Ever watch Whale Wars? It’s about a bunch of animal rights protestors who chuck stink bombs and the like onto Japanese whaling vessels around Antarctica. The idea is to stop the japs from hunting whales for “scientific purposes”, i.e. hack out the meat and oil for the domestic market. Whether they’re being chopped up...

facebook trademark face

Yes, you read that correctly. Mark Zuckerberg and his pesky little website want to move another step closer to world domination by banning people from using the word face. Officially it only applies to telecommunication services. I don’t know though, this kind of thing makes me paranoid. In a world where people like suing...

I’m pretty sick of all this bullshit about Ireland being a smart economy and knowledge economy. They are the most empty soundbites we’ve heard in Ireland over the last 15 years. Every week you hear overpaid useless fat politicians shitting these soundbites out of their toxic mouths. Today I read that two state funding...

Until recently I had everything pretty clear in my mind. About 5,000 years ago this big guy with a beard farted or something and the next minute the entire universe sprang out of his arse. Then he filled his newly created masterpiece with light and just after that (yes after that, what are you...

No, I’m not talking about strange looking green men, I’m not talking about a David Bowie song and I’m not talking about a BBC television show about some time travelling cop. I’m talking about human beings getting their asses to Mars. Back in the late 50’s, the 60’s and early 70’s we witnessed some...
