    RIP Miss Moneypenny

    The first and the best. Classy lady. She also did the voice for Atlanta in the supermarionation Stingray and played the mom in Adventures in Rainbow Country. Remember those? Bond star Lois Maxwell dies at 80...

    Insanity in the U.K.

    What the hell is going on over there man? Police are considering charging a 10-year-old boy with a race hate crime after he was beaten by a Slovakian woman with an iron bar. That's right. Jeezus H. Here's the rest of it...

    You can sneak across the U.S./Canadian border

    ...with a duffle bag full of weed, or plutonium, or widgets, or beer, or fridge magnets or... Really? Holy crap. You always could. And vice versa. It's been in the papers before. You know, the longest undefended border in the world. But, this was exposed in a 13 page report by undercover...

    How much water do you (mis)use?

    I'm not an naive idealist but some things make me wonder. We are so resource-rich in Canada that we take a lot of things for granted. Fresh water is one of them. I imagine if we were to tell someone in a less fortunate country that we pour drinking water into pools, toilets, golf courses and...

    Navy to mask swastika-shaped barracks

    The world has become full of the too-easily-offended. Because you can see this from google earth now, it has to go. Surely it wasn't built as an hommage to Adolph. Besides, the symbol has been in use for ages, long before our nazi dudes picked it up. Sheesh. What a waste of money here...

    Iran hangs 3 for rape

    Any rapist, anywhere, deserves this in my opinion. IRAN hanged three men in public today for raping and robbing twelve young women, most of them university students, Iranian media reported, in the latest of a series of executions in the Islamic Republic. Hadi Jafartabar, Mirhadi...

    No Progress in Darfur (graphic)

    I wish this tragedy could be sorted out once and for all. "United Nations"? GENEVA (AP) - Darfur's human rights situation has not improved in recent months despite increased efforts by Sudan's government and the United Nations, a group of U.N. investigators said Monday. Presenting...

    Top 5 facts on US Military Oil Consumption

    Forgive me if this is a repost (the original source was 2006) but here is some staggering information for those so-inclined: The US Military budget was raised to US$532.8 Billion for the year 2007, around 3.7% of the country's GDP. This is more than the combined defense budget of China...

    1GB 20 years ago and 1GB now

    I putzed around on Vic20's and Commodore 64's like a lot of people but my first machine that took me online was an old Compaq 486, win 3.1 and a 14.4 modem. I'm amazed that I was amazed by it all back in 1997. :lol: Here's the progress of 1GB. I wonder where we'll be in another 20 years...

It's always a good time...

    Do we still need the Olympic Games?

    Well do we? Given the exorbitant costs related to this public relations and international dick swinging contest, I say no. Athletes have multiple chances to compete against each other every year. In hockey, for example, Canadians care more about the World Cup (when we beat their arses...
