Having experienced some crashes with Firefox lately, I thought I'd give Safari for windows a try. I didn't like it much on the Macintosh, it tended to have a great many issues rendering pages.

This is a picture of the first time it ran after installing.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The man picked by the Creation Museum to play Adam leads quite a different life outside the Garden of Eden.

Records show that Eric Linden owns a pornographic web site called "Bedroom Acrobat."

Museum officials today stopped airing the 40-second video after learning from The Associated Press of Linden's online appearances.

To make the corgi more palatable, it was mixed with apple, onion and seasoning, turned into meat balls, and served with salad.

"I ate three lumps of it. But I spat two of them out, so I really ate one and a half of them," McGowan said.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The idea of executing child rapists, even when there in no loss of life, is making headway in the United States.

The Louisiana Supreme Court last week upheld the death sentence for a pedophile, and the governor of Texas is soon to sign into law legislation to that effect.

In 1995, Louisiana was the first state to adopt legislation authorizing the death penalty for child rapists.

(For some reason, the Yahoo article identifies one man as a 42 year old Patrick Kennedy. And then links to the biography and voting record of a certain 40 year old Patrick Kennedy, Rhode Island Democrat Representative. That's just plain wrong.)

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

Vostok 1 carried Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin on the first manned space flight, an orbital, lasting 1 hour and 48 minutes, just 25 days before Alan Shepard made the first American space flight in Freedom 7, a 15 minute suborbital journey, which redefined the "Shepard's Prayer" (during the countdown, he said "Please, dear God, don't let me fuck up.")

Whilst Chuck Yeager dubbed the American Mercury astronauts 'Spam in a can', it was far more applicable to Yuri who had no control at all over the ship, it being run remotely by ground crews, whilst Shepard had control of all three axis of movement.

Yuri was killed when his plane crashed in 1968. The is still controvery over the cause.

CASABLANCA (Reuters) - A suspected suicide bomber blew himself up

I put $50 on the next edit saying "An alleged..."

Lost that one. They next changed the intro and added a second paragraph:

Three suspected bombers detonated their explosive belts, killing themselves and at least one police officer and wounding more than 20 people in a police raid on a safe house in which a fourth was shot dead, police sources said.

Still suspected to be suicide bombers after self-detonating.

I wonder if they're angling for a job at the UN.

Why?

Because its humiliating to have him bottle fed. Really. Click for a picture of the bear they want to kill.

"Kill the bear. Save the... erm... Shit, what's not cute and fuzzy that we can sell?"

"Species appropriate". Frank Albrecht, you are a fucking idiot.

Very new - certainly to the steward running it. First the announcement was in german, in no uncertain terms directing all to fasten the seatbelts for turbulence. Then French, which I think everyone ignored on the basis that the french voice would just overlook anyone who did not comply, or capitulate if challenged. Then a very correct englishman asked nicely if we wouldn't mind putting on the belts. Please. Thank you kindly. Don't make me put the German back on.

Miami, during spring break. I should have known better.

It appears the hotel has been converted into a frat house. It sounded like a night club downstairs in the bar, and the adjoining rooms were not much better.

Having to step over a comatose drunken lad to get into my room didn't do much to improve the image presented.

Nor, this morning, was finding the used condom where the kid was.

Either he got lucky, or very, very unlucky.

Strolling out, the first thing I'm confronted with is a tanning salon. In South Beach. Miami. Tanning Salon. People are nuts.

During the day, it's quite a charming area, though.

An eggcorn is the practice of mistakenly replacing an unusual word (often archaic) with something phonetically similar. "Baited breath" is a fine example, as is "reeking havok".

Staples (UK), sells padded envelopes. On the details page, they helpfully add...

These padded postal bags are the ideal choice for those items that need that added protection, or for that extra piece of mind.

Making things easier for Igors the world over.

One wakes, 12 hours later, with no memory past the first drink. And is still dizzy and nauseous with an erratic pulse 12 hours after that.

Please, be careful. Its spring break, and the assholes are out.

Here they are.
