Too bad that in reality, as much as you daydream about it, you could never make yourself leave Stockholm...

30 seconds of my life I will never get back. Thanks for that.

I always order either what is known here as as pizza salami, pizza pollo (chicken) or pizza quattro formaggi. And I like my pizza to be large with a thin crust. None of that thick stuff from the pizza chains, if I wanted a pie, I would have ordered pie.

Sorry to hear that. Hope your rats will be alright!

How Forbes inadvertently proved the anti-malware value of ad blockers

This was the Dutch reaction to the Danish video urging refugees not to come to Denmark:

/pat pat. There, there. Maybe you didn't get it now, but I am sure you'll get that aircraft carrier one day, and then you'll be able to have a fun little private war of your own. You'll see!

Terrible news. Didn't even know he was ill. And if we're picking things from his oeuvre, this one shouldn't be left unmentioned:

Based on how skillfully MCA managed to avoid giving a real answer to the question, there can be but one conclusion. MCA left Obsidian to run for president.

I thought this might be an interesting topic to start a thread about. To be honest, I'm not a huge poetry fan, and I don't actually read a lot of poetry. Still I find the work of some select poets appealing, and I am curious what other people here like. Also, I reckon a poetry thread is a nice distraction from the many threads here dealing with all the doom and gloom in the world. Though to be fair poetry can be quite full of that as well. :D My own favourite is quite a well known one by A.E. Housman. Quite a bit of gloom there as well, I must admit. The Laws of God, The Laws of Man The laws of God, the laws of man, He may keep that will and can; Not I: let God and man decree Laws for themselves and not for me; And if my ways are not as theirs Let them mind their own affairs. Their deeds I judge and much condemn, Yet when did I make laws for them? Please yourselves, say I, and they Need only look the other way. But no, they will not; they must still Wrest their neighbor to their will, And make me dance as they desire With jail and gallows and hell-fire. And how am I to face the odds Of man’s bedevilment and God’s? I, a stranger and afraid In a world I never made. They will be master, right or wrong; Though both are foolish, both are strong. And since, my soul, we cannot fly To Saturn nor to Mercury, Keep we must, if keep we can, These foreign laws of God and man.

In my mind the best way to respond to these attacks is not to let yourself be taken over by emotions of fear or anger and paranoia of everyone who looks Middle-Eastern. Because that's exactly what these terrorists want.

Absurdistan indeed!

Edit: I had no idea what you were on about until I googled on it. Those are some... fruity ideas that man has.
