A woman has decided to "stand by her man" despite him committing the murder of his book-keeper ex. Admittedly, at first I thought this was an article regarding a belated prequel to the film 'I Married An Axe Murderer', but, needless to say, that idea turned out to be false. According to reports, the man had been a junkie and an alkie before becoming a murderer. Talk about climbing the proverbial ladder, the next step would probably be serial killing, ala Jack the Ripper, and eventually culminating in turning Scotland into a dictatorship, recruiting citizens and encouraging them to hit up drugs until their arms resemble swiss cheese, drink until alcohol substitutes for blood, all before ordering them to invade England whilst swinging axes like they are tennis rackets and their opponent is Rafael Nadal.
An article in The Sun suggests that "experts" say 'footballers may miss penalties because they suffer from a mental illusion that makes the goal seem smaller' - quite possibly the first time someone has used the term 'mental illusion' to describe a goalkeeper (the obvious reason for the target seeming smaller). Apparently, the target will seem smaller when they have a poor game and bigger on better days (when the keeper is cought between the eyes by a sniper). 'Successful players may be able to trick their mind into thinking the target is bigger than it really is'. Using my own logic, if I thought the target was bigger than it really was I think I'd miss more often due to the fact that I'm aiming for a point on the goal that doesn't even exist. No?
A short entry which tells me it's a decent day today.
Rant on.
