`American soldiers traumatised by fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan are to be offered the drug ecstasy to help free them of flashbacks and recurring nightmares.

The US food and drug administration has given the go-ahead for the soldiers to be included in an experiment to see if MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy, can treat post-traumatic stress disorder.’

The name says it all.

Quite a few non-employer-friendly links today. :)

`Here are some of the guys who have inspired me from the beginning. They all fall into the category of “extreme”. If you’re curious about how far I plan to go with my injections, this will give you a pretty good idea.’

I bet the ladies love it. I bet your boss would be less impressed to catch you looking at it. :)

`Every so often I do a monthly check-up of my hit stats for evilzug.com. It’s always cool to see what kind of traffic my site is getting because I often forget that there are people out there, looking at my stuff, on a daily basis. But this month, something is just unusual. I can’t place it yet, so I keep looking around.

I notice a spike of traffic from Yahoo image search. This is peculiar, as I don’t really have a lot of images on my site. Hmm… This catchs my eye!’

I experience a similar thing with biphallic images. Several orders of magnitude down the scale though.

Just wait until I post some actual pictures tho. :)

`You know you’ve dreamed of it since you were a little boy. You admired your mother’s ample bosom, grew green with envy when your sister began sprouting hers, couldn’t stop staring at stranger’s ones (still can’t, can you?), and now can’t get enough of your girlfriend’s/wife’s ones.

I’m talkin’ about Boobs! And now, thanks to the miracle that is tape, you yourself can also have this holiest of holies. In a quick 5 minutes, eHacked.com will transform you from an overweight pile of sludge, to the desire of all men all across the world.’

`In December 1996, some friends described a guy that had a metal plate implanted inside his head, complete with spikes, to give him a “metal mohawk”. It was a pretty fuzzy story, which had probably been distorted after being retold by many people. I thought this was completely outrageous, but was very curious about it. The following spring, I ran across an extremely good article on a man named Steve Haworth at BME. Steve was the man that did the procedure I had heard about in December. As it turns out, Steve does many different procedures, including the metal mohawk, altho the story told to me was quite distorted.’

With generally unpleasant looking images.

`With a mug like that, the star-nosed mole might seem to be in danger of scaring away all its food. Luckily, these bizarre-looking creatures can detect a snack and gulp it down all under a quarter of a second.

“Most predators take times ranging from minutes to seconds to handle their prey,” said Ken Catania of Vanderbilt University. “The only things I’ve found that come even close are some species of fish.”

The secret to the mole’s impressive foraging ability is the 22 appendages that ring its nose. Nearly blind, the animal uses this sensitive, star-shaped flesh to feel around in its dark, underground environment.’

This has to be about the craziest looking animal ever.

`Start by loosen up your muscles. Then we recommend using one of two techniques : Prrr or Shaken.

– To Prrr you hold your lips together and say ‘prrrr’, just like a horse on a sweet summer day.

– To Shakit you just shake your face from side to side and let those cheeks fly free.

Sometimes you drool, but thats perfectly normal.’

`This all occured around about 10pm last Friday night… I jumped on my bike and headed towards the Wayville showgrounds to scope out the action at the Big Day Out… as I’m cutting through the parklands, I turn a corner, go over this little bridge, and fuck me but about 5m. away there’s two dudes standing behind a tree looking at me…

One of the dudes was real short. Either that or he’s not short he’s ON HIS KNEES! You *may* be able to figure out what the hell was happening there!’

Not really safe for work. :)

`Here’s “Mr. Tom Cruise” giving Scientology cult leader “Mr. David Miscavige” the galactic space patrol salute (think Arnold Rimmer in the scifi comedy Red Dwarf) at the International Association of Scientologists event, held in the U.K. in October, 2004′

If I found Tom Cruise’s face in a corn chip or a turd or something, I could sell it on eBay for atleast 50 cents.

`Did five elementary school students go too far? [..]

Earlington Police Chief Craig Patterson would like to think that this is an isolated incident, but he knows it is not. He’s investigating a similar situation at Earlington Elementary School where police say two first graders were found in the bathroom performing sexual acts. Both are now charged with first degree sodomy. Patterson says, “We’ve got to be concerned that something like this could happen in a place like that.”‘

`Australian singer John Farnham is disappointed he would not be performing at the 90th anniversary Anzac service at Gallipoli, his manager said today.

The star was invited by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to sing at the event, but New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark has vetoed his performance, saying it would be inappropriate.

“I think it’s totally inappropriate to have loud entertainment on a place which was a killing field,” Ms Clark said on NZ radio today. [..]

NZ Government spokesman Ian Kennedy said he doubted Ms Clark had personally objected but snubbed the star by adding “I’m authorised to say New Zealand’s Prime Minister has never heard of Johnny Farnham”.’

`A man who used an internet chatroom to try to set up a mass suicide on Valentine’s Day had been trying for at least five years to persuade women to engage in sex acts with him and then kill themselves, it has been revealed.

Gerald Krein, 26, is charged with solicitation to commit murder and prosecutors are expected to add an attempted manslaughter charge.

Combing through chatroom records, investigators discovered that Krein had been trying to entice women across the US to commit suicide as far back as 2000, Klamath County Sheriff Tim Evinger said yesterday.’

`Researchers from Intel Corp. have created the first continuous laser beam using silicon components, a development the chip maker called a major scientific breakthrough that could herald significant advances in communications and medicine.

In a paper to be published Thursday in the journal Nature, Intel’s Photonics Technology Laboratory reported a way to overcome the primary hurdle to using silicon as a medium for laser light, an effect in which electrons freed by the energy of passing photons absorb the light as it passes through.’

`There are new allegations that heavily armed private security contractors in Iraq are brutalizing Iraqi civilians. In an exclusive interview, four former security contractors told NBC News that they watched as innocent Iraqi civilians were fired upon, and one crushed by a truck. The contractors worked for an American company paid by U.S. taxpayers. The Army is looking into the allegations.’

`I stumbled across a web page that had tons of prank phone calls to the IP Relay service. The IP Relay Service is a service designed to help people that are deaf or hard of hearing. It allows them to send text messages to the service and have operators, place a call to the desired party and then read the message to them.

While a very handy service, some people take advantage of it and use it for pranks phone calls. Normally, I would say this is a bad thing. However, if it weren’t for these prank calls, we would never know about “Operator 7624”. Unfortunately, all we know is that she is female, has a good sense of humor, and has a very hot voice!’

`Islamic militants waging a deadly insurgency against U.S.-led forces in Iraq pose an emerging international terrorism threat, CIA Director Porter Goss said on Wednesday. [..]

“The Iraq conflict, while not a cause of extremism, has become a cause for extremists,” Goss told the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

“Those jihadists who survive will leave Iraq experienced in and focused on acts of urban terrorism. They represent a potential pool of contacts to build transnational terrorist cells, groups and networks in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and other countries,” he said.’

`While it’s important to respect your children’s privacy, understanding what your teenager’s online slang means and how to decipher it is important as you help guide their online experience. While it has many nicknames, information-age slang is commonly referred to as leetspeek, or leet for short. Leet (a vernacular form of “elite”) is a specific type of computer slang where a user replaces regular letters with other keyboard characters to form words phonetically—creating the digital equivalent of pig Latin with a twist of hieroglyphics.

Leet words can be expressed in hundreds of ways using different substitutions and combinations, but once one understands that nearly all characters are formed as phonemes and symbols, leetspeek isn’t difficult to translate.’
