In Canada, old people have to pass a test every two years after the age of 70 or something. Not too sure about the details, but my grandfather lost his license when he made a left turn at a red light (People in Canada drive on the opposite side of…

I especially enjoy how the media likes to use both missile and rocket when referring to the equipment which NK is launching. They're firing a rocket to send something into space; it isn't loaded with explosives or a nuclear weapon. China, Japan, Europe, Russia, India and America all launch rockets…

And I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the 'activists' at 2chan decide to go after Terrie Lloyd now that this article has been published. Their version of freedom of speech is sadly a one way street.

2chan was the reason why the daily wai wai was shut down. Most of the threats on the site are nothing but threats and the people who post don't have the confidence to lose their anonymity in real life. Just like 4chan, posting threats in 2chan is like pissing in…

English is the language of the seas: Ships communicate with eachother in English. English is the language of Air traffic controllers and Pilots all over the world (except for Quebec). The Alternative major languages in the world are as follows: Spanish, Chinese, Russian.

I don't think that this will be too good for his career: having been arrested in the United States as a foreigner means that his identity will be flagged and he won't be allowed to return. If Nara can't attend gallery openings and exhibitions in NY, it seems unlikely that…

BBLeo: checked the link, but didn't find anything about cannabis crazed maniacs raping women and molesting children. I believe that in your judgement of drugged out losers, you might be grouping in harmful drugs like meth, heroin and crack with less harmful drugs like prozac, lithium and cannabis. I don't…
