I’m pretty sure HTML5 makes it Turing complete. Of course, that’s a sufficiently bad idea to make clear the link between Computer Science and Mad Science.

The Great Underground Empire looks like it’s still got a little kick left in it yet.

Or if the Dave Conspiracy was so powerful that even Dave’s own genes thought of him as a “David”.

Deadly danger, yeah I’ve had me some.
But this is stranger; where did it come from?
Now I’m a changer … look what I’ve become!
I’m a Dave!

I’m wearing flannel; I’ve got a cigarette;
I’ve just re-written the whole damn Internet;
My chest is shrinking, my groin just grew a set;
I’m a Dave!

I’m a Dave!
I’ve become a nerd!
I’m a Dave!
This is just absurd!
I’m a Dave!
New four-letter word!
I’m a DAVE!
(twang twangity twaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnggg…)

I know at least once I accidentally read Mell’s “Dude” as – ahahahahaha – “Dave”.

Gee, now I’m beginning to feel a little bit sorry for Helen. Maybe not even hypnotising Dave, zombifying him, leaving his head on a bus, changing his gender, tape-recording his thoughts, wrecking two of his cars and extinguishing 46 of his cigarettes is really worth this kind of karmic blowback.

Although, Helen does look cute in flannel, too.

I guess that this isn’t quite what she had in mind in terms of getting close to Dave…
