people should not be afraid of their government


comming to a g8 summit near you:

Who says protecting yourself from sniper attacks or chemical warfare needs to be ugly business? Certainly not Dutch designer Tim Smit. His “Urban Security Suit” will be all the rage in a war zone near you. Made of stylish neoprene and strategically lined with body molded kevlar, this runway show stopper will be THE must have accessory for your next war, skirmish, struggle, conflict, combat zone or civil strife you find yourself in or starting. Aeon Flux eat your heart out.
Designer: Tim Smit

Remember the '60s
Mind-altering drugs were the best part of the
1960s. Nowadays these drugs have a bad rep-
utation simply because lots of people died
from them and many more had their lives
ruined. But let’s look on the bright side. I give
an example from personal experience. A cou-
ple of years ago a friend of mine and I both
suffered that common malady of late middle
age: debilitating depression. My friend is six
years older than I — just old enough to have
missed the era of being one’s own pharma-
cist. When depression struck my friend, he
thought, “I’m a worthless human. What have
I done with my life? I make myself and all the
people around me miserable. Why go on?”
I thought, “Bad acid!”
I immediately knew—from extensive
practice of introducing wrong chemicals into
my brain — that wrong chemicals were in my
brain. I went to a doctor. We fiddled around
with drugs, just like I always used to, except
legally. We found something that worked. I
have the right chemicals in my brain. And I
feel great.
My square friend, on the other hand, he…
Well, to tell the truth he did exactly the same
thing I did. He’s got the right chemicals in
his brain too, and he feels great. But there’s
a key difference between sandals-and-pot era
me and white-bucks-and-beer era him. He
keeps asking his doctor when he can get off
his meds. I keep asking if I can get more.

Chinese law decrees that all
reincarnations of living
Buddhas must receive
government approval or be
deemed “illegal or invalid.” All
reincarnation applications must
be submitted to the religious
affairs department of the
provincial and regional
governments and the state
council.

This is my husband. His name is the Berlin Wall and he was born on August 13, 1961. I expect you've heard of him; he is quite a celebrity. He lives in Berlin.
I used to work in a pharmacy. Now I own a museum. My husband's job was to divide East and West Berlin. He is retired now.

blog alert! blog alert!
Fatigue- e atunci cand cineva iti prezinta pentru a n-a oara saptamana asta ceva nou, nemaipomenit, tagg-uit cu permanentul "foarte tare, frate".
nd nw fr smthng cmpltly dffrnt:
.CSV va deveni cred unul dintre cele mai bune bloguri de popularizare a noilor stiinte de la KK incoace.
Este sigurul blog, citit de mine, unde comentariile sunt mai bune decat articolul in sine.
ultimul post este despre "crowd theory" -asa de post-summit.
TLTR by default.
merge foarte bine cu setul asta

„Până acum câţiva ani, sicilienii plăteau pizzo cu oarecare indiferenţă. Patronii nu înţelegeau că era vorba de un act care dăuna societăţii şi economiei,“ explică Ivanhoe Lo Bello, cel care a preluat şefia organizaţiei cu 4.000 de patroni, în urmă cu un an şi jumătate.
Ivanhoe cel Frumos, cum ar veni, e varful de lance al patronilor italieni in lupta cu mafia.

Tot despre China evident. Avem astazi un TLTR de 8 pagini de la National Geografic

This movie is inspired by the Bulgarian(?) movie Yo ho ho (1981).
The film was shot in 26 countries.

pai sa sustinem atunci, daca e de sustinut
Pe foarte bunul blog electrocutare-cutare am gasit azi un mix de la Clash the Disko Kids. E un truism sa mai zic ca n-am auzit de copiii astia.
Ce m-a frapat insa este totala lipsa de respect pentru muzica. O lipsa de respect asumata complet si care trece mult peste ce indrazneste miscarea electro traditionala sa faca.
Asta deja este ateism muzical.
Rezultatul, nu cred ca e, in totalitate, pe gustul nimanui (inclusiv al meu) dar nu cred ca le pasa.
But then again, it's not about music...
87.7 MB de Declaratie de Independenta
enjoy!
