    FUD indeed. I don't understand why Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson still haven't been taken into a dark passage to get beaten the hell out of them.

    That might be a reason. Here in Europe Clinton did not have any say in anything, but we have the same problem, even in small countries.

    Is that the reason that we got a warning yesterday that this would disappear on 30 March?

    No, they don't. They propose different hypotheses. The set of validated (by measurement, observation, proof, experiment, reasoning picked apart) hypotheses is what constitutes a theory.

  8. New influences on old comics on In France, Comic Books Are Serious Business (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I see a movement in using other styles, asking different pencillers and scenarists for classics like Spike and Suzy, Jethro, the Red Knight, Kiekeboe, and probably others I don't buy. It's a movement I have also seen with US Comics. I have almost everything from the X-Men between 1963 and 2003, and in the nineties there was a movement to break out of the classical drawing styles. I see the same here. Also, more dark and alternative scenarios. It is something that I welcome, and which indeed made me buy new comics.

    Well, it is not necessary to install all 10000 applications that are part of the Ubuntu DVD.

    My father-in-law died of melanoma. A tumor which started on the sole of his foot. The only times he was in the sun, was when he gardened (not much), went fishing (which can also be done without sun), and possibly on Sunday mornings when he went playing with the finches.

    People need to read more Terry Pratchett, and learn his ideas on what is wrong with schools. Actually, his ideas can be summarized as "Don't trust schools to give you an education".

    List of causes of death by rate

    I think that there are more pressing causes of death, which might increase the need for a drink.

    Undid some funny moderation, because I think there are a couple of people worldwide who like to use every opportunity to ban alcohol, even though it is not really a leading cause of death worldwide.

  19. I was actually looking for Lovecraft references. Come on, guys and gals, you can do better than that!

  20. Sometimes the only thing left is to give a well-deserved FU and a clobber around the ears.
