Playing Catch Up

Paintball guns just got an upgrade- they are now being made to take propane instead of CO2. The advantage is it's cheaper ($8 compared to $250) and gives many more shots (50,000 compared to 1,000).

The Greenland icecap is thickening. This is considered a bad thing.

Now this is cool- the world's smallest car- 4 nanometers across with buckyball wheels of only 60 atoms each. To give an idea of scale, that's only slightly wider than a strand of DNA. And it;s not just for show either, it has a chassis, an axle and fully funtcioning suspension. Nanotech is really starting to get going.

Don Young and Ted Stevens need a swift kick in the ass- they're opposing moving money from two bridges in Alaska (one of them is the Bridge to Nowhere) to rebuilding in Louisiana.

Looks like there's going to be a bit of a fight over surrendering control of the internet from the US. to be honest, I'd almost expected them to roll over and hand the keys to the UN. Let's hope the US wins this one too. What the hell kind of claim does Brazil or Iran have of the net anyway?

Cowboy Blob has posted another fantastic creation of his- a vampires, werewolves and zombies3-gun match. Looks like it would be a heck of a lot of fun. Make sure to check it out- it's a great, inventive layout.

Thw wife of a Palestinian terrorist hid a live grenade beneath her toddler. Motherly love?

The link between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda- why, it's the UN of course. What a suprise.

I'm sure Hank Hill would be delighted to hear about the paintball guns. Well, if he was real.
