Cannibal threat pygmy band record album

"A group of Congolese pygmies - which until recently was under threat from cannibal soldiers - has recorded an album about the struggle of jungle life.

Pygmy band Ndima, of the Democratic Republic of Congo, has recorded the songs with the help of United Nations funding.

The group used traditional instruments, including animal horns, bamboo pipes, stretched jungle creepers and pipes made from tree trunks....more..."

The Register:

"What would you give up to keep your Internet connection? According to a NOP survey on behalf of BT Yahoo! Broadband, six in ten people would give up their favourite choccy bar, half would give up booze and four in ten would be happy to toss away their mobile phone. Oh, and one in ten Net users would even be prepared to dump a boyfriend or girlfriend to stay online. Whatever next? ®"

OK, so maybe I overreacted about me hair. But still, I liked it better before. It still looks good..I was just very sad; plus the hair lady combed it fucky, so that made my reaction worse. =p

It still looks good, just not -as- good.

(And Anya, it still looks better than at Brown; the humidity made it all fucky there...it usually is much better than it was during my (brief) stay there.)

Vocabulary: mu:

mu: /moo/

The correct answer to the classic trick question “Have you stopped beating your wife yet?”. Assuming that you have no wife or you have never beaten your wife, the answer “yes” is wrong because it implies that you used to beat your wife and then stopped, but “no” is worse because it suggests that you have one and are still beating her. According to various Discordians and Douglas Hofstadter the correct answer is usually “mu”, a Japanese word alleged to mean “Your question cannot be answered because it depends on incorrect assumptions”. Hackers tend to be sensitive to logical inadequacies in language, and many have adopted this suggestion with enthusiasm. The word ‘mu’ is actually from Chinese, meaning ‘nothing’; it is used in mainstream Japanese in that sense. In Chinese it can also mean “have not” (as in “I have not done it”), or “lack of”, which may or may not be a definite, complete 'nothing'). Native speakers of Japanese do not recognize the Discordian question-denying use, which almost certainly derives from overgeneralization of the answer in the following well-known Rinzai Zen koan:

A monk asked Joshu, “Does a dog have the Buddha nature?” Joshu retorted, “Mu!”

Good word, even if it's slang.

Nui Gloomy in Black

I want...I want so bad...

Product Description: "8 inches tall. By Mori Chack. Gloomy, an abandoned little bear, is rescued by Pity (the little boy). At first, he is cute and cuddly, but becomes more wild as he grows up. Since bears do not become attached to people like dogs by nature, Gloomy attacks Pitty even though he is the owner. So Gloomy has blood on him from biting and/or scratching Pitty. The Gloomy with blood is called "Chax Colony Edition. Mori Chack often thinks about the incompatibility between humans and animals and some illustrations showing a bear and a person hand in hand totally disgust him. "This cannot be true!" Although cruel, he believes that the relationship between Gloomy and Pitty is natural."

The Gender Genie!

According to the site, it will guess the gender of the writer based upon pasted text. Too bad my example, "Howdy, I'm Will. Yea, that's me name. Now, what am I?" says I'm female. My previous blog entry apparently says the same about me...

Maybe I don't know something it does?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush on Tuesday welcomed as "positive news" the deaths of Saddam Hussein's sons Uday and Qusay in a gunbattle with U.S. troops in northern Iraq, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

Calling the brothers "leaders of a brutal regime," McClellan said Bush welcomed their demise as "further assurance to the Iraqi people that the regime is gone and won't be back."

It's odd that a death is cause for such celebration, but I guess when it's someone evil...

After the news that Saddam's sons were killed, the stock market turned around to gain 100 points in an hour, closing up 62 where it had been down 50 points before.

Investors are really fucking weird. Two people get killed, so that makes them think stocks are worth more? Herd mentality at work, I guess.

So hey, check it out! It's tricky to set up (it's a bit convoluted if you use Mac OS X), but once you get it working you're golden.

OH, and so you don't get confused like I did: once you get it running, go to http://127.0.0.1:8888 to use it. Yea, that confused me. A lot.

The results of this years Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest are up!

The goal of the contest was, in case you've never heard of it, to make the worst first sentence of a story ever. And, wow, that was just an awkward sentence. It looks like none of my friends won; my sentence never even got submitted. My english teacher decided I couldn't do cliched/corny well enough. =/

A few highlights:

His knowing brown eyes held her gaze for a seeming eternity, his powerful arms clasped her slim body in an irresistible embrace, and from his broad, hairy chest a primal smell of "male" tantalized her nostrils; "Looks like another long night in the ape house" thought veterinarian Abigail Brown as she gingerly reached for the constipated gorilla's suppository.

"Failure" was simply not a word that would ever cross the lips of Miss Evelyn Duberry, mainly because Evelyn, a haughty socialite with fire-red hair and a coltish gait, could pronounce neither the letters "f" nor "r" as a result of an unfortunate kissing gesture made many years earlier toward her beloved childhood parrot, Snippy.
