Introduction by Matt Wardman
At The Wardman Wire we will be publishing a series of articles about the Von Hugel Institute Centre for the Study of Faith in Society report "Moral, but No Compass". Over the next several weeks, we will be publishing a number of articles - hopefully from a range of viewpoints - aiming to get beyond the initial reactions which many commentators have felt obliged to com

Google has implemented a new feature which enables you to type a telephone number into the search bar and hit enter, and you will be given the person’s name and address. If you then hit MapQuest, you will get a map to the person’s house. Everyone should be aware of this! It’s a [...]

Next up for actress Natalie Portman - a public service announcement encouraging people to vote. The 26-year-old actress is on the Internet in a 30-second public service announcement in which she says, "Voting's how our democracy works."
The spot is non-partisan and unaffiliated with the presidential election. Portman's announcement focuses on the importance of participating in the democratic

Ok, so maybe this is a little presumptuous of me - but this is a little heads up that Quirk Cape Town will be downing-tools today at 3pm for a much needed end of year celebration. Not to worry though, we'll be 100% back on form first thing Monday (bar the bruised egos and incriminating photos).
To see what we got up to last year watch the short vid below:

Guys, this is it!And you will definitely love this...but how far can one go without using their brainy shit???...or in this case, their poopy brain???As Ben Franklin said:In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there isbacteria.In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstratedthat if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbedmore than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in faeces.In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum,whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purificationprocess of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = HealthTherefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink waterand be full of shit.There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it asa public service.API Indonesia
Just a Reminder From Your Staff at Goldmind's Unwind!Remember that Friday is Mother in Law Round up!The Salivation Army wants to remind you that it's that time of year again. The holidays are rapidly approaching and that means the needs of the many must once again be sated by the wealth of the few. Just remember, ladies and gentleman, billions of people the world over have been left to toil without a mother in law of their own. This is the perfect opportunity for you to donate yours so that the voids in their lives are filled. Just think of the Christmas joy you'll provide to some poor third world family when your mother in law is delivered to them in a specially gift wrapped cage!*Just leave mother in law at your curb, fully incapacitated, by 9 AM friday. Please also provide one box of oatmeal for sustenance. Salivation Army is not responsible for damage during shipment. Mother in law donations are not deductible for federal or state income tax purposes and cannot be used as net o
Dear Dogs and Cats,The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleepperpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm. For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathro
If you are by chance, say, writing a piece for Scribbit's October Write Away Contest, and the subject happens to be "Things that Scare Me"...may I suggest that you NOT write it at 2:46 in the morning when everyone else is asleep in the house, or you might just scare yourself so well that you won't be able to move from the safety of the computer desk? Funny how you never really notice the sounds your house makes until you get scared and then every. single. little. sound. is magnified and is probably a boogie monster waiting to reach out from under your bed and grab your feet. Oh quit laughing at me. You know boogie monsters exist. And I'm afraid of the dark, too. So there. Technorati Tags: spooky, write away contest, Texas
For those who did not know and do care, the "Do Not Call" list of phone numbers that telemarketers have to consult and avoid is not a permanent list. When (if) you signed up, if was to be on the list for five (5) years; since the list is now five years old, the earliest adopters are about to be dropped from the list. If you wish to register for the first time or renew your phone number's presence on the "Do Not Call" list, you can register on-line at https://www.donotcall.gov. It may take as much as a month or two before the calls stop (as the companies only have to update lists monthly) but before long there will be more silence in the house. But, if you're really lonely and just want someone to talk to, don't sign up and chat away with the telemarketers - you have my permission.In a related note, did you know that a similar list exists for credit card and insurance applications? Well, it does! It is not as thorough as the "Do Not Call" list, and only covers companies who get their
I just don't think that's the law in Kansas. California, maybe. In Oklahoma, a custodial parent is entitled to the earnings of the child and I just don't think a bordering state where a lot of kids work on the family farm would be much different. Maybe the judge went to law school in California. In any event, kids should hold off on pulling this stunt until they run it past a local attorney.But, while I have your attention, who is that guy with the orange suit sitting in front of the Judge's bench and staring lecherously at Superboy? He doesn't seem to have any court function, so I'm thinking he's the local creepy guy who has to sit where the Judge can keep an eye on him so he isn't caught helping students adjust their athletic supporters at football practice....Dang, I almost took the high road for a minute.

The following is a public service announcement. It may or may not apply to you.Disciplining your children is the right thing to do. I don't care what method of discipline you use (just don't beat up on the kids please), but make sure it is effective and you do it consistently.Some of your children may as well have been extras in "The Children of the Corn". Does the name Damien mean anything to you? Yes, your children. Your adorable little progeny can make Satan himself say "damn, you got some bad azz kids".There was no need for little Billy to be rummaging around in my shopping cart at the grocery store yesterday. When I asked him to stop, he looked at me like I was a mosquito annoying him. He's too young to be able to give that look to people. Then he had the nerve to take MY stuff out of MY cart and put it on the floor. I got rude then, and he just looked at me like "ok, aaannndd?". That's not cute, people. His azz needs some kind of discipline. When I was that age, my mother had
A reporter returns to his college fraternity to find knee-slapping reminiscing and what-were-we-thinking introspection.Oxford, Ohio - In a creaky back lunchroom of the Phi Gamma Delta house, a gaggle of graying baby boomers is reminiscing about college frat days. As one story rolls off the lips of a 1973 grad, Dwight Ritter, the intervening decades seem to evaporate:"The Pi Kappa Alpha fire engine kept being stolen off their front lawn, and the chapter president made me swear to help him find and prosecute every last perp," recalls Mr. Ritter, now a San Diego lawyer. "I came back to the Phi Gamma Delta house and [brother] Scott Sedam told me, 'Dwight, you shoulda been there. A bunch of us stole the Pike fire engine last night.'"And so the laughter swells and the yarns continue – apocryphal, embellished, or exactly-as-it-really-happened, no one knows for sure. The gathering is the 50th anniversary of a particular fraternity (Phi Gamma Delta/Fiji) on a particular campus (Miami Univer
HillaryClinton.com released a new video of President Clinton speaking on behalf of Senator Clinton. In the video he gives a history of her past civil service working for the Children’s Defense Fund after law school through her service as a Senator. She spent time as a legal aide for low-income individuals and campaigned to provide health care for all Americans while first lady. President Clinton tries to portray a side of Hillary that people do not yet know about her. The Clinton campaign has been trying to show a different side of the Senator and former first lady because of polls that show Hillary Clinton does not have a favorable rating among potential voters. Former President Clinton has been called out even more since Barack Obama has been giving her campaign more of a challenge than they initially expected. Hillary Clinton’s husband is a major asset to the campaign and will be an important part of the 2008 primary campaign if not the general election.

To all the sexy ladies out there, I am taking this post to give you all a few words of advice. Please, stay away from plastic surgery and be sure to feed yourself, okay? As you can see above and in previous posts I’ve made, plastic surgery and starvation will eventually make you look a hot mess.
Public Service Ads are out of control!
As mentioned in my previous article, Successful Affiliate Campaign, Google Adsense is an excellent way to monetize your site IF you know how it works. Unfortunately most web owners have not the slightest clue how Google Ads truly work.
When Google places advertisements on your site they try to match the advertisers to your content. However, many times
