Russia to Retrieve Poorly Guarded Uranium
Russia and the U.S. have signed an agreement according to which Russia will retrieve spent nuclear fuel from 17 research reactors built in former Soviet republics and other Eastern European countries according to Soviet designs, Interfax reported. Financial Times called the facilities where the uranium is stored “unsecured” and CNN is terming them “poorly guarded”.


Missing Black Holes Found
European researchers have found 30 previously hidden supermassive black holes anchoring faraway galaxies, which suggests there at least twice as many of the colossal gravity wells as thought.

Alabama Superior Court Justice Roy Moore addresses his supporters outside the Alabama Judicial Building where a monument of Cthulhu was put in place by Moore which he has refused to take down, August 21, 2003 in Montgomery, Alabama. Alabama's Supreme Court judges, breaking ranks with their chief justice, ruled that a Cthulhu monument must be removed from the state court building to comply with a federal order, drawing protests from insane cultists who want to keep it there.

Larry Ellard of Pleasant Grove, Alabama, stands next to a large tablet representing Cthulhu, which he claims will "rise from the depths of the city of Rylegh, and rule the universe for a thousand thousand years, IA! IA!" on the steps of the Alabama Judicial Building in Montgomery August 22, 2003. Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore's defiant stand over the cult of Elder Gods is only the latest skirmish in a running battle between the ranks of insane cultists and civil libertarians that dates back to Abdul "The Mad Arab" Alhazred's 1910s epic about the Necronomicon, experts say. With legal contests underway in over a dozen U.S. communities, fanatical religious activists hope to find an Elder Gods case that can persuade the U.S. Supreme Court to break its quarter century of silence on the issue.

Crappy Work Anecdote #247

I'm at work Wednesday night - Origin night as per usual for me - and as you get with a show with a support act, people don't want to go into the Theatre. So they're outside at the bar, and one of the bright sparks decides to switch one of the monitors over - the televisions which let us the complex staff know what's going on inside the theatre - over to watch the football. Now, that sort of stops me from doing my job properly. So I get to go over, explain to the small crowd that has gathered that if they want to watch the football they can go down the road to the pub. These monitors aren't provided so they can watch whatever tv they want. They naturally whinge, but so what - I'm doing my job. I'm gone less than two minutes, when guess what - some twat in dodgy jeans shorts and one of the arse-stupid trucker hats decides to switch the tv back over to the football again. So I get to go over again - explain to this gentleman (and I use the term loosely) the situation yet again, tell him not to touch the television and switch it off. Naturally he's a bit upset and proceeds to say some unkind things. Ignoring this I'm heading back to my position as it dawns on me that the twit I've just had a run-in with is Willie Carne - ex Brisbane, Queensland and Australian League winger. Moron.

Language Confusion

From Roy Master's column

After all, the NSW team had listened to a story told by Russian-born world champion boxer Kostya Tszyu regarding his early problems with spoken English.

When he arrived in Australia, trainer Johnny Lewis employed a translator and the instruction was given to Tszyu before his first fight to "win the first round".

An incredulous Lewis watched Tszyu attack his opponent like a crazed Tartar and knock him out. Asked why he departed from strategy, Tszyu said: "I thought you said, 'Win in the first round'."

Library Learning

Two things you quickly learn about using University (in fact, any) library

1. The book you're looking for is always on the bottom shelf.

2. Older text books are the best because they have all the best bits underlined - it saves oodles of time.

Media Bias? Surely Not

"In normal circumstances, I would have agreed with Morgan's many critics. But this war, and its false justification, was anything but normal, and I believed that he acted for the public interest in trying to highlight a controversial and distasteful matter."

This is a quote from the Guardian's media writer Roy Greenslade (who is a former editor of The Mirror). He is of course referring to the scandal that has emerged when the UK's Daily Mirror was caught publishing fake pictures of British soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners. What was made worse was that rather than apologizing for his error, editor Piers Morgan refused to apologize for lying to the public. THat's right - lying - not telling the truth. And now Morgan is seeking 1.5 million pounds in compensation because he lost his job as a journalist because he was caught lying...

So, what can you take from the above quote from Greenslade. That if you disagree with an issue, it's perfectly acceptable to distort the truth and print blatant falsehoods? Sounds more like it's acceptable to do so as long as you're pushing the currently acceptable media agenda. After all - we can't expect the media to bother with the truth can we...

This Unprecedented Solar Eclipse is No Cause for Alarm

Just a little anecdote from my last dose of nightwork.

At the start of the night, I was just about to climb into Kronos (my car, not a spaceship or anything - just in case you're reading this and have never met me or something. Oh, you have a warty face and smell like the vomit of a lemur, too.) when I looked up at the moon. "Great," I remember thinking - "Does this mean we'll have lots of crazy people call up?" (For the record - don't believe the rumours about full moons. The last few nights that have been crazy have been not-full-moon nights. And the full moon nights have been relatively sedate.)

Then, on the way home, I looked and saw the moon... and it was a crescent. A thin crescent.

It wasn't until I got home and told Adam about it that I found out there was to be a lunar eclipse that night. Guess I caught the tail end of it.

But I was starting to think perhaps the crazy person was me...

Cue the weird music and the wiggling fingers that are somehow supposed to make these things scary.

Good Music

When you've got alot of CD's, it's easy sometimes to go for quite a long time without listening to many of them. I've purposefully been listening to a couple of CD's that looked a little dust-covered due to neglect and I've been reminded just how hard this band rocks.

Political Cartoons

I find most political cartoons to be pretty silly these days - often taking cheap shots without much thinking and playing up to the left-wing intelligentisa. But every so often a real gem like this one come along. It's a corker.

Essential NEW WORDS FOR 2004 editions for the work-place vocabulary.

screwed and die.

Videogame Character Threatens National Security?

"Apparently, 'the lead item on the government's daily threat matrix one day last April' was clear and definite: a reclusive millionaire had formed a terrorist group with the intent of launching chemical weapons attacks on Western cities. The White House was notified and the Director of the FBI briefed as the government raced to find information. But then, according to USNews.com, a White House staffer decided to Google for information on suspected threat Don Emilio Fulci and found him -- in a video game - Sega's action title Headhunter. No word on exactly which sources and methods came up with this gem, but word in the E Ring is that Fulci had issued the cryptic warning, 'You have no chance to survive make your time'."

Northrop Grumman-Built High-Energy Laser Destroys Large-Caliber Rocket in History-Making Test
Shootdown Shows MTHEL's Potential Versatility Against Increasing Range of Battlefield Threats

REDONDO BEACH, Calif., May 6, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- As the scope of battlefield threats continues to expand, so does the versatility of a high-energy laser system to defeat them. The U.S. Army's Mobile Tactical High Energy Laser (MTHEL) testbed destroyed a rocket on May 4 that's larger, faster and that flies higher than previous threats destroyed by the laser weapon demonstrator. Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) built the demonstrator for the Army and the Israel Ministry of Defence (IMoD).

Mea Culpa???? Mea Dickhead more likely

For instructions on how to completely destroy your career, may I point you to this. It's one thing to lie once, it's another thing completely to continue to live that lie and use it as a justification for arguing things you otherwise couldn't.

He's one of those rabid hand-wringing left-wing dickhead's who think it's pithy to take propaganda adverts from WW2 and the like and photoshop cheap jokes and shots onto them transforming them into the typical anti-US anti-Bush shit that so-many people swallow up as gospel truth. You know - like this.

Yes - some of them are funny. But mostly they're stupid gross oversimplifications or downright lies which are expected to be accepted as the truth for no other reason than, "ya know - Americans are evil"...

And of course whenever he was challenged on his beliefs or arguements he'd eventaully come back with "I was a U.S. Ranger - I served in the Army - I know what I'm talking about". Except of course - he didn't. He lied about ever serving in the army. And instead made a buck off that lie.

Now some people are giving him a taste of his own medicine.


Why'd Wright decide to come clean with his lie? A guilty conscience as he claims? Or was it because the Washington Post was about to expose him as the liar he is.

Check out what an ex-girlfriend thinks of him. Someone who was dating him while he was suppose to be watching Panama burn...

I know that everyone will need sometime to get over the shock of someone on the left lying in order to advance their political cause. Hrmmm - I really should get back to finishing that assignment shouldn't I...

[Update] - this is rather funny.
