Burns calories? Is that a good thing?

Mr Tracy, to whom i was replying, was extolling the virtues of a free
breakfast in first class, but bemoaning the effect it had on his loading
gauge. Burning some calories would allow him to have had his Full English

The Gospel is enlightened in interesting ways by reading Beowulf and The
Hobbit while listening to Radiohead's Hail to the Thief. To kill a dragon
(i.e. Serpent, Smaug, Wolf at the Door) you need 12 (disciples/dwarves)
plus one thief (burglar, Hail to the Thief/King/thief in the night),
making Christ/Bilbo the 13th Thief. -- Remy Wilkins
