The Pope is dying. And I find myself rather unmoved. I'm an atheist and the man has quite simply never meant anything to me. Thoug I am sad he has suffered. It will be curious to see who a new Pope will be, though.
ETA: He just died, apparently. May he rest in peace...
Speaking of deaths - Terri's death seems not to have ended the argument.
A VERY interesting report from BBC's US corrospondent (as a sidenote - creationist museum? I'd *pay* to see that and boggle in its insanity. And bring along my brother, who would probably start arguing with those people and I could watch.)
And then there's Tom DeLay's reaction. Am I wrong to want to sit on him until he shuts the smeg up?
Continuing on the sidenote -I must admit I find creationists - true, hardcore, Earth is 4000 years old creationists - widly fascinating. I didn't even know they existed until recently. That's what you get for growing up in little old Norway, I suppose. I admit to a very real desire to poke them with sticks. (I know. I'm cruel and will go to hell, where I will help torture Fred Phelps with burning forks.) They do seem to live in a world other than mine.
But I guess that can be said for us all. Power of the mind and the illusions we do make. But it must a very strong belief to fly in the face of that much science. I'm pretty impressed, really. And I really do want to see that museum so I can take pictures I can boggle at whenever I am bored.
April 1st passed without anyone fooling me (though some tried). GAFF seemed to have a giant big wank fool. Heh.
10 stories that could be April Fool's, but weren't
Norwegian April Fool's jokes (The most popular joke - moose in the garden - I remember mum once pulled on us while we were up in a cabin somewhere. And all bolted to see, of course, and mum sniggered "April Fool's". Only it was March 31st. Whoops.)
Cam is Hungry
Went on a mad CSI screencapping spree of my season 3&4 DVDs the other day. Huzzah, screencaps. Though I miss my photoshop, where maybe even me could have fun with graphics. Ah well. If anyone want any particular caps of said seasons, BTW, talk to the Cam. Bring episode name and scene. (I shall do season 1&2, so you can get in early there, too.)
