Sometimes I Fear For Humanity
BBC News: “Plane bomb hoaxer jailed” — get this … this guy is late for his flight from Heathrow back to Pakistan, so he calls in a bomb threat to delay the flight — using his own mobile phone — then turns up four days later for the replacement flight, and funnily enough is arrested…

“And I Thought These Things Smelled Bad … From The Outside”
Courtesy of ev … another reason why kazaa is a fucked piece of software — summary, it rewrites amazon urls to pass referral hits to kazaa’s associates account, and thus generate revenue for themselves, and stealing revenue from others — I won’t even consider putting it anywhere near my pooters now.

Rumble Rumble Rumble
Looks like there have been some interesting but unfatal minor earthquakes across England and Wales tonight … The first I knew of it was these comments on two separate IRC channels … #theoffice — smoothwall staff channel: [00:55] <Dan> what the fuck was that? [00:55] <Dan> it was like a tremmor [00:55] <Dan> before an…
