Proof that people driving exotic sports cars are mostly tools. Mr House is a tool for a few reasons. First was the reason for crashing is costly ride. "The man jerked the wheel, dropped his cell phone, and the car’s front tire left the frontage road and entered a muddy patch..." Dropped his cell phone. I hate fuckers who use their phones while driving. It's dangerous, stupid and it also makes you look like a BIGGER tool. Especially in a foreign sports car. Seriously, the only thing missing from this picture is a orange spray tan and a passenger called Guido.
But not only this, once he put the car in the lake. He left it running for 15 minutes! Because engines just love salt water. And you'd think a guy who runs a motor mechanics would know better. Mr House, you're a tool.

There probably aren't too many U.S. troops in Afghanistan who would pass up the opportunity to bite Osama bin Laden's head off, and soon, thanks to PETA, they can. Following news reports that chocolates are almost as hard to find in Afghanistan as an oceanfront, a longtime PETA supporter and chocolatier is making special chocolates embossed with the head of bin Laden himself. And there are other pluses -- the chocolates are dairy-free, which means that no cows were harmed to make them, and anyone, including lactose-intolerant soldiers, can eat them.
"These delicious dark chocolate 'bin Laden Bites' give a whole new meaning to the adage 'Revenge is sweet,'" says PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk. "Our troops deserve a chuckle, and PETA's vegan chocolates will give them that as well."
PETA has its own bone to pick with bin Laden. In addition to bin Laden's murder of humans, one of his sons wrote a memoir in which he revealed that his father gassed the younger bin Laden's two dogs in a chemical-warfare experiment. Also, countless animals suffered and died of starvation and dehydration when their guardians were killed in the attacks on the World Trade Center, leaving the animals without care. Many more animals suffered and died from exposure to toxic fumes and from other causes when apartments in the "hot zone" were sealed off for many days with dogs, cats, companion rats and mice, guinea pigs, gerbils, rabbits, and fish remaining inside. In memory of them all, PETA is arranging to have extra chocolates made to be sold stateside.
When you think of the world's most prolific pot smokers, certain names come to mind: Snoop, Cheech and Chong, Willie Nelson.
How about Irvin Rosenfeld?
The 56-year-old Fort Lauderdale stockbroker will put his name among the greats when he sets a world record tomorrow for weed consumption while lighting up his 115,000th joint.
The best part is that it's all legal.
"Yep, provided by Uncle Sam," Rosenfeld told NBCMiami.com. "They grow it for me, I find that quite ironic."
Rosenfeld's pot has been provided by the government since 1982, when he became a patient in the Federal Drug Administration's Investigational New Drug Program. Grown on a farm on the campus of the University of Mississippi, the weed is delivered to a local pharmacy where Rosenfeld gets it by the bushel.
Rosenfeld suffers from a rare bone disorder called multiple congenital cartilaginous exostoses, which causes severe pain, alleviated by a healthy dose of ganja.
He's been getting 300 joints every 25 days for the past 27 years, and said he smokes between 10 and 12 per day.
Truckers Delight animated video clip directed by newcomer wunderkid Jérémie Périn who takes the song's title (a tribute to those little pleasures that the lonely truck- driver indulges himself in) and takes it to the next level. Think Spielberg's Duel + Russ Meyer's Faster Pussycat Kill Kill! and Marc Dorcel's wildest fantasies. All warped into an 8-bit Sega era style graphic. And this clumsy and somehow pretentious description doesn't even come close to what you're about to see: it's très funny,très dirty, -très sexy. Très Flairs indeed.
A Wonky hole is the Australian term for submarine freshwater springs on the seabed in the Great Barrier Reef of Queensland. Wonky holes can be found in the coral reef up to 60 km offshore.
Wonky holes are located along riverbeds which existed in the last glacial period ending about 11,000 years ago. At that time of the last glacial maximum much of northern Europe and North America was covered by ice sheets up to 3 km thick; the water tied up in the glacial ice lowered the sea level more than 120 m. The sediment in the submerged river beds from that period have been covered with coral in many places. Since the sediment is more permeable than the surrounding materials, it channels fresh water to thin spots in the coral, creating the fresh water springs called wonky holes.

TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland.
Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House that the Classification of Computer Games and Images Act 1995 is currently out of step with the wishes of the electorate.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House that it be amended to permit computer games to receive the R18+ classification when they have been refused classification under the Commonwealth Act.
Put simply, we need your help people of Queensland. The e-petition simply puts forward that the classification system does not accurately reflect modern day standards, and an R18+ system needs to be introduced. This will allow a reclassification of games to R18+ when they have been refused. The QLD government has actually allowed this to be posted on their website, so it looks like they are actually listening to their people.
So bloody well help you beautiful Queensland sons of bitches.

A 15-year-old boy who was killed by his father in an execution style killing spent the last moments of his life pleading, "No, Daddy! No!"
Jamar Pinkney Sr. is facing a first degree murder charge after allegedly shooting his 15-year-old son after discovering he had been having inappropriate contact with a 3-year-old girl.
Jamar Pinkney, Sr. appears before Chief Judge Brigette R. Officer in 30th District Court in Highland Park, Mich. on Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2009. Jamar Pinkney, Sr.,a 37-year-old father irate over hearing his 15-year-old son had sexual contact with a 3-year-old girl made the teen strip at gunpoint, marched him to a vacant lot and shot him to death despite pleas from the boy and his mother, a relative said.
Jamar Pinkney Jr. was shot in the head Monday by his 37-year-old father, Jamar Pinkney Sr., who allegedly made the teen strip his clothes off and kneel in a vacant lot before he was killed by a single bullet.
The boy's mother, Lazette Cherry, told the Detroit Free Press that Pinkney Sr., showed up at her Highland Park, Mich., home after she told him that their son had made a startling confession.
According to Cherry, the 15-year-old had admitted to having "inappropriate contact" with his 3-year-old half sister.
Well, this will certainly present a conundrum for his fellow inmates. On one hand, he killed his own son. On the other, he took vigilante justice over his daughter being molested.
Anthropogenic or man-made Global Warming (AGW) alarmism is the biggest deception and mass hysteria in the history of modern civilization, because climate changes naturally.
The Climate Sceptics believe leaders of Australia should base their decisions on facts rather than moods. For those who like to keep as informed as possible on the facts about what the global climate is doing the website http://www.climate4you.com/ collects the latest relevent data for your convenience.
The Climate Sceptics support all practical measures to prevent environmental degradation. We support the development of cleaner and more efficient sources of energy. Unfortunately governmental taxes to stop climate change are a colossal diversion of funds from core obligations, and Emission Trading Schemes (ETS) will do absolutely nothing for the Murray-Darling basin, the Great Barrier Reef, or land degradation – just as it will do absolutely nothing to stop climate change.
We are here to demand rational debate and responsible leadership. We reject the extremist views that now threaten what Australians have sacrificed to achieve in living standards, rights and freedoms.

I became aware of this...person..from his TV ads on OneHD cunting up my NBA replays. Climate change is a con because surprise surprise "Leon and thousands of other Australian landholders have lost property rights due to the Kyoto protocol and other environmental laws". Handy hint Leon, don't recommend Andrew Bolt for further reading, that tells us something more than you think.
As an old Russian saying goes, there are two problems in Russia, fools and roads. But lately one more has popped up and it is surely not a futile one. Since the fall of the Soviet Union there is a serious issue still gnawing all the countries of FSU. Corruption. And recently in the center of the capital of Ukraine, right at the entrance of Ministry of Cultural Affairs in Kiev, there was held a protest against sexual harassment in colleges of the country. And the girls’ approach was not as commonplace as it usually happens but a saucy and even kinda bizarre one.
A Quebec woman on long-term sick leave is taking her insurer to court over a decision to cut her benefits based, according to her, on photos she posted on Facebook.
Nathalie Blanchard, 29, is on leave from her job at IBM in Bromont, Que., since she was diagnosed with severe depression in February 2008.
But her benefits were suddenly cut off at the end of October. When she called to inquire with Manulife, her insurance company, she was told they established she was ready to go back to work based on photos they saw on Facebook.
Blanchard had posted photos her herself enjoying the beach at a sunny destination and partying in bars with her friends.
"They didn't ask her to explain those photos before making their decision," said Blanchard's lawyer Thomas Lavin.
Lavin said the Eastern Townships woman was encouraged by her doctor to take small vacations and go out more to try and forget about her worries and integrate herself back into her social network.
Blanchard is going to file a claim in Quebec Superior Court for wrongful dismissal and to seek damages against Manulife.
While it's tempting to side with the insurance company here, I've known two individuals who went through depression and it's one of those illnesses that few take seriously and many chalk up to laziness and trying to beat the system.
These games are a cherished part of my life, they helped to shape my young mind, they gave me challenges and vastly improved my English, opening the door to a whole new world of literature, music and people from all around the world. What I have achieved, all my research, how I have been able to travel even though I'm always broke, the hard work I've done to convince people to fund a start up for cheap biotech for developing countries and regular folks, none of that would have been possible hadn't I learned English through video games.
Now, thanks to the tiny horizons of the cast of morons who govern me, thanks to the stupidity and ham-fisted authoritarianism of the local authorities, so beloved of so many liberals, my 7 year old brother's chances to do the same could be greatly impacted.
Guido Núñez-Mujica, a 26-year-old Boing Boing reader in Venezuela who is an avid gamer, writes in with this extensive personal observation piece about a new law that widely criminalizes video games in the South American country. As you read the piece, please also bear in mind that publishing this sort of thing under one's full name is not done without personal risk.
Four people have been arrested in Peru on suspicion of killing some 60 people to sell their fat and other human tissue to Italian co-conspirators for cosmetic use in Europe, authorities say... The prosecutor's indictment said the gang allegedly targeted farmers and indigenous people on remote Andean roads, tricking them by offering jobs before killing them... Peruvian press cited him as saying the fat can be sold for $US15,000 ($16,000) per gallon (3.8 litres) in European countries.
He wiggled, jiggled and even dropped his trousers, but a thief trying to break into a supermarket in Portugal stayed stuck fast in a tiny window until he was rescued by police and the fire brigade."Apparently he dropped his trousers as he was trying to free himself by wiggling," Capt. Santos, local police chief in Loule in southern Portugal, told Reuters Monday.
He said the slim 22-year-old Romanian man had spent about 11 hours stuck in the window, including the two hours it took police and the fire brigade to get him out Sunday morning.
These amazing pictures were taken by the professional diver Anatoly Beloshchin in the cave Cenote Angelita, Mexico. Here’s his description: “We are 30 meters deep, fresh water, then 60 meters deep – salty water and under me I see a river, island and fallen leaves… Actually, the river, which you can see, is a layer of hydrogen sulphide.”
It must be an unforgettable feeling once you’re there and see it with your own eyes.
SECRECY:
What's particularly disturbing about this is the degree to which the administration has tried to keep negotiations secret. They did invite 42 people to review and comment on the document, subject to very strict nondisclosure agreements so they couldn't talk about what they had seen. Of those 42 people, 40 of them represent large corporate entities and 2 represent public interest groups.
ACCOUNTABILITY:
In addition to having no transparency, we'll also have no accountability because ACTA is designed as an executive agreement instead of a treaty, which means that it doesn't require congressional approval.
MOTIVATION:
Based on what we've been able to piece together, the internet provisions have nothing to do with addressing counterfeit products, but are instead a reflection of entertainment and content industry demands for stricter copyright laws that would apply to the internet on a global scale. This is blatant Corporatism that could cost us our internet and our
