Aussies rank US behind China While John Howard staunchly followed his close friend George W. Bush to war, Australians don't hold the same affection for our key ally, with the US ranking below China, France and Japan in the public's estimation.

Curious, George: DVD Burning I need help completing my DVD pirating process. So, I decided to ask the smartest group of people I know. Ironic that these smart people are monkeys, ain't it?

Might Mofi Describe your day in a mighty way, as if it were mythological events to be inscribed in stone tablets. Ie., two-fisted tales of ordinary days. (With a might fart, he arose from the bed, and swore vengeance at the roaring lion = He woke up and accidentally stepped on the cat.). Give your life that Conanical flair and tell it like it should be, not like it is.

How to Witness with Halo 2 "In fact, the Halo storyline is remarkably like a major theme of the Bible..." wherein the Earth is attacked by aliens/Satan, and Jesus comes to save it from a fate worse than the Covenant. "But then again, I know of a bigger nerd club. It has millions of members and is spread all over the world. In fact, it includes you and me. It is made up of every Christian, whether we realize it or not," says Lane Palmer, witnessing with Napolean Dynomite.

Ukai - photographs of traditional cormorant fishing Ukai, or cormorant fishing, is a traditional method of river fishing that has been practiced in Japan for some 1300 years. This method involves fishermen using cormorant birds on leashes to catch sweetfish (such as the Ayu). Ukai is not as widespread as it once was, because it is no longer an economically viable form of fishing. Nowadays, there are only a few people authorized to perform ukai, and it is protected under the Imperial Household Agency. Positions are usually inherited and passed on within each family.

Octopuses walking on two legs... I mean, tentacles. Octopuses apparently learn to walk woth two tentacles while using the other six to adopt different shapes as camo. I find it ammusing because the videos remind me of cartoon characters hiding behind bushes and carrying them along.
