hardly. who thinks dressing like female Fantômas is a good idea in the first place? he should have just dressed up like a muslim lady where you can only see the eyes. they are COMMON, exist, won't scare people, no one can tell who you are. muslim ladies are like modern day ninjas.

One day (after a few beers) I just said 'Go on then, do it now!' and handed him knife (a steak knife off a plate) and after much threats, whining, stand offs and finally tears he threw the knife down and left.
If you were REALLY gonna do it A: You wouldn't be standing in front of everyone announcing it every weekend and B: You wouldn't be a vegan out to save the planet and spread the word about endangered species and the plight of people you haven't even met, you wouldn't give a FUCK about anything like that, or indeed anyone at all, least of all yourself, and if you ever get that low the way people behave is COMPLETELY different, they just stop giving a fuck and do crazy risky shite no one in their right mind would ever do or start selling/giving away everything they own, so when you see THAT in a good mate, start to worry!

I fear that the true story may never be known though. There is previous history of data recorders involved in Airbus/Air France crashes being tampered with. It would be easy to declare the recorders useless after two years underwater if they contained any evidence against the airline or manufacturer...

In many ways it was a predecessor to Wikipedia- anyone could become a 'reporter' & submit entries.
It didn't take of as much as it could and last time I checked it varied wildly between dull articles on the mechanics of differentials and hilarious ones on driving technique.

I have to read loads of crap about social media (work in advertising) and I get angry with people who think social networking is anything new.
What this made me think of, though, is the whole thing about entertainment. You read old novels, and after dinner parties the guests all do "acts" or performances to entertain each other. And now we have YouTube, B3ta, and any other number of things where people are again entertaining each other, rather than just using mass-produced entertainment.
