On Satanism, Swords and Slipknot
The country has been going on the last two days about an 18 year old boy who killed another boy at school with a sword, and then attacked two gardeners. The original reports described the boy as being dressed in a balaclava, with his face smeared in black paint. Details emerged later in the day about how the boy blamed Satan for his actions, and was dressed like the drummer in a band called Slipknot. He was also high on drugs at the time.
Vote PC Mall for good service
Last Tuesday, I bought a Linksys AM200 ADSL modem from PC Mall. On Thursday, I dropped them an email asking when I could expect delivery.

So I contacted a friend and acquired a borrowed unit to sync my line on Thursday evening.

Too quiet …
That's me, too quiet … on the issue of Jon Qwelane's article this last Sunday equating homosexuality with bestiality. He must be fired by his newspaper, fined by the Human Rights Commission, and banned from writing in public media. He is no better than the Mugabe he praises, or Hitler before him.

The effects of drugs
In the interests of public health and safety, I have reproduced an article from Health 24 in its entirety.
Billion dollar cabbage
My great aunt, who is a resident of Harare, Zimbabwe, went shopping this week. She bought a cabbage and a gem squash, and some meat. The expedition cost Z$1 billion. And now, because of the escalating violence, she has an armed escort and 24-hour security where she lives.
“Keep your laughter down to 30 or 40 decibels”
That's what the GM said to me as he asked for help.
Good bye, George Carlin
The legend that was George Carlin died on Sunday evening, Santa Monica time.
