When I was a kid, I didn't realise the Captains Hook and Cook were two different people. I'm not sure if I assumed the evil pirate bumped into the Great Southern Land between bouts of tormenting Peter Pan, or if the English naval captain had a hook in the place of the hand he lost to a crocodile…
You can't help but know there's a batsman thinking, 'Damn, I missed Tim!' More info…
Software engineer Zach Rattner has proven the modern social importance of inventors by creating a physical rickroll device. It's a doohickey that plays 'Never Gonna Give You Up' whenever you go near it. More info…
It's disappointing that none of the obituaries I've read have acknowledged that other great role Jack Klugman nailed, apart from Oscar Madison and Dr R. Quincy, ME - and I must admit, I'd all but forgotten it…
There's a bastard in Africa called Joseph Kony, one of the world's 'ten most wanted', who leads the Lord's Resistance Army.
Of course he's a religious crackpot, seeking to establish a government based on the Ten Commandments. But to help do so, he's abducted some 60,000-odd children over the last 30 years that he has turned into sex slaves and murderers. (Yeah, for Commandment 6, 'Thou Shall Not Kill', read, 'Thou Shall Not Kill When I've Got These Boy Kids To Do It'; and for Commandment 7, 'Thou Shall Not Commit Adultery', there's the addendum 'But Childery's Fine, That's Why I Also Abducted These Girl Kids'.) Kony's been at it for years. Kony 2012 is the campaign to rid the world of him once and for all. This is the year.
There's a short film about it doing the rounds:

As one of my favourite political comics, Scott Abbot, suggested: "Bob Carr, this is your first mission as Foreign Minister…". Heck, it's the one that'll get him UN Secretary General, if not PM. If he handles it the right way and gets to the bottom of it.
If you feel you should do more, you can donate and buy stuff but don't do so blindly: be informed.
Before you attach this clip to all your social media stuff, be informed: a lot of the groundswell that has sprung up literally overnight targets Uganda as the centre of Kony's operations; he hasn't been there for some 6 years, and there is a peace process underway there. Furthermore, the LRA much smaller than it once was.
So this campaign, seeking to send US 'Military Advisers' into Africa, has the right inentions. But I can think of past conflicts in other parts of the world to which the United States provided soldiers 'Military Advisers'. Heaps of them. It didn't end so good, for those parts of the world, the locals, or a heap of the soldiers 'Military Advisers'(Psst: it was in Vietnam.) It's worth having a bit more information when contributing to viral memes, is all I'm saying. Cos there's always another side to the story, as the 'Visible Children' Tumblr points out.
I'll get back to the entertainment stories and interviews shortly.
If you've got any comedian friends, you'll frequently wish you could actually stop them if you've heard any of these ones. Because you will have. Ad infinitem.
Are you doing anything else at the Comedy Festival apart from interviewing?
Thanks for asking. If I have the opportunity to do some open mic somewhere (the Exford?) I will. I'll be watching a heap of shows. Don't know whether I'll be judging the Raw National Final again. I'll happily flyer for other shows after my season ends (April 8). And interviewing anyone who wants to be for the blog!

You should probably know that in addition to Fiona O'Loughlin, Fear of a Brown Planet, DeAnne Smith, Tim Ferguson, Greg Fleet, Celia Pacquola and Andrew Denton, the ones "we can't name" are Tom Gleeson, Sammy J and Hannah Gadsby. Nice.
Buy tickets if you like.
I didn't expect #masterchef's Spanish Inquisition pun. [woosh! Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition pun. Their chief weapon is... etc etc]
