I first found this list on a BBS around about 1993 and it’s still floating around! It’s still as good as it was back then too – some of these are far out! 8. Learn to levitate. While your roommate is looking away, float up out of your seat. When s/he turns to look, fall Read more about 380 ways to freak out your roommate[…]
Apparently in the 1950s mr. Heineken tried to do something for the world by creating beer bottles that could be used to create housing in poor areas from. Unfortunately the plan was voted down somehow.

An ornithopter is an aircraft that flies by flapping its’ wings. Surprisingly this has never been done before, despite drawings of whacked out genius mr. da Vinci. After 30 years of trying Dr. James DeLaurier and his team managed a 14 second powered manned flight. What a sight that must have been.
Yup, Japan is talking pre-emptive strike. Remember, this is because N Korea is testing long and medium range missles that are fallling into the sea short of Japan itself – even though once in 1998 a missle was launched that flew over Japan itself. The threats are where you see them.
I’d heard rumours that David Hasslehoff made music and had some ego problems, but that left me unprepared for his latest foray into the realm of popular culture. wtf? Take your time and watch the whole thing. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3382491587979249836

The North has been having a field day, launching seven missles after a moratorium starting from 1998, when they fired a medium range missle over Japan. The ranges they fired aren’t reported, but apparently the long range missle failed.
With enough magnets in it to float 900 kilograms it looks damn cool. For sale al EUR. 1.2 million (!). Has anyone thought what that kind of magnetic field does to your brain?
Don’t fuck with N Korea or they will launch “annhilating strikes” on the US. This in response to the calls to N Korea to not testdrive their shiny new superlongrange missle.
Now there is no tobacco smoke warding off the midges, pubs in Scotland are being infested with stinging insects.
Apparently it’s a very old symbol, used to signify the Earth Mother, female anatomy and reproductive potenency.
