The funny things thread
I wish they had gotten an Englishman to write the dialogue, it's full of double superlatives and superfluous adjectives. It's like they were aiming for a tone that doesn't really exist.

Or everyone may become pacifists and who would fight our wars. Unless we unwittingly unleash a power to great to be harnessed on the world.

Facebook is giving me the ****s
I see you lurking, giving me the evil eye, but you know it's true.

They have you by the balls. Especially if you organise a large portion of your social life through that site. There is no going back, no quitting, it would be too much of a hassle for everyone on your friends list.

I guess I'll root for whoever plays the boldest saturday.

2010 FIFA World Cup
Having a 100% counter attack oriented strategy is unfortunately a little too effective, it's pretty boring watching two of those of teams playing each other. It's depressing to watch Holland do it remembering the levels of enjoyable football they produced with the Creuff doctrine. Spain deserved the win for persisting in their pressure.

Boring so far. Spain are trying something at least. Germany mostly just lying in wait.

PS I am not responsible if your house burns down.

power supply
Well if it can't do it it should just shut off by itself, it shouldn't burn any breakers. If the electrical installations are up to scratch that is.

Legalise marijuana
You may be coping, but I still say daily use is not recommend. It should be a weekend sort of thing as a rule of thumb just IMHO. It's not like the prime stuff is exactly cheap either.

What was the name of that special drug panel member under Brown who got the sack for saying acid and hash were mostly harmless and a waste of time to pursue legally...

Legalise marijuana
In my experience the main downside with hash is when people who are too young smoke too much of it. The physiology of the brain is still changing, the formation of personality is taking place, and so on. these things can be adversely affected as with a number of other drugs. Other than that responsible use is largely no problem at all for most people.

It's a no brainer really.

Blizzard Forums to use real ID name
I dunno, I mean first of all I don't care because this is WOW, but it does seem like they are asking too much of people. I blame facebook.

Uruguay holding their own so far. It's like the Dutch have stage fright or something.

It's hot
It's all in the humidity isn't it. Anyway several thousand died in that French heat wave a couple of years ago.

How was the notoriously expensive prince wrap up concert ?

What you did today
Well, doesn't it make sense to try to weed out the intelligent people when you are running a scam, leaving you with just the suckers and less chance of things going south.

Reminder: Europeans literally cannot accept that imperialism was bad.
Soooo.. the usual. I can't get involved, life's too short.

The aquaventures of a water (b)logger
My fans are showing age and make a lot more noise now than when I first got the case. It does seem like a lot of extra work though, unless you want to trial and error your way thought the whole thing. Not sure right now if I'm going to sink the next batch of disposable income into a laptop or desktop.

Have red spots on your ears?
Eventually, President Nguyen Minh Triet ordered that the case be re-examined. Media aviators always tell politicians to nip single issue cases in the bud by 'doing something', often doesn't matter what. No one could argue against examining the case again and now the crackpots are also appeased. Seems like Vietnam is not so very unlike the rest of the world. It might be worth noting that none of this, according to the article, has led to any legal decision.

2010 FIFA World Cup
Apparently the old garde of dutch supporters are terrified of this because of the last time. Committing a foul is committing a foul, part of the game. You can't pull off a perfect tackle every time. A really dangerous reckless tackle on the other hand, that would be unsportsmanlike.
-
2010 FIFA World Cup
I don't know if I agree it's unsportsmanlike. If the call had been missed it would have been a tragedy, but somehow not stopping the ball going into your own goal seems like a bigger crime than making an impromptu goalie save.

2010 FIFA World Cup
This is how finals usually work out. Everyone too scared to try anything. Best bet for a real show is for a side with decent offensive capabilities to get behind early.
