Today is a strange day. Today is the sort of day where I need two strong cups of black coffee, just to function. (The lady in the coffee shop here starts making me a strong, black Americano as soon as she spots me in the queue.) Today is the sort of day where I find myself linking to *The Sun*.

Why? Because [Jeremy Clarkson’s account of his collegue Richard Hammond’s recovery](http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006440317,00.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) from an insanely high-speed car crash is a work of pure genius:

> In the wee small hours of Thursday night, just 30 hours after what is almost certainly the world�s fastest ever car crash, Richard Hammond suddenly sat up in bed, opened his eyes and asked what had happened.
> 
> �You�ve been in a car accident,� I said. �Was I driving like a tw\*t?� he asked, before getting out of bed and walking, shakily, to the lavatory.

Go on, read the rest.
