Galactic Battle.
July 25th 2008 18:42
Case in point, Battlestar Galactica, the new series. I have had the 1st season sitting on my shelf for over 2 years and have avoided the television broadcast for that particular reason. I am so bad that i even bought season 2.0 over a year ago and have had that sitting gathering dust also. But a couple of nights ago, after watching the mini-series a few weeks earlier, i decided to get stuck into it. I was a fan of the original series when i was a young lad and like many, i was a little sceptical on the re-imagining of a childhood favourite. Much damage has been done to other shows such as The Bionic Woman and The Untouchables so i was presently surprised when i found myself watching the first 3 episodes in one sitting.
There was a lot of familiarity within the show, names, places, Cylons, but the intelligent spin they put on it was welcome. Admittedly, i was a Trekkie in my younger days and while Star Trek had some intelligent storylines, they always seemed to play it safe, with tongue slightly in cheek. Now it seems realism is the way to go and the sex, violence and real human emotion that we all experience seems to allow me to become immersed in these character's lives, even though they are in totally ficticious surroundings. It's a great way to promote a tv show and it's rising popularity is proof that it is what the viewing public require. I almost wish i had gotten on to it as soon as i bought the bugger!

Work around the Clock
July 24th 2008 15:20
I have recently been offered a night shift position (12am to 6am) at a company which relies on it's 24 hr production. Sure it's only 6 hrs a day, but i've found it difficult to try and arrange my time both for my body and for my partner. You see while she sleeps, i 'm at work, and vice-versa. Of course being told by her that she slept like a baby while i was at work didn't really help matters. Then on the other hand it's promising that she 'slept' and wasn't up to anything else, which seems to be quite popular for shift workers' partners.
Anyway, paranoia aside, i found myself wanting to go home straight to bed, where if i had a 9 to 5 job, i wouldn't be going to bed until 10-11 at night. That would have me going to bed around midday, with the obligatory couple of JD's before hand. That seems ridiculous to me so i will try to conform to the rest of the world by going to bed straight away and still allowing myself some of the afternoon to do stuff. It's just unfortunate that i can't over-exert myself as to wear myself out for work that evening/morning

Creating Drugs!
July 23rd 2008 11:25
One can't forget how LSD influenced the Beatles or how prescription drugs and donuts helped prolong Elvis's career. Would John Belushi have been as funny if it wasn't for his cannabis, heroin, cocaine and LSD? I don't think so! Then you must look at the unbelievable paintings of drug addicts such as Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso and Vincent Van Gough.
If you turn the corner drugs have helped Robert Louis Stevenson create Jeckyll & Hyde and Percy Shelley to write poems that are like dreams. The list can go on forever and it's true that peoples imaginations have been so awakened on drugs that many great inventions have come about from 'altered states

America - Sex & Violence.
July 22nd 2008 12:55
Well, from that moment on, they have put in place a time delay on all live sporting broadcasts and yes, obviously they did mean to do it. Considering that Justin Timberlake said 'gonna have you naked by the end of this song', and the gold trinket Janet had on her nipple, it was a dead giveaway. I know of women who wear trinkets through their nipples, but actually covering the whole tip is unusual.
There is also the strange hypocrisy surrounding America's view on Sex & Violence that perplexes most other people around the world. I'm sure if Justin bashed her on the skull a few times with his microphone then shoved it in her mouth and tried to choke her with it, then not much would've been said. Just look at the movies, they censor more sex (an act of love) than extreme, brutal violence (definitely an act of hate). I don't quite understand why they have such a bloodthirsty attitude for destruction and a total disgust of lovemaking. Why would they prefer to send thousands of soldiers to their deaths in a country they don't care about instead of just having countless orgies and minding their own business

Can Police commandeer civilian vehicles at will?
March 7th 2007 11:58
If a policeman can do anything with a car to stop the bad guy - I want to be one! Which other paid position legally allows you to pull off 'Grand Theft Auto'-style carjackings? Not many, if any

Can men breastfeed?
September 12th 2006 13:49
It would sound weird if it was ever true – but check this: It is true. Men – or fathers in particular – are able to breastfeed. The functional anatomical requirements for breastfeeding do exist in both men and women.
There is a myth that larger breasts generate more milk – an anxiety often felt by mothers with minimal breasts. Contrarily, the amount of milk produced is determined by how much sucking the infant executes on the female breast. The same theory applies to the male species[ Click here to read more ]

Where does ‘belly button fluff’ come from?
August 31st 2006 13:10
‘Belly button fluff’ (BBF) or ‘belly button lint’ is often found inside the navel when we wake up, or when we retire in the evening. It is almost always blue in appearance, and has been a mystery to the human mind as to its origin and make-up.
Experiments have shown that BBF is mostly made up of fibres from clothing. There are some dead skin cells present as well, but the fluff is mostly made up of clothes materials. The research that led to these claims was conducted by an Australian, Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki, who is a research fellow at Sydney University (Australia). He conducted a survey of nearly 4000 people worldwide – who all collected their own BBF – and came to many conclusions from them[ Click here to read more ]
