The greatest pop song in history (maybe)

Monday, February 16th, 2009

One agreement which I had with Azarov and Mechlord (well maybe not mechlord) about this site was that when we did our first thing which would offend religious people, I would post the following video. The video is not much chop by modern standards, but the song itself is AMAZING. Ever since Azarov used the phrase “OMNEG” (which I taught him by the way), I feel that our religious reader (Neurophagus Archaedes is a non-practicing Christian) might have been offended…

XTC AWAY!

XTC “Dear God”

I know that there is a way to embed that, but I have yet to find it.

You guys were right, but only by accident

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

Turns out you guys weren’t too far off the mark about the media being a bunch of psychotic man-apes.

Nevertheless, I stand by my previous positon, it’s just that my previous position is now completely different. It has always been that way, under the legal rule of Quia Ego Sic Dico.

Analysis; the silliest nations in the world

Friday, June 5th, 2009

In my daily internet-trawling, I came across the following map. It is a detailed analysis of the three silliest nations in the world. And look! The U.S.A. is there! What a surprise!

Silly, silly people
Silly, silly people

Now, why are these people so silly? Well, it’s simple. Instead of choosing a simple and logical measurement system where 1000 grams make a kilogram and 1000 metres make a kilometre, they have instead chosen an archaic and silly system where fourteen pounds make a stone, twelve inches make a foot and twenty-nine Knuts make a Sickle. We people in the grey nations often wonder how on Earth you can keep all those numbers in your head.

Americans claim that they keep the Imperial system, along with such other oddities as optional suffrage and driving on the right, because it makes them unique. Well, when the only other nations not to accept logic are Liberia, which has 70% unemployment, $500 GDP per capita and 3.43% arable land, and Burma, which is ruled by a quite frankly insane military junta…

I’d say you were in pretty good company.
