Mysterious fanged fish found in pond in Utah

May 21, 2008


Video: MSNBC

This mysterious fanged fish was found in pond in Utah. I don’t think I would like to go wading in that pond.

Four or five months ago I was swimming in our local river, as I was walking out of the water I felt this thing attacking my ankle, it was really latching on and biting me so I quickly got out of the water. Apparently it was a catfish and I had disturbed it’s breeding ring where it has it’s eggs laid.

When I got out of the water I had a small amount of blood dripping from my ankle and a few little bite marks. Somehow I don’t think that the fish in this video would have been quite so forgiving, you would really know it if it had latched on like the catfish did.

Anyways, my advise is stay out of the local ponds!



Steve Ballmer gets egged at Hungarian University

This guy is an absolute nut case. He usually comes onto stage with his phony exaggerated enthusiasm. He is absolutely over the top with his hype in an attempt to create a good feeling and then sell the new Microsoft product to his audience and therefore get people buying more and more Microsoft products. I just think to myself how crazy he is. Anyway, that’s my little tirade for the moment, so back to this post.

GOOD RIDDANCE to him, If I could have been there I would have helped this bloke throw some more eggs.

I love these little well thought out thingies… if you’ve got kids they’ll love it too.



I hope for your sake they’re practicing safe sex

May 20, 2008

For those who been with us a while I must confess that I’m prone to the occasional act, of what I guess could be call Anarchy. Well it all started when I was dragged out of the Kenyan Bush and at the not so tender age of about 7 or 8; we all know what absolute terrors come from that age. Anyway, I was taken to church by the school I’d just started in England.

Actually, now that I think about it there had been an earlier incident. A teacher had dragged me out of the class by my ear for saying bloody, and she’d threatened to wash my mouth out with soap. I had no idea what I’d done, I didn’t know what was the problem, I had after all only been in this, my first British school, for a couple of hours… it made no sense. Where I grew up bloody wasn’t a big deal, but then I didn’t realize I was a heathen. What I did know was I’d never been woman handled like that before and I did not like it one little bit, and I realized this race of people and me weren’t going to get on at all.

So getting back to the church thing. As far as I was concerned it was bullshit, so I told my mum, a Norwegian heathen; my father was a British heathen who went back to Africa after flying Spitfires there during WWII. Anyway, I did not want to go to church again, so I got my mum to write me a note. She also wrote me a note because I did not want to wear a school tie… nor a uniform for that matter, but I consented to wear similar colors; though later much nicer styling, and still later when they tried to give me spelling detention; I’m dyslectic though at the time we did not know that, I got my mum to write a note saying not to put me on detention.

OK so you have the picture I guess, I’m a hard ass, I’m in your face if you screw with me or mine… but I love my mum and I still ring her just about every week, and I like animals, even cats, though I will occasionally torment them as I did to my mother’s bossy horse, who tried to put me in her pecking order. So I drove her nuts to the point she would go to the furtherest end of the paddock to try, unsuccessfully, to stop me from patting her. :)

About now your wondering what is Beam on about? Well I’m about to use another dirty word…

A Line of Spectacular Proportions…

May 19, 2008

but only if your not some sort of religious nut… their line is very short indeed, and women are reduced to an adjunct, a rib removed from a male, sort of a second class citizen. However, prior to the Judo, Christian and Muslim religions, most of the gods were female.


Video: YouTube

Still though, the perspective used in this little video clip gives a spectacular perspective… but a worrying thought and question arises. In all that time, throughout all those uncounted generations, will an Alien race some time in the distant future, visit our beautiful little planet and wonder, what on Earth happened, as in the Steven Spielberg & Stanley Kubrick’s movie A.I. (Artificial Intelligence).

For those who have never seen this beautiful movie here’s the A.I. Trailer.

Airless tyres by Michelin, what has happened to them?

May 18, 2008


Video: YouTube

What has happened to these tyres. Apparently they were introduced to the world back in 2005. 3 years later and I have not seen any cars with them. They look like such a good idea and I thought they may have taken off by now.

The accompanying blurb says:-

Radical new tire design by Michelin. The next generation of tires

These tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon.

The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips will not work on these tires.

This is what great R&D will do, and just think of the impact on existing technology:
A.) no more air valves…
B.) no more air compressors at gas stations….
C.) no more repair kits…
D.) no more flats…

I was surprised to see the new Michelin tires though on an Audi in a Philadelphia Car show, but I guess the Germans do make the world’s best cars… they just cant win wars. So now I’ve both offended and pleased some Americans & Germans. Oh well, you can please some of the people etc. etc. Take the blue pill not the red one if it’s a problem.

If anybody can has these tyres or knows someone who has used them, we would really appreciate some information about how successful they are in real use day in day out.

Idiot move on a swing

This guy is so lucky that he didn’t end up in a wheelchair. Sure it’s fun to go high on the swing, I used to as a kid and even now swing way up as far as the swing goes, but I wouldn’t let myself go upside down like that. What a crazy little stunt.



Only in Saudi Arabia (WTF!!!)

May 18, 2008


Video: YouTube

Nice roads… try that in Australia and you’ll get to check out our equally great hospital system too. As to the odd moron who thinks it would get you your moment of fame, sure go for it mate, Darwinism is alive and well; except amongst a few religious nutters, prove to us your just another oxygen thief.

Now to finish on a positive note, it is somewhat reckless despite the superb roads in Saudi Arabia, but it’s good to see Arab ‘kids’ are no different in most ways to Aussie, Pome, German, French, Spanish, Scandinavian or US ‘kids’… better that they die being stupid rather than fighting in some stupid war.
