Nine are apparently going to start showing Moonlight at 9:30 on Wednesday night (ie, tomorrow). I will, at the very least, try to save the game of cliché bingo1 for episode two.
Next on the list: graffiti. Not in general; just one very particular bit of graffiti, that puzzled me more than most. I have no idea what it was supposed to end up as, but one 80 speed limit sign kind of on my way home has been spraycan-edited to '80c'. Yes, that 80c - you too can now go 80 times the speed of light for, oh, 500 metres or so3, and presumably get home before you've even left4.
Presumably, one day archaeologists are going to see that sign and assume that, in this one place, superluminal personal road transport was reasonably commonplace. Or, alternatively, that the past had stupid people too.
Lastly, and very literally straight from the headlines: Coalition MP 'stripped and handcuffed to pole'. From the story:
And that's about all there is for the moment. *clicks post*

A senior Coalition politician has been outed visiting a Russian strip club, where he wound up stripped to his underpants and handcuffed to a pole.Apart from a reminder that the Coalition are our right-wing types, there's... really nothing to add. Except, maybe, clothes5.
...
"The partly clothed senator fled the St Petersberg joint after a fight broke out between Russian sailors and other patrons," a Sydney newspaper reports today.

- Like buzzword bingo, but with more of an "Our-Vampires-Are-Different" 2 feel.
- That may be the first time I've ever seen the phrase "Naked Space Vampire Movie".
- May not be 500 actual at-rest metres. Check length contraction in your local relativistic reference frame for more information.
- Whether that's 'left home', 'left the office' or 'left infancy' may depend on traffic. Check simultaneity in your local relativistic reference frame for more information.
- If we did present the Nationals with clothes, would they maybe start having independent thoughts instead of just sitting in the Liberal party room, wringing their tea towels and ironing their hands? Discuss.
