Work work work

I won't be around much today; I've already talked to almost a dozen reporters this morning, and I'm muddling my way through Windows API programming that I've never done before which just makes me angry. Oh, and a friend that owns a customizing shop just offered to install this body kit on the Porsche for free… Think I should go for it?

Cool pictures

Just got sent these pictures (which I have no reason to believe are fake). The one on the left is of course a dude with six fingers (it's less rare than you'd think), and the one on the right shows a (healed) bullet hole piercing on both the roof of the mouth and the chin.

Time to play cards

I'm not actually going to order a set unless they post photos so I know they don't look like total crap, but these are pretty funny in my opinion: http://www.chickenhawkcards.com/

PS. The interview below went well I think. I liked the host's libertarian attitude about the whole thing; basically, “If you want to split your tongue, I think that's kind of freaky and I'd never do it, but ultimately it's your problem, not mine, and it's wrong to legally try and stop you. It's a waste of tax payer money and none of the government's business.”

Radio…

For those interested, I'll be on the Jason Jarvis show talking about tongue splitting at about 1:07 EST (ie. in just under two hours). You can visit his webpage (www.jasonjarvisshow.com) and listen live, although it's syndicated all over the US as well.

All ages this time…

First, a couple of pierced pet pix. Let me emphasise that this is a natural hole (not made by the owner!), and that the ring was just put in for the photo so she wouldn't try and rip it out:

The “tattoos” (ahem, marker drawings) were submitted along with demand for membership:

Some quick news… I'm assuming everyone knows about the well executed commando-style terrorist atttacks in Saudi Arabia (more). It's no surprise that this US-targetting attack (more) is being blamed on al Qaeda (more) and even bin Laden personally (more). As the US pulls its diplomats out (more), Saudi Arabia also warns that al Qaeda is beginning to stockpile significant weapons in the Gulf (more), and thanks to a little assistance from the USA, al Qaeda quite likely now is building up a nuclear arsenal (more)

From yesterday's LA Times (more):

On Sunday, the Washington Post wrote the obituary for the United States' effort to find Saddam Hussein's alleged weapons of mass destruction. "Frustrated, U.S. Arms Team to Leave Iraq," read the headline, confirming what has become an embarrassing truth — that the central rationale for the invasion and occupation of oil-rich Iraq was in fact one of history's great frauds.

Not that anybody — anybody that can stop it that is — cares. Even after this massive deceit, coupled with domestic fraud and civil rights abuses, the Bush regime continues to enjoy massive support in the US, presumably because of its effective propaganda campaign branding any dissenting voices as treasonous. Now let's get back to paying the defense contractors that put Bush into power more money for more “usable” nukes (more)!

Yay for the end of the world!
