Ananova - Cleaners ‘hoovered cash from slot machines’
The question I have is not, “How did they expect to get away with this?” But rather, “How come nobody ever tried this before?”

ReadyAmerica from the U.S. Deparment of Homeland Security has to be the absolutely funniest website I have ever seen. I don’t have time now to talk about the crazy stuff they write here, but if you want to roll on the floor laughing, you must check it out.

I’m back. Haven’t been blogging since my work computer’s hard drive died a miserable death and I had to reinstall everything from backups. Getting my boss to finally spring for a licensed copy of Photoshop is a story in and of itself, but I’ll leave it for another time.

Random bits of knowledge (or How I learned about Nalgene)

Robert Sabuda is an illustrator and pop-up book maker who has created some especially gorgeous books. I’ve always loved the artistry involved in creating popups. The intricacies and the engineering are astounding. Anyone want to buy me a Chanuka present?

When I was in Yeshiva, one of the arguments put forth to support the believe in the existence of God was the very watchmaker parable that Marshall Brain discusses. I always thought it sounded a bit sketchy, but I couldn’t articulate my objections nearly as well as Marshall does.
Now, [...]

Israel’s security branches protest Gaza crossings deal.
I really hope that this is another Debka exaggeration. But somehow, I doubt it. If the details of the deal are true, terrorists will have total access to Israel in a way that seemed impossible until now.
I’m scared.

Coca-Cola Declares Victory for Terrorists

November 15, 2005 | Leave a Comment

If you view the interactive map on this site, you will see that the Coca-Cola corporation has decided that they support the noble goals of the terrorists who want to see Israel wiped off the map. The entire West Bank and Gaza are labeled “State:Palestine” and the Golan apparently is part of Syria now.
