Captain obvious award…
From Techdirt, proof the US government is just now catching on to what everyone, including the media, police, and all manner of other people have known for freakin’ ages–there is actually porn online! And in related news, scientists have confirmed the sky is actually blue. Idiots. Very much deserving of … Read the rest

The waiting game, round 3, day 2…
Surprisingly enough, or, perhaps, not so, this is beginning to take on a rather striking resemblence to the last time I tried to get myself a place, a job, and moved in all in the span of less than a week. Except, at least now the apartment’s been put on … Read the rest

Whole new meaning to public discipline.
India is a fine example of where judgement by one’s peers goes a lot further than the legal system. Police wouldn’t arrest a man for raping his neighbour, who was deaf and mute, because she couldn’t actually make a case against him. They claimed to be still investigating on their … Read the rest

Suddenly, the US’s former defense minister seems inteligent.
Well, on the one hand, this one knows where to look for them ever so elusive weapons of mass destruction. On the other hand, though have you seen the possible sources? I dunno, I’m just waiting for the first time a hacker from Britain actually pulls something off on the … Read the rest

And amidst all that stupidity, something somewhat positive, if a little idiotic in itself.
I have discovered the reason for it taking a week for me to actually get a hold of something that wasn’t someone’s voicemail. One HR person I’m to get in touch with was, in fact, on vacation, or… something of the sort. The other? Well, see, she was transfered to … Read the rest

How many people called it a train wreck?
I didn’t figure it’d last long, and I was right. Not even 2 months after giving birth to number 2, miss Britney has apparently smartened up and, in an attempt at salvaging what’s left of her image, she’s ditching the moron. Some would say it’s about time. On the other … Read the rest

And it’s back to square 1.
Still nothing but voicemail from the Dell people. Yay people who don’t return phone calls. And now, they’ve already cost me an apartment, as the rental application I preemptively filled out has basicly been declared null and void–the apartment I was applying to rent has already been occupied. I guess … Read the rest

Saddam isn’t quite finished yet.
In spite of the fact he’s already been rather effectively sentenced, he probably still has another trial to go through yet. And he’ll be hanged, so there goes the theory that he’ll get what he wants–he did, after all, request a shooting. Well, there is a bright side. There will … Read the rest

The things we talk about on a Saturday afternoon…
So an IM conversation I was involved in somehow got onto the topic of whether or not a blind man could actually own a car. How that happened, or why, is still anyone’s guess. But, in doing so, I discovered something perhaps too glaringly obvious about the system that regulates … Read the rest

She… didn’t… know?
I suppose anything’s possible, but… perhaps someone who’s been through it can explain to me exactly how it is you *wouldn’t* know you were pregnant? I mean, I can see not knowing at first, hence things like pregnancy tests and things, but… after 9 months, still not knowing? Hello? Although, … Read the rest
