Everything happens for a reason, except possibly football.
“I don’t see any reason since this is a Christian ceremony and I don’t know that Arafat is a Christian.”
Ehud Olmert, israeli deputy prime minister, explains why Arafat is not allowed to join the Christmas mass in Bethlehem. Arafat attendend the mass as a political signal, since 1994 when the town passed into palestinian control. The route to the ceremony took Arafat through Israeli territory. Last year, Israel denied him permission to do that.

Weihnachtsgedicht
When the snow falls wunderbar
And the children happy are,
When the Glatteis on the street,
And we all a Gluhwein need,
Then you know, es ist soweit:
She is here, the Weihnachtszeit
Every parkhaus ist besetzt,
Weil die people fahren jetzt
All to Kaufhof, Mediamarkt,
Kriegen nearly Herzinfarkt.
Shopping hirnverbrannte things
And the Christmasglocke rings.
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas,
Hear the music, see the lights,
Frohe Weihnacht, Frohe Weihnacht,
Merry Christmas allerseits…
Mother in the kitchen bakes
Schoko-, Nuss- and Mandelkeks
Daddy in the Nebenraum
Schmucks a Riesen-Weihnachtsbaum
He is hanging auf the balls,
Then he from the Leiter falls…
Finally the Kinderlein
To the Zimmer kommen rein
And es sings the family
Schauerlich: “Oh, Chistmastree!”
And the jeder in the house
Is packing die Geschenke aus.
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas,
Hear the music, see the lights,
Frohe Weihnacht, Frohe Weihnacht,
Merry Christmas allerseits…
Mama finds unter the Tanne
Eine brandnew Teflon-pfanne,
papa gets a Schlips and Socken,
Everybody does frohlocken.
president speaks in TV,
All arround is Harmonie,
Bis mother in the kitchen runs:
Im Ofen burns the Weihnachtsgans.
And so comes die Feuerwehr
With Tatu, tata daher,
And they bring a long, long Schlauch
And a long, long Leiter auch.
And they schrei - “Wasser marsch!”,
Christmas is - now im -…………….. Eimer…
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas,
Hear the music, see the lights,
Frohe Weihnacht, Frohe Weihnacht,
Merry Christmas allerseits…

[Quote] Women want you to be independent but emotionally available. They want you to be attached but not smothering. They want time and attention, and also some time alone. They want you to grow and change with them. They want you to be all kinds of things, and it’s going to be a different list for every woman, and that list is always subject to change without notice.

I read half the blog before but lost the link. petrol mentioned it again.
pvp grasped the true meaning behind the story much earlier than the Joy of Tech did.

It really sounds like a bad sci-fi flick: mind control be sound which is encoded into a laserbeam…
[Quote] The first Soda machine equipt with hypersonic sound was in 1996 in Liverpool. Upon passing the machine, faint sounds (hardly even perceptible via audio) of soda being poured, words saying, “You are thirsty”, and sounds of people trying to salvate their dry mouths were administered. This would send the “customer” into a psychological frenzy, consumed by a compulsory “need” to be hydrated … It works so incredibly well that even the most sharp observers have a difficult time perceiving whether or not their senses are being affected with the sound. By thinking about it the mind can become confused, or even invent pieces of information that say “you are being manipulated”, or satisfy the senses by saying, “You are not being manipulated.”

So that’s why I bought Super Mario 3 last week. OMG! How could we be safe from hypersonic influence?

1.) Everyone knows that Saddam had doubleganger.
2.) Everyone suspects strongly that the US governement lied about the facts they presented to justify their war.
…and now everyone cheers right after the US army announced that they have caught Saddam.
Hmm.
