HOMELESS ISLAND: They live - and die - on a traffic island in the middle of a busy downtown street, surviving by panhandling drivers or turning tricks. Very intresting article.

And for the gamers: a 2,000 year old d20.

I think that I should mention that 'Seattle, Washington' is an anagram of 'Lots eaten: shit, wang'."

PBS: Tesla - Master of Lightning: A Machine to End War "A Famous Inventor, Picturing Life 100 Years from Now, Reveals an Astounding Scientific
Venture Which He Believes Will Change the Course of History" "It seems that I have always been ahead of my time. I had to wait nineteen years before Niagara was harnessed by my system, fifteen years before the basic inventions for wireless which I gave to the world in 1893 were applied universally. I announced the cosmic ray and my theory of radio activity in 1896. One of my most important discoveries--terrestrial resonance--which is the foundation of wireless power transmission and which I announced in 1899, is not understood even today. Nearly two years after I had flashed an electric current around the globe, Edison, Steinmetz, Marconi, and others declared that it would not be possible to transmit even signals by wireless across the Atlantic. Having anticipated so many important developments, it is not without assurance that I attempt to predict what life is likely to be in the twenty-first century."

"AMAZING LIFE OF PORN ICON RON JEREMY" His mother was an agent for the OSS. I did not know that.
Video game toilets
Gold "nano-bullets" shoot down tumours
The maiden has a well-formed butt, by the Much-Mixing One, the calvaryman Oh yes.
A CHINESE scientist tried to kill a rival by hiding radioactive materials in his office.
Video games consumed my childhood. Lessons in life, love and the English language:
Lesson no. 1: If someone gets between you and your woman, you should either stomp on his head or light him on fire.

Lesson no. 2: Look before you leap into that green pipe of commitment, or else the piranha plant of emotional baggage might bite you in the butt.

And, most importantly, lesson no. 3: You can search all you want for the girl of your dreams – you can brave the dungeon of vulnerability, avoid the fireballs of embarrassment and dodge the dragon of apocalyptic, life-shattering rejection – but seven times out of eight your only reward will be a midget in a vest saying, “Sorry, your princess is in another castle.”
