  • My 2ndLife Avatar has Become addicted to World of Warcraft...

    Like the metaphor suggests, I am feeling a 'bit lost' these days people...

    I gave Uni a try and the Initial results are not good. I think I missed my chance in this life at an Academic career. Maybe Sociology just isn't for me, Maybe I am (in fact) too set in my ways.

    Strange How I've revisited the things I enjoyed 20 years ago, now that I've stopped Drinking to search for some inspiration in Life...

    My Comic Books are all very poor Films now... there have been Civil wars, Deaths and Rebirths but oddly enough (20 years on), not much has changed in the Characters lives, besides the formats of there reinvented Old lives.

    Dungeons and Dragons is going through a 4th Edition Evolution. I visited their Message Boards to get an understanding of that Games direction and learnt the new meanings of words like Trolling and Flaming. It seems that it is not the meek that have inherited that world, just the pedantic, cruel and annoying.

    Warhammer Fantasy Battles is quite simply the most expensive hobby in the mutiverse... so No, that won't be happening again for me anytime soon. I did 'Troll Around' and got the new D&D and Warhammer Rulebooks in .pdf Format and they do make interesting reading. I just get the impression that 'Too many minds have spoilt those games'.

    Chess. Well Chess is still Chess.. that goodness. I have found a variation known as 'Land War Chess' which I may pursue further as an avenue.. at least I could Invent a Few new elements to the game as I go along.

    Woodworking is something new I have been trying and well, it is fun. Maybe Life moves on without you, so you just have to flow with it.

    Hmm ... anyway, this Summer my Passion is for

    Great Pyramid "Built Inside Out"

    'French architect "cracks" 4500-year-old mysteryStones haulded to "pyramid within pyramid"Claims built by only 4000 people, not 100,000

    A FRENCH architect claims to have cracked a 4500-year-old mystery surrounding Egypt's Great Pyramid, saying it was built from the inside out.Previous theories have suggested Pharaoh Khufu's tomb, the last surviving example of the seven great wonders of antiquity, was built using either a vast frontal ramp or a ramp in a corkscrew shape around the exterior to haul up the stonework.But flouting previous wisdom, Jean-Pierre Houdin said advanced 3D technology had shown the main ramp which was used to haul the massive stones to the apex was contained 10-15 metres beneath the outer skin, tracing a pyramid within a pyramid.

    Dim-witted thieves steal Global Positioning Systems

    On January 23, 2007 Theives who stole global positioning systems (GPS) from a warehouse in New York state were apprehended after authorities activated the tracking devices to locate them.Fourteen GPS were stolen last week from a warehouse in Babylon, New York. The town had planned to use them to track its municipal fleet of vehicles.Police and municipal staff said they remotely activated the devices and were led to the home of one of the culprits who was found fiddling with one of them. The GPS device is quite beneficial when we are looking for something. Within 48 hours we had the individuals under arrest," said Inspector Robert Casagne of the Suffolk County detachment. The thieves had snagged cell phones and planned to sell them, he said. Three people face charges.

    Could NASA be the 1st Interplanetary Murderers ?

    AP are reporting that two NASA Viking space probes may be responsible for the death of alien microbes on Mars some 30 years ago.

    The reasoning is based on how Viking may have been looking for the wrong kind of life (Earth-like life based on salt water). Viking would have missed any hydrogen peroxide based life and, due to the nature of the experiment, would have inadvertently killed it. Ooops.

    Wise Words from A Nigerian Fisherman

    I was watching a TV show the other about Industrialisation in Nigeria.
    The Pollution from Up River had destroyed a Fishing Villages Way of Life.

    "What Will You Do Now ?",
    asked a Reporter to a Distraught Elder Fisherman,
    "Will You Go to School ?"

    "Why Would I go to School ?
    Those That Do,
    Build the Factories That Killed Our Fish"
