Too much Simpsons, not enough work

Rather than reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the US wants scientists to research technology to block sunlight, as a means of halting global warming. Scientists have previously estimated that reflecting less than 1 per cent of sunlight back into space could compensate for the warming generated by all greenhouse gases emitted since the industrial revolution.

Homing pigeons

There are plenty of dumb criminals around, but these lot must rank right down amongst the intellectual pygmies of our time. They stole 14 GPS (global positioning system) devices from a warehouse in New York state. How were they tracked down? By the owners of the GPS devices, who activated them remotely, and used them […]

Just when you thought England couldn’t play any shittier…

….thats exactly what they do.
I think they’ve thrown the towel in completely now. Send for the vet, end their suffering.

Chas escapes jail

That stupid court case against Chas Licciardello from The Chaser was dismissed today.
After leaving court, he had this to say:
“I would just like to say how deeply disappointed we are with the court’s decision.
“We will not rest until this injustice has been corrected.
“We will be appealing the decision to the Supreme Court, to the High […]

Deja vu

It was damn hot here yesterday, so we sheltered from it for a while by going to the cinema. We saw “Deja Vu” which was decent, although I felt I’d seen it all before. All the stuff with the US government law enforcement agencies using high tech surveillance capabilities reminded me of “Enemy of the […]

Coincidental, my arse!

What a coincidence! There’s been a lot of scrutiny by the competition regulator, the Australan Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), and attention in the media, about petrol prices, and surprise, surprise, those prices take a bit of a nosedive. Indeed, prices would normally increase at this time of the week, as per the so-called weekly […]

Nothing important, don’t bother

Interesting argument by solicitor Chris Murphy, lawyer for actor Matthew Newton, who is accused of assaulting his former girlfriend, actress Brooke Satchwell. Murphy told reporters outside the court:
“Ninety people died in Iraq today, most of them kids. This is a very minor matter.”
So no problems then, feel free to slap your wife or girlfriend around, […]

Ingenuity at work

Another example of misguided ingenuity. A man was arrested in Melbourne for secretly filming up the dresses of women on trams. One of his tools of trade was a shoe fitted with a tiny camera lens.

The man was in his early 20’s … no doubt some sort of geek who spends too much time on […]

Very original

This has got to be the most original reason I’ve ever heard of for a rugby league player to quit professional sport. Brian Carney today announced his retirement from all forms of the game to go to university and complete his Masters degree.
Very impressive, given most football players you see or hear interviewed give the […]

Those crazy Americans

The courts in Norwich, Connecticut, have been dealing with the big crimes lately. A jury there found substitute teacher, Julie Amero, guilty of risk of injury to a minor, or impairing the morals of a child. She faces up to 40 years in jail for this - sentencing is yet to occur.
Her crime […]
