Sabotage manual from 1944 advises acting like an average 2008 manager

I think they adopted these methods of "Sabotage" based on experiences with commonplace bureaucratic groupthink, not vice versa... I'll add academia to the obvious breeding ground for most of these examples, unfortunately.

I couldn't find the wine box on the site. I don't have full Flash-ability, so I might be missing it. Did anybody else find it?

I was wondering which FYI megaservice got that stream shut down... usually it's Fark or digg. That was an awesome collection that will definitely be missed.

Thanks for bringing ice to the jungle, boingboing...

Huge improvement of the usual Clapton snoozefest.

Scientology strikes back at "Anonymous" via YouTube

You have to give it up to scientology for bringing science fiction to new cultish heights. The other religions have pretty much used up all the dungeons and dragons material.

Hot rod painted using dressmaker's lace stencil

I don't know... I kind of appreciate the juxtaposition (yeah, I said it) of the faded Nazi SS hand tattoo and the pretty blue lace custom paint job. On the other hand, maybe he has "KI" (on the other hand) and is a huge KISS fan.

The post is about the awesome paint job. Let's talk about that instead.

Stack of intriguing books from Feral House and Process Media

I can't recommend Struwwelpeter enough. I found it (as Slovenly Peter) at my grandmother's house when I was a kid and refer to it regularly. As I remember, the author came up with those stories for his own child because the existing moral tales weren't quite stern enough. I recently caught a stage adaptation of the stories (I think it was called Shock Headed Peter) that used early stage effects to tell the stories. Awesome. Remember the stage play (especially the rolling log as cresting waves) in the movie Baron Münchhausen? It's like that.

Get it. Read it. Pass it on.

"Utorrent uses encryption so you wont get throttled no mater who your provider is."

Are you sure? I definitely noticed that uploads stopped a few months ago. Now the downloads are disabled for the most part. I can see plenty of seeders.
