I am not one to get into politics deeply - I whine about different things now and again but that is about it.
However - this was just too funny to resist - gotta love the guys at HolyTaco!
As for the Dilbert one - well - economies everywhere are just going nuts - so this could apply to just about everywhere right now!
Mike,
Hello, I am from approximately two months in the future. On 10/22 at approx 2:34am CET a tachyon
field failure in the main resonating ring of the LHC causes a "temporal blowback". Shortly
thereafter, the resulting destruction of the strong nuclear force causes the world to vaporize in
seconds, while a few of us near the experiment are thrown into a temporal causality loop. While
the predestination event (or as we have come to call it "The Big Rewind") hasn't occurred yet to
you, for us it is about three years in our past. I came across your site looking to see if there
were any other scientists that may have theorized this phenomenon who may be of assistance in
preventing it. This brings me to my point, I have repeatedly checked your site for the past five
rewinds at 2:34:01 CET and it still says nope, believe me at this point the LHC has most assuredly
destroyed the world. I can provide a bank account in Nigeria for the funds to be placed. I am
curious to the exact amount however.

This cracked me up - as being one of the many that is not surprised that the world is still standing!
Well - as usual there were the - what is very sadly - the usual stabbing's at the weekend here. Every weekend without fail it is a case of knowing there is just going to be news of more of this happening.
Keep hearing about the tougher sentences - have yet to see any - well anything that should be classed as decent sentencing for taking another person's life.
Here are a few snippets for some of the stuff going on from a few places in the last couple of days.
Paedophile jailed for two-and-a-half years for sex with 13 yr old girl..........
This guy even enrolled in school to continue his deception of being a 16 yr old boy.
His defence stating he was a was a 'disturbed, confused and unhappy man from a violent background.'
The other sad part here was the prosecution stating: '.....he gave the girl a ring and she believed they would eventually marry. "She said if she had known his true age she would not have got into the relationship,"'
What the hell difference does it make as to how old he is - at 13 yrs old she should not be thinking about having sex with anyone - and her parents should be talking to her about the pitfalls of opening her legs for someone that says 'I love you!'
It is not just the defendant that needs treatment - the child could also do with a healthy dose of it too.

What's old and goes woof........
This time it's Fleetwood's pier - only 2 months after the Weston Super Mare Pier went up in flames.

Abused baby's broken back not noticed.................
Hard to believe that a consultant could not notice this! Apparently she could not examine the 17month old child because he was "cranky"!
Go figure!!!!
How the hell does any competent doctor not notice this???
The injuries the child had were an obvious cause for concern - the child died 2 days later after receiving a blow which knocked out a tooth which was swallowed.
This child suffered - horrendously - eight cracked ribs, tops of some fingers and a toenail missing, infected wounds and bruises - oh and erm yep - a BROKEN BACK!
Apart from the obvious of wishing the parents/b/f in hell - the paediatrician should face a separate trial via the Medical Board and be struck the heck off!

Let's be honest - there is nothing much smells better than bacon!
So seeing as I am bored and could not be bothered to procrastinate on the general topics of today - I decided to do a mini bacon special! Enjoy!
The bacon alarm clock - be woken to the smell of bacon every morning!

Channel 4 Dispatches: Undercover Mosque........
The amount of prejudice in this program was unreal - the prejudice from the likes of Miss Saleem towards the British in particular.
Aren't there laws against incitement and teaching/preaching such prejudice/intolerance?
Calling Britain a - "land of the evil, land of the disbelievers" - Saleem does not believe Muslims should live in Britain.
It must also be clarified here that not all Muslims think this way.
Maybe it is about time these few were removed - especially when preaching such hatred for a country they are living in - a country that allowed them to live here. Wouldn't it be nice for once to see a Government stick to it's word about this kind of thing and actually deport these people back to the 'oh so perfect country they came from.' Or if they were born here - to actually question them about their incitement and bring charges against them - or does that sort of thing only apply to anyone insulting them.
Feel free to go back to your own country - and all your followers and others that believe the same as you.
Don't let the door of the plane hit your ass as you leave!
Tony Perrottet's fun but thorough approach to his research has made him a regular contributor to publications such as: The Smithsonian Magazine, The Believer, National Geographic Adventure and also appearances on The History Channel - to name a few.
The story of what happened to Napoleon's privates and the subsequent discovery of them in a suitcase under a bed is what led the author to embark on a quest to discover evidence of age old mysteries.
With chapters entitled such: 'Sex and the Renaissance Nun (AD 1450); Napoleon's Dead! Long Live Napoleon's Privates! (AD 1821) and The Nazi Dictator's Other Ball (AD 1945) - you cannot help but be intrigued and also realise that this is not going to be your standard historical fact book!
The chapters (more than 60) are each a short mix of humor and fact - keeping the reader both intrigued and amused and wanting to move on to the next one.
History would sure have been a lot more fun at school if these fact had been thrown in!
Irreverent in it's content - this book is excellent fun, tongue-in-cheek reading for those that love their history served on the lighter side.
The quality and amount of research done - as indicated by the references - is far-reaching making the reader feel that certainty that they are not reading another book of urban myths.
Good fun and fact are always a winning combination - but often hard to combine - but it is done to an excellent standard to have even the more cynical of us at least smirking as we read.
