Lost
How lost can you get? Not as bad as 3 people in Miami, Florida. They spent 3 days driving around Miami trying to find their hotel. They were ultimately found by police, sitting in their car in the parking area of a servo. According to police: “The two women were taking turns driving, and they’ve [...]
This might explain why Tom and Nicole split
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman split rather suddenly after 10 years together. The reported pre-nuptial agreement between Cruise and Katie Holmes might explain why. She gets $4m for every year they remain together, up to 11 years. After 11 years, the agreement becomes void and Holmes becomes entitled to half of Cruise’s assets. Given that [...]
Viagra soft????
Got shown a piece of spam today at work, trying to sell “Viagra Soft”. What the hell, I thought. Doesn’t that sort of defeat the purpose of using Viagra? Then, I did a bit of research and discovered that “Viagra Soft” is ground up Viagra mixed in a gel. It is absorbed into the bloodstream [...]
Fucking petrol prices
Anyone in Australia who doesn’t think the petrol industry is riddled with price fixing and collusion between the major players? Today, petrol here is 146.9 cents per litre (*). This morning is was 10 cents cheaper. What a coincidence that this weekend is a long holiday weekend, and also the start of ski season just [...]
Good riddance to al-Zarqawi
According to reports on the news just now, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the purported leader of the Iraqi insurgency against American, coalition and Iraqi government forces, has been killed in a US air raid. All I can say is good riddance … a blight on humanity eliminated. Al-Zarqawi was supposedly Al Qaeda’s leader in Iraq. General [...]
A bit of biffo at the chess
A couple of chess players at the World Chess Olympiad went the biff over a young Australian woman chess player, Arianne Caoili. British grandmaster, Danny Gormally obviously had the hots for her, and when he saw her dancing in a nightclub with Armenian, Levon Aronian (ranked #3 in the world, so no mug chess player) [...]
The Number of the Beast
I thought it relevant to remind everyone today that the local ABC radio station in Canberra has a call sign of “666” ABC Canberra. Its actually a talk and news station, but I’ve always thought it should go totally heavy metal themed ….that would better fit the station name. Technorati Tags: 666, ABC Canberra, radio
Bush the fake president
I’ve read several articles over the past year or so about how George W Bush and the Republicans “stole” the last US election from John Kerry. For that matter, he won in 2000 over Al Gore via some pretty dodgy dealings in Florida. But reading this, really makes me wonder about the operation of democracy [...]
American soldiers in Iraq to be taught civilised behaviour
Following the Haditha murders, US commanders have recognised deficiencies in the training of their soldiers, and have announced extra training. This will focus on the “legal, moral and ethical standards on the battlefield”, according to Gen Peter Chiarelli, operational commander in Iraq. Interesting comments in the same article about Australian soldiers disbelief of the willingness [...]
So who’s the Labor politician who’s paying for sex?
Quick use of the beep button on Merrick and Rosso on the radio this morning. A prostitute called in and mentioned the name of a Labor politician who had “seen” her. The hosts cut her off and started apologising – wonder if they made it in time to get their station out of any possible [...]
