Is it funny? Is it sad?

 

A Finnish Hearthstone tournament has briefly banned female players from entering their competition. Because you know, playing Hearthstone can get really physical and women might not be able to keep up with the furious mouse clicking. Luckily, someone sane eventually decided that it was a really silly, silly idea.

Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

This reminds me of One Piece in america (?) where that cig from the cook dude is repainted to a lollipop.

This little excerpt from an article on the new 155mm "Excalibur" round for the M-109 self-propelled howitzers gave me a chuckle:

 

 

 

"[D]id you know that one of the military-industrial complex's most important inventions comes out of the barrel of a howitzer?

 

It's called the "Excalibur," and it's a 155-millimeter howitzer round that creator Raytheon  says can target an object 30 miles away and consistently hit within two meters of that target. To put that in perspective, say you set up a Paladin self-propelled howitzer in San Jose, Calif., and stood William Tell's son somewhere in the suburbs of San Francisco with an apple on his head. Say you then told the Paladin to hit the apple with an Excalibur round. Excalibur might miss the apple -- but nine times out of 10, it'll nail the younger Tell somewhere between socks and eyebrows."

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

-Rod Serling
