Running or cycling whilst drunk may result in unanticipated (but not always unwelcome) entanglements with trees and shrubs. Mr Kouessi A Rene of Benin has monetised this concept and become a “manufacturer of alcoholics extracted from plants,” which he seems to be exhibiting at the 9th Ghana International Trade Fair.
I used often to end up [...]
I assume (because I want to) that Gulliver’s Travel Agency organises theme holidays that commence with a dwarf bondage session and end with a celebrity lunch during which Messrs Yahoo, Jerry Yang and David Filo, reveal the depravity and brutishness behind those billion dollar grins.
I wonder (because I have nothing to better to do) whether [...]
That’s what this new Dutch website, Recht om te Weten (The Right to Know), aims to tell you. And it’s not the work of some nutter: the Dutch environment ministry is paying for it and it’s being run by a bunch of environmental organisations with support from the University of Nijmegen. What it does is [...]
… but worse than in Winston Salem (who he?), according to the new Mercer quality of life survey. Both Madrid (38= with New York) and Barcelona (44= with Lexington) are up six, Shanghai is rocketing, and Zurich wins as usual, despite no one wanting to go there. Why pay $250 for a report which says [...]
“The first Project was to shorten Discourse by cutting Polysyllables into one, and leaving out Verbs and Participles, because in reality all things imaginable are but Nouns.”
Languagehat is evangelising, but, although the goal of providing extended Latin script support is excellent, Gentium still doesn’t hack it as a screen font. Here’s a chunk of Revolutionary Workers Party ideology in 9, 10 and 12 point rendered using MSIE6:

Newland v Horsman, 1681: “thereupon Dalmasie appealed to a superior Court; then Dalmasie removed the Appeal on Pretence of Preventing several Appeals; the Master finding his Freight lodged so that he could not have it till the Cause was heard in the highest Court, which was not like to be in some Years Time, comes away without any Freight or Relading there for his Principals Account” (Query here.

Check out this substantial bombshell being chucked at the Spanish establishment at all levels and in all territories for its collective refusal to confront (indeed for its participation in) the flagrant, widespread, long-term abuse of individual property rights. But will the threat of a Bulgarian-style loss of European funds to the common weal be sufficient to persuade the substantially interchangeable brands who govern us to fine and jail their in-laws? I would have thought not: a poor man is the living image of Our Lord, begging is blessèd, and the doctrine professed by both the PP and the PSOE is essentially Catholic, albeit veiled in the latter case in flea-Marxist frippery.
Over at Crónica Verde, about the ongoing destruction by the Andalusian PSOE of the Doñana National Park. This is quite different from the abuse of natural space during the dictatorship because (all together now!) Franco was of the right, while Chaves is of the left, and the people’s friend to boot.
Other old media may be bolder liars, but you can always rely on ABC for the grossest cheese, as in this drooling retrowank re Felipe González’s new bit. How can you write a thing like that, even if it is a double entendre? Or am I just too much of a curious puritan?
