“I saw people queuing for hours in hot sun and sand storms, desperate for a water delivery. When a tanker arrived, children were scrambling to catch drops in their mouths” ~ Jane Beesley, Oxfam who has just returned from Chad.

Dontations have enabled Oxfam to fly out £200,000 of life saving equipment to Sudan/Chad this week.

ENJOY COCA-COLA
This is an old Coke ad that someone in Australia is suing Coca-Cola for - he says there is a woman in the background of the ice giving oral pleasure to a man. What do you think?

The artist formerly known as Madonna
Madonna has changed her name to Esther as part of her conversion to Kabbalah, the study of Jewish mysticism. In an interview to be broadcast in the US on Friday, she said that she wanted to be known by the Hebrew name Esther.

Kabbalah is “incredibly punk rock and anti-establishment. Kabbalists believe in immortality. They believe that you can overcome death, overcome illness, whatever, so, it’s incredibly good to be a rebel.” ~ Madonna

Yup. In-credible is a good way to describe it.

Molecular Expressions - The Art of Photomicrography

Using multiple-exposure techniques in classical film photomicrography (photography through a microscope) we have succeeded in constructing a series of unusual photographs that we have termed Microscapes. These photographs are intended to resemble alien and/or surrealistic landscapes.

Don’t worry. This is a totally normal thing to do to your car…

Vanessa The Molester (photos)
- Day 19 in the BB House

‘Housemates are supposed to look after the House and its furnishings, but last night the usually placid Vanessa attacked Diandra with a fury not seen since Ahmed went on his plate smashing spree.

For some unknown reason Vanessa stamped on the statue’s head and shouted “Bitch!” and “Stupid woman,” while Michelle and Emma were fuming, watching from the secret Bedsit next door. “She’s a symbol,” they cried. “Stupid, stupid, stupid.”

Having ripped off an arm, Vanessa set about beating Diandra’s body with her own limb before giving her a further kicking and dumping the remains. Unsurprisingly Big Brother took a dim view of Vanessa’s hooliganism and today told her to put Diandra back together again. When she emerged from the Diary Room, Vanessa claimed to be surprised. “I thought smashing her was fun,” she said cheerily.

But Bunny Boiler Michelle didn’t see it that way. “I think smashing you would be fun, girl,” she thundered from her Bedsit hidey-hole.’

Convergent Timelines
Earthfiles.com: “According to Dr. Burisch, he received telepathic communication from the J-Rod about serious medical problems that were forcing his species to extinction and which brought them back to Earth - their original home - in a mind-boggling effort to change a time line problem in our human present - and the J-Rods’ ancient past.

The catastrophe - past and future - came from one, two or three events - or all three together. Those included a very large energy flare from the sun at the same time our solar system encountered a swarm of naturally occurring mini-black holes, also called worm holes. A third event at the same time might have been a nuclear war on Earth. The destructive energy of all that happening split the Earth’s time line into two branches that allegedly still loop and circle each other to this day.”

Inbox: Newsflash from the DVLA

In order to assist other motorists in identifying potentially dangerous drivers, it’s now compulsory for anyone with a lower than average IQ and driving ability to display a warning flag.

The flag (comprising of a red cross on a white background) will be attached to the top of at least one door of their vehicle.

Noisy neighbours frazzling your nerves? Sleep depravation and aggravation by noisy neighbours causes at least 6 murders a year in the UK alone. We found out recently that the previous owner of our house moved due to our noisy and aggressive neighbours. He failed to mention this and our solicitor didnt alert us to neighbour disputes either. Make sure you investigate this yourself before buying anywhere or you could find yourself woken up every night between 2 and 7 am to the sounds of football anthems, “The Final Countdown” being shouted out the windows and Bo Selecta Woo Hooh’s every 5 minutes. I hate Bo Selecta!

Big Brother News - If looks could kill!
Bunny boiler Michelle watches her Chicken Stu’s every move, secretly from the hidden Big Brother Bedsit:

She looked sick to her stomach as she watched her man Stuart shower in the presence of a scantily clad Vanessa brushing her teeth.

“Give me some sound right now please…I need to be able to hear what’s going on,” she snarled, as the sounds of running water partially obscured the pair’s conversation.

“I dare you not to do that Vanessa, you evil cow,” she hissed at the screen, her eyes blackening.

Power failures plague Joburg, South Africa
“The network of Johannesburg is old and was meant for the original mining industry,” said City Power vice president Silas Zimu. But as the city boomed, with commercial and residential expansion, so did demand for electricity.

“Flattening one old Houghton property and building 20 townhouses means that there will be 20 stoves, 20 geysers, running on that property,” Zimu said. There was a huge demand for electricity with homeowners converting garages into cottages, working from home, shopping malls expanding, and clinics and schools being built, placing an enormous burden on the city’s power structure and the older narrow cables which have not all been replaced yet

“Electricity thieves”, mainly around Lenasia and Alexandra, make illegal connections which overload sub stations. The most brazen steal the whole sub-station, selling it for scrap. “I have put up a R10,000 reward to catch these people. Last week three people were arrested. They got R36 for the metal and caused an eight-hour outage,” said Zimu.

Workers get free porn
A Danish IT company has given all its employees free subscriptions to porn sites to make them more relaxed and efficient.

LL Media in Nordjylland introduced the idea to stop staff accessing adult material at work.

The company’s director, Levi Nielsen, believes access to porn is a natural fringe benefit, like a free phone or a company car: “We know that 80% of all hits on the internet are on porn sites. And we can see that people also surf porn pages during work.” Nielsen told Danish broadcaster DR Nordjylland. Nielsen hopes the move will make his staff more relaxed and more efficient on the job.
