Sometimes I Fear For Humanity

BBC News: " Plane bomb hoaxer jailed " — get this ... this guy is late for his flight from Heathrow back to Pakistan, so he calls in a bomb threat to delay the flight — using his own mobile phone — then turns up four days later for the replacement flight, and funnily enough […]

"And I Thought These Things Smelled Bad ... From The Outside"

Courtesy of ev ... another reason why kazaa is a fucked piece of software — summary, it rewrites amazon urls to pass referral hits to kazaa's associates account, and thus generate revenue for themselves, and stealing revenue from others — I won't even consider putting it anywhere near my pooters now.
