I made the cake. I will eat the cake.

aka the cake saga

Marc Anthony asked: “You can’t make your cake and eat it too,” refers to having everything work your way. Please research. This is a ridiculously clichéd quote. I made the cake. I will eat the cake.

That question was posted on Freakonomics, but the guy who posted it got it wrong. The guy who was supposed to be tracing the quote traced the wrong cake quote as well. The first twenty (maybe more) comments on said article pointed out how wrong Marc Anthony and the research guy were.

According to Wikipedia, that’s from 1546, as “wolde you bothe eate your cake, and have your cake?”

"I might do my 'people I hate' update...I meant to last week, but I forgot who I hate"

As you all know, someone very famous and important to music died recently. Wait, Farrah Fawcett wasn't important to music.

Evidently she wasn't famous either, seeing as no one's making a fuss about her.

On the news they had some kid from a foreign country. He was all "The king of pop is dead! There's no point in pop music anymore." The wisdom of children.

Apparently Merrick Watts is in the band Arena. Mick Pointer had no clue. (I was gonna make a joke about how dire it is that Australia doesn't know one of the greatest neo-prog bands exists, but then I got distracted by neo-prog and laughed and I'm sure someone in Australia has heard of Marillion. Right?)

It's the return of the series of prog names said by people theme!

"Phil Collins" - Merrick Watts
"Arena" - the hot chick on TGYH
"Yes" - Adam Hills
"Yes" - Antoinette Halloran
"Yes" - Alan Brough
"Rush" - the fat kiwi on the horse

The woman actually said "Yes" in reference to the band. She is now my hero.

My mum was watching that New Zealand cop show the other night. I overheard "So far he's only been assaulted by a felt-tip pen."

An ad said "You shouldn't be taxed just because you're a woman." Crazy Turnbull.

"I thought it was funny when he threw a shoe at him" - my mum on George Bush's career

"I like to think of myself as a queen" - Hosford on George Bush's career

"Leipheimer is gonna catch Evans"
"Is that some new form of STD"
