Indonesian /C/h/i/n/e/s/e/ schoolgirl flips off old begging woman

All look same?

...and I'm not sure who she's flipping off - I mean the girl's looking at the old lady but flipping the bird in the direction of the photographer.

Publishing's crises (incompletely) explained

Sounds like amazon needs to get into the publishing game.

Ohh... another icon from my high school reading days is gone. He made fantasy fun for me! All my RPG experience was built on the humour he crafted into his stories. Sigh. Skeeve and Aahz walk into the sunset.

Satellite to be junked because lunar flyby is patented

April 11, 2008 4:09am

umm, so leaving aside the stupidity of the situation, has anyone asked what Boeing might want by way of a tribute/virgin sacrifice in order to make use of this patented 'fly-by' of theirs?

Air New Zealand plane passengers "fumigated alive"

April 1, 2008 6:53pm

honestly, this is a big deal why? I can't remember how many flights I've been on in the Caribbean or in Africa where they sprayed the cabin before we got off the plane. Big deal, hold a napkin over your mouth and nose or something. People are so fricking sensitive these days.

oooh it's like the abandoned theme park in "Spirited Away" ... filled with the ghosts of pseudo-Chinese carnies!

Readers interested in the illegal trade in tissue, bone and other valuable body parts should check out Annie Cheney's terrific book on the subject, "The Body Brokers:Inside America's Underground Trade in Human Remains" (available at the usual online outlets)... I read it last year and I just could not believe what some people get up to when they're given the charge of human remains as part of their occupation.

Hey folks! Thanks for the link, BB!

NB about the scans - I processed them down to 800pixels on the longest side deliberately - to do a higher resolution would have meant a lot more retouching and cleaning up - these slides are dusty and scratched up! Anyway there's been a lot of interest so over the next little while I'm going to keep an eye on which posters are the most viewed/favourited and then process them to higher resolutions... Anyone who wants to see the 800 pixel size can add me as a contact and I'll add them and then they can see "all sizes"...

I received mine over the holidays! AWESOME! You guys are all haters. It's a terrific piece of clothing, really well done designwork on it. I'll wear it proudly!

Terror police in UK taser man in coma

It's a good thing those cops probably hadn't seen "Sean of the Dead" or they'd have whacked his noggin off with a baseball bat.

This reminds me of the wonderful 1984 film, The Funeral, by Itami Juzo.

MIT student arrested for entering Boston airport with "fake bomb"

...and she did it in BOSTON! Home of the overreaction to improvised electronic devices!

Sheesh. That's like walking up to a customs agent and saying, "I have a bomb." What an idiot.

Infringing Viacom claims copyright infringement

thinking of the way youtubers generally do things, it would have been more appropriate for Knight to post a video rant on the topic rather than repost Viacom's derivative clip of his work.

all things being equal, shouldn't Knight just have posted his original commercial(s) to YouTube instead of Viacom's copy?
