Little Gordon Ramsey - a brilliant advertising pisstake of a famous chef, sees a kid tearing apart his mum for making him a crappy boxed lunch then ripping into the manager of an empty restaurant because he’s been waiting an hour with his parents for their food. Grow some ****ing balls John!

From Yahoo Answers: “I live in Georgia, but I don’t see Russia anywhere, not even sound. I heard we are being bombed.?”

A brilliant example of stupidity from China.

Source unknown : A man got a nasty surprise when he tried to get out of his deckchair and found his testicles had become stuck between two slats of wood.  Mario Visnjic had been swimming naked of Valalta beach in Croatia and his testicles had shrunk in the cool sea.  When he sat down they slipped through the slats and then, as he lay in the sun, expanded back to normal size.  He was freed after he called beach maintenance services on his mobile phone and they sent a member of staff to cut the deckchair in half.

I blame Matt for this, he tagged me. This is how it works:

1. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
2. People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.
3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.

1. I am more interested in spirituality than computers. I can relate everything back to people and their thinking.
2. Some of the music I like is very obscure, including Tom Waits and French Tango Music: The Gotan Project. I’m listening to dZihan and Kamien (Austrian Electronica/Jazz) right now.
3. I can’t stand having coat hangers lying around the house, it drives me insane.
4. I’m lacto vegetarian (no meat, fish or eggs, but milk products are ok) and I don’t drink, smoke or take drugs.
5. Almost entirely the only liquid I drink is water and up to 4 litres a day.
6. I don’t like watching any TV or movies where any characters end up in very embarrassing or humiliating situations. Watching, say, Mrs Doubtfire is almost torture for me.
7. I’ve been known to so overwhelm myself thinking about too many things at once at work that I’d temporarily lose the ability to speak.
8. I used to practice Aikido.

Gah, now I have to think of 8 friends with blogs… decryption , andrew.wilson , silver , purana . Four will have to do.

Garfield minus Garfield . This cartoon is brilliant.  I stopped reading Garfield a long time ago because it just wasn’t funny any more and, from memory, is now written by a writing team and not Jim Davis himself. This adaption takes it from being a childish and stupid cartoon to one that very much more relates to the adult world.  From the site:

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Lets laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness in a quiet American suburb.

This .. is an awareness test. Brilliant!

 
Deep underneath an Italian hillside, below a small but un-remarkable house lay a secret concealed since 1978, when a man began creating an underground cavern of temples based upon visions he had since he was a child. In the early nineties, the Italian police demanded to see what was going on inside, yet were completely unprepared for what they discovered. Miles of intricately and stunningly painted and carved tunnels and temples, now known as the Temples of Damanhur.

The Net Dumbs us down. "New Nobel laureate Doris Lessing has used her acceptance speech to rail against the internet, saying it has ’seduced a whole generation into its inanities’ and created a world where people know nothing."  Just like blogs have.  I actually think that because young people haven’t experienced war and hardship that inanities are popular.  Comfort, in a way, is bad for our spirit.
