Our favourite tweets of yours
On Twitter Derren asked “Tell me something genuinely funny you were doing when you were ten” – below is our favourites that really made us chuckle.
At 10 a piece of broken pencil lead with bit of wood attached appeared in my mouth. I had jabbed it in my cheek when 5.
sent ‘test’ as a test sms to my 10yr old son’s phone. Instant response – ‘icles’.
Cryied because my brother stuck national spastic society stickers all over my wardrobe and room and couldn’t get them off.
The truth behind predicting the lottery numbers revealed
Finally we can exclusively reveal the truth behind “how Derren Brown predicted the lottery”.
The answer is: Sealions.
As the Telegraph reported “Brown, famed for his ability to read minds, has tapped into the subconscious of two sealions who have been trained to pick the lottery numbers from the bottom of a swimming pool at Knowsley Safari Park.”
We can now confirm this as TRUE, and anyone who doesn’t buy this is a spoilsport and is not invited to the secret party.
Next week Derren will be predicting the winner of the Grand National using a team of highly trained monkeys that have perfected the art of sculpting their poop in to letters which they then fling at passing vehicles.
Derren Brown – The Science of Scams
“When he’s done with this whole Events business, Channel 4 has announced that Derren Brown will be part of a new web series entitled, The Science of Scams. Each episode will feature Brown and scientist Kat Akingbade debunking paranormal and psychic phenomenon.
Each episode of Science of Scams will feature a hoax film that appears to show unexplained activity such as ghosts, chi energy or telekinesis.
Brown will introduce each spoof video in the manner of Rod Serling’s introductions for The Twilight Zone, while Akingbade will demonstrate the science behind the phenomena.
The series will appear on it’s own dedicated site as well as the Channel 4’s YouTube channel. Sounds like a fun time.”
Errrrrrrrrrgh!
I know Derren Tweeted this but if you haven’t got Twitter you really shouldn’t see this!
This, a horrible looking sea-dwelling parasite attacks fish, burrows into it, and then devours its tongue.

Watched the show last night – and the response was been overwhelmingly positive: 75% luvvin’ it, 15% happy but confused (Derren likes that part), and 10% hating it and shouty. With apologies from DB to that 10%, we now move to Week Two. Enjoy.
Derren Brown fans rampant internet campaign continues
Wednesday night a few million of you decided to clog up the internet. Several computers caught fire, nerves were frayed and big hosting companies made promised that were broken. Even the Ch4 DB site went down and they have huge clusters. You lot should be ashamed.
However we managed 3 of the top WORLD twitter trends, the “Derren Brown Lottery Prediction” site shot in to the top 20 wordpress sites within a few hours and we even made Australian news (Hello Oz! *waves* We love you but we’re not giving Tim Minchin back so forget about it!).
We gained an extra 10k followers on facebook and similar amounts on twitter overnight and a whole bunch decided to email asking for “how it was done”. Now… seriously? and even more told us how DB has OBVIOUSLY done it and that we are “stupid”. Well we shall see…!
And so the several hosting companies we’ve gone to have said they have “never seen anything like it” but we’re working 24/7 on a solution to the problem of CPU usage bottling out the site.
I’m sure some genius amongst you all out there will come forward and tell us how to stop wordpress being a gargantuan memory hog or to use a hosting company that can handle 100k+ people all bombarding the site in one hour and we are very happy for you to contact us so that Abeo can finally get some sleep. Your suggestions are very welcome – from cloud hosting to grid servers we’ve tried them all but maybe you know better.
Thanks for all the lovely support too – I want to lick and touch you all.
