as my friends and I call it, 'Facebook, the Address book for Jews.'
And on that note, the wedding, how went it?
( , Tue 15 Jan 2008, 21:23, Reply)

it is horribly full of cringy Jewish facebook groups by American teens, and I have been stalked by some very very odd people (like many b3tans I have a traveling circus)
The wedding was lovely! It was...a bit of a blur, the photographer was annoying and I kept on wishing I was behind the camera m'self - all my different spheres of friends got to meet each other, including techno-raver-compsci-students, religious college freshers from New Jersey, tree climbing friends and my old physics teach which was lovely, I got to dance around in a lab coat over my wedding dress while I got fanned with huge swirly paper lollipops and halfway through Ben Ofoedu decided to live up to his stereotype and get up on stage to sing 'Turn Around' which confused NewMrSquared's rabbi...
in other words, eclectic. Tbh everyone else was far more fussed about the wedding than I was, I just wanted to get on with the being married part - which is fantastic and wonderfully normal. I now know how to deal with a mother in law who wants to work with you on making your own chuppah - she was so ridiculously excited, she wanted to put beads and baubles and bells and lace and live kittens and magical disemboweled unicorns all over it. Unfortunately, when she started beading it looked like...well...very shiny maggots had infested it... (ramble over, phew!)

Dunno if this site's been posted before, but I like it. It's sort of an online jukebox. Check out mine if you want and see if you want one too :D

From Wikipedia - "The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique widely used in molecular biology. It derives its name from one of its key components, a DNA polymerase used to amplify (i.e., replicate) a piece of DNA by in vitro enzymatic replication."

What were you looking for when you found that? Are you branching out from music to DNA science?

this isn't anything like spiragraph. it's certainly more of a kalaiedoscope. Spirahraph wasn't based on rotational symmetary, just the gradual exponential expansion of circular form. So this really isn't like spiragraph at all.
Very cool link though - can't believe the amazing pics people have taken the time to produce!

If I'd watched this years ago without knowing who Alex Jones is I would have written this off as a staged show. The 'Bohemian Club' is a fact.

It might not be up for long, but this is Tom Cruise (for NINE MINUTES) making no sense at all.
It's for an award he won from the Scientologists.

2004 uber-dud Van Helsing, redone as it should be - with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee.
Far more entertaing that Hugh Jackman and $150 million of CGI could ever be.
I don't even miss Kate Beckinsale, with all these Hammer beauties floating around.

I like 'classic*' horrors on the whole and Van Helsing was dire!
Hammer i like though!
*Vampires, wearwolves etc

Christopher Lee playing a good guy, and Charles Gray - great film :)

does it work the other way round I wonder?
ie. Hammer soundtrack on a new horror film.

Choice pickings over at BBC News' 'also in the news' section today. This real-life re-enactment of rubbish 80's flick 'Weekend at Bernie's' made me titter. Made 10× funnier by the subheading "Very Dead".

Still, it is a funny story.

Sorry, not paying enough attention, my poor drug-addled brain isn't as sharp as it used to be. As an act of contrition, I shall rip out my own testicles. UURRRRGGGGGGG. Has anyone posted the 'Columbus Gave Europe Syphilis' story? news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7183540.stm apologies in advance if I'm just wasting space on the board, but still- if I was Columbus, I'd be secretly quite proud.

My mate also pronounces pukka as 'pooka' but then, he's your typical Wigan idiot.

They are good. I got them because at my old job, I gained notoriety for eating pie sandwiches.

I'd make a public statement that the 911 conspiracy was real on my last day, just to piss everyone off. Maybe I'd throw in some alien stuff too.
( , Tue 15 Jan 2008, 20:23, Reply)

it appears as though they've taken a step back and considered just how stupid a lot of what they were saying sounded. In one of the original versions they attempted to argue that flight 93 had been landed, and the people kidnapped by the Govt. They also went into a lot more detail of how they thought it was a missile that went into the pentagon, and how the terrorists that were meant to be on the plane were alive and well in Saudi Arabia. They seem to have back peddled quite a distance since then
