I came across a post someone made in an Internet forum this morning. It was a simple one, the sort of thing you initially dimiss as rhetoric, but when you go over it again you realize how profound it is.
“…they say God made Man to look like him, but in truth, Man may have created [...]
Burger King will finally be opening a Penang franchise in 2006. What took them so long, I wonder?. Even Malacca got an outlet in the middle of 2005.
I’ve always maintained that it’s easy to conquer the fast-food landscape – open an outlet serving:
burgers from Burger King,
side dishes from Kenny Rogers,
chicken from Nando’s,
french fries [...]
“What if LotR had been written by someone else?”, a great read from the Straight Dope messageboards.
Excerpts:
Dr. Suess’s FOTR:.

Comparing Multimedia University (MMU, right) to a generic campus (left), wouldn’t you say MMU could use a new landscape designer?
Yesterday the CF invited a Reverend Doctor to speak on pre-marital sex. He showed us a 57-minute film, Pamela’s Prayer (1998). It was an exciting dramatization of a girl’s triumph over pre-marital sex. The first 10-15 minutes was footage of Pamela’s loving father raised her after her mother died. Then the story began of how [...]
What separates humans from animals is our ability to reason. Hence how we reason should be something we all reflect on.
Information is the basis of all our reasoning. Our beliefs, our abilities – they all rely on the input of information, be it from a person, a book, a webpage, a TV show, etc. The [...]
Today was the last day of a three-part weekly graphics “workshop” I was conducting for the MMUCF. They apparently realised they would need other people to do graphics for their annual plays after I leave.We covered Flash and Photoshop. Don’t really know much about Flash beyond tweening, but that’s actually the basis of anything flashy [...]
Frenchwoman undergoes the first successful (face) transplant. She had been mauled by a Labrador, and the donor was a brain dead woman. She was horribly disfigured and found it hard to eat, speak or drink. No pictures of her yet, but she’s doing well.

Wikipedia has a little history on the progress in facial [...]
