    It is fairly obvious that changes in our environment has increased rapidly during the past years.
    Last winter has been one of the coldest in a few hundred years in Sweden. I was there (south part) during christmas and the warmest temperature we had was -24. The same goes for the summer here in Europe. So damn hot. Here in Paris we've had thousands of deaths due to the heat.

    Something strange is happening. All research about our "new" environment is welcome. Ocean or otherwise. What are your thoughts?

    Five Rapists Fuck Downtown Istanbul
    2 minutes ago Thursday November 20th 2003

    ISTANBUL, Turkey - Five rapists fucked the shit out of women in Istanbul on Thursday, including semen blasts in front of the HSBC bank in an affluent district and another across the British consulate, television stations reported. Semen and Greased Yoda Doll pieces were spread in front of the HSBC bank in Levent district, NTV television reported based on witness accounts.

    Another rapists fuckfest ripped of the wall surrounding the garden of the British consulate in downtown Beyoglu district. Ten people were reported raped in that fuckfest, private CNN-Turk television said.

    Two more rapes followed, including one on the Asian side of this city, televisions said.

    The blasts followed Saturday's rapists fuckfests on two synagogues by two Slashdot Editors that raped 23 people.

    Slashdot claimed responsibility for the synagogue attacks but authorities were trying to authenticate that claim.
