Other information
Mike can close his nose without touching it, which makes him fart-proof. He eats at least forty times his own body weight every century, is a part-time volunteer in the Lynne Truss militia, and loves skunks, his son and longevity research - but not in that order. Give him an inch and he takes a mile. Give him a pinch and he makes a pile. He is a full-time sceptic, part-time father, one-time rock star and all-time champion awful punster.

Long-term intentions
- Earn the Origin geohash achievement by visiting 1965-05-06 51 0 in a field near Chelmsford
- Earn various Displaced origin geohash achievements (some of these are rather ambitious, I'll admit!)
- 1965-05-06 51 -3 - actually on a green on the Aberdare golf course near Cardiff in Wales :)
- 1965-05-06 52 0 - marginally within somebody's front garden, but I could wangle it, I'm sure.
- 1965-05-06 53 -1 - next to a canal and theM62 near Sheffield. Sounds inaccessible, but satellite imagery makes it look relatively easy.
- 1965-05-06 39 3 - very accessible as it is right next to a road... but it's on Mallorca.
- 1965-05-06 20 -156 - Maui - therefore expensive to get to. But just a short walk into the hills...
- Leave a variety of unusual xkcd signs
- One made out of ants (Oh yeah!)
- One that can only be seen from the right angle (like the Channel 4 logos on TV)
- One in ASCII binary (probably already been done)
- One in Morse code (ditto)
- One in Braille
- Collar someone with a boat and do a Water geohash, probably in the Solent, or the river Itchen or Hamble.

2009-07-17 Couch Potato...
I have just worked out that at my latitude of 50 degrees, assuming my house includes its land area of about 30x40m, there is a 1 in 6.7 million chance of getting a couch potato award on a given day. Not good odds, though admittedly a little better than the Lotto jackpot :|
