Ballet dancers perform to the Pixies

If you don't like ballet, it helps to remember that no matter how light you are, standing on the very tips of your toes is remarkably painful. That's some serious discipline.

Blackwater beefs up air power, using name of obscure company

April 9, 2008 8:04am

I'm sorry to step on anyone's tinfoil hats but from this article it doesn't really look like they're beefing up their air power.

The Super Tucano is a training aircraft. It's a lot like a Cessna... not exactly a bomber or fighter.

Bell 412s are very versatile helicopters but they're still pretty generic, similar to those used worldwide by police forces, news agencies, private operators, etc. They're usually unarmored and unarmed and aren't structurally designed to be front-line combat aircraft.

They might be using the Tucano to train pilots for more intimidating aircraft but I'd imagine the 412s are just for VIP transport.

Violent video-games are relaxing

Agreed, this is a flawed study. WoW is violent in that you kill stuff but when the media says "violent" what they're really referring to is what gamers call "twitch," like FPSs. It's easy to see how a twitch game could be more readily linked to violence as it tests the gamer's reflexes, focus, and precision. In WoW, you click on something, and violence happens to it, but it's not nearly the same.

I'm sure that eventually some game critic will pick up on this, the study will be discredited, and somehow that'll make it proof positive that games make people violent. So, thanks Middlesex University. :P

Giant squid sex: violent, tangled and deeply weird

"But having such a big penis does have one drawback: it seems that co-ordinating eight legs, two feeding tentacles and a huge penis, whilst fending off an irate female, is a bit too much to ask"

I can attest to this.
