  1. Re:News spin on Johansen Trial Underway · · Score: 1
    The more you know (on anything), the more you realize how terrible the news media is. It's disturbing when you see how things are wrong/misreported/overblown on something you know, and then consider that the same thing is going on with the things you don't know as much about.

    You know, I miss reading the news in Sudan. Everyone knew how much spin there was on the news there: 180 degrees. If they reported the sun was up you could be sure it was night. It was nice.

    First one I really think should be in your faq [canonical.org], but that I haven't been able to find there: why did you choose the name of an millenia old epos about a Scandinavian warrior for something that does not even seem distantly related?

    In the epic Beowulf is described as having 'the strength of many'. Why he thought of that when naming the system, I don't know.
