Global Warming

LEGENDARY Nessie hunter Robert Rines is giving up his search for the monster after 37 years.

The reason???

Rines believes that Nessie may be dead, a victim of global warming.

You can't make this stuff up.

Ebay changing

I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. The boss buys and sells stuff on ebay. I only buy stuff occasionally.

UK and US myths

By not bothering to teach history, 23% of the people living in the UK think Winston Churchill was a mythical figure and not a real person. The man died in 1965 so its not like it is hard to find people who were alive when he was around. But it shows the state of education and culture in the UK, they have stopped honoring their heroes out of fear of offending someone or because the hero was not perfect in the modern eyes of the public or elite.

Rosie O'Donnell is now claiming President Bush almost killed her in 2000. She was so distraught he had become the Republican nominee, she went fishing and cut herself with a knife which almost killed her. Because the evil Republicans nominating Bush, its Bush's fault she hurt herself when going fishing. Amazing.

Bobby Fisher

Booby Fisher, the greatest chess master ever from the US and one of the best in the world died last week. A brilliant man who did not seem to understand the world outside of chess and did not seem to enjoy his life.

Afternoon light reading

A retired Special Forces soldier was tried for defending himself when an intruder broke into his home.

The charge?

"Failing to use a weapon of sufficient caliber".

Fortunately, his defense attorney was able to get him acquitted.

The trial was by his peers at the Chapter XXXIII of the Special Forces Association.

Read the whole thing.

His Wife is a Real Bitch

No, really, pictures of the happy couple after the link.

P. Selvakumar married the sari-draped former stray named Selvi, chosen by family members and then bathed and clothed for the ceremony Sunday at a Hindu temple in the southern state of Tamil Nadu...

From the sounds of it, his life became a wreck after he stoned a couple of dogs 15 years ago. I don't know, but to think he's being held by the power of superstition to the point he would open himself up to this is just a wee bit off.

Whoops

Man loses house on the freeway, and there it sits, near the Cahuenga Pass.

What's for Dinner?

If there is any doubt that my race is all about food, retire those doubts: Chinese villagers eat dinosaur bones believing them to be from "flying dragons" and possessing healing powers for things such as "dizziness and leg cramps".
