Cool people to follow on twitter (part 1)

From time to time on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, I occasionally plug my twitter account which is @CFudgemuffin. However, this week I'm not plugging my own twitter account (which, in case you've forgotten, is @CFudgemuffin), but instead I'm plugging another really cool twitter account which is definitely worth a follow.

The twitter account in question belongs to James Fridman (@fjamie013), and basically how it works is that people send him requests to photoshop their photos for them. However, James never quite interprets their request the way it was specifically intended, with amusing results.

Here are a few examples...

1) "Take out the broom."


To start things off, here's a photo with a typically silly misunderstanding!

Sans broom.

10 romance themed jokes for Valentine's Day

Next week sees the release of my latest short story, 'A Love Story: A Coward's Tale'. As the name suggests, it's a story on the theme of romance, so sticking with the theme of love, this week's blog post features a collection of romance themed jokes...

Wow! What a surprise!
1) How do circus tightrope performers find romance?
Online dating.



2) I told my girlfriend she was drawing her eyebrows on too high.
She looked surprised.



3) After several months, I finally told my hot co-worker how I felt, and it turns out she felt the same way!
So we turned the air-conditioning on.

Confusing perspective (animal edition)

I've featured photos featuring a confusing perspective before on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, and this week I once again feature another batch of photos which, on closer inspection, may not be quite what they seem...

1) Attack of the giant pigeons


To start things off, here are two giant pigeons looking for their cars...

"Hmm, now where did we park the car again?"

A light-hearted look at advertising

Usually companies have to pay for advertising, but this week I've going to give a few companies free advertising! Their adverts were so noteworthy that they deserve to be seen or mentioned for free!

The most effective way to advertise.

1) Dubious claims


In their latest TV advert, Vistaprint promote their business cards by claiming, 'there's no better way to advertise your business'.

Well if that's the case, then why are Vistaprint advertising on TV, rather than on their own business cards? Hmm...

Things that unintentionally made me laugh (part 1: 'Cute' dog names)

A cute dog, but what cute name can we give him?
This week's blog post focuses on a random website I came across one day which unintentionally made me laugh. To further explain, the website wasn't supposed to be funny, but my easily amused brain nevertheless found it very amusing.

The website in question was a website called 'Cute Dog Names', and as you might have already guessed, it's a website which generates a random selection of cute dog names for anyone looking for a cute name for their new puppy. It sounds like a cool idea, but I have to say, the website's idea of a cute dog name, and my idea of a cute dog name, are somewhat different.

To illustrate what I mean, take a look at some of the allegedly 'cute' dog names it suggested...

The weird and wonderful world of Google

It's incredible to think that as recently as 1997, Google didn't even exist! Nowadays pretty much everyone has heard of Google, so this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog takes a look at the weird and wonderful world of Google!


1) Strange maths


To start things off, here's one question where I'm not convinced that Google is telling the truth...

A surprisingly heavy pound of water!

According to Google, a pound a water weighs 8.36 pounds!

Silly tautologies (part 2)

When I'm feeling lazy I often use stuff left-over from a previous blog post in a follow up post, and this week is one of those weeks as I take another look at silly tautologies!

In summary, I've summarised the report in a short
summary comprising these five volumes.
As fans of tautologies will know, a tautology is when you use needless repetition of a word or phrase in an unnecessarily repetitive manner.

Here are a few more examples...

1) Short summary


A short summary? Surely all summaries are short?

If it was a long summary then it wouldn't be a summary!
