I'm suffering from a bit of a headache this morning... Under the circumstances I know going off on one of my normal rambles would be the polite thing to do, since it's nice to share (in this case I would be sharing the headache that reading these things will cause). But I guess if you really feel deprived you can hit yourself in the head with something reasonably brick-like.
