    Fascinating article on the Amish

    February 13, 2009 /

    I never knew there were different kinds; the selective technology adoption reminds me of one of the later Stainless Steel Rat books, when said rat visits a planet utilizing steam and coal in modern vehicles. The title of the article could be a Robot Chicken production: Amish Hackers Note: This is more informative but less groovalicious than the Amish Drifting video.

    No Pad Thai for Veoh

    February 11, 2009 /

    “Veoh is no longer available in THAILAND. If you are not in THAILAND or think you have received this message in error, please go to veoh.com and report the issue.” So the big question is, if I keep receiving this message in error when trying to visit veoh.com (and nothing else loads), how the hell do I “go to veoh.com and report the issue?” Brilliant. Also, the rule being broken here is that you can’t take away something you already offered for free (especially without good explanation). To the Veoh guy I helped last year at the US consulate in Bangkok: This surely isn’t the full potential for Thailand that…

    February 10, 2009 /

    n : gastrointestinal symptoms caused by undigested wax esters (Gempylotoxin) of the oilfish or butterfish (that is contained in their natural diet but remain in their muscle tissue) which may include oily orange diarrhea, discharge, or leakage from the rectum that may smell of mineral oil. The discharge can stain clothing and occur without warning 30 minutes to 36 hours after consuming the fish. The oil may pool in the rectum and cause frequent urges for bowel movements due to its lubricant qualities and may be accidentally discharged by the passing of gas. Symptoms may occur over a period of one or more days. Other symptoms may include stomach cramps,…

    The most fucked up article you’ll read this year

    February 10, 2009 /

    WARNING: The article linked to below is graphic and nauseating, especially if you’re digging into a chicken sandwich like I was this morning. WHO’S HUNGRY? – PART 1 An Interview With Issei Sagawa, Cannibal This was a hugely famous case in Japan (and all over the world I imagine – I was only 7 when it happened). An insane Japanese exchange student killed and partially ate a female student at the Sorbonne and not only got off scot-free in France, but also in Japan because the French authorities protected him. I was aware he was writing books during my long stay in Japan, but it never occurred to me that…
