Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

Was the universe truly created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Read one man's compelling argument as to why there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design, and why his theory should be taught in schools, along with the theory of Evolution.

Any Master of Creation who takes measurements with his Noodly Appendage is ok with me. As is any theory that asserts that global warming, increased hurricane activity and other natural disasters are a direct result of the shrinking numbers of Pirates.

See below for an artist's impression of the Flying Spaghetti Monster creating a mountain, some trees, and a midget:

You've changed.....

This test is based on how cool you were in High School - for example, what crowd you ran with, etc - and then somehow does this highly convoluted calculation (seemingly only matched in its convoluted-ness by this sentence... not one of my finer grammatical moments... sorry, I digress) taking into consideration a few simple details of your current situation, to determine how cool you are now.

Understanding Independent Suspension

I'm sure you have heard the term,"INDEPENDENT FRONT SUSPENSION," but may not know exactly what it means.

When one front wheel of a vehicle hits abump or pothole, it will moveup or down to compensate while the other wheel remains steady. Both wheels are independent of each other, hence that expression.

Watch the attached video, a German commercial for the NissanPathfinder,to find out exactly how this works. This gives a moving experience which should benefit your understanding of this piece ofengineering

Bowling Warner...

Seems serial texter Shane Warne is up to his old tricks again. Word has it that, having reconciled with wife Simone and promising not to cheat on her again, he accidentally sent her a text message rather than to his apparent paramour alluding to a clandestine tryst (is that a tautology?).

Simone's response? "You sent it to the wrong person, loser." Then promptly packed her bags and headed home to Australia.

Ah Warnie. Australia's National Joke. Maybe it's the new hair.

The English Language

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.

The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

Australian Political Issues - Your national identity card

In 1986 the (Labour) Australian Government proposed a national identity card. In 1987 it was almost put to the people at a referendum, but didn't make it due to the obviously overwhelming resistance by the people.

In 1992 or thereabouts the UK also considered a national identity card. Former prime minister Margaret Thatcher likened it to identity papers in NAZI Germany. It didn't get up.

In 2006 the (Liberal) Australian government re-introduced the national identity card with a new name; the Access card. It's not mandatory, but you'll need to have one to access welfare, education, health and other public services.

It's a triumph of the bureaucrats over the libertarians.

If Howard's Liberals lose the upcoming federal election let's hope Rudd's team cancel the initiative. Or put it to the people in a referendum.

Y0u can also read about the project in more detail at this site

You could get motivated about this issue. It's basically a choice between the cost savings and improved efficiency of one-card-to-rule-us-all versus a one to one relationship between citizens and services.

The Government will says it will reduce fraud, and besides; technology is inevitable. Well, smartcard technology is here, but so are land mines and no one I know things we should spread more landmines. Except maybe around Bar Cleveand.

I was pretty ambivalent about the whole thing until recently when I began to think about human rights abuses around the world, and how governments reinforce their power over the people gradually or quickly until the people are powerless and subject to... well all sorts of nasty things.

Or you could just forget about it. After all those Nazis sure could dress well. And they wore their boots over their trousers. That's supposed to be stylish, isn't it?

And if this issue is important to you write to Rudd @ Myspace/Facebook

Where's Checkpoint Charlie when you need him?

Sydney's 2007 APEC (or OPEC, as President Bush calls it) Summit cost us a shit load of money (around $250 million in security alone). But it will probably be best remembered worldwide for the ABC's Chaser crew's breach of that same security, using a fake motorcade. I for one think this is not such a bad thing - I'd prefer to be thought of a bunch of witty (read as: smart-arse) ex-uni students dressed up as Osama than a race of people who run around screaming 'crikey!' while wrestling random forms of wildlife.... or worse still, as neither Kath NOR Kim (noice).

But anyway, perhaps the APEC security team could've learnt something by watching last week's episode of the Chaser's War on Everything (Wednesday nights, 9:30, ABC).

Priests of Wrongtown; pastoral care

Also From SMH this week...

A fundamentalist church pastor had sex with two of his teenage daughters to educate them on how to be good wives, a South Australian court has heard. The 54-year-old man, who cannot be named, was today sentenced in the SA District Court to eight and a half years jail after pleading guilty to seven counts each of incest and unlawful sexual intercourse. The court heard that the man had sex with his daughters for nearly a decade from 1991 when they were aged 13 and 15 at the family property.

The sex took place at various locations including in a shearer's shed, a paddock, on the back of a ute and, on one occasion, at the girls' grandparents house. The man told the court the sex was not about fulfilling his desires but about teaching his daughters how to behave for their husbands when they eventually married, as dictated in scripture.

In sentencing, Judge David Lovell said the misrepresentation of scripture used to justify the abuse of the girls "defied belief", and that he had "hypocritically betrayed" his religion and principles.

Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution



This has to be one of the worst covers ever of one of this great rock song. First as an AC/DC fan I am completely sickened by this so-called performance. I must apologise to you my Aussie friends for such a desecration of Australian art and culture. Also as a Canadian I must apologise to the world for giving you Celine Dion, talk about noise pollution. One bright note, she does not live here in Canada anymore. She is living in Los Vegas, doing a show almost every night on the strip, like Elvis use to do. Good God I am so glad that she is there and not here. I wish someone would do a dirty deed done dirt cheap and get rid of her. Also I must say to you Australia, thank you for AC/DC, now that's Fucking Rock. Enjoy, O sorry I mean get the barf bags out.

speaking of internet porn

Googley is having troubles in Australia. Apparently the ACCC thinks sponsored links are a breach of the trade practces act. The idea is that a sponsored link looks too much like a search result.

I have to say that's news to me. The top of page sponsored links have always been listed with a label saying what they are, and have been colour coded.

Who will pay for my search engine if the advertising leaves?
===========================

ACCC alleges misleading and deceptive conduct by Trading Post and Google

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has instituted legal proceedings in the Federal Court, Sydney, against Trading Post Australia Pty Ltd, Google Inc, Google Ireland Limited and Google Australia Pty Ltd alleging misleading and deceptive conduct in relation to sponsored links that appeared on the Google website.

The ACCC is alleging that Trading Post contravened sections 52 and 53(d) of the Trade Practices Act 1974 in 2005 when the business names "Kloster Ford" and "Charlestown Toyota" appeared in the title of Google sponsored links to Trading Post's website. Kloster Ford and Charlestown Toyota are Newcastle car dealerships who compete against Trading Post in automotive sales.

The ACCC is also alleging that Google, by causing the Kloster Ford and Charlestown Toyota links to be published on its website, engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct in breach of section 52 of the Act.

Further, the ACCC is alleging that Google, by failing to adequately distinguish sponsored links from "organic" search results, has engaged and continues to engage in misleading and deceptive conduct in breach of section 52 of the Act.

The ACCC is seeking:
declarations that Trading Post contravened sections 52 and 53(d) of the Act declarations that Google contravened section 52 of the Act injunctions restraining Trading Post from representing through sponsored links an association, sponsorship or affiliation with another business where one does not exist injunctions restraining Google from publishing sponsored links of advertisers representing an association, sponsorship or affiliation where one does not exist injunctions restraining Google from publishing search results that do not expressly distinguish advertisements from organic search results orders that Trading Post and Google implement trade practices compliance programs an order that Google publish a notice on its website outlining the above, and costs.

The matter has been listed for a directions hearing in the Federal Court, Sydney, on 21 August 2007 before Justice Allsop.

This is the first action of its type globally. Whilst Google has faced court action overseas, particularly in the United States, France and Belgium, this generally has been in relation to trademark use. Although the US anti-trust authority the Federal Trade Commission has examined similar issues, the ACCC understands that it is the first regulatory body to seek legal clarification of Google's conduct from a trade practices perspective.
