American bacon needs to be crispy because there isn't any meat; just strips of vaguely bacon-flavoured fat.
British bacon (known as Danish bacon because that is where it is smoked even though the pigs are British) has more meat and so should not be over-cooked, or even very crispy. Very meaty, yum!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

very true, indeed. 
If one is lucky here in the States, some farms and local butchers will cut the bacon for you so that it is as you described - "meaty".

Imagine being at the siege of Rochester Castle; where they used some 40 pigs to burn through a mine shaft and bring down part of the castle. Everything's better with bacon.

I argued against the award but the rest of the panel accused me of using a straw man argument.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Shouldn't have won the award, he's a grumpy old cuss acts like he's got a straw up his ass.

I was testing a prototype board to find out where the fault was in it.
I narrowed it down through a combination of software checks and logic probes.
Everything was all well and good so I took a nap.
Apparently whilst napping, I finished up the work on that board. And then after I set it aside it started smoking.  
Then I woke up.
I'm glad I usually don't remember my dreams. Who needs that kind of stress?
Give me lunatic killers chasing me through the woods, ghosts, or whatever else, but don't mess with my work, dreams! That gets me.

My dreams I remember seem to be me being feckless and destroying equipment. That hardly seems inspiring.

Don't knock work-related dreams! Kekule supposedly realised that Benzene had its structure in a dream.
Benzene (C6H6) was assumed to have a structure of 6 carbon atoms in a row, with 6 hydrogen atoms. It should have been extremely active, because it has 14 valence electrons, but only 6 of them are bound. Kekule fell asleep on a carriage, and dreamed that the carbon atoms arranged themselves in a circle. This, of course, has properties that differ from those of a line of carbon atoms, It later turned out that his intuition was correct.

Regularly. And vivid dreams, that make you wonder whether it was real. And hence, coffee. Wake up, coffee and a smoke.

I think I prefer dreaming over being chased through a wood.

You know food had influence on your dreams? 
Maybe this helps, imagine falling when trying to sleep. That way, adrenaline is created and you won't sleep, so no bad dreams.
And yes, after reading this, there's a good chance you dream about falling.

I just discovered a driver in System32\drivers named spaceport.sys. Now that's a cool driver name.
I assume it's for the storage spaces feature.
