In a bid to avoid the lowest presidential approval rating in 70 years*, President Bush signed the PRO-IP Act into law today. While not quite on par with, say, an ultimate solution to the world economic crisis, the law will create new jobs, er, one new job: The Intellectual Property Czar.

Backed by the RIAA and MPAA, the PRO-IP Act has drawn criticism for its potential for extreme punishment. In its proposed state, the act could grant the government permission to seize all computers and compatible devices from a home if a single, pirated MP3 was discovered on one of the machines. So, about that approval rating ...

We're doomed, yaaaay.

It's the only telephone available for a village of Amaraya people that live at 5000m above sea-level in the Andes.

Qantas near miss ... this time in a bus

Quote:
Seven people were hurt when a Qantas bus and a vehicle had a near miss on the air side of Sydney Airport's Qantas domestic terminal today.

A Qantas spokesman said the bus was taking about 50 passengers from the international terminal to the airline's domestic terminal when the incident occurred about 8.30am.

The bus driver was forced to swerve to avoid hitting an airport operations vehicle.

Met her on a blind date, helping out an old mate
Waiting at the corner, she’s be dressed in black
There was I expecting a really tasty bird
He said she was good looking, I should have doubt his word
When I saw her there she was a real disgrace
I thought nice legs shame about the face

I had to take her dancing, I couldn’t let her down
So we caught the bus to the other side of town
Out upon the dance floor, I wasn’t getting far
So I had a drink with my friends up at the bar
I asked them what they thought of her they fell about the place
And they said nice legs shame about her face

She said could we go bowling,
I said that would be fine
But when I bought the tickets
She’d already changed her mind
She was turning out to be a real hard case
Nice legs shame about the boat race

Downed a gin and soda, tapped me on the shoulder
Whispered in my ear it’s getting kind of late
When I took her home we hardly said a thing
I walked her to the door, expected to go in
She looked me up and down and really put me in my place
She said nice legs shame about your face
Nice legs shame about your face

Right now it sounds like MHG is having the bandage on his burns changed before bedtime. Because all I can hear echoing down the corridor to my office is a little three-year-old voice saying "OH FUCK. OH FUCK. OH FUCK."

Did you start out intending never to swear in front of your kid? That's the stage I'm at, not sure if I'll manage it.

From the sounds of it, that seems like the most appropriate thing to say. Poor guy.

At least now Marshall knows something about when it's appropriate to swear. In the future, I can see Si saying to him "Is your ass melting? No? Then stop swearing".

w00t, BIL takes the last wicket with less than 20 minutes of play left on the final day to dismiss Kenya and the Irish win by an innings and 65 runs - Ireland are now off to the Intercontinental Cup final and Mrs K is talking about us going to next cricket World Cup

My thoughts exactly.

I would have expected something along the lines of...

"Do those legs go all the way up?"

"Those boots were made for walking... Which is rather unfortunate as due to her deformity she does very little of that."

"She's an organic version of a Mech!"


If you look completely 'non-standard' and that's the worst you get then you should count yourself lucky (at least on the abuse from random strangers front).
