Steven Seagal can’t get no love
This is quite excellent: Tokyo Mango’s Interview with the Dalai Lama’s Youngest Brother The money quote: “And then, on the other side of the scale, there’s Steven Seagal. Oh my god. I met him when he came here. He was wearing a funny coat, a Chinese brocade, funny trousers, and funny shoes with that ponytail. I asked him, “Why do you dress in such a peculiar manner?” He didn’t say anything. He’s arrogant, and pretends to be a Tibetan reincarnate. But why? He’s a strange man.” Dissed by the Dalai Lama’s brother. Dude…

Solar-barbecued chicken
This sounds interesting. As a sidenote, Thailand is more “green” in some ways than first world countries. For instance, they sell B5 diesel here at major gas station chains – B5 is 5% biodiesel. And Hi-octane gasoline (95) is all but gone around these parts, supplanted by its E20 (20% methanol) equivalent. Whether this is truly better for the planet in the long run or not is up for debate. It sure isn’t better for some older cars! I met a fellow who has made a small-scale biodiesel production facility in his garage; this is an area I am interested in. I also want to try building a solar chicken…

The purpose of the Internet, revealed
Did you know you can download PDFs for and print out your own Monopoly money from the Hasbro website? I have no idea why just the idea of doing so appeals to me so much; I don’t even own the game and haven’t played for years (there is only one true way, though: Fines for Go to Jail go into the pot; free parking takes it all).
