Google tells the Chinese government to sit on it and rotate
I don't see why armchair heroes always argue that you can't be truly ethical unless it's NOT in your own interests. Balls to that, I say. It's just not sustainable. I like this move by Google, but I think the more crucial point is that the gmail accounts got bust open like ...erm... I can't think of a non-rude metaphor.

Real horrorshow
Well, precisely. As if the thought wasn't scary enough already without the threat of being pinned like a moth on a display board.

The fun stuff
Ah yes. I had a spirit bound to a fetish underslung on a double-barreled elephant gun. The spirit had instructions that on command she would leap forth and apply her (admittedly limited) kinetic power directly to the testicles of the target. If that didn't work then you knew they were probably a demon of some sort and you let 'em have both barrels BWAM BWAM!

Refereeing assistance
Who said the PC was going to die? I meant other people. If he has to build up towards greater and greater power by quietly killing the innocent in individual acts I don't see it getting too far out of hand. Thing about chaos powers is that you generally end up 'inside the tiger you set out on'. So as he does more Khaine type stuff he'll probably mutate further. It's essentially a race to gain sufficient power and favour to reach daemonhood before you die or mutate to the point where you are just gibbering spawn. I think I just answered my question, really. Maybe.

You have to admire her defense lawyer, tho. Arguing it wasn't intentional murder.

Building the joke
A crone is an old woman. You know, like in fairy tales.

Neice of British minister takes random man to bed, then dissatisfied she plunges a knife right through him and into his spine.

Building the joke
I'm looking to have a shaggy dog story on hand with the punchline "People who live in brass houses shouldn't owe crones" Now for the lead-in...

Sarah Palin joins Fox News
I already giggle whenever I hear the Fox strapline about fair and balanced, but this is mental. It's not journalism. It's the circus. Just to make it perfectly clear: this wasn't said in a sarcastic way? What wasn't?

Just saw Avatar
Avatar accused of racism I'm a bit tired, but I have to say I follow the logic. Why ARE the technocratic organised chaps always white? Why are the blue fellahs so obviously foreigners? I dunno.

The best that the Internet has produced so far
I might suggest they do this at my old school. Could make a change from A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Sarah Palin joins Fox News
I was about to scorn you for this, but some people choose their news channel based on what the anchors look like.

The funny videos thread
Sweet. Gibbering. Jebus. I just... I mean... moo?

What you did today
weird you should mention the grill. On Saturday I overheard an acquaintance saying that he was having trouble cooking in his rented accomodation. So more or less without thinking (and after heavy doses of Dragon Age) I suggested he take my old grill since I only use it a few days a year. Nearly backpedalled when I remembered how much it cost me then thought "Nuts to it. I really don't use it that often."

Capitalism is un-Christian.
For some people that wouldn't be a hell. I actually found an online Game of Rebirth! http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~s-slater/Dharma/05.html Freaking awesome.

Let's do the maths
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthne...ck-by-half.html Apparently, having sex twice a week can reduce a man's probability of having heart disease by 50%. Now, follow my logic here. If I eat bacon that's supposed to do x to increase it, and drinking probably increases it. But I reckon that if I hang out in places where you drink and eat delicious food I'm more likely to actually HAVE sex. The questions is, can we hunt around for thinsg which increase the chances of having heart disease and pile them up, but still come out ahead? Again, it would be good if the things which increase the heart disease risk also improve the chances of getting the sex.

I could stand havings omewhere like that to live for a while. Maybe. It sounds cool. I'd probably go insane within about 3 weeks, tho.

The buddhists had hells ages before that, surely? Rope-and-crushing hell was one which I remember learning about as a kid.

British Politics
Heh. It's like Gordon's a prisoner who's tunneled his way to freedom for 30 years and now he's got into the light he can't stand it. There are too many noises, and people keep expecting him to answer questions and like make them happy.

What you did today
Holy Crap. 20k? Houses over your way are really cheap. If I ever decide to chuck in the towel and just live off my savings and investments I will have to come live in the US. Liquidate my property here.
