On the subject of morse code, did you know the start of Beethoven's fifth symphony, translated into Morse code is V, which is obviously latin speak for the number 5. I think V for Vendetta taught me that. BUT Beethoven wrote the 5th symphony and indeed died before the invention of Morse code. So it's just a coincidence.

Stephen Fry is a homosexual.

:unsure:

The way he acts and constant references to being gay aren't obvious enough? Actually, I have another fact about Steven Fry - he's a real geek and writes a blog about smartphones. http://stephenfry.com/blog

Thats not quite true, the image of santa in red suit was used before coca cola used it but it just wasn't as popular or well known. I can't remember the name of the artist that drew it but i have recently suffered a whole essay on the topic.

the song at the start of the "peep show" is by green day, the song itself is called "Im not sick, but im not well"

on the peep show it cuts in at 40 seconds from the song....
