The Fringe
I thought the point with Fox was that they took a Darwinian bastardy to tehir planning. They don't care if your show is weird, but they also don't care if its good. Ratings ratings ratings.

US Presidential Elections
That seems reasonable.

anybody have any good trailers for upcoming movies
Don't get me wrong. Timothy Dalton was a great Bond. But the script in Licence to Killis total trash.

Finland is Winland
That's an interesting point, Muso, and of course a lot of people with mental issues are those low earning guys age 18-23. In fact, self-financed mental healthcare is almost a contradiction in terms. The more issues you have the less likely you are to be able to afford it.

Albino killings in Tanzania
That's the easy answer, but I would suggest it's overly simple. Africans are people, and in my experience are not much more 'savage' than you'll find in any country. That is, most 'savage' behaviour is carried out by a group or class of twits. The difference is only that unlike in Britain they aren't dressed in Burberry and aren't marginalised. They run the show because the non-twits are so badly organised.

Albino killings in Tanzania
I think it's about more than just muthi. If words goes around that X is rich enough and weird enough to use an albino in a ceremony to cement their power, then the ceremony has worked... No supernatural factors required.

There was a mass stabbing, preceded by a car crashing rampage. Similarly, 9 Israeli soldiers were injured when a man ran them over. IMO however unlikely you think helping people mentally is, trying to ban 'weapons' is a waste of time. Anything is a weapon *picks up and hefts Hades menacingly* if you know how to apply it.

What you did today
Spent most of the last two days in the dentists chair. My choppers are now gleaming, and ready to go. I intend to spend the next week eating biltong and raw granola. Grararanaw.

Zombie survival
I don't know... I normally only trust information on zombies when I get it from a video on youtube, showing some shaky handycam footage and an American student. ALERT: I found what I believe is footage of two Swedes with the virus... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7636577.stm

Meta was hijacked by Real Life. I doubt he'll be back. Can't reveal more, sorry.

Little Britain going to US
I suppose it was bound to happen. Just as people in the UK began to admit that Little Britain actually isn't funny, it moves. Like a storm of killer locusts. So now you poor bastards will have to put up with 50 bajillion skjetches all based around one pathetic joke, and one pathetic character. There's a man! He walks into newsagents to buy a packet of crisps! But... he's wearing a woman's handbag! Bwahahahahaha! I don't think so.

Yeah, but this is Bond. Somehow, Bond's producers have always been fairly smart about developing the series. Licence to Kill.

I've got a bad feeling about Quantum. Hollywood craps all over anything remotely like a sequel. I think the problem is that the talentless producer slugs always rely on audience reports. Imagine they do the same with a soup, instead of a film. Someone mentions that they liked the croutons, and the next time a soup is made it's about 25% croutons. Another person mentions basil, and you've now got a soiup which is almost entirely basil and croutons. Not only is this an assault on the taste buds, but they have probably left out anything the public are too stupid to notice, but which they really liked.

Zombie survival
Yup. That's the stuff. It's also the stuff in napalm which makes it burn better. Side-note: What happens to all the carrion in a zombie outbreak?

First crushes
Meh, women want a partner who is unthreatening, periodically. Just like guys occasionally want a bimbo. Women like the notion of a guy who only fancies them who will be easy to keep.

Finland is Winland
A spiritually positive note from Architect, but I don't know... In this case I doubt the people he shot were the morons. This foool had been planning the attack for six years, so the BBC have said. I call him the moron. Having siad that, people are inextricably social, so I totally disagree with Volo. People don't hit 18 years old having been unaffected by people around them. Unless they're feral children, like in that film.

More cops on the streets, does that ever work
Not on the velociraptors, just on the big dinos like brontosaurus. Speaking of which, I was wondering how everyone felt about the concealed carrying of tyrannosaurs.

What you did today
Long freaking day today. Wrote about 1500 words of a report, then realised that I'm not a student any more, and less words is good. I forget this periodically.

They respect our perspicacity.

Zombie survival
Isn't that highly combustible? Yes, but burns with less heat than phosphorus, I assure you. And phos burns with flames, be sure of it. Nasty bloody stuff, anyway.

First crushes
yes, I know that feeling. I always half expect a girl to push me out of a tree.

What you did today
Are the Sharpe movies good? I've read every one of the books, they were fantastic. Sean Bean is superbly cheesy for speechifying. Eveything else is pretty good too. It's shot on location in terrain verys imilar to that in question. Uniforms and mannerisms seem very accurate. The plots are a bit implausible, but otherthan that... I'd definitely recommend.
