Kevin has arrived in the village

I did not even know that Matt Lucas was gay., I though this was only for the Welsh village. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6188161.stm

This got me wondering, he is a well known TV star. He might be a bit overweight but I am sure his stardom will allow him to have lots of girls. So does he still have to pretend his is gay just to get a partner? I don't think so.

Oral pleasure

The mecca of a suggestion for the FBI

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6182835.stm

The blind radical Muslim cleric (whose first prayer to God is so far unanswered?) Omar Abdel Rahman is very ill and in a US Jail. He was convicted of plotting attacks against New York in 1996. He has asked his supporters to commit violence against the US if he dies in a US jail.

Solution
I think we can put the guy on a life support machine for a few years/decades to keep him alive. Actually how many years could you do this for?. A financial person might argue that its cheaper to do this and pay for a normal prisoner.

Could a person be considered dead if he was frozen while on a life support machine (perhaps there will be a cure for terrorism in the future).

When was the saying "re-inventing the wheel" first used?

And a few more questions:

• How was the first wheel used?: (eg: Horse Car, so how did it take to make the 2nd wheel)
• Who invented the 2nd wheel? (was it another person?)
• Now we can ask when was the saying "Re-inventing the wheel" first used and who said it?
• What were the comments from the local people?
• & what were the comments from the local spiritual Leaders, was this seen as unholy?

Comment from Laurns: The wheel was most likely invented in a number of places in the world, rather than one place and then it spread out.

Helpful people living in Brussels?

Last evening I left wok a little late, went to the car and found I was going nowhere quick. I had left lights on and the battery was dead. I am not a member (yet) of Touring (AA)), it was already dark and drizzling. I tried the following. Lifted the bonnet of the car, put up the triangle 60 meters behind the car and stood behind the car with the jump leads in my hands and tried to catch the attention of the cars going by. I expected to wait for sometime.
By the eight car, I had a helper in an old Mazda who pulled over and we connected. In two minutes I was on the way home.

Tradition begins with change, You can create new traditions

Tradition is many cases is nice especially when the tradition adds positive values to ones life. Tradition can be also be not so positive and still difficult to change. It might be useful to remember that "tradition begins with change" otherwise we would still be living in the trees.

Drinking too much

Oops, I did it again. I think I need to write down how sick I feel the next day (in detail) and then read this the next time I go out so I won't make the same mistake.
On the other hand, I can always read this at the start of each day and feel wonderful that I don't have a hangover.

Reaction to the Pope's comments

This quote has been very offensive to any muslim who believes the Koran allows them to kill to defend Islam, use violence to spread Islam, or to control existing muslims that may wish to leave or ask too many questions. In other words, the majority of Muslims.

Stingray that killed Steve Irwin

Australian environmentalist and television personality Steve Irwin has been killed by a stingray while diving.
It's now believe that the Stingray was on a suicide mission and the bomb equipment failed to explode due to the damp conditions. The Stingray sea foundation who live under the sea, said they were very surprised by this attack as the word Stingray in "stingish" (local sea language) actually means "peace"

The power of prayer

A female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, everyday, for a long, long time. So she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he was walking slowly up to the holy site. She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, using a cane in a very slow fashion, she approached him for an interview.

CNN: "I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. Sir, how long have you been coming to Western Wall and praying?"
Man: "For about 60 years.
CNN: "60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"
Man: "I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims. I pray for all the hatred to stop and I pray for all our children to grow up in safety and friendship."
CNN: "How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"


Man: "Like I'm talking to a fuckin' wall."

Microsoft Vista may be delayed - so what

See article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/5222736.stm
Windows XP is fine for me, I can't think of another feature I need in an OS. However I would like the following,

• MediaPlayer GSM (eg an iPod with a telephone)
• Simple Wi-Fi connector for my Hi-Fi (to allow it to play mp3 file from the network)
• TV DVD Recorder with Wi-Fi (similar to above)
• Improved battery life on my laptop
• Cooler CPU

So Bill, not problem about the delay with Vista.

Postgraduate in China Business Studies. Why so long?

This course will take a year which is far too long: http://www.vlekho.wenk.be/hw/showpage.asp?iPageID=98

I mean how long can it take to learn the following (1 week max)

• Give bribes to government officials & police
• Set up a sweatshop
• Order a transplant (pick up the body part from local jail)
• Copy and sell copyright material

Some businesses need very tight government control

Due to the damage they can do, businesses such as Gambling, Smoking and Religion should be well controlled or banned.

Man can not live on .. & Holidays

Thought for Today
* "Man can not live on prayer alone"
* Based on the saying I heard many times when I was young in Ireland "Man cannot live on bread alone"

Lets do an experiment. I need one just one person who will try to live on prayer + water and I will live on bread + water. We can do the test over 30 days. So if you know anybody let me know.

Note: I am on vacation for 10 days so instead of enjoying live to the full in Belgium, I can now do the same in Turkey for 10 days. This is 10 day all-inclusive (including drinks), my goal is be in profit by the 3rd day.

We have to get more information to decide on this: This depends on some of the following
* Is it really difficult to find parking in the area? (how valuable is it?)
* What kind of handicap will it be?
* Do I get grant from the government or pay less tax?
* etc...

So please provide a bit more information and we can decide.

Talking loud in the office - linked to mating call?

This was my theory that some men talk loud as a sort of mating call. So when a person who has a habit of talking a small octave too loud in the office (while on the phone) recently got married, I had a chance to prove my brilliant theory that he would be loud no more as he now has a mate. I could already see the Nobel prize

Let's call this person Jamie Summer (not his real name, his name is cooler) and he is now happily married for already 2 weeks and feeling very good about himself.

Today I heard him on the phone from the other side of the building so there goes my theory :-(

Stroke gives woman foreign accent

Stroke gives woman foreign accent

Linda Walker says she hates what has happened to her. A UK woman (Newcastle) has apparently developed foreign accents after waking up following a stroke. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/5144300.stm.

I keep thinking, if the stroke caused brain demage (e.g. 95%), what part of the world would her accent be from or what job she could do?. I am sure there will be many answers to this :-)

Honest Walloon politicians

Recently there have been many comments in then press about corrupt politicians in the Walloon so I decided to proof that it’s unfair to judge all Walloon politicians by a few bad apples.

The meeting had to be cancelled at the last minute as he asked to be paid under the table for the interview :-(

Rock Werchter - Deus, Placebo etc..

Went to Rock Werchter yesterday, it was a good day except for the heat during until 18:00 hrs

We had great performances from Deus, Placebo and the Artic Monkeys (www.rockwerchter.be). As for Franz Ferdinand, I only dislike them when they play their own stuff music.

Some tips for the future when going to a Rock Concert when the weather is hot.

• Bring water in an iv drip (it will also look cool which is very important)
• Bring plastic blow up furniture (some people did this, very good idea)
• Bring small bottles of water (frozen)

There were many good T-Shirts, my favourite was "I am surrounded by idiots". Finally, hi to the IKEA person we meet (Myka), it was a pleasure to meet you.

Motercycyclist dropping his right foot

I was driving home from work this evening and noticed a motorbike behind so I moved to the right and allowed the moterbike to pass by. He appeared to acknowledge my good nature by dropping his right leg to the ground. He did the same thing as he passed out the next 4 cars in front of me, either this or his was underwear itching him.

For my effort of looking in my review mirror and pulling over, I would like a more imaginative response like a big wave of better still a big smiley face to light up on his back. Yes a big smiley face is what I need for my effort. They would also get a better response from other drivers.

So lookout for a smiley face.

Earphones at Rock Concerts for people with poor hearing

I heard this on the radio this morning. What a great idea. No more noise, instead you can get to hear the band you see in front of you. At the beginning its only for people with poor hearing (plus free parking :-?) but perhaps in future it could be available to everybody. This will start at Rock Werchter (near Tremelo) this year so hope it's a good success.

3 and more manuals to get to heaven

God provided use with 3 and more user manuals, so now we can choose which path to follow and have little respect for other paths. We also have the opportunity to easily misinterpret our holy books, use it in all sorts of arguments, justify our wars and even make up new rules.

Perhaps one user guide to get to heaven might have been a better idea?
