Minimalist poet, minimalist lifestyle

A 104-year-old South African man has set a new world record for the 100 metre race.
Phillip Rabinowitz, from Cape Town, is now officially the world's fastest centenarian sprinter, reports the Daily Mirror.
He finished the 100 metres in 30.86 seconds, knocking more than five seconds off the previous best.
It's not quite the 9.74 seconds set by Asafa Powell in 2007 but Phil is 80 years older than the world record holder.
Phillip said: "I've always run and walked everywhere because when I was a kid there weren't any cars."

I was looking at the location of my blog visitors on Sitemeter and noticed yet again that Shreveport was written in capital letters. Nowhere else on the planet has been afforded this privilege so far.

A hospital builder has been sacked after being caught having sex with Henry the hoover.

The Polish contractor – who was supposed to be locking up the site – was found naked and on his knees with the smiling cleaner in the staff canteen.

A horrified security guard at Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital told him to “clean himself and the hoover” before kicking him out.

The shameless builder later told bosses he was vacuuming his underwear – “a common practice in Poland”.
