`Felice Varini paints (lines, concentric circles, triangles) on things (tunnels, castles, groovy interiors). A seemingly random smattering of elements that, viewed from a specific point in space, coalesce into a tangible planar element.’
I want some of these painted in my house. 🙂 Very cool.
`A man searching for change head first in a Sydney stormwater drain is lucky to be alive after being hit by a 4WD.
The man, 35, suffered a broken pelvis and possible internal injuries as his legs protruded from the drain in Pelican Street at 11.40am yesterday. [..]
Police say he had removed a cover from the drain and was trying to retrieve change when he was hit by a Ford Territory turning into the street from Oxford Street.’
`A U.S. helicopter went down north of Baghdad on Monday, a U.S. military official said.
The official said the helicopter usually has a two-person crew and was being used by the U.S. Army’s Task Force Iron Horse.
The Army of Mujahideen posted an internet statement with a video in which they claimed to have shot down the Apache. This claim could not be verified.’

Hilarious forum thread.
Everyone couple of pages this guy posts more pictures of him and his friends. As if the first one isn’t enough. You’ll see what I mean. 🙂
.. I’ve been reading the thread on and off for the past few hours now. It just gets funnier and funnier. These guys are the biggest tools ever. It’s amazing.

`One of the last bastions of revolutionary socialism, Cuba is to switch all its computers over to Linux to counter the influence of the Evil Capitalistic American lackey Microsoft.
According to the government daily, Juventud Rebelde, Roberto del Puerto, director of the state office of information technology, said his office was working on a legal framework that would allow the replacement of Windows through-out Cuba.’
`Japanese-style dining-table with chairs that can all be packed in a box.
Birch Plywood reinforced with carbonfibre. Neoprene rubber seat-padding. Table doubles as coffee-table.’
Kinda cool, as far as tables go. 🙂
`A woman accused of slashing her neighbor’s pregnant belly to steal the fetus will seek an insanity defense, her attorney said in court documents.
Attorney David DeFazio said his client Peggy Jo Conner suffers from “severe mental disorders, including but not limited to psychosis and schizophrenia” and that an insanity defense would be offered.’
You don’t say..
`When the stress of the war in Iraq becomes too severe, the Pentagon has a suggestion for military families: Learn how to laugh.
With help from the Pentagon’s chief laughter instructor, families of National Guard members are learning to walk like a penguin, laugh like a lion and blurt “ha, ha, hee, hee and ho, ho.”
No joke.
“I laugh every chance I get,” says the instructor, retired Army colonel James “Scotty” Scott. “That’s why I’m blessed to be at the Pentagon, where we definitely need a lot of laughter in our lives.”‘
I once had to go to a team building day where we had to force laughter. It was stupid.
`WARNING! These images are graphic, not suitable for kids and vegetarians! [..]
I do not personally condone cruelty to animal (any animal), and these photos are not for promoting the asian tradition of eating dog. But do you really think that eating a dog is worse than eating a cow, a pig, a lamb or a chichen?
Yes, In the U.S., people get prison terms for what Asians do to dogs. But in India, people also get jailed for what Westerners do to cows.’
`Automatic Camera situated 7 miles from blast with 10 foot lens. Shutter speed equaled 1/1000,000,000 of-a-second exposure. [..]
Note: the electric like energy that runs down the towers guide wires.’
`You get in the cab, settle back and expect to reach your destination without hassle.
You would not expect to be:
Told off.
Stranded on the road shoulder of an expressway.
Made to feel trapped in the dark and in the rain.
Told about your impending death at the hands of the cabby.
This is allegedly what happened to a couple in their 50s. [..]
According to the couple, he used the auto-close door system to close the door on them when they tried opening it. This happened four times.
The couple claimed he then said: ‘If I step on the pedal, all three of us will die together.”
`How often have we seen Superman fly down and pull a car up by the roof into the sky? In the real world, there are few vehicles that would even hold together if Superman yanked them up by the roof. The car would probably continue forward, with the roof ripped off and held by Superman. Every time Superman lifts a building into the air, why don’t all the bricks, held together by cement and pressure, suddenly start falling apart? Those are the types of ordinary problems that seem never to occur in any superhero adventures. Basically, superheroes perform super acts and the logic squad cleans up afterwards.’
`By a margin of 52% to 43%, Americans want Congress to consider impeaching President Bush if he wiretapped American citizens without a judge’s approval, according to a new poll commissioned by AfterDowningStreet.org, a grassroots coalition that supports a Congressional investigation of President Bush’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003. [..]
The poll found that 52% agreed with the statement:
“If President Bush wiretapped American citizens without the approval of a judge, do you agree or disagree that Congress should consider holding him accountable through impeachment.”‘
‘If popular culture has taught us anything, it is that someday mankind must face and destroy the growing robot menace.
In print and on the big screen we have been deluged with scenarios of robot malfunction, misuse, and outright rebellion. Robots have descended on us from outer space, escaped from top-secret laboratories, and even traveled back in time to destroy us.
Today, scientists are working hard to bring these artificial creations to life. In Japan, fuzzy little real robots are delivering much appreciated hug therapy to the elderly. Children are frolicking with smiling robot toys.
It all seems so innocuous. And yet how could so many Hollywood scripts be wrong?’
`My female housemate is named Snoopy. She’s a five-year-old black domestic cat.
Yes, my cat watches High-Definition TV.
In fact, she will watch for 20 minutes at a time, particularly if the show features birds, fish or animals. If she sees a bird flying on a high-def channel, she will crouch down in the attacker stance as if the winged creature was right in front of her.
The high-def picture is so clear and life-like that Snoopy apparently thinks it’s real.’
`For these stories we give the original 1884 text of Margaret Hunt, by all accounts a good translation, if somewhat old-fashioned by present-day standards. Hunt is based on the last revised edition of the Grimms tales. This electronic text follows Hunt as faithfully as possible and is, so far as we know, the only internet version to do so.’
`Marijuana, cocaine and narcotics began disappearing from the evidence room, and police say they’ve found the culprit — rats.
About a month ago, North Port Police Department evidence and property technician Pamela Schmidt picked up a bag and noticed that it looked like it had been chewed through, said Capt. Robert Estrada. [..]
Estrada said some narcotics and marijuana were eaten by the rats, but did not know how much was eaten.’
`A man who bit off part of his girlfriend’s face and spit it out on the sidewalk was convicted of assault.
Gareth Whyte’s lawyer contended prosecutors could not prove his girlfriend was seriously injured or disfigured. But the prosecutor argued Whyte should not get a break just because the woman had a talented plastic surgeon.
“I’ll agree the defendant is not guilty when he can put this back,” said prosecutor Heide Mason, holding up a jar containing the girlfriend’s flesh.’
`A map due to be unveiled in Beijing and London next week may lend weight to a theory a Chinese admiral discovered America before Christopher Columbus.
The map, which shows North and South America, apparently states that it is a 1763 copy of another map made in 1418.
If true, it could imply Chinese mariners discovered and mapped America decades before Columbus’ 1492 arrival.’
`Back in 1985, hard drives were gigantic and not to mention insanely expensive (40MB/$40,000) as shown in the above image. That was coincidentally the same year Microsoft released Windows 1.0 which sold for $100 ($177.47 with inflation) a piece. I like how the display behind it has a huge magnifying glass that almost makes you think hard drives now days (2006) are microscopic which they really aren’t…yet.’
`A secondary school has been shut while police hunt for a man believed to be hiding in the ceiling cavities. [..]
The south-east London school will be shut until next week. Year 11 students will study for their GCSEs in a building the man has not accessed. [..]
He added that the only description they have of the man is that he is black.’
`Larry sent Ilsa elaborate bouquets of flowers and bought her books, clothes and shoes. Ilsa would stay up late at night, researching Larry’s history on the Internet. According to Buck, Ilsa offered Larry free bondage sessions that would sometimes last overnight, forgoing thousands of dollars in income and raising Buck’s ire and suspicions. Within two weeks of meeting Larry, friends say, Ilsa seemed a changed woman.
In time, she flew to Australia, in first class, to be with Larry on location for the two Matrix sequels, for weeks at a time. “Larry would pick her up at the airport dressed as ‘Lana,'” a friend recalls. “He would get depressed and moody when he had to go to the set dressed as a man.”‘
`The National Security Agency advised President Bush in early 2001 that it had been eavesdropping on Americans during the course of its work monitoring suspected terrorists and foreigners believed to have ties to terrorist groups, according to a declassified document.
The NSA’s vast data-mining activities began shortly after Bush was sworn in as president and the document contradicts his assertion that the 9/11 attacks prompted him to take the unprecedented step of signing a secret executive order authorizing the NSA to monitor a select number of American citizens thought to have ties to terrorist groups.’
This is the Tsar Bomba, a 50MT thermonuclear weapon.

`What exactly is it about Hollywood and fame that gets into people’s heads? What is it that penetrates into the minds of performers and makes them feel omnipotent? Make them believe they are all powerful and knowing and that everything they touch will turn to gold? Is it the mandatory narcissistic obsession that comes with being a star? Is it the constant exposure to drugs and alcohol? Is it the close proximity of greasy executive and slimy producers who are out to exploit anyone and everyone to make a buck?
We are not sure, we’ll let you be the judge as to the drives and/or motivations behind the current list of nominees for the Fade To Black Rock & Roll Hall of Shame. So crank up the volume and prepare to listen to your favorite Rock & Roll classics sung by the likes of Andy Griffith, Pat Boone, Leonard Nimoy and more!’
`Latin crooner Ricky Martin has expressed outrage over a controversy that emerged after he told a leading US music magazine he enjoyed “golden showers” – the act of urinating on another person. [..]
“I love giving the golden shower,” he told Blender magazine. “I’ve done it before in the shower. It’s like so sexy, you know, the temperature of your body and the shower water is very different.”‘
