If you're an archeologist, I bet it's real embarrassing to put together a skull from a bunch of ancient bone fragments, but then it turns out it's not a skull but just an old dried-out potato.

More amazing news

I just want you kids to know this: s0l3k7r0n 0wNz J0o!

edited to add: s0|3k7r0n owns the factories that make the Xbox and the Playstation 2. It has more money than we will ever be worth in our lifetimes. It does a multitude of other things which are cooler than your wildest fantasies of coolness, but I’d probably be killed by a |337 squad of ninjas if I whispered a word of it. Which I never would, so stop asking.

Busted?

I was really wondering what was going to happen with this story:

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 ? The CIA has asked the Justice Department to investigate allegations that the White House broke federal laws by revealing the identity of one of its undercover employees in retaliation against the woman?s husband, a former ambassador who publicly criticized President Bush?s since-discredited claim that Iraq had sought weapons-grade uranium from Africa, NBC News has learned.

It’s potentially worse than Watergate if it’s true.


My new job

Posted: September 25th, 2003 | Author: Barry | Comments Off

I haven’t been blogging a lot this week. I’ve been fairly busy with my new job. Currently I’m in the three week training period, which involves going to classes which start at 7 AM. It’s really not cool waking up before dawn and getting across the city using only public transportation and my wits to guide me.

My job at stream involves a non-disclosure agreement, which means I’m not able to brag about how mind-blowing my work there really is. Let me assure you that it’s cooler than anything in your wildest fantasies. Make no mistake, I’m going to be on the bleeding edge of technology.

Training is very interesting. There is a very diverse mix of people in my class. A couple of guys have had intense experiences in the military, and I suspect they have killed in the past.

Making friends in Iraq

Not content with shooting policemen and civilians in Iraq, drunken GIs wandered into the Baghdad zoo and killed an endangered species.

BAGHDAD, Iraq – A U.S. soldier shot and killed a tiger at the Baghdad zoo after it bit another soldier who had reached through the bars of its cage to feed it, a zoo security guard said Saturday.

The soldiers had been drinking beer when they entered the zoo Thursday night after it closed, said the guard, Zuhair Abdul-Majeed.

“He was drunk,” Abdul-Majeed said of the bitten soldier.

After the man was bit, the other American shot the tiger three times in the head and killed it, Abdul-Majeed told The Associated Press.

A completely unrelated note: I’m really amazed at the lack of flowers being thrown at the feet of our soldiers. With what Cheney and Rumsfeld said, I though that the flood of flower petals would be a major problem for our occupying liberating troops.

I don’t think Freud got into the whole psychoanalysis thing to help people.

I have found little that is good about human beings. In my experience most of them, on the whole, are trash.
