More Terrar.

TOKYO - At last, a way to end squabbles over which TV channel to watch — without buying a second set. Sharp Corp. has developed a liquid-crystal display that shows totally different images to people viewing the screen from the left and the right.

A vampire has been arrested in Ukraine after luring street children into her home for their blood.
Diana Semenuha, 29, believed that drinking blood could fend off a muscle-wasting condition. She kept the children intoxicated on drugs and alcohol and bled them regularly, selling the surplus to other black magic practitioners. When that weakened them, she dumped them back on the streets and lured replacements with the promise of a place to sleep and a hot meal.

That's ok...I don't approve of HIM. Glad I am not Catholic. The old pope approved of Harry Potter. Its ok one year but not the next. Oh, screw that.

Well, he's obviously read them, does this mean he's been "subtlety seduced" into corruption? (Beyond being a Nazi anyway.) What is he saying here? That he can handle his shit, and the rest of Christianity is much too stupid to read these books and not be induced into an obviously contrived bull-shit world??? Oh... Wait. Never-mind, he's got a point.

Now this is a truly new application of a keyboard, which I am sure will be rather hellishly expensive, but will probably not have any problem finding people to buy it judging from how much some fools are willing to pay for the reduced-size "Happy Hacker" keyboard--particularly since they willingly pay even more for the version where no one bothered to silkscreen labels onto the keys.

I give it a whole three months of this thing on the market before someone codes up a Drempels-style hack to make the keys change color and so on while the keyboard is being used. The possibilities are damn near endless.

Pimp.

This man deserves a patent with a large sack of money pinned to it.

This little internet Flame Warrior guide does not pretend to be comprehensive, rather it attempts to describe some of the main belligerents one might encounter in a mailing list, news group, bulletin board or chat room. The internet can be cruel and unforgiving, and those who wander out onto the battlefield would be well advised to know their enemies.

This is amusing as hell. Some of the better entries: Admin, Bong, Nanny, Cyber Sisters, Eagle Scout, Evil Clown, Issues, Jekyl and Hyde, Rebel Leader, Royals, Ideologue, and Target.

Last year, Mr. King was referred to Dr. Victor Aziz, a psychiatrist at St. Cadoc's Hospital in Wales. Dr. Aziz explained to him that there was a name for his experience: musical hallucinations.

Well... FUCK! The RIAA better not find out, or else they'll have to take his head!

Two photographs of the same person, from different periods of time (child and adult) are spliced together.

Really neat to see.

BME:  How did you decide what exactly to cut off?
GILLIAN:  That was obvious — it had to be our ring fingers. We were both just out of rough relationships, and wanted to both reclaim and be rid of those fingers... this has a permanence to it as well. You can take a ring off your ring finger, but you can never put your ring finger back on once you take it off. It’s something that will last forever — it’s a physical testament to how much I actually do love him.
CLIVE: And if we ever break up we’ll just tell people it’s a permanent shocker.
Think about it...
BME: Did either of you have an interest in amputation before this?
GILLIAN: No, and to be honest I never thought I would do one, but I think it’s one of those things that’s hard to understand until you feel it. It just sort of happened, and it feels right.
CLIVE: Like our love.

Diamonds are out. The deBeers control of the market for tetra-carbon be damned, people are coming up with new and more insane ways to show their commitment to each other.

I put my ring finger in Clive’s mouth and he put his ring finger in my mouth with our teeth resting right on the last joint. We looked in each other’s eyes, nodded, and bit down as hard as we could. It was a little disappointing because we couldn’t actually get all the way through, but we did pop the joint open and tear it a little. We cut the rest, just some skin and the tendon, the normal way.

Don't miss the pictures.

Update: This had been an April Fool's joke. Good one..
