Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on.

They seem to have some strange ideas about justice down in Georgia.
From Amnesty International USA:
Troy Davis faces execution for the murder of Police Officer Mark MacPhail in Georgia, despite a strong claim of innocence. 7 out of 9 witnesses have recanted or contradicted their testimony, no murder weapon was found and no physical evidence links Davis to the crime. The Georgia Board of Pardon and Paroles has voted to deny clemency, yet Governor Perdue can still exercise leadership to ensure that his death sentence is commuted. Please urge him to demonstrate respect for fairness and justice by supporting clemency for Troy Davis.
Here's an intelligent half-hour episode of Compass, an Australian show discussing religion and related subject matters.
Well worth a watch for people with an open mind.
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is a small, free program that saved my shiny, new notebook's arse last night when other reputable anti-virus programs and online scanners failed dismally.

Categorian may not be fully functional yet, but it's showing promise. Here's what I look like on OverRun (Categorian) after a little bit of tinkering with the settings.
Motorist Robert Jones, 43, is on a careless driving charge because blind trust of his satnav left his BMW perched on the edge of a 35-metre cliff in Todmorden, Yorkshire. He was led up a steep, rocky and narrow footpath and stopped inches from the edge. Rescue services took nine hours to retrieve the car.
(Programming Sat Navs to direct all BMW drivers to drive off the nearest cliff, now there's an idea!)

To millions of devout Hindus, it's the real thing: a cola made from the urine of India's sacred cows. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, a leading Hindu cultural group, has developed Gau Jal or Cow Water, and hopes it will be marketed as a ``healthy'' alternative to Coke and Pepsi. (No bullshit, it's cow's piss)

A turkey has been spared ending up on the dinner plate this Christmas - because it's too ugly. Wilbur is underweight, has no tail feathers, a misshapen body and walks with a limp and is the only bird remaining at the pick-your-own turkey farm in Totnes, Devon.

The apes of wrath ... three monkeys turned on their trainer during a bike-riding performance in Suzhou, China, and beat him senseless. While one twisted his ears, another pulled his hair out and bit his neck. A third then beat him with his cane until it broke. Police are investigating cruelty claims.
"George Bush is over there in Baghdad saying goodbye to the troops, and this Iraqi journalist heaves a couple shoes at the President. And we thought, hopefully that's just a one-of-a-kind episode. Unfortunately, however, the news coming out of the Middle East is that Iran is developing a long-range loafer." --David Letterman
