It just gets better and better—it started with David “Talks-Slowly-Because-He’s-Mysterious” Blaine’s transparent box being pelted with eggs, but now he’s had to bring in extra security because of all the abuse he’s received. This includes: People driving golf balls at him from a nearby car park, A full English breakfast being thrown at him, 2 [...]
Q: How can you tell when US soldiers want to go home? A: When they spend an hour and a half killing eight policemen and blasting the shit out of a hospital. (For the best report I’ve read of the incident, read Robert Fisk’s article “A hail of bullets, a trail of dead, and a [...]
The Guardian has published a little article on the potential implications of having the Hutton Inquiry’s evidence online, but unfortunately they didn’t link to Softblade’s Reformatted Hutton Inquiry Transcripts, a site that takes the Hutton Inquiry site and re-packages it in a more usable format (the site’s now on hold, preparing for the next stage, [...]
Yet another story to file under “you couldn’t make this stuff up”: a man in North Carolina bought groceries using a fake 200 dollar bill, bearing the image of President Bush on the front. It also included signs on the front lawn of the front lawn of the White House with slogans such as “We [...]
Lots of cool CSS tricks to jazz up your lists. Also via Zeldman, designer Ryan Carver explains the hows and whys of his XHTML/CSS site for Lee Jeans. Woo-hoo, big corporations using standards!
Those of us that care about designing to web standards have long debated the best way to include Flash in valid XHTML pages. Unfortunately one of the best methods, the Flash Satay approach, seems to produce a lot of different results depending on the user’s browser, OS etc.. To try and figure out exactly where [...]
Few have heard of Diagnosis Murder. So when a blog discusses the finer points of said programme (Scott Baio v Charlie Schlatter), you’ve got to give them a certain credit. After all, it really is the worst programme of all time. However, surely such astute people should be getting enraged by Quincy’s quest for justice, [...]
Aside from finding your lover’s mouth around your genitals, can there really be a better way to wake up than to find David Blaine’s been pelted with eggs during his first night?
The US government has admitted that it doesn’t even know how many people it’s holding prisoner in the Guantanamo Bay concentration camp, let alone their names. Apparently translating the names from Arabic to English has created problems with spelling… hey, why bother finding out who you’re holding, when you can just call them Sub-human A-rab [...]
A very amusing Aussie parody of CNN. Some nice touches–I particularly liked the CNNNN4Kids’: “Will the evil boat people win out against our HyperTwin heroes, RITa + LiN?”
Ah, seems they’re entering the fourth stage of the big lie: Stage 1 – “We know the WMD are there” Stage 2 – “We still believe the WMD are there” Stage 3 – “We believe we will find evidence of WMD ‘programmes’” Stage 4 – “We were tricked into believing the WMD were there” Yes, [...]
Dimitris Perricos, the new chief U.N. weapons inspector, doesn’t sound particularly convinced by Tony Blair’s lies: “There is no doubt that the phrase of ‘within 45 minutes’ that was included in the British report did not correspond to reality.” “No one, of course, should go to war for a (weapons) program if they do not [...]
After spending the day talking about how sure-handed he was about his plans to bolster the US economy, President Bush proceeded to drop his dog Barney onto some tarmac. So the list of things Dubya is too feeble-minded to do grows ever longer: Swallow a pretzel Ride a Segway Run the world Hold a dog
