    For your emergency services, dial 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3. It's very easy to remember!

    Utrecht was at a temperature somewhere beyond the "Planck Temperature", and therefore conventional quantum (or other) physics is unable to describe what it was like. Can anyone who has been to Utrecht describe it?

    It's curious how all these numbers like this are in Reading.

    Obviously the thermostat caught the instant that a baby universe spawned its own big bang.

    I've see the upside-down text problem. Submitted it to Apple, I thought I submitted it to TDWTF a year or two ago. I am at a complete loss as to how this bug could ever happen. Unless this is the localized New Zealand version given out by mistake.

    Negation in the vertical component of the transformation matrix (because the Apple graphics ecosystem is rather nice that way; much nicer than the mess that you have on Windows). Or multiple application of a vertically-inverting transformation matrix; I can't remember how many times they're needed.

    Why they're getting this wrong… that's the real mystery.

    Vochtig -> moisture. That "Toon" device is a "smart" meter many Dutch get with their contact from their utility company...
