Sitting and Waving 2008-06-03 07:31:21 Independently they don't mean much. I've done my fair share of both with limited recognition (Year 3 waving runner-up) and it hasn't got me far. But I failed to grasp the bigger picture. Combine them! Like JD and coke, or Vodka and lemonade, or JD and Vodka, the real talent is in mixing them. Meet two men who define 'mixed up'.

Singularity - Special Report 2008-06-03 07:20:45 '...most mathematical philosophers conclude that all the brain’s functions, including consciousness, can be re-created in a machine. It’s a matter of time.'
It's the bright spark that thought to encase this machine in nuclear launching capable supertank that doomed us all. But hey, at least will live long enough to see it! Read more:Special

Beep, beep! 2008-06-10 07:03:09 'if all six billion people on earth used hand calculators and performed calculations 24 hours a day and seven days a week, it would take them 46 years to do what the Roadrunner can in one day.'
I feel so obsolete. I do own an anvil and a shit load of TNT though.
Mafia 1, Democracy 0 2008-06-10 04:22:18 You could say local officials are rubbish (dont think about this joke too much because it doesnt make sense). Not only did the mafia keep the streets clean of garbage, but they lowered the proportion of drug addicts and HIV sufferers too. Of Course, when I say 'lower the proportion of' I mean 'kill'.
Note: All above is unproven speculation and the author of which gives full support to any group w Read more:Mafia
Internet Addiction Nominated for Entry in the Manual of Mental Disorders 2008-06-13 04:35:20 Pretty sure I'm an addict, but who hasn't got their vices? Thinking about it I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to every single thing I do...Literally getting up early is the only thing that wouldn't cause an itch if I stopped doing it. Now pass me the bent spoon and lighter, I need to shoot me up some digg. Read more:Internet

"I was devastated. I was completely dumbfounded and shocked. I mean, I just witnessed my dog sucked up into a street sweeper." 2008-06-17 06:32:53 Also from the BBC: He said he had chased the truck for about two and a half blocks, shouting for the operator to stop.
The truck, he said, seemed to have been barrelling through the street at an unsafe speed.

We're not going to Norway, right? No? Good... 2008-06-27 08:51:11 It's not that I wouldn't love to get out on there (I'm pretty sure I'd be way too scared though)...its that I know I'd fall, and that wouldn't be cool.
"yeah the rock gave way under him..."
"what rock?"
"the one in Norway
...lodged between those two cliff faces, about 1000 meteres above ground."
"What the hell was doing stood on a rock lodged between two cliff faces?"
"Meh."

Oh shit. The Ninja is here. 2008-06-26 10:33:07 They all laughed when the principle insisted on an 'anti-ninja, defence reaction protocol', but the real threat of a ninja attack was brought into sharp focus after a near miss yesterday afternoon. 'We know the ninjas plan to attack us. But When? When!' the principle was heard to say. He continued,'I can't protect these kids from ninjas 24/7, but while their on my watch no harm will become them.' Read more:Ninja
Science fair experiments 2008-06-25 08:16:10 I wish we did these over here. I think I would've done something like "whats my dogs favorite color?" (pure genius, by the way, the dude has pie charts and everything) but more like "what IS that stuff that appears in my belly button? Answer: t-shirt cotton. Then the rest of the board would just be SNES game passwords I would've gotten with the rest of my "science time" (they look like formulae, a Read more:Science

UFO's in Bristol, we're all gonna die! 2008-06-24 10:17:11 The weird thing is I read this not too long ago, also about UFOs. I'm trying to remember where Dave was exactly at these dates... Read more:Bristol

Google earth + Facebook + Rich people near you = (poolside) win 2008-06-19 06:15:21 "I have no idea how they know we've got a pool darling, maybe they use satellites or something.."
"Oh yeah sure Jim, teenagers have access to free, incredibly detailed, extremely recent satellite photography of our house, no scrap that, they have if of the whole world, and maybe they've got some sort of street view in certain American cities.

China prepares for Olympics with surface-to-air missile launchers and flamethrowers 2008-07-11 07:57:18 Because nothing tell the world 'We've got things under control' more than setting a few trouble makers (and those in close proximity) on fire.
Mainly posted because of the awesomeness of this site. Worth checking the back entries. They're all good, some amazing. Talking like a robot is fun. No concept of self. Beep. Read more:China

"I think in football there is too much modern slavery" - Sepp Blatter 2008-07-11 04:01:32 Yep just like the olden days. All those slaves, walking around, getting paid more money in one week than most of us will see in our entire lives, to do something they love, with the devoted backing of literally millions of fans, with huge companies bombarding them with yet more obscene amounts of money, all whilst being surrounded by many many beautiful women, while being backed up by a team of pe Read more:think
UFO follow up 2008-07-09 08:17:45 If you've got a couple of minutes perhaps you could find out what it is? It's been there at least half an hour and it's still there.
He also called in about 'sky leaking', the night/day buttons in his rooms and this clear 'force field' that stopped him leaving through the holes in his house.
You know you might have an internet addiction problem when.... 2008-07-09 06:44:35 You new-tab click on so many digg links that by the time you start looking at them you've forgotten what the hell some of them are about. Real life example: An australian phone companies home page, no idea. Here's one I did remember though, ace. I wonder how many secretly happy rednecks there were in the audience. Read more:addiction
World's most traveled people 2008-07-07 04:30:21 When I first saw this site I thought 'Ha, they are treating countries like Pokemon!'. Now I am slamming my head against my desk repeatedly. I say we join the race. Preferably whilst solving crimes with my monkey sidekick but then again, being over 600 countries behind, should probably just get moving. Read more:World

Foot geeks, feet looks 2008-07-01 05:12:16 There once was a guy named Saul
He required his shoes to look cool
Not being too clever
He tied them together
And broke his arm in the consequent fall
(sorry, couldn't resist. Gonna get me some checkerboard.)
Talking to yourself is crazy. Blogging to yourself? That must be pooping-down-the-chimney-crazy... 2008-07-24 08:47:20 We're down 50% of viewers, seriously. Maybe they all went traveling too...
Anyway, just some regular internet stuff, condensed into one long post for when you're back to "work". Here goes:

The Weirdest Buildings in Japan 2008-07-18 06:08:41 If ever there was a combination of words to make me click on a link, this is it. If it only ended '... to be built by a drunk monkey genius' then it would have been perfect. Altough I'd then want to add '...whilst fighting philisophical quoting robots who have lasers for teeth'. Altough this leaves me concerned for the fate of the drunk monkey genius... It's gonna have to end 'but are weak when fa Read more:Buildings

Website proves I'm not human, head explodes. 2008-07-16 07:45:16 Captcha is dead, but surely if a computer can read characters, it can't be long before it can add them together too. The best captcha I've seen is "Is this a picture of a dog cat or mouse?" Helping stop spam whilst looking at lolcats? WANT. ( I nearly went with: "I CAN HAZ SEKUR BOTZ DETEKTOR?", glad I didn't.)
