Long Overdue Update.
Stupid sopranos thinking they're so great.
Yahoo typed up something that doesn't make sense:
'As for "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," it has now earned $312 million after four weekends. It passed the $300 million mark on Friday, outpacing its 2002 predecessor, "The Two Towers," by 10 days. However, the new film lost 50 percent of its audience from last week, a steeper drop than suffered by either "The Two Towers" plays the runaway daughter of the U.S. president, was released by Time Warner's Warner Bros. Pictures.'
Tools. Get an editer.
This link doesn't work anymore, but it was basically about some guy trying to cross the English Channel. In a car. Above water.
Important info for all you beach goers.
West Virginia is for sale on Ebay.
You can't get text messages from Jesus anymore.
Apparently God annoints President of the United States directly, and he doesn't get elected by the voters. (Funny radical joke: so that's what happened!!) Actual quote:
'Then there is the unread and uninformed Rick Cook. His statement: "I don't think the good Lord in heaven comes down and anoints a candidate to be the leader of our country," reveals his complete lack of biblical knowledge and truth.'
Nothing follows to back up his extraordinary claim. I'll do some research and see if there are any verses or passages that say anything about God annointing the leaders of righteous nations or something like that. If I don't find anything I'd like to write in and laugh at the guy.
SCO bad. Good virus, good.
Check that update, yo! Complete random useless knowledge!!!

I sent the New York Post people (online editor, business editor, and the author) a letter about the article. I doubt I will receive a response, but we shall see.
There's an article in the New York Post that talks about the whole "Grand Theft Auto is EVIL" thing again. One quote in there really bothered me:
"And cases surface constantly in which "Grand Theft Auto" has been linked to violence and killing. In Tennessee last summer a motorist was killed and his passenger wounded when two boys - aged 14 and 16 - played "Grand Theft Auto" and then decided to go out and take sniper shots at cars, just like in the game."
The key word there is "constantly". I am only aware of the one case that the post itself cited that I talked about back in October. Where are all ther other cases that are constantly coming up? I looked up constantly just to make sure my concept of the word was not mistaken. Sure enough, constantly means "continually; perseveringly; without cessation".
So that means that cases are coming up continually. IE every minute there is a call to 911 about someone going out into the highway and blowing cars up and it is later found that the perpetrators were simply trying to copy Grand Theft Auto. Yet there is only one. Bad New York Post, bad.
What's really funny is that the newest edition of GTA, which is Vice City and full of lovely 80s music, "has been on the market for a little over a year now and has already sold more than 5 million copies."
Wow.
Counting all the other copies that were sold of the other games, that's a lot. And yet only two people out of how many million that play the game have gone out and acted it out? Two. Two people, who were probably mentally unstable, out of untold millions that bought the game, let alone have played the game (I don't own it, but I have bought it), have done this. Well damn, I can totally see the constancy of it all!

I wish God talked to me about election results from the future!
Finally, the Mars probe mystery revealed!
My first week at my job is done. Woohoo for employment.
I finally saw Bowling For Columbine last night, and it was really good. I need to digest it some more and think about it before I talk about it too much though, since it was pretty intense. But it was good.
So was Snow Falling On Cedars. Reallygood great.
