`In typical fashion, the daily Spanish newspaper Diario Extra published on the front page of today’s edition, gruesome photos of the remains of the man attacked by two rottweilers Thursday morning.
The graphic photos are, according to the newspaper editor, published as a reminder of what a mortal danger of a rottweiler attack.
Meanwhile, the Nicaraguan government, is asking Costa Rican authorities for a complete investigation into the death of 25 year old Nicaraguan, Leopoldo Natividad, who was illegal in Costa Rica and was attacked while attempting to rob, along with two other thieves, the installations of Taller Zuñiga, located in Cartago.’
With the images in question. I think the fact that these sorts of photos end up in the newspaper at all, let alone on the front page, is more interesting that the story itself. I don’t necessarily think it’s a bad thing. There’d probably be less debate and more action about allowing people to have dangerous dogs if more pictures like this were published. [shrug]

‘New Yorkers go about unaware of what is happening just beneath their feet: Power pulses, information flies, and steam flows. The city’s infrastructure starts just below street level, but it doesn’t stop there.’
Apparently all you need is an old car engine, some rusty steel pipe and a welder.
It’s pretty cool, I s’pose. But motorcycles are death machines even when they don’t have lots of sharp metal corners. :)
`o.k. so i’m no barry white but i did pick up this little gem at a local bookstore on a recommendation from the clerk (thanks nameless clerk) which i wanted to share. it’s a slim but large format volume called the erotic coloring book published in 1975 by berlin & associates out of l.a., illustrated by a guy named craig berlin. it’s high-larious and most assuredly nsfw. possibly nsfpptdhf as well (not safe for people prone to dangerous hallucinogenic flashbacks). you might consider it the companion piece to this earlier post i suppose. see a sampling of the self proclaimed erotic pages below.’
‘During World War I, the British and Americans faced a serious threat from German U-boats, which were sinking allied shipping at a dangerous rate. All attempts to camouflage ships at sea had failed, as the appearance of the sea and sky are always changing. Any color scheme that was concealing in one situation was conspicuous in others. A British artist and naval officer, Norman Wilkinson, promoted a new camouflage scheme that was derived from the artistic fashions of the time, particularly cubism. Instead of trying to conceal the ship, it simply broke up its lines and made it more difficult for the U-boat captain to determine the ship’s course. The British called this camouflage scheme “Dazzle Painting.” The Americans called it “Razzle Dazzle.”‘
with a bunch of cool pictures of large boats painted strangely.
Someone has too much time on their hands.
Jessica Alba is hot. And now she’s nude aswell as hot.
See for yourself. :)
Update 24/12/06: It seems this site doesn’t work any more. Something to do with a phishing scam. [shrug]
Seriously. What the fuck?
Pictures of industrial plants, and more. Kinda crazy looking places.
`This is but one horrific example of the tactics used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to stifle legitimate dissent and violate the civil rights of political groups that the administration dislikes. Along with the anti-war movement, the Nixon White House targeted the civil rights movement for disruption, using on-campus informants to infiltrate and in many cases to disrupt legal protests and activism.
This coloring book, which was purported to be from the Black Panthers, had actually been rejected by them when it was brought to them by a man later revealed to have intelligence connections. Not to be troubled by the fact that the Panthers found the coloring book revolting, the FBI added even more offensive illustrations, and mass mailed it across America. It so infuriated the white population that they stopped listening to the legitimate grievances of the black people.’
This is cool. :)
I want a pet bear. Tho, specifically a polar bear. I’d ride it around the town.
Some images of the landing gear of that plane that had the dodgy landing the other week. The wheel has been nicely ground down by the asphalt.
Some arty thing with mail boxes.
Lots of photos of some guy in a diaper.
And before you ask, yes, of course he’s German. They love that sort of thing over there, you know. :)
As the old German saying goes: Deine Mutter hat Hundesaft auf deinem Gezicht.
Edit: Actually, now I realise he’s Swiss, not German. [shrug] Still, I’ll leave my slanderous comments towards the Germans here because it may amuse certain colleagues of mine. :)
`Prisoners, Families and Friends … Were you in the Visiting Room? … On Vacation? With Composite Magic Photos you Could NEVER Tell The Difference!
Are you tired of seeing you and your family in dozens of photos taken in the Visiting Room over the years … all with the same old boring Visiting Room backdrops?’
It’s a goatse sorta thing.
Now, if only I could find the biphallic version.. [chuckle] :)
Update: Now with a working picture.

`There is no need to go out in the drizzling rain to protest anymore. You can do it from the comfort of your own home.’
`Armin Meiwes (The cannibal),was charged with murder for sexual satisfaction.
He was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 8 1/2 years in prison for killing, dismembering and eating another man who allegedly agreed to the arrangement over the Internet.’
Not safe for work, I would think.
`U.S. President George W. Bush writes a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a Security Council meeting at the 2005 World Summit and 60th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York September 14, 2005. World leaders are exploring ways to revitalize the United Nations at a summit on Wednesday but their blueprint falls short of Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s vision of freedom from want, persecution and war.’
News presented the way it deserves to be. :)
For a change, this is actually SFW. :)
