varies state-to-state.@tnash Or used any number of physical storage companies; but that’s just moving the problem out of sight!@BothersBar That pun made one of my colleagues hold his head in his hands and mutter "Jesus Christ" under his breath. Well done.@iamdanw @rivalee Zip wires. We need zip wires.@John_PJ_Hill I made the mistake of looking down the middle of the stairwell the other day. First time I've felt dodgy up here...!Working in the cloud today. By which I mean I'm on the 22nd floor of Canary Wharf, and there's literally cloud outside the window.

@MischaNix Someone else suggested putting all the vowels together, then all the sibilants, etc. It'd be interesting to see those results!@Akki14 Quite all right. I suspect they'll end up being recycled!@youngross a) Well, not too many and b) We clearly have different definitions of "useful".And no, of course I'm not selling them. I try to minimise useless physical objects. If anyone wants to commission a hardcover set, though...Since my compressed Shakespeare seems to be popular, I've added some explanatory notes to the bottom of the article: http://t.co/YCXitXE0cO@IanBuzz Glad you like it!@liedra Mission non-specifically accomplished! :)Sicktionary. Just launched by me and the @UsVsTh3m crew. It's a bit rude. I'm giggling. http://t.co/PPzIIPDUF2 (Hint: play "battle mode".)@geeksareforlife @hsnotts I try not to be responsible for creating too many useless physical objects :)@marksteward I don't think I get to decide that, do I? :)@LeonDerczynski @cnorthwood I think you'd end up with the mssng vwls rnd from Only Connect.@pearfalse Yes, but it’d be interesting seeing the effects of replacement-with-Unicode-neighbour on CJK text.@CiaranEaton Courier New, actually. #boomboom@pearfalse I could just open sales on Lulu, but I try to minimise the number of useless physical objects I’m responsible for generating.@pkqk That’d be interesting: so all the sibilants together, all the plosives together. It’d sound like English, but not quite…@kelly_plusnet Thanks!@planetmarshall Ooh, that’s a lovely thought. Yes, you’re right; and removing pixels would destroy an image!@pkqk I did! At "maximum" quality, everything's out by only one or two characters.I JPEG-compressed a text file and made a book: "Romeo anb!Kulies". Not sure if it's net-art or just a load of guff. http://t.co/YCXitXE0cO@ThisIsJoFrank @Akki14 Seconded!@fauzg For sheer joy, playing with the Oculus Rift!

@cazm Rerouting. Thanks for the tipoff.

@tef Your new profile picture is wonderful.@TazeTSchnitzel With linguistics? Well, there’s teaching linguistics…! (My alma mater has a more serious answer: http://t.co/EUiQWyNrp0 )I just rescued this man. RT @thiswayup: Help! Stuck in disabled toilet upstairs. Screws fallen out of door! Seriously!!! Battery low!!!@barticasun Good! When I turned and the world behind me was just… there, it was incredible. A bit low res and laggy, but my brain adjusted.Got to try Oculus Rift at #bcb13! I remember crap VR and this is so much better. The look on my face sums it up. Wow. http://t.co/XxclI8t6mT@linw2010 Thanks! And to be honest, the anecdotes are a lot more entertaining than the degree itself :)@onishiweb Thanks :)I now have four language and linguistics videos! Here's the playlist, from Anglo-Saxon swearing to Jonathan Ross: https://t.co/5epb3BKakf@severalbees Y'know, @Aosher would be really bad at that. (Also, rotating sprinklers and a park works. I played that game by accident once.)

Guys, I figured it out! All this PRISM malarkey is actually just the cover story for the US' spookily accurate psychic spies.@robertskmiles Win percentage, at the moment. Or the lower bound of a Wilson confidence interval, but I'm not convinced of its advantages.@Flipping_Pages @MartinBelam @UsVsTh3m You'll be able to vote for it!Working on a marvellously rude thing for @UsVsTh3m right now. I'd say I'm not proud, but I'd be lying.

Go “CAPITALISM”? http://t.co/1mkZ3lV53z@alicebartlett Thank you! :)@Tive Thanks; glad you like it!@theBretwalda Yep. And of course, the f-bomb's origins are lost in the mists of time - but that's been well documented!I made a thing! Why You Swear in Anglo-Saxon and Order Fancy Food in French. With bonus medieval constipation advice: http://t.co/YmcF7frqma@greigallen Ooh. Can you drop me an email to tom@tomscott.com? We're working out plans soon. Aberdeen's a long way, but you never know... :)

@noneatnamesleft I am, but not everyone in the Tech Dif crew has succumbed to the siren song of the city…@BethAshton Thanks very much! And, er, good luck with the dissertation...?!@elwell2000 Cheers!@hibbie Fantastic, thanks! I'll get in touch with someone there: hopefully when the season starts again we might be able to film a thing :)@jessyruthhelen @davidapeek Seems to be, according to my replies...! Thank you :)@91dave Ooh, thanks! @davidapeek - whereabouts? If it's anywhere north of London, that could work! Drop me an email? tom@tomscott.com :)@chrisdymond That's a lovely bit of kit!The Tech Dif crew and I would very much like to try curling. Do you know anyone who can help?Wanna see @unnamedculprit's curling foursome? It's the Swimming Pool Special, last in the current season of Tech Dif! http://t.co/i8cWKm8jRp

@ThomasWinwood That's a pretty good transhumanist slogan!@MRMichaelRaven @2045Initiative Given that the alternative is dying, I'm absolutely in favour: I'm also rather skeptical, though!@jayforeman Not sure if it's a gag, but in case you genuinely want the answer: http://t.co/UFxPG29Haq (found with http://t.co/LY0cxmrepc )@criticaldefect Ha! Thank you for the heads up. Glad you like the Ed Balls game, @daraobriain!@mrsmmartin Well, sort of. That said, there are a heck of a lot of folks who've written similar things in the past!"My vision is to use the robot as a full-body prosthesis for the human brain." Isn't that how the Cybermen started? http://t.co/XDwLUzu4rx@cwalshUK @julianhuppert I don't think there's much I could add, to be honest...!@mattround If budget and time had permitted!@rothmo I had to check your maths. Then I told colleagues. They all had to check the maths. That's wonderfully counterintuitive.@jingies I try not to anthropomorphise physical objects. They usually hate that.@Rumyra Thanks very much :)@CharlesYarnold @HackedIO It is mostly software, I think: they'll tell you stories about soldering irons at past hack days...!New thing! My @ThinkingDigital talk, "Whatever Happened to Tom's Hoodie?". It gave health and safety folks headaches. http://t.co/SlO4GqgmPY@chthonicionic It's not that: I'd need to ask everyone to sign in with Twitter or I'd get rate-limited. That's why it was in-browser.@kapowaz Alas, they're a "trusted partner" or some such rubbish.Heads up: if you want a spot at @HackedIO, the big hack day in the Millennium Dome, the last tickets go up at 1pm: http://t.co/NJbv9akDR3@BothersBar Heavens, no! A friend of mine tried to pay once, but managed to expose a live-payments bug that I then fixed :)RIP my old project Klouchebag. Twitter's old API was killed today; Klouchebag has died with it.

@cr3 @BPScott It's been an emotional few hours of coding.@ronaldx @robmanuel @UsVsTh3m Yes. Yes it is. Also, have a look at the variable names. It's a work of madness.Ed Balls Teaches Typing! New from the brains of @robmanuel and me at @UsVsTh3m. My best is 0.399 seconds. Good luck. http://t.co/Dwm5ms9V6w@whoisdanw There's a tumblr in that.

@david_whitney That's true: a lot of the new features look excellent, but that design will take a lot of getting used to."If it ain't broke, completely redesign it so everyone thinks it's broke." — Apple #ios7Catching up on iOS 7. Did Apple just look at Windows 8 and go "well, that had no hitches in any way whatsoever, let's just copy it?"@bluealchemist Yep. The office I work in has metal doors. I'm getting good at opening them using objects.@Akki14 I've never watched it either: @flashboy did all the writing for it!@bluealchemist Yep, car doors have got me one too many times.I made a thing for @UsVsTh3m! It's a Personal Game of Thrones Plot Generator. It won't end well. For anyone. http://t.co/UDzEQBSj7z@geeoharee @Vordus Leavin' that as an exercise for the reader!@Hyrum_Graff Yes, they did - but that's the version that's gone down in history, for better or worse! Good film, though."I came here to kick ass and chew gum. I still have some gum left, though. Relax for a minute. I don't want to accidentally swallow my gum."@kaelifa Me too! I usually bump them closed with my hip.
