    The Man From Earth

    I got to watch this great movie last night and so wanted to know if anyone else had watched it (plus, it makes a good contrast to the I Am Legend post). 'The Man From Earth' is an independent film. Sci-fi genre, though zero special effects and most of it is set in a single room (the entire...

    Atheists and Christmas

    I don't know if there's any atheists around here :), but I have been wondering over the last few days... Firstly, what do you think of Christmas? Do you celebrate it at all? Secondly (and partly because I'm expecting the "yeah, but only as a secular holiday" type response): what's you're...

    Direct Exhaust Injection... Egads!

    OK, I'm no car person. In fact, I know fcuk all about them (I couldn't even get the OnStar to work properly, though that may have been a problem with the accent). Anyway, even with my extremely limited knowledge, I knew enough to laugh at this post...

    Surfer dude stuns physicists with theory of everything

    Admittedly this 'surfer dude' does have a PhD in Physics, but anyway... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2007/11/14/scisurf114.xml&CMP=ILC-mostviewedbox The abstract for his paper is at http://arxiv.org/abs/0711.0770 . For those of you who are of the 'physics...

    Hockey Season Starts...

    I know I'll probably in the minority here, but hockey is one of those sports that once you've been surrounded by it for a few weeks, it's hard not to get into it. I was fortunate enough to be in Calgary in 2004 when the Flames got into the playoffs for the first time in 7 years and ended up...

    Wanted: Gullible Lawyers

    This article's tagline is: "I was hired over e-mail. A boss I never met promised me $14,000 a month. How could I fall for that?" It's not a short read but I found it really interesting. Plus, the last line made me laugh... http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/display.php?id=2497

    Jails will be cleared to house protesters...

    http://www.smh.com.au/news/general/more-apec-pain-revealed/2007/08/24/1187462492953.html Thankfully, we apparently would rather release prisoners temporarily so that we can jail protesters without bail until after APEC, rather than make GWB have to see that we're not all bending over for him...

    Vision Test

    This is a really interesting 'vision' test (well, I think it is, anyway): you will need sound to listen to the audio, otherwise it won't really make any sense... http://www.geekarmy.com/Science/Crazy-Vision-Test.html

    Daniel's New Car

    Daniel's New Car You may not have heard, but Dan got some new wheels over the weekend... I wasn't able to get a snap of the whole vehicle as he was scooting by, but I did get the top half of it: http://www.clemsontalk.com/vb/showpost.php?p=613676&postcount=15 . The server is taking a real hit...

    Something To Make You Smile

    This made me smile, if only for the fact that it made me realise that my day hasn't really been that bad at all! "A 17-YEAR -old rookie plumber has burned down a £5 million ($12 million) waterside mansion in southwest England, after a soldering task during his first day on the job went...

    $206 million

    $206 million Don't know if anyone saw this or not and it wouldn't be that interesting, I don't think, except for the photo. Drug raiders in Mexico found a room with $206 million stacked (relatively) neatly in the corner... [br][br]

    Reasons You Shouldn't Forward Me That Email

    Reasons You Shouldn't Forward Me That Email With thanks to BBSpot.com, via Digg... Reasons You Shouldn't Forward Me That Email 11. I eat puppies, kittens, and other cute animals, and sending me pictures of them only makes me hungry for more. 10. I've been on the Internet forever and have...

    Fuel Efficiency Calculator

    Hey all, Sorry to ruin the fun, but I have a quick 'question' for you all... imagine a program that would let you track the fuel that you used in each and every one of your vehicles. All you do is enter which of the three fuel grades you put in, how much it cost and how many k's you had...

    Any Real Estate Agents here?

    Hi all: I've got plans for a couple of real estate web sites but was hoping for a real estate agent or two from the Sydney area to throw some ideas off of. In return, if I decide to go ahead with the site, I will give a fair amount of free access for their troubles. I don't want to go into...

    Lake Peigneur

    Has anyone heard of this lake before? I saw it on Digg just then... crazy story. Instead of trying to retell it myself, I give you two links: 1) From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Peigneur : mmm... words 2) From Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHol4ICeDoo : yay... video...

    International Anthems at Games

    Hey guys, Just wondering what the overall take is on the acceptable response to national anthems of international teams is when they are playing in your home country? Here's a little background on the question: last month, a Canadian hockey team was playing in the US (as they are wont to...

    A Free iPod?

    OK guys, so flame me if you like. I've decided that there's only one way to find out about these free iPod deals and so have signed up. I only need four more people (out of five :) ) to sign up under me to see if this works as easily as they say. Basically, you following the link, sign up (for...

    Is this going too far?

    http://www.post-gazette.com/breaking/20040329pornp6.asp Basically a 15 year old took photos of herself in various stages of stripping and performing various 'acts'. She is now being charged with sexual abuse of children, possession of child pornography and dissemination of child...

    Light Reading: Some Lists

    I just found a few 'Lists' that I found funny: we all know who Mr. T and Chuck Norris are. The final list was for an American football player named Tim Tebow: feel free to substitute it for your own sports hero (in this instance, I used our favourite Silvertails.net Head Admin for a chuckle)...

    Very Old News...

    ... but I was wondering if anyone had posted this story before? What do you get when you cross a nutter Welshman with that crazy rugby game? Something that'll make any man cringe...
