Thought this would be a good thread....may be breaking several copywrite laws but thats half the fun of it. :suspicious:

For Christmas i recieved the Benrik Diary. Its basically a big yellow diary that states that it can change your life. It has a page for every day of the year and on each page you are given a task to do that day. The idea is that at the end of the year, the result of completeing the majority of the tasks will have changed your life....for the good i hope. They have a webiste that you can explore and somedays is needed in order to complete your task. This Website Will Change Your Life (http://www.thiswebsitewillchangeyourlife.com)

Some examples of the tasks that are set -

Friday the 8th of January - Do Something before breakfast today - Get up before 5 am and do any of the following or more:- Watch the sunrise/Phone a friend and ask them why there not up/find out what's on TV this hour/Go for a short run/Milk a cow etc

Tuesday the 19th of Febuary - Today, apply for a knighthood. Write to the british prime minister at the following address (they have the actual address in the diary) and explain to him what exceptional achievemnt or service you feel you have completed in order to recieve a knighthood.

Monday the 13th of September - Today leave a note on someones car windshield - Examples of notes can be -
"We've discovered your car is the one responsible for destroying the OZone layer. Please get rid of it and bike to work everyday. thank you."

or

"Ive left someone in your boot. I'll pick them up next week if that's ok."

or even

"I'm the engineer who made this wehicle. the brakes arn't very good becuase i was hungover that day. So watch out."

So thats just a small small taste of some of the tasks. Has anyone else got this diary? Is anyone else performing the tasks?
Ive done most of them now. I had to write a letter to a serial killer the other day. And yesterday i had to pretend to be a Private Detective, that was fun. Today i had to write a line of poetry and submit it to this website to produce the longest poem ever. Have a look Here (http://www.thiswebsitewillchangeyourlife.com/poetry/). Its pretty long so far.

So basically the idea of this thread is to write about your experiences of the diary so far, and if you havnt got it, do the diary entries with me! :D If this is a bit geeky and no-one really wants to change their lives i apologise profusely for ever creating this thread.

So todays task is -

Tuesday the 20th of Febuary - Submit a line of poetry to the above website rhyming with the first line of the poem which is "Mercy! Cried the popinjay to the pope!". The end result should be the lonsget poem in the world. Good Luck :)

Congratulations on comploeteing the task. I hope you feel better than the day before.

(P.S Thanx for clearing that up Slay, and Sunfrog, continue with the diary and your transformation will be complete...i think you turn into something purple but im not sure what.)

Todays Task -

Wednesday the 21st of January - Patriotism Day! - Choose a country that you know of, any country at all then think of their pro's and their Con's and be patriotic to them for the day! A country is of ones soil, one's blood and one's roots - now choose your country!

I chose Germany. They get a lot of Flack about all that Nazi stuff. SO i have embraced the well known, (and probably quite insulting) stereotypes and spent the day eating sausages and feeling horny.

I don't know a thing about Canada so I'll choose them.

O' Canada~
Land of fluffy snow~

O' Canada~
Where's it's always 10° below~

I'd shine your hairless head~
I'd tuck you into bed~
I'd paint my monkey red~

For Ol' Canada~
land from up above, land that I do love~
O' Canadaaa~

You are taking orders from a diary and writing to serial killers?

Don't you know these people sometimes write to serial killers who aren't in prison and tell them to off someone who's free?

Maybe I'll be talking to you in The MoFo Ouija Board thread soon....

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT :furious:........That is fine :) . The Diary allows you to quit. Myself on the other hand are under the almighty power of the diary.

I did think twice about posting todays one though. its a bit far to go. Tomorrow it suggests visiting a plastic surgeons and finding out what plastic surgery you should have to improve your face. Im not sure if i wanna know! Dont think ill be doing that. From now on ill just post the good ones, not the hard ones.

I watched a show on the Heath channel about this girl who wanted to go from C's to D's yesterday. I think she's pretty hot the way she is now. D's is just too much. On my head I would like smaller ears, if that's possible.

What's today's say?

Actually my good buddy Peter Sutcliffe only eats women and fat people so i think ive got nothing to worry about.....and his penmanship and punctuation is a delight to read, so anyone who writes that good can't possibly think about getting me in the night whilst i sleep....and if he does, ill come find you SC and bite you on the ass.

Tuesday the 10th of Febuary - Tonight control your dreams.

Freud postulated that our dreams are essentially the recombined elements of things that have affected us during the day. Today think very hard about three things and see if they crop up in your dreams.

Try thinking about these three things -

A Hedgehog

Wednesday the 11th of Febuary - Today play a practical joke
Simple as that really. Everyone likes a good practical joke so why dont you try one of the following today?

Stick a "kick me" sign on someones back
Superglue a coin to the pavement and watch people try and pick it up.
Light a paper bag full of dog poop on someones door step.
Fill the sugar bowl with salt
Pour a bucket of Sulphuric Acid over someones head outside your window.
Warning: Last practical joke could result in prison sentence

Give them a go.

I live in a 30story complex so I printed out 30 sheets of paper reading


WARNING!!! THIS ELEVATOR IS UNSAFE
It has come to our notice that this particular elevator has been having power problems. It may stall at any time and the ventilation system may fail which can be dangerous to your health. The OTIS has been notified, we apologize for any inconvience

along with letter head, the building's phone numbers and a signature (which isn't really nothing more than scribbling) to match.

Naturally these pieces of paper were attached to every corresponding elevator door.
