I really wonder what’s in US marihuana…
 by in Humour, Interesting Links |
I just discovered this news through ShaolinTiger: apparently, some guy broke into a tomb to cut off a bodies head in order to use it as a bong. WTF?!
Now I really wonder what they put in United States marihuana because, hell, I want some of that too!

On the Dutch government collapse in global media…
According to the Guardian:
[..] the Dutch government collapsed last night in a row over its treatment of a Somali-born politician who came to symbolise the country’s troubled relations with its Muslim population.
Excuse me? What kind of crock is that?
Another fine case of misinformation in the (global) media. Symbolise? She fueled the fucking feud and started [...]
The perfect crime (or: how to get rid of your kids)
So, one girl was raped and both were strangled. Apparently, the bodies were found 500 meters away from where the girls went missing.
It is, of course, a perfect scenario to get rid of your kids (anyone leaving their kids outside of a cafe at 02:30 AM at night, in my humble opinion, is very *very* [...]
Political ‘crisis’ as government resigns in the Netherlands
So, last night our government ‘fell’ because of the whole Hirshi-Ali business. Well actually it fell because most politicians, as they always do, are more busy with themselves, than the actual country they’re trying to run.
In that respect, I had expected a crisis rather sooner than later.
If enough people still care enough and vote [...]
Hardware: SmartJoy Dual Plus USB adapter
Yesterday, the SmartJoy Dual Plus USB adapter arrived by snail-mail. I ordered that thing so I could use the good old PS2 controllers in stead of buying a new set of joysticks to play games on the PC.
The adapter with 2 pads plugged in. If you’re wondering about the semi-transparent white plastic wrapping around the
controllers’ [...]
On the Theory of Evolution…
So, I was watching Discovery Channel’s Monkey Business when suddenly the following ‘revelation’ hit me, a thought that never had crossed my mind probably because it was staring me in the eyes all along.
See, in order to prove that we descend from monkeys (’mere animals’ as some tend to think), scientists are on this quest [...]
On the last Potter story…
| by in General, Random Rantings |
So I just read this Dutch news about the last Potter story (still in progress) featuring the deaths of 2, yet unknown, characters.
She explains in the article (and this is the whole reason why I took the time to write this little blurb), that, although she initially didn’t want to let some die, she now [...]
Rice: Nuclear deal with India made under special circumstances
So, sell-out and betray-the-people Rice states that the ‘nuclear deal with India made under special circumstances‘.
Aha — that must be the same ’special’ circumstances under which, back in the day — when the export of 128bit encryption was still prohibited — the US allowed India to buy this ‘illegal’ encryption technology (if I remember correctly, [...]
Quote Of The Week #15
| by in Quote Of The Week |
When logging into some server at work yesterday, the good old fortune-program threw this quote by the comedian Jim Samuels at me. An analogy that I found, at the least, mildly amusing:
The United States is like the guy at the party who gives cocaine to everybody and still nobody likes him.

US senate to take up flag-burning issue
As I noted earlier, a Senate panel approved a measure that would change the Constitution to let Congress ban burning of the American flag burning. Today Reuters reports that a vote is expected this week. What I didn’t really know was this:
There were 13 instances of flag burning or vandalism last year and four so [...]
Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars
Don’t know if you ever read the document of that same title. If you haven’t, by all means do. Real or not, the document does give some interesting insight.
Any similarities with international money-tracking, under the guise of ’searching of terrorism’, must be purely coincidental.

Programming the Cell Broadband Processor
A colleague just pointed me to this post linking to some articles on programming the Cell Broadband Processor (the technology that powers the Playstation 3). If you’re into that stuff you might want to check it out.
I also noted that, although Sony’s marketing machine is slowly being put into motion, there’s quite a bunch [...]
Kansas reinstates death penalty — WTF?
So, Kansas is reinstating the deat penalty, joining another 37 states in the US that are up to these uncivilised and inhumane practices. That’s not a good thing at all. Yeah, the US, the land of the free, and murderers of the possibly innocent (and that’s not limited to their internal politics either).
The church did [...]
My rabbit was making faces at me

And I could just catch him the act!
(Well, actually, he was just cleaning himself and I had a lucky shot. ;))

Yay — we lost!
Soccer sucks, we lost and the team will return today. Double — no — tripple yay!
Sadly though, this doesn’t mean we’re finally ridden of that irritating soccer championshit bullshit on every goddamn television channel where not a single station is airing interesting movies or programmes at all, fearing nobody would watch it anyways.
Maybe that’ll change. [...]
Wired: UFO-hacker tells what he found
I discovered through Darknet that Wired is running an article with an interview with Gary McKinnon, the guy that hacked NASA to find proof for the existance of UFO’s.
WN: Some say that you have given the UFO motivation for your hacking as a distraction from more nefarious activities.
McKinnon: I was looking before and after 9/11. [...]
‘Rabbit week’ at CuteOverload.com
| by in Animals & Nature, Bunnies, Interesting Links |
Don’t know if you noticed — let alone care — but the last week some Japanese rabbit store’s website is being featured on Cuteoverload because of its dangerously high content of cute. Well, the images of the rabbits anyways.
Today’s image is really cute (check the ears).
You might want to check the others out if [...]
Growing ‘rabbit-food’…
| by in Animals & Nature, History |
A couple of weeks ago I was giving one of our rabbits some food, rabbit pellets. These usually consist of different types of grass-seeds and pellets made of dried grasses. Not that interesting at all I know.
But there is this other thing in the rabbit pellet mix that I couldn’t put my finger on [...]
On Bluecasting…
I read this article about a Dutch shop that sends messages to Bluetooth enabled devices. Apparently — this is not spam. Because, by its definition, spamming is only spam if you are abusing some ’service’. As Bluetooth is not a communication-service, i.e. one doesn’t have to subscribe or pay to use it, you can spam [...]
One third of Europeans lack basic computer skills
As reported by The Register yesterday, a third of the EU citizens lack basic computer skills:
Eurostat found that 37 per cent of people aged between 16 and 74 had no basic computer skills and were unable to complete tasks such as using a mouse to copy a file or folder.
I find the action of ‘copying [...]
