A whole bunch of cool links

Dr Who Remix Page This page hosts heaps (and I mean heaps) of amateur remixes of the classic theme - there are so so damn many of them - you have to check it out

Cat and Girl A bunch of at times hilarious, at times ridiculously obscure comics "Apple, orange. Race to the wall! Apple wins!"

Warren Ellis This guy collects cool stories via RSS feeds - a bunch of wierd info

New Scientist The best site for up to date info on everything that's going on in science - and you can impress all your friends with your seemingly obscure information

Wired Pretty much the same as New Scientist except purely for computers and technological news - home to the wonderful Regina Lynn

and of course Boing Boing A cool collection of news stories and other interesting factoids (haven't used that one in a while)

anywho -have fun

God love Regina Lynn

uhoh - now i'm in the swing a bit more

God I love Regina Lynn! I can't remember when I asked WIRED to send me daily newsletters but for the same amount of time I have thouroughly enjoyed every one of Regina's stories however embarrassing they have been. It's kind of like a voyeuristic take on checking my email. In fact the level of detail involved in each article probably makes it as 'taboo' as recieving personalised sex stories each day. Doubled by the whole act of checking my email in a public place. However, overal, Regina's stories on International Masturbation Month (May for those of you who are interested - perhaps some group charity work is in order?), teledildonics, XXXchurch and the other variety of sex/culture crossovers prevalent in the internet.

If it wasn't for Regina Lynn I'd have never made the distinction between 'group masturbation' and 'internet-assisted sex'

okidoki...first update in a while

Three cool movies this year:

Hitchikers' Guide to the Galaxy:
Sooo cool - nicely done and all those concerns about Mos Def turned out to be nothing. Pretty awesome film probably going to make a cool DVD. A bit disappointed though at the lack of any more showtune soundtracking other than the open but c'est la vie. 7/10

Batman Begins:
Nice. Looking good. Christopher Nolan as a dark, gritty, nasty Batman and the Batmobile with Hummer tyres...the way it should be. Bit disturbed though by the Tibetan training bit...possible crapness...but the quote from Bale that when he put on the batsuit he was more animal than man restores my faith.

and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory:
of course - this had to be in here sooner or later - f**king spectacular - finally the magical trio (Depp, Burton and Elfman) are together again and it looks sooo cool. Apparently Depp used Marilyn Manson as his inspiration for the role of Willy Wonka..sounds like Freaking Genius!

anyway - that's another post for now - see you when I'm bored again

Hey ho

What is it with these people from Answers in Genesis?

I mean I don't have a problem with people believing in Creation (or anything for that matter) provided they've got a good argument for doing so. For example, someone who believes in Creation at some time in the past and allows, at the very least, intra-species evolution as well as other observed phenomena can be religious AND intelligent. But these people use really bad arguments. Mercury's existence disproves evolution? A belief in evolution will encourage you to violence at school? What is this?

After all of these arguments, Evolution is just an hypothesis that happens to work at the moment? Until something proves it wrong, it appears that a lot of people are happy to believe it. And the same can be said for Creation. I haven't yet met one person, nor seen, nor heard of for that matter, who goes out of their way to destroy belief in Creation. So what drives these 'Xians'?

3 points:
* Are all Americans like this? Or at least South-Western Xians?
* Why try to destroy belief in Evolution?
* Why, oh why, does this have to be sneaking into Australia?
