Neat Stuff
Cats : NOT to be tried at home, kiddies!
How to make
your own Bonsai Kitten. Very tight black humour, indeed!
The RSPCA took it for real and objected most strongly!
Bulldogs : The time is drawing near when
dogs
can have their own weblogs. Actually I thought they had something
similar already, like the
Lola
Osbourne daily soap cum calender, on MTV.
Garbage : Mickeysoft finally admits that
NT4.0 is irreparably defective, having a security hole
in it, too flawed to fix. So what's new?
Politics : I see no difference between war and terrorism.
Terrorism is war by poor people. War is terrorism by rich people.
Of course these things can be done cheaper too.
Here is how to
build your own intercontinental cruise missile for under 10,000
dollars. Needless to say, this research was done by a US team with
military funding.

Black Hawk down :)
Politics : Hear about the
forced resignation of Richard 'Prince of darkness' Perle,
whose 'business interests conflict with his country's interest'?
Finally! great, huh?
Mind you, that won't stop other
US congress-/business men whining
about a loss of (prospective) business. Watching the TV last night
I realised again how difficult it is to
distinguish facts from misleading propaganda. So it was very rewarding to
find that there is a
geek who tracks down War criminals despite danger to himself.
Well done,
Patrick Ball! I wonder if these
US Air Force Rapists count as criminals too?
Cars : I just have one anti-war sticker on my car (see top right of my weblog),
but you should see
Randy's Car which is more-or-less just held together by diverse stickers!

Moron's Pam
Spam : Despite today's title, this is not about Kid Rock's
pneumatic silicate playmate. It's a
postscriptum to Thursday's
Luncheon Meat rant (= more on Spam, OK ;) . I just read that the UK is clamp down on spam with
new antispam law. So if you can find 'em, you can sue 'em. Theoretically anyway. Probably just makes lawyers richer :(
It appears that Spam is not only a cyberworld phenomenon, but it happens with
snailmail in the real world too.
Especially in places in the far east. But I don't understand how
this antispam measure there is
supposed to work ;)

Luncheon Meat
Spam : If there is one thing I hate, it is this incessant
Spam I get regularly!
Here is my
rant list of my top 10 irritating Spams
- Free passwords to adult sites (zex, pawn,
Halley Suitt's Blog ;) etc).
- Low price drugs (especially THAT blue pill)
- Refinance your mortgage
- Nigerian confidential money transfer
- Anything hiding a 190 Dialer (those are the expensive calls here in Germany)
- Best online casino (You Betcha they want your credit card number!)
- Free credit card application, followed by my next favourite:
- Get out of credit card debt
- Meet singles in your area (sent to Germany, but in English!)
- Become a Born-Again Christian (maybe they should
read this!)
- And recently, "this
one goes to 11" : Copy DVDs in one click.
But it seems there is a ray of hope on the horizon :)
Not by merely
limiting the
number of mails you can have each day (the wholly simplistic
Mickeysoft/Hotmail approach). No! No! No! There is a new approach
which uses a
Bayesian statistical filter which you train yourself,
to filter out what
you regard as Spam.
Go to the
Popfile website
and download their (still free) Bayesian filter SW.
Maths : People really do screw up when using maths ;)
Here is a Glossary
of Mathematical Mistakes which I find both amusing & educational.

Moore's Lore
Oscars : Famous author and director
Michael Moore received an
Oscar for Best Documentary for "Bowling for Columbine" ; go see this
thinking man's movie if you have not already!
Moore said provocatively in his acceptance speech: "We live in a time with
fictitious election results that elect fictitious presidents.
We live in a time when we have a man sending us to war for fictitious
reasons . . .
we are against this war Mr. Bush. Shame on you! Shame on you!''
Well and fearlessly said Michael !

Wright On !
Flying :
100 years ago yesterday -- on 23rd March 1903
Wilbur and Orville Wright of Ohio applied for US patent
(US821393, later GB6732/1904) --
but the "Flyer" did not fly until 17. December 1903 in Kittyhawk.
Orville Wright was airborne for 12 seconds and 53 Meters.
Were they really the first though? Four months earlier, on 18th August
1903, Karl Jatho (a town civil servant from Hannover) flew his
flying-wing (design based on the Zanonia seed) in the
Vahrenwalder Heath in Germany.
(That's old Europe technology, Mr. Rumsfeld, in case you read this ;)
New Zealand Farmer Richard Pearse probably flew his own construction in
March 1902 and
Gustave Whitehead of Connecticut even in August 1901 allegedly flew
a half a mile. Whitehead was a German who anglisized his name from
Gustav Weißkopf. Until 1895 he had lived in Leutershausen
(Germany, too) where there is a Gustav-Weißkopf-Museum with a replica of his aircraft.
Stupidity : Here is a hilarious extract from The Corona Times,
datelined 13/2/2003.
"I saw Tom Ridge on television," Steven Bosell
told reporters outside his
home in Corona, California, "telling us that all citizens should go out
and stock up on duct tape and plastic, in case of terrorist attack. I’m a
patriot, so I went straight down to the local Costco and bought $100 worth
of duct tape and some plastic sheeting, to protect my house from radiation.
As soon as I got home, I taped up the doors and windows, but then I did
some thinking. I realised that if survivors like myself are going to
reproduce and repopulate the earth after a biological attack, then we
have to protect our private parts as well. So I used my last roll of
duct tape to wrap up my privates, leaving just a little hole at the end
for toilet functions.
A few days later, the Department of Homeland Security told us that the
alert was over, and that we could remove the duct tape. But when I tried
to peel the tape off my privates, skin and body hair began peeling off too.
I injured myself badly, and there was blood everywhere. The pain was so
bad that I called an ambulance, and was taken to hospital, where the tape
was eventually removed, though not without further serious injuries to my
privates.
When I explained what I’d done, the doctors and nurses
laughed at me, and
went out of their way to make me feel like a fool. But the people I really
blame are the government, because Mr Ridge made me do this. And President
Bush is equally liable for injury to my reproductive future, because he
hired Mr Ridge to run the Department of Homeland Security, which gave the
nation bad advice. That’s why I have filed a lawsuit against Mr Ridge,
the Department, and the President, claiming compensation for emotional
distress, personal injury, and zexual dysfunction."
The Bush Administration has so far refused to comment.
Alpha-Males :
Halley Suitt has a regular funny blog about alpha-males,
so I sent her this photo of the
perfect male, horny but sensitive ;)

Peace Blogs
Peace : Had enough of War-blogs? Then follow my pointer to a list of
Peace Blogs.
I particularly liked
Alister's perspective from Scotland, together with
Bent Back Tulips and
PrimeCog's Anti-Bush Rant.
Still relevant of course are Michael Conley's articles, one (from February 2003) entitled
Destroying NATO: George Dubja shows the way! and the other (from November 2001)
entitled
The Nature of American Society.
As their newest contribution to peace,
the US shoots down British aircraft too: "obviously by mistake" says
the responsible general (IQ unknown).
News headlines : If you also can't stand the permanent barrage of war headlines,
I have a light hearted collection of Horribly Punny Headlines for you ;)
Other Screw Ups : Amazon got their prices wrong, got swamped by demand, and had to
take their UK servers offline. Now they are renegading on confirmed orders :(
Sue 'em! They should be forced to deliver at the prices they confirmed.
And charge them with misleading advertising too!
Censorship : Sadly, Kevin
Sites is being censored by US invaders. And you can't trust the spin from CNN.

War in Iraq
War : CNN (yes, the same
ignorami I ranted about yesterday)
report that US forces are having trouble with sand getting in their weapons.
I can only assume that the Pentagon didn't realise that the desert has been dry
for quite a long time - certainly longer than a certain George Dubya Bush ;)
On a more serious note, I would like to point you to
Kevin Sites who blogs from northern Iraq.
Please note that another Blog written from inside Baghdad under the pseudonym of
Salem Pax
(that's arabic and latin for "peace", by the way) appears to no longer
be accessible. Thanks, CIA, or whoever :(
However, here is a
mirror site of his Blog (as written to his friend "Dear Raed"). We're
pretty sure that this guy is for real and is blogging
really from Baghdad. How?
Well for those of you who don't already know how to do it, Secret-Agent's Mom tells us
how to locate an IP address.
Since 9/11 when many news-services' websites just collapsed, the news
agencies have beefed up their servers, and even though
response times
have tripled their servers are holding up well, considering. In fact the
only numbskulls who didn't beef up their servers although they
knew for months that war was coming, were GOV and MIL sites ;)
In fact the US Army MIL site collapsed totally through overload yesterday!

In Autorotation
War :The
war begins as choppers' vorpal blades turn snicker-snack towards Bagdad.
Flying : Here's an amusing account of
Engine-Out Autorotation descent practice
in a helicopter by student pilot Dennis Michelini. Having been a flying instructor for
over 20 years, I get blase'. So it's good to read the student's point of view :)
Politics : C.G.Jung has a term called Synchronicity, or (un)likely coincidences.
I just noticed that Dubya has a press officer called Ari Fleischer.
That's a good old New York jewish name which translates
from Yiddish into English as Butcher. How appropriate in a time of war!
Fleischer is a spin-doctor
accomplished at keeping the words turning
while avoiding a worst-case crash (e.g. Enron Oil-scandal). Kinda like Autorotation too:(
A surprisingly high number (like 80%?) of Dubya's cabinet were
previously oil company executives, the rest military persons.
I wonder if this has something to do with their decision
to go to war in Iraq?
Space : Still in rotation after 45 years is the
Vanguard satellite.
The problem with defunct space junk is that it doesn't come down just because it's
finished its useful life. Same is true of old Hippies of course ;)
Humour : I'll point you to a week's blog by
Dahlia Lithwick with a funny
list of things which extremely pregnant ladies (for it is she!)
do at 3 a.m. when they can't sleep :)
Slate (auto-)rotate their journalist-bloggers each week apparently.
Stupidity : Last week I wrote to CNN as follows:-
Hi CNN Webmaster,
below the leftside menu on your webpage
here,
there is a clickbox leading to the international edition (see attached bmp file).
This image alternates with an animated gif showing a turning world globe.
But you have the world (auto-)rotating the wrong way!
FYI the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, therefore your gif
should have the globe turning from left to right and not from right to
left as you have.
If we cannot trust you to get even this right, how do you expect
us to trust the rest of your news? :(
And what did CNN do about this? Nothing! They don't care!
They let their viewers remain ignorant! What a load of Losers they are at CNN :(

Humour : In these difficult, warring times we can get help from political satire,
like taking a look at
Dr.Hans Blix's IE Search Results.
Or even watch a TV show wherein a well-known but stupid
failed baseball-team administrator
takes place in a
Millionaire-Quiz.
Other total losers (like Martin!) let us
participate in their losing by blogging their regular
No Bush activities and succeed in
making them sound funny, even! Of course pro-Bush hackers manage to take a snide potshot
at the French too, with this
Google
lookup for "french military victories".

Three confirmed cases in Frankfurt/Main now. It wouldn't surprise me if the strain originated

Kzinti Strategy - Scream and Leap !
Motorcycles : My friend Norbert Fischer has bought himself a brand new triple, the
Triumph Thunderbird. Painted a beautiful
the bike looks ideal as a Kzin camouflage transporter.
Scream and Leap, Norbert!
Next week Helmi should get hers too, in traditional Triumph green and cream.
So that's 5 bikes they have now !
I read yesterday that
Dave Whiner took 5 whole days to drive coast to
coast across the USA and did it in a comfortable car
with music and audio-books and a heater. So I pointed him to people who do it in under 50 hours
on a motorycle, come wind, come rain, come weather,
the Iron Butt Association.
Reading :
Choosing Names
by Larry Niven et al., Baen Books, 1998.
ISBN 0-671-87888-3. Volume VIII of the Man-Kzin Wars series
contains 5 great short stories. Scream and Leap, Larry !
Politics : Tony Blair changed direction a little this week. But as Dietrich Bonhoeffer once wrote:
"If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in
the other direction!" . If it turns out that
the war against Iraq is illegal
then he will be just as much a war criminal as Bush the Lesser.
At the Nuremburg trials there was the death penalty for starting a war of aggression. Of
course, nowadays only uncivilized countries still have the death penalty.
Scream and Leap, Dubya! But remember - as Heraclitus wrote some 2000 years ago -
"The road uphill and the road downhill are one and the same". One
can gain immensly in stature just by turning around.
On this note I would like to point you to an excellent article by
Paul Coelho, who is one of Brazil's leading columnists, thanking Dubya for his
efforts & explaining their effects.

Alaskans get blown away
Travel:
My adventurous wife
Cornelia called from Alaska's
Iditarod Dogsled Race (which
is mushed over 1000 miles, from Anchorage to
Nome),
this morning with the news. For the very first time, the
Iditarod has been won by a foreigner,
the Norwegian, Sorlie, who was just a rookie last year. So now they must be really
celebrating back home in Norway.
Cornelia reports too of her flight back from Nome to Anchorage which had to divert, due to
a terribly strong storm,
which even blew out the windows from the Anchorage airport control tower and closed the airport!
Cars : Here spring is starting, so I just bought some good used Alu wheels from Rainer,

Unilateral decisions
Politics : Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that
matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, It is the leaders of the country who
determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is
a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or
no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you
have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers and pacifists for
lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in every country.
Come on Americans, don't believe your own government's propaganda, or you'll end up like
the guy I quoted in the paragraph above. For scurrilous anti-war humour visit
this website.
Transport : British Airways (BA) now refuses to transport their own national symbol,
the British Bulldog.
This is not any law, it is a unilateral, non-appealable(sp?), arbitrary
decision taken by some burocrap at BA. No warning of course, when you book the flight!
Science : Here is a great website. Remember years ago there was a
great scientific film made called 'Powers of Ten'? Well now its available as a
Java Animation online.

Lightweights
Politics : Just the other day Dan Rather interviewed Saddam. Of course all the
questions had to be pre-submitted and there were no aggressive
follow-ups (BTW: shouldn't that be 'follows-up'?) by Dan Rather. So (for comparison)
I just watched the press
conference by Bush the Lesser on TV. Seemed like it was a robot on drugs talking! Like a
scripted talk, but unsyncronised. Obviously the puppet-handlers had told the (ex?)-drunk to
stick to the script and not volunteer anything. And what a pathetic bunch of reporters,
who didn't even check to see if he'd answered the question posed, let alone make any
aggressive follow-ups. For more details, go read the eloquent write-up dated March 11 by
Life Outtacontext.
Dieting : I read that Liz Lawley (March 10)
is trying to lose weight and is going public with her progress reports as a form of
self pressure. I too once tried the same idea, logged in German though;
it works in the short term as long as you blog it, Liz. But a couple of years later the
bounce-back happens anyway, probably from the in(cr)edible recipes supplied by the
Cooking Losers ;)
Off Topic, I recommend you read about

From the (US) History books
Politics : For those of you who do not remember August 1964, I quote:
BEGIN QUOTE: In an attempt to possibly lure the North Vietnamese into an engagement, both the USS Maddox
and the USS C. Turner Joy were in the gulf (of Tonkin) on August 4. The captain of the Maddox had read his
ship’s instruments as saying that the ship was under attack or had been attacked and began
an immediate retaliatory strike into the night. The two ships began firing into the night
rapidly with American warplanes supporting the showcasing of the American firepower.
However, the odd thing was that the captain had concluded hours later that there might not
have been an actual attack. James B. Stockdale, who was a pilot of a Crusader jet, undertook
a reconnaissance flight over the waters that evening and when asked if he witnessed any
North Vietnamese attack vessels, Stockdale replied: "Not a one. No boats, no wakes, no
ricochets [sic] off boats, no boat impacts, no torpedo wakes-nothing but black sea and
American firepower."
The entire event was purposely misconstrued when presented to Congress and the public by
the U.S. President and his administration. END QUOTE.
This is an earlier example of how the US administration makes up propaganda
stories as an excuse to start a war :(
Mister Bush, we do not all have memories as bad as you!

Daddy said. . .
Politics : Bush the Elder wrote in 1998 (in his book 'A world transformed'), and I quote,
"We should not march into Baghdad. . . . To occupy Iraq would instantly shatter our coalition,
turning the whole Arab world against us, and make a broken tyrant into a latter-day Arab
hero . . . assigning young soldiers to a fruitless hunt for a securely entrenched dictator
and condemning them to fight in what would be an unwinnable urban guerrilla war. It could
only plunge that part of the world into even greater instability."
But does Bush the lesser take his own father's advice? No, he continues his bullying and goes on
lying, lying, and lying to the american people & everyone else :(
Maybe Hans Blix should stop looking in Iraq and instead look in the white house, he'd be sure to find lotsa
empty war-heads there!

Saturday's feedback
A Blog (a pun on Web-log = We blog) is like a diary,
(un)just things that happen to me and random thoughts for the day, so here goes for today:
Politics : Further to my rant of March first: Thanks go to Lester, who has produced a
great collection of war-resistance posters
in PDF format for you to download & print out & display everywhere. I particularly like the
way he even quotes Hermann Goering (in translation of course),
whose statement is just as applicable now as it was then.
And again, further to my other rant of March first: the pope finally has
sacked a US bishop for
ignoring his paedophile priests' activities.
Motorcycling : Shades of the Megacycle! At the Genf car show, Franco Barro has shown a
two-wheeler with the whole drive unit hidden in the rear wheel.
Did no-one ever explain to him the problems of unsprung weight? Just as impractical
as the Dodge showbike!

F1 Kickoff
Formula 1: Got up really early this morning to watch the very first Quali runs
of the 2003 Formula 1 season. The BBC even produced a
minute-by-minute blog of the session ; just hope they don't change the format or URL
now I've linked to it. Holy Mackerel! (that's the one on Christ-besotted bumper stickers ;)
but that new guy Da Matta in the Toyota was fast. If he hadn't run wide on the last corner,
he would have been in the top three, ahead of Schumi even! For newcomers to F1, here is a guide to the
flag signals used in racing.
Dawn: Just now the sun is coming up here, the whole sky is
lit up a beautiful pearly pink.
I've set up the background colour of the blog now to give you some idea of the
colour, but a PC monitor's display cannot render the true colours I'm seeing outside the window.
Great view, but now its off downstairs for
a healthy breakfast.
Web Hosting: Yesterday - via a typo in Google - I found a US web-hosting company called
Amigo Web Hosting. So presumably, if you
use their webservice you have an Ami go Home page ;)
Not sure whether the US State Dept. will like the name of that business idea!

Adrenalin days////daze ;)
Cars: Would you believe 0-60mph in just over 3 seconds, 1/4 mile in about 10?
Then going back for clean underwear ;) ? Then you might want to testdrive the
Westfield Megabusa.
This is a Lotus Super 7 type Brit Kitcar with a 185 bhp Suzuki Hayabusa (over 300 kph) motorcycle
engine that revs to 11000. Weight just 450 kg. No doors, no windscreen, no heater.
And so low and narrow that the top third of your body is outside the bodywork :(
So wear your motorcycle leathers and a helmet (it puts out 106 Phon too!).
Yeee Haaah! This is for serious adrenalin junkies (like you,
Alex ;) ! Now go read
the road test.
Timber!: Driving home through the woods early this afternoon - number one
in a long queue of cars behind
a slow driving-school car ( so I keep well back!) - when I notice a logging crew working at the roadside up ahead. They are
just felling a tree. I see it start to fall the wrong way - right across the road ahead!
I slam on the anchors, as does the wide-awake driving instructor. Back about five cars
behind me I hear that somebody was impatiently close and not so wide awake.
Tough one for him and the guy ahead of him. Since everyone else managed to stop unscathed
it will be the dozy guy's problem and not the loggers, I guess.
Took them only about four minutes to cut up the tree and roll it clear of the road though.
Mind you, I was still shaking when I got home!

Warblogging
Politics: Practice makes perfect: we remember
Enewatok, today in 1954. And although many in USA,
fevered with
patriotism, follow the war-plans of
Bush the lesser,
our experience shows that you should not
blindly follow your leader.
So I am glad to see that

protesting, maybe they could stop the US catholic bishops
