Ebola outbreak A new Ebola outbreak in Congo has claimed the lives of 11 people so far. The region, in the north west of the country, is put under close surveillance. Last year more than a hundred people died from an Ebola outbreak. If there is one disease that really scares me, Ebola is it. 2:41:12 PM    comment []  trackback []

The mother of all flames There is something odd about a dedicated Windows hater using Outlook Express, but you can't fault this guy for his vocabulary. As something of a connoisseur in insults myself, I have to say that this was a brilliant and totally destructive flame. 10:52:32 AM    comment []  trackback []

Why can't a superman get laid? Larry Niven's classic article Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex is online! It's a wonderful, hilarious discussion of the problems Superman would have with his sex life. I mean, obviously intercourse would gut a normal woman... Not a nice thought. 7:05:39 AM    comment []  trackback []

Two Black Hawks crash in northern Iraq It is still not clear what happened when two Black Hawk helicopters from 101st Airborne Division crashed over Mosul, killing at least seventeen soldiers. Eyewitnesses reported that one of the helicopters had taken a hit from the ground, and either it spun out of control upwards, or it tried to evade the fire when it crashed into a second helicopter above it sending both crashing down. 3:40:51 AM    comment []  trackback []
