A: A red herring.
I'm pretty proud of this one. I don't normally write jokes but I can come up with some spontaneously. Like this one:
Once there was a yellow duck, a white duck and a brown duck waddling down a road. Suddenly a huge truck appeared from behind and barrelled towards them.
The yellow duck spotted a puddle, jumped in, and dived to safety.
The white duck took a mighty leap and flapped out of harm's way.
What did the brown duck do?
If you really need me to tell you the answer, drop me an email. filmlab*hotmail.com
It rained again today.
For best results: Wash in cold water separately, hang dry and iron with warm iron. For not so good results: Drag behind car through puddles, blow-dry on roofrack.

I awoke early today. I just had a nagging feeling that it was going to rain. And sure enough the sky was grumbling, like a chihuahua at a Taco Bell picnic sponsored by Dr Pepper.
I grabbed my towel, showered, brushed teeth and was out of the house in 10 minutes. Going out, dad said, you should bring your raincoat, but I was determined to beat the rain.
5 minutes later it started to drip. I had barely gone 300 meters. Turning back was not an option. So I stopped at a bus stop when it seemed like I would get drenched.
It turned out to be an hour-long wait. And when the rain got light enough to ride, I was spraying water up my ass and into my chin.
Because I have no fenders.
If you're thinking of commuting to work on your bike, seriously, fenders are worth it. Maybe I'll look for some that can be clipped and unclipped fast.
Why I was Eager To Ride
Last night, I did like I said I would. Inverted the stem. Took off the bar ends. Damn if it didn't feel like a whole new bike with the new handlebar geometry. I could even do bunny hops properly, and do a proper launch off a drop to land on both wheels flat.
Doesn't he look sharp? What a racer.
When I got home, I stripped the bike down even more. Took off the compass mount, the bell, the bottle cage, the topeak toolkit, and the rear reflector that I was never sure worked anyway.
All in, I must have shaved around 1kg off the bike.
I can't wait for my bike alarm to arrive.
If it doesn't rain, I think I'm going to do a spot of tennis later.
