• Given dogs' propensity for sniffing other animals' buttholes and piles of other animals' shit, do their noses and sinuses have specialised bacteria/antibodies that protect them infection?

  I would probably get all kinds of diseases if I sniffed every bare asshole from every mammal I meet, humans included. I’d definitely get sick if I sniffed a dozen random turds a day. But dogs can do it without any apparent issues. Not only that, but they can do it across different species of animal, too. What dark arts are afoot within the beak of the dog?

• What's your preferred free antivirus solution on Windows?

• Not once in my 40-odd years of life have I used a WYSIWYG editor that, once committed/submitted/saved, actually *gave me what I saw*

  If I see a gap between two lines of text, and that gap vanishes when I commit the document to the web or save it to a file, then it’s not ‘WYSIWYG’. But this has been my experience with 100% of such editors. I propose a new acronym to replace ‘wizzy-wig’: WYSMBWYGIYLBIACWBFRTWNBMCTYSSIYUC What You See Might Be What You Get if You’re Lucky but it Almost Certainly Won’t Be For Reasons That Will Never Be Made Clear to You So Suck it Ya Ugly Cunt Not as pithy, but at least it’s accurate.
