The Times of London did some amazing investigative journalism. They called ticket agents in three countries, and none of them new that BA had a carbon offset program (at additional cost). Their conclusion: BA is afraid that if people knew the real environmental impact of flying they would fly less, hurting BA’s [...]
archenemy has posted about luxury private submarines before.
Now it seems the government and military are concerned.
boo hoo.
Now this is a freakin’ obituary:
Count Gottfried von Bismarck, who was found dead on Monday aged 44, was a louche German aristocrat with a multi-faceted history as a pleasure-seeking heroin addict, hell-raising alcoholic, flamboyant waster and a reckless and extravagant host of homosexual orgies.
The last line:
He never married.
Apparently he never found the time.
Damn those conservatives! They are holding up important stem cell research.
Emerson Radio (WERS 88.9) has an all a cappella show on now. I just heard “Where the streets have no name” and was like “somethings wrong- is this a cover?” before I found out that it was all voices. They had the Edges guitar down pat.
Nicolas Sarkozy was Jean Reno’s best man. (per IMDB)
Watched Empire of the Wolves last night- OK, Weird in that “French Movie” way, but the end was kind of like the Matrix where you wished they were more creative with the “why” - and really want to see the Crimson Rivers.
Lots of women dressed up as slave woman Princess Leia. YES!
Some idiot dresses his 2 year old daughter up as “Slave Girl Leia” as well and chucks her in front of the camera. Jon Benet, meet the fanboys. NOOOOOOOOOO!
Just a quick follow up to this post.
Last Sunday I filled out the recall form of Acer’s web site. It told me to that it would take up to five weeks for replacement. That’s five weeks with a laptop with not battery. On Monday I was notified a package shipped, and [...]
I wonder if you can hook one of these up to a Ford F150.
Reminds me of the Tie Fighter pilots in SW.
Spinal Tap is back for the “Live Earth” concert in Wembley Stadium. Retard Rob Reiner has made a new 15 min. Tap short film. He’s trying too hard, but the band’s still funny.
TJIC has discussed the recent accident involving two teenagers. To summarize:
students are drunk
students are driving 70-80 mph
students are driving on a narrow residential street where speed limit is probably 30 mph, maybe less
students crash, and a passenger dies
As a former resident of Arlington, I will go on record saying that there are not many streets [...]
For some reason I remembered a cheesy 1970’s TV show about the boy raised by wolves who would get all feral when pissed off. Thats all I remembered. After 10 minutes on Google I give you……Lucan!
Modern television needs more plots like this:
Lucan becomes a prizefighter to pay the bills for a private detective [...]
I couldn’t quite decide what to call this post.
Man walks into Chinese restaurant, orders, somehow discovers that there is a menu in one of the 400 Chinese dilects where the prices are up to $1 less. Files a complaint with the freakin’ Human Rights Commission. Bloomberg calls for boycott.
Maybe I’m alone in my [...]
Watching UFC 70.
Most of the fighters came into the ring to metal, rap or heavy beat techno. Mirko Crocop came in to Duran Duran’s “Wild Boys”. He was knocked out in the first round.
By a guy from Brazil living in Ludlow, MA.
On April 18, 2002, Thor Heyerdahl died in Italy.
My copy of The Kon Tiki is pretty dog eared. Reading of his adventures as well as Joshua Slocum’s contributed to my love of the sea and sailing.
Was he a good scientist? Not really- but he was a great adventurer.
On your federal return, if you are getting a refund, you use the blue label, and the white for payments. For Massachusetts, you use the white for refunds and the blue for payments. Mitt would have never let this happen.
I’m not going to bother to link, but I’m seeing links all around the [...]
Home Depot is giving away compact florescent lightbulbs on Earth Day.
The n:vision brand (the soft white version) was named number one in a Popular Mechanics review- even better than an incandescent. I installed one in my Kitchen and have to agree that the technology is finally there performance wise.
Do I do this because I’m [...]
