Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd October, 2022.

2nd October, 2022.


Right … it’s Sunday … 

It’s a day I’m expecting to be quiet.

I think I can safely say the most exciting thing I’ve done, so far?

Is move my iMovie library from my iMac’s main drive, to an external hard drive.

It frees up some space.

If things get really quiet?

I’ll move my Music library.

Gosh, the excitement!

~≈📚≈~

Oh, just so you know?

I caught another episode of Star Trek Strange New Worlds, on Friday.

And posted my review, yesterday.


That show is serving the proverbial aces!

M. K. Gandhi, 2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948.
And a song …


Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.






*        If it’s any extra inspiration, Olga?   Graeme Garden — of the Goodies — is another doctor turned comedian.   How are you with giant kittens?
        Arsenic in rice?   It sounds like some one’s up to something, there.   I’m not surprised about sugar levels, though.   As far as I can tell, many ready made foods have lots of salt, as a preservative: and tons of sugar, to cover the taste of the salt!   And possibly the arsenic!!
        Have a good day!

        Hello, Mum!

        I’ve got to admit, Debbi: Fresno barely registers, over here.   Well, compared to ’Frisco and LA!
        Good luck on the break!
        And yes, it’s interesting.   The PM just got interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg.   I don’t think I’ve heard so much stonewalling!   Or pausing: Harold Pinter did less pausing!

Double check yesters answers. I think the question master gave 1 lady 2 points too many.

Q1) Piano

Q2) The Washington Post

Q3) the Mini

Q4) Plantagenets

Q5) The Equator
Oh, I think arsenic has no taste, that is why it was so commonly used as a poison (for rats, and people, of course. Cianide is much faster but it tastes and smells of bitter almonds, so people are unlikely to eat it willingly or without suspicion. These days it is very easy too detect, and it is not very fast, so not that common). I think there is plenty of arsenic on the soil, as it has been used for a lot of things, and rice tends to absorb it better than most other plants (we all know how good rice is to dry things, including mobile phones and others, because it sucks the water up). Other kinds of rice, not white rice, are better from the point of view of sugar content, but I don't think that would make a difference to the arsenic... (The recommendation is to avoid it in children, as the amount needed to have nefarious effects would be much lower, especially in very young children).
Having worked in psychiatry I always think about Jo Brand, although she has a very personal style. I don't think it would work for me.
