A Japanese company invents a car which runs purely on water

And no, I don’t mean hydrogen. I mean any type of water, and there is no need for recharging of batteries or fuel to start the engine.

Now let’s see if this works out, or if they oil companies destroy it.

Oklahoma Declares Independence from the United States

This means that the Federal government no longer has the power to control Oklahoma (like say imposing martial law if there was a “terrorist” attack).

Xbox 360

Why do they call it the Xbox 360?

Because when you see it, you’ll turn 360 degrees and walk away.

I seriously, cannot stop laughing at this. And it’s not like I haven’t seen it before, I just saw it again today on 4chan, cracked up, and I cannot stop =/

Political Compass

Just went you thought I couldn’t be any more of a commie…

I’ve re-assessed my political compass. It used to be:
Economic Left/Right: -5.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.64
As of late last year.

Now it’s:
Economic Left/Right: -6.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.51

Muahahaa, it’s only a matter of time until I unite the left, and turn Australia into a communist paradise.
Get your political compass here.

EU takes swipe at Microsoft

‘She did not mention Microsoft by name Tuesday, but encouraged computer users to avoid formats that, like many Microsoft products, are based on proprietary standards.’

‘”I know a smart business decision when I see one – choosing open standards is a very smart business decision indeed,”‘

‘EU agencies “must not rely on one vendor” and “must refuse to become locked into a particular technology – jeopardizing maintenance of full control over the information in its possession,” she said.’

Europe leads the way!
Well no, I suppose Cuba does, but the EU is still very good.

Also, my theories on looking at 4chan while studying are now scientifically proven

‘they exhibited improved cognition and creativity after exposure to sexy stimuli.’.

News on 911 & HAARP / China’s Earthquake

USA Military Officers Challenge Official Account of September 11

One quote within the artcle:
“Building 7, was never hit by a plane and even NIST is ashamed to advance a reason for its collapse. And, miracle of miracles, these three buildings just happened to be leased and insured by the same guy who is on tape saying they decided to ‘PULL’ the last one to fall.”

I think that just summarises everything quite nicely?

China’s Earthquake Hrmmmm….

All the various theories & arguments behind it’s true nature are too complex and numerous to summarise, so I shall just link to the main discussion thread here, and some interesting news articles:
