Scientists warn that stripes in architecture and clothing may trigger migraines and epileptic seizures.
“Vertical orientation of stripes are in general worse than horizontal,” said Dr Dorothée Kasteleijn-Nolst Trenité, an epileptologist of UMC Utrecht.
“Examples of striped patterns that are potentially provocative in daily life are rolling stairs, venetian blinds, striped clothes and buildings.”
Oh dear...
Noooooo! Stripes are at the very core of my belief system!
ReplyDeleteLX: They used to say that 'lightning never strikes the same place twice' but that was proven false.
DeleteSo maybe this study will be proven wrong too.
In the meantime, say a few Hail Marys.
oh great, this place gives me migraines?
ReplyDeleteis there nowhere safe? must i be banished?
or might the mistress change those rank leggings?
NORMA: I thought I banned you months ago.
DeleteWhilst adore Mistress' leggings, that gentleman is NOT coming near me with that THING in the end of his thing.
ReplyDelete**places chaste kisses on Mistress feet as is proper**
DAMIEN: Surely that THING could be used for a bit of DIY around the house.
DeleteIt will save you a trip to Home Depot.
And here you are UH-gain with the wisdom.
DeleteBullshit ! Sakrileg ! Haeresie !
ReplyDeleteWhat does a kaeskopp know ? Nothing !!
Pippa Middleton may be giving a head's ache to someone, but that's not related to her rug, maybe to her fat arse she has built a fortune on.
Our Lady of the Stripey Pantyhose - blessed be - stands above all this. Sucking one of Her striped toes is know as the promised Panacea among the chosen few !
A drip of the nectar She keeps at the right temperature is compared to Mana - and rightly so !
Let's ignore the devilish influencers and keep on sucking !
MAGO: Kaeskopp… does that mean “cheese head?” Or would that be Käsekopf?
Delete“Keep on sucking!” That should be the Infomaniac motto.
Exactly, literally "cheese head", a slow, not bright person, a derogatory term for inhabitants of The Netherlands used by their neighbours in Belgium & Germany.
DeleteConversely the Netherlanders call the Germans "moffen", don't know what "scheldwort" / expletive they have for Belgians, sorry.
MAGO: In the United States, the citizens of the state of Wisconsin are called “cheeseheads.” This is because of the many cheese factories in that state.
DeleteHow about some cheese-related memorabilia?

JON: American ingenuity at its finest.
DeleteAnd they can be proud all that crap is made in America.
Another slow day in Utrecht...
ReplyDeleteDINAHMOW: It was a toss-up between posting this or the fact that Utrecht’s “King’s Day” went off with no major incidents reported.
DeleteOh dear, indeed...
ReplyDeleteMR. DeVICE: Officer, arrest that man!
Delete"Stripes?" The telly advert for "Pacers" mints was enough to give me a bloody migraine... Jx
ReplyDeleteJON: I still haven’t forgiven you for posting the Toni Tennille sings “Rubberband Man” clip.
Delete"Guaranteed to blow your mind so high, you won't come down, no". Apparently. Jx
DeleteAs long as I don't have to hear her sing "Muskrat Love" one more time.
Delete"potentially provocative..." I should say so, especially when worn in Canadia,
ReplyDeletePEENEE: Stripes? We don’t leave home without them.
