Water.

A new vehicle from Japan runs on water. Beat that! Of course, this will drive the price of water sky-high once speculators get involved.

In Memory of George Carlin

"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What’s that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you’re too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating …and you finish off as an orgasm."

sandals, tevas, and flip-flops

Summer is here. The Silly Season has almost arrived, and EURO 2008 has some silly balls. Of course, on this side of the pond, it's always silly season, isn't it? This sounds hopeful, but I'll believe it when I see it. Electro-shock therapy. A new urban legend used by fear-mongering types. The bad stuff in Zimbabwe required a plan, and now Tsvangirai has pulled out of the race to prevent more bloodshed. Inside an interrogation, minus torture. You haven't forgotten about Afghanistan, have you? The real McCain? Only his hairdresser knows for sure... Flip-flop, flip-flop, flip-flop - that's the predominant sound out of Washington, D.C. Perhaps they should enforce a stricter dress-code? How Darwin won the race (he wasn't wearing sandals).
