Only In America

Yep, no chance in hell to sort out any of the world issues with this kind of educated people? Or are they educated? Looks like it's a suitable situation if your a politician. These one, I guess all watch Fox News or something else of low caliber.

Families visiting Disneyland had an un-expected extra attraction today. Yep, the UK's best know"guerrilla artist", you guessed? maybe not, but it's Banksy. what did they see, well have a look at the images, click to enlarge, yep, what did they see, well...  A life-size replica of a Guantanamo Bay detainee. It took Disney security 1h30mins to shoo everyone away, close down the ride (those dolls could be dangerous?).

Over the last few days, the astronomical world has been in turmoil over a new planet (2003 UB313) is it a planet or is it not, would it demote pluto to a mere junior planet. It's all to do with size, yep for this guys size does matter. This isn't where CNN went wrong. IT was in distance...

The Hubble Space Telescope measured the bright, rocky object officially known as 2003 UB313 [Xena], at about 1,490 miles (2,300 kilometers) in diameter, roughly 70 miles (112 kilometers) longer than Pluto. At 9 billion miles (15 kilometers) from the sun, it is the farthest known object in the solar system.

Read that quote again, yes, 9 billion miles = 15 KM!! I suppose that makes a 26 mile marathon not as big as all that. I mean, it wouldn't even draw a sweat from us metric types. I suppose that we will be waiting for the imperial types to finish their little run.
There you go, another reason not to watch 24hr news. It's not really a good source of news as they tend to run the same story over and over and over and over and... oh you know... over again. Best to just find your news on the interweb.

An Anti-war protester found a very novel way to protest against the war in Iraq. No he didn't run around the White House in the nude, or did he gate crash some press conference where Bush was chatting about nothing. No he found a very novel way, The US army has a website that it uses as a recruitment tool. So what's on this website? Well you can play at being a soldier, get the feel of being in battle, and yes, get your head blown off as well, but you don't die, your playing in the safety of your living room.

You may or may not have noticed if you look on the top right on some of the images, that there is a cheat server for the guys to play, I'm guessing that this one is the 'ignores the Geneva Convention' mode

Well by the looks of it yep, But being 18 year old drug dealer in Orem, Utah, USA it seems that yes, it can make you very stupid indeed.
A dealer called the local county sherif to report that someone had broken into his house and that a quater pound of weed had been nicked.
The said burglar had cut himself while breaking into the house and had left a blood trail to where the weed had been stashed away.
The 18year old Orem gentleman (we'll have to call him that as we need to be gentle with the poor guy) advised the sherif that he had tried to make a deal with a 'provo man' . The sherif went around to the said persons mother house and found 6oz of weed and a blood soaked pair of trousers. Having arrested the 'provo man' they then proceeded to call the Gentleman to ask if he could come down to the station to do an ID check on the missing weed.
To their suprise the gentleman came down to the ID, and was prompty arrested for possession of marijuana in a drug-free zone with intent to distribute.

That was a good nights work, to really stupid people taken of the street.
