If you believe that we have anything to gain from science and education you are an elitist, it’s simple. You French bastards with your fancy pants degrees.

Saizaeriya is awesome, I used to eat there all the time.

… 5.7 tons of tainted frozen dough, which is equivalent to about 48,000 pizzas, was made by a Chinese company based in Guangdong Province, and imported …

Some really amazing shots here. Shit you don’t see on the news very often because most people would rather not think about it.

Wow this shit is incredibly disturbing, where did they find this woman?

The scary thing is, if for whatever reason McCain dies, this woman could be the most powerful person in the world. And McCain is like 1000 years old, so its not impossible.

A few days ago most people didnt even know who this woman was. Now, her daughter’s boyfriend’s myspace page has been taken down because he’s embarrassing and we’re examining her pastor. How come we don’t have to do this in Australia as much? Do we just take for granted that our politicians are probably not this crazy?

“Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God,” she exhorted the congregants. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.”

Huh?

Pastor Kalnins has also preached that critics of President Bush will be banished to hell; questioned whether people who voted for Sen. John Kerry in 2004 would be accepted to heaven; charged that the 9/11 terrorist attacks and war in Iraq were part of a war “contending for your faith;” and said that Jesus “operated from that position of war mode.”

I didn’t even know that Jesus had different modes of operation. What does that even mean?

I’ve lived in my share of Japanese apartments or “mansions” as they like to call them and they all had one thing in common - they were quite small. Yet somehow this dude managed to keep 51 snakes in his room in plastic boxes and the only reason they found him is because he got bit by an African Green Mamba and had to go to hospital. Cool guy.

Last November, a female acquaintance who visited Kashiwagi’s apartment was also bitten by a snake, according to police.

Clearly a proven way to get babes to come back to your apartment though.

Christopher Hitchens is a personal hero of mine and it’s nice to see he has a lighter side.  When he’s not busy fighting religion he manages to find time for a massage and a gentlemans’ facial. For some reason he decided to go on a self improvement course for vanity fair and the results were pretty funny.

Vanity Fair - On the Limits of Self-Improvement.

Best shit ever.  more or less vegan than regular Nikes?  not sure..
