(un)intelligent design

Stumbled upon this (extremely) slanted article today.

Death by Trans Fats. You guys are young and immortal. When you are old, frail and dieing remember I told you so. Politicians, Doctors and Executives and other liars should be honest or shot.

Canola Oil and Trans Fats

What are you doing to stop the spread of nuclear weapons?
U.N. Security Council approves resolution imposing sanctions on Iran over nuclear program

Iran is the only country in the world that truly considers terrorism to be a part of international policy.

Judge: Iran financed '96 terror attack that killed 19, owes $254 million to victims' families

Iran is also believed to be behind the Beirut attack on the marine barracks that killed a lot of US Marines. They also did the 444 days of hostages in the Tehran embassy but I can overlook that as we put the Shah in power back in the 70's (?).

All that is required for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.

Any thoughts on these doctors/nurses being put to death?

I wonder what the real story behind all of this.

Don't forget to drink before you drive

One beer won't help you steer, but if your steering is bad, it might help to protect your BRAIN! Good news for humans AND zombies.

I am curious if they can apply this to boxers. They could get a little buzz on before they fight. Maybe they won't fight as well, but they might also not end up like..... Well, you've seen old boxers.

I like how they put all the statistics they used in this article too. (I didn't pay much attention to them, but I COULD have if I wanted to)

cue nerdiness

I'm going to bare my true colors for a moment here.

So on my way home this weekend, I swung by Gamestop to see if they had any Wii's in stock. Of course, they didn't. They did have controllers though. I picked one up, and am now using it as a mouse for my computer (thanks to Ubuntu Linux, a python script from here, and two candles).

Check out http://www.wiili.org for more info (the forums also include a playable air guitar using two Wiimotes)

The world is a strange place.

It was good while it lasted...

Seems we may not have a Democratic senate after all.

I say it's a conspiracy and the GOP secretly switched the cardiovascular systems of Tim Johnson and Dick Chaney. "Resistance is futile".

Gain no pain

It's tough to find good articles on this. I hear something about the case study being detailed in Nature magazine or something. It's about a bunch of kids who have normal nervous system functioning, except for not feeling any pain.

Definitely worth a look over if you haven't heard of it.

Give' em hell Bushmen

More proof that all governments are corrupt a holes. Although how someone could think diamonds are cooler that Bushmen is beyond me.

I wonder what the bushmen call themselves. Probably not bushmen. I wonder if they would be offended if they knew we refered to them that way

A Question that you have all wondered about, has finally been answered

At the risk of violating the blogs ground rules and copy right laws I would like to do my part to introduce the younger generation to great literature.

x/0 = ?

I'm not sure if you guys have seen this one or not. It's kind of amusing.

Basically, Dr James Anderson is teaching kids that a number divided by 0 is equal to 'nullity'.

There is a link to his theory, but it's a real player file.

Ah, here is an interesting article. The question is, did Hamas commit the crime, or someone trying to foster a divide between the Fatah and Hamas factions. I tend toward the obvious answer of Hamas, but who knows.

There doesn't seem to be any way to stop violence in a place where people are willing to kill someones children to get back at them. No one took credit for the action, which makes me wonder if the action was driven by politics, revenge or both.

After years in preparation to use the worse blogger site ever (blogger.com) here is for your amusement an article on Britsnee Speers flashing in NY.
