Remember that Blather.net Declared Jihad?
You may recall that back in January, Heinrich Bivouac, head of PR at Blather.net, declared jihad. This was to see if he'd get arrested by the keystone cops and have the quiet English cricket pavilion he owns stormed by the SAS. The context of this was a Mr Paul Chambers joking in a casual way on Twitter that he'd blow up an English airport because his flight might get cancelled, and he was then arrested by lazy, Twitter-addicted, paranoid, Menezes-shooting, stupido police detective idiots. Well, now it seems the UK's courts are full of dunderheaded, pudding-brained time-wasters as well, because...
Blather In Getting Something Right Shocker
Posted by Dave, June 11, 2003 No more semi-loitering for tourists A group of traders in the Grafton St./Nassau St. area of Dublin have called for a minimum speed to be introduced.

Blather.net's award-winning political correspondent Filthy Hack (on location in Westminster as we speak) reported into the news desk that the palace was considering appointing the Israeli football coach as they were 'profoundly impressed' with Mr. Grant's recent stewardship of the sinking ship that is Portsmouth F.C. and that they believed his acumen with an empty bank balance...
Gordon Brown leaves “parting gift” at 10 Downing Street
Prime Minister Gordon Brown pictured this morning at Downing Street In a move anticipating a possible Tory challenge to the sitting Prime Minister's right to stay in number 10, Gordon Brown returned to Downing Street this morning to run his knob around the rim of all the mugs in the kitchen. 'The bastards will never know which ones they are' an aide declared, before pausing to urinate into a nearby kettle. Reports are sketchy at best, but other Westminster insiders have suggested that the Labour party faithful spent several hours preparing a 'welcoming package' for David Cameron's Tories should they...

Aliens: predators II
Lengthy piece in the Guardian following up on the Hawking warning against the potential disaster of humanity meeting space aliens: Is Stephen Hawking Right. The article also goes into the topic of some forms of life here on Earth: "In our naive and parochial way, we have named these things extremophiles, which shows prejudice - we're normal, everything else is extreme," says Ian Stewart, a mathematician at Warwick University and author of What Does A Martian Look Like? "From the point of view of a creature that lives in boiling water, we're extreme because we live in much milder temperatures....
