I personally have much preferred their recipie for Pruno prison wine. See how the other, other half gets wasted.

In "The Laugh Judgement"

This might be nice, if all the jokes on that site weren't so fricken' LAME... The only amusing thing about that site was the irony of so many members replying in outrage at the bland and sanitised 'jokes'

In "100 people who are screwing up America"

This is an absolute scream :D Did some kid in highschool write this? "Rottening the American culture.." Is 'rottening'even a fucking word? Gaw. "Ted Kennedy has gained the reputation for being the 'conscience' of the Democratic Party, and yet how can he have a conscience if he was against the Iraq War? Is this freaking textbook example of the 'begging the question' argumentative fallacy actually committed ON PURPOSE? This reads like it's a 16 year old's halfassed attempt at a homework assingnment, which is heading for a C grade. God, what a wanker the dude who wrote this must be. How do these dense morons whom so blatantly advertise their total mediocrity ever get published? Really, what the fuck is going on??

If you liked that trig, you are going to just love going on your own silo diving expedition! :D http://www.northwestdiver.com/features/2003/0120-1.php I shuddered several times reading that.

In "When did Australia become a police state?"

"When Mr. X's driving is impaired (due to booze, drugs, whatever), cops will know and pull Mr. X over. How will they know? Because his fucking driving is impaired." Oh, bullshit. The cops will only KNOW when he t-bones a freakin' car at an intersection killing himself and its occupants. Some of alcohols worst effects for driving are delays in reaction time... Drivers under the influence can very easily keep with the traffic flow under normal conditions and evade detection. Its when a few reflexes are needed that it all falls apart. If you think the only road deaths are caused by drivers slewing their vehicles all over the place enough to catch the attention of the cops, then you are incredibly misguided.

On preview, knickerbocker... Your example is identical to roadside blood alchohol testing. I don't believe that is the product of a police state.

The roadside tests here in Aust use a saliva swab from the inside of your mouth. A positive swab is verified by a blood-test before any action is taken, but you are still walking home that evening. The swab tests for the existance of drugs within a relatively narrow timeframe, measured in the hours, rather than days or weeks. So that spliff you lit up a few days ago is unlikely to cause problems. The whole thing is in trial... There is only one drug testing van on the roads at this time in Victoria, making your odds of even getting tested pretty minimal. I have serious reservations about how it all operates (especially about false swab positives, getting exonerated on a blood test a week or so later is cold comfort for needing to walk home on the night) however driving on substances is damn irresponsible. Take yer drugs, but don't go piloting heavy machinery at high speeds afterward m'kay?

I just read 'Quality Assurance' and giggled my motherfucking ass off.

In "The Amazing Axlotl:"

I had an axolotl once. We called him "The Ancestor" because he looked like the first thing to crawl out of the primordial soup. He had beady eyes with a thousand yard stare, and people would get all creeped out looking at him there in the tank, and to put on a show, you could feed him live earthworms. He used to snap them up real violently while they writhed around, causing shudders among the uninitiated. Yeah, he was wicked cool. Sadly he died one night when he escaped from the tank... At least we thought so, we never found the body...

In "Using bumptunes and the Powerbook's new accelerometer to control iTunes playback."

I don't quite grasp your rant prismatic7, the accelerometer in the PB is to park the drive heads if the computer experiences freefall so they don't go crashing into the platters on impact. This itunes thing is just some person's idle hack, not a product of Jobs, high preist of Apple. Sheesh, chill out.

The accelerometer is sensitive enough to detect you even lightly tapping the case, or even the desk your PB is sitting on. It's pretty cool to tap the desk to control itunes... 'Specially if you are busy with something else

I knew someone who faked his own death too. Left a pile of his clothes on a ill-frequented beach and his car parked nearby. Turned up in the paper after being caught robbing a postoffice, interstate.

In "Victor Yushchenko was NOT poisoned"

I also must apologise to nostril... Posting on a friday with an alchohol drenched brain made me act like significantly more of an arsehole than I should have. Sorry. I forgot mofi is not like the rest of the web, where one shoots the bile first.. then defends questions later. Freinds?

I read the links, and I am a doctor specialising in clinical pathology. Not my area, for sure, but his choracne is not somethingt that can seriously ever be attributed to rosecea. It really is apples and oranges.

In "Curious George: Skin rubbed raw"

Ok. This is a somewhat unplesant yet proven remedy. I used to row competitively in an eight crew during high school. Blisters and lost skin due to oar friction on the hands was a serious issue. The solution? Methylated spirits! Ideally, you apply this before the wounds develop, as it rapidly hardens up the skin, however afterwards it works too (however painfully). It is however, the best solution I know to form hard and calloused invincible flesh ;)

In "Victor Yushchenko was NOT poisoned"

Oh, bullshit. Please... Just look at the Chloracne. Anyone with a passing familiarity with dioxin poisoning can see the clinical signs. Rosacea? Jesus, what crap. That's childsplay compared to his outward signs. Dioxin fat soluble? Of course. Most soups contain fats. Jesus, what the hell are you using for stock? Yushenko's dioxin levels won't be normal for a long time. Dioxin most definetly does collect in fat cells, and its likely he will be displaying symptoms for at least two years, optimistic press releases on his behalf aside. This post is, well... Garbage.
