What the hell is
going on in Louisiana? At school, black kids aren't allowed
to sit under a tree - it's for whites. Nooses are hung, by white students,
from the tree, but that's OK. White student pulls a gun on a two black students,
who take it away from him. The black students are charged with theft - the
white student isn't charged at all. Now, a white student taunted black kids
with the N word, and got beat up. Six black kids are charged with attempted
murder.
Number of the beast, baby!
It seems that some California companies are making
employees have RFID tags surgically embedded. This allows the company to track your movements. How
exactly this could ever be legal, I don't know, but now law makers are trying
to make it illegal.
You don't have to believe in Darwinism for it to be real
Now that the remaining hostages are safely home, South
Korean evangelicals are upset at the government for trying to ban missionary
trips to Afghanistan. The pastor of the church that just got two of its members
killed is not cowed
by recent events. Apparently he was making inflammatory
statements even while
the hostages were being held. He thinks that he needs martyrs. Anyone want
to buy him a ticket?
Rugby World Cup!
Yep. it's time for the
third largest
sporting event in the world (after only
the Olympics and Soccer World Cup). I hope the French fans are as good as the
Aussie fans were four years ago. When smaller teams, that didn't have large
fan bases, played each other in Australia, the organizers divided the spectators
into supporters for each side -- and they really took it to heart, developing
cheers and signs for "their" team. For some teams, this was the largest
group of supporters they had ever played in front of. I
hope Canada (ranked 13th)
does
well,
but
my
heart
is
with
the All Blacks.
oops-daisy
Not quite as
amazing as it looks, because the airplane is really doing
a slow face-plant, but as this plane flips onto its back, you can see
into
the cockpit. You can see grainy
video here.
It Takes a Chaser....
Australia's comedy team "the Chaser's War on Everything" have crashed
the APEC security zone in Sydney Australia. How'd they do it? they disguised
themselves as an official Canadian motorcade. To see some of their other adventures,
go to youtube and search for Chasers, or click
here. Chasers' earlier APEC
sketch is online here. Note when
it jumps from being in Sydney to Melbourne (800 km away).
