Motorcycling across Angola.

Angola, it’s not like they said.  Second installment.  Notes about beer.  Landmine track with thorns.  More about fuel.  Iona, schools, and desert.  Sand, bike problems, and the middle of nowhere.  West coast, beach and dunes.  The doodsakker : If you get stuck here, you get fucked here.  Waiting on the tide, escape.  Resting up.  Twisties [...]

You have to understand that model rockets are a threat to the state.

No, really. Because there was nothing to report, and no action was taken. Get off my yard.

Top Gear finally does the best segment ever.

Well, you thought the Hamster crashing at 300 mph was amazing, and yes – seeing James May go 409 kph in the Bugatti Veyron was truly death-defying.     But to see true bravery, you have to see “Man Love is Good – OK“

I have just developed a new life rule…

2. Don’t eat things while they are still moving.

Greed!

This article is quite the interesting read. A thought provoking analysis of our economic blindness. He religiously documents sources and those are in and of themselves often equally interesting. Particularly disturbing to me were the references to poverty levels amongst children in the U.S.

One Billion killed by what?

Generally THEIR OWN BEHAVIOUR.
Honestly people what the fuck is wrong with you? You decide to perform action X which results in condition Y. You performed this action about 180,000 times or so over the course of your   lifetime and now its not your fucking fault?
Assume you died.
You were not killed by anything but yourself. [...]
