It’s a shoe in that Whitney was smothered by her bodyguard.

And, AT? What did you actually get up to this weekend? Or did you mean to post this rant on the Salon thread where it belongs?

The downside of getting news via Twitter is that when you see “RIP Person X” trending, you immediately assume it is a brainless meme and not the truth. Social networking fail…

fb @ 9 – I’m much happier with the ALP being in government in SA with Rann and others gone. Surprisingly the Greens got outpolled by the informal vote in both by-elections though. That must be a big shock to them.

Chris, you obviously didn't follow the link I provided. His "proof" that AGW is logically impossible reminded me of the Time Cube, except that the lunacy was more tightly under control and there weren't quite so many fonts and colours.

ABC News website currently has not one but two! front-page stories on pop singer Whitney Houston – and not one mention anywhere on the site that I can see, that a man has been deported today from Malaysia to Saudi Arabia despite facing almost certain execution, for “blasphemy”. What has happened to the ABC? Is anyone going to bother any more? Houston was also the lead story on every ABC radio news bulletin today. ABC should be more careful – formerly rusted-on ABC supporters can and will start to question whether the national broadcaster is delivering for the bucks we’re spending on it.

Faustus, all I’ve seen of Tottori is from the window of the train and the middle of Tottori City — the trips there have been day-trips to meet the beloved’s parents. And I am still banned from her home-town on the outskirts of Mochigase, where foreign devils haven’t been seen for 30 years and the locals are apparently still scared that another one might appear without warning (the world is full of foreigners…).

Now I’m in Kansai Airport with a box of Blueberry Cheesecake Kit-Kats, waiting for the flight to Coolangatta…

Saw a noticeboard outside a beauty salon in Fukuyama that offers those seeking to shed some weight an hour-long sliming session for only $115.

I hope they use good quality slime.

Use to like the Brissy Lions commentary “(Darrel) White combines beautifully with (Simon) Black to put (Jonathan ) Brown in a fantastic position to add to the scoreboard and lift the team.

Reminded me of my uncle and his family.

D&O.. I was being a bit facetious.

I would assume:
acid+bad stuff + base -> bad stuff (precipitate) + water

Water (to local environmental standards) is flushed down the drain, other stuff removed.

Lax environmental laws is one reason cheap solar cells (for example) are made in China.
