    Lol I wouldn't give a toss about them. All Slayer songs are the same lol. And didn't you know Johan Hegg can't die? He tried it once, couldn't physically do it. True story.

    A new mobile phone tower went up in a town in the USA, and the local newspaper asked a number of people what they thought of it. Some said they noticed their cellphone reception was better. Some said they noticed the tower was affecting their health.

    A local administrator was asked to comment. He nodded sagely, and said simply: "Wow. And think about how much more pronounced these effects will be once the tower is actually operational."

In view of our divine essence, we need only liberty and work; in view of our mortal nature, we need for our direction a guide and a support. A government is not then, as a distinguished economist has said, a necessary ulcer; it is rather the beneficent motive power of all social organisation.

    The only two celebrities that I would legitimately cry over if they died are Clint Eastwood and Eric Clapton.
