Jesus Notes: I’ve written what may be the worlds nerdiest joke. A joke so dweebish, it was necessary to learn the mathematical scripting language Latex in order to tell it. There follows the joke. Renowned expert Doctor Scientist has developed a methodology to precisely calculate the duration required to return to a base level of [...]
Previously on Dublin Sex Man: Part 1, Part 2 Monday 8PM Working on Capel St. It’s not so bad, we get a staff discount – 30% on toys, 17% on porno. Feel a bit like that young one with the cancer in Fight Club, ‘I have lubricants and sex aids, but can’t find anyone to [...]
There exists a certain character that I, in my capacities as a scientist, and you The Simple Students of Ireland, are well acquainted with. Heading home to Laois, Maynooth or Skibbereen on the Bus Eireann, and not too fancy for it, thank you very much, one regularly encounters this nefarious individual. Indeed it must be [...]

Certain threads run through the posters [...]

Controversial boom time poster child O’Leary has been rapped in the past for his airline’s bullying staff, it’s tight arsed baggage fees, and it’s crude and bawdy adverts – but the new plan, which sets a price for the [...]
Something interesting is going on over at United Minds.ie. Ross O’Mullane, a candidate with no previous political experience, is running in the Dublin South constituency on a direct democracy ticket. With only two days to the June 5th elections, a candidate is standing in an Irish by election, on a platform radically opposed to representative [...]
Ah, the genius of IMDB, or to be more specific, the ingenius trolling which goes on on the fora of the world famous film database. Everybody loves a good troll, a subtle, ideally undetectably ironic, undermining of the principles of sanity and civil discourse, for the purposes of cruel entertainment. A good troll does not [...]

This magazine is almost a week old, so the time seems right to address the great big Fianna fail elephant in the room. The provocation that lead to us putting this project together. Last week I attended a meeting of ‘Blasphemy Ireland‘. I’d been incensed by media reports of Dermot Ahern’s (Irish Minister for Justice, [...]
