The
editor(s) of ClayInfinity will be away on holidays until 1
October. In the interim I leave you with the following
quote credited to a work colleague of mine:
War
is Gods way of teaching Americans about Geography...
It's
worth thinking about...

Sunday
night... another weekend over... I must admit, I have
been a bit distracted this weekend by sport. Firstly, my
own cricket
team got a win in the first game of the season and
secondly, I spent most of my free time watching NRL
playoffs...
One
thing though that horrified me this week is the tragedy that occurred
in Sydney this week in which a man stabbed his own children
(aged 4 and 1), his father-in-law and himself to death.
All in front of the mother of the children. The absolute
senselessness of it amazes me and I still get shivers every time
I read an article or it's mentioned on TV. At least the
guy is dead, but geez... [article]

Here
it is! The definitive article about why Johnny "Man of
Steel" Howard and his government are a disgrace and why,
despite his unpopularity, Simon Crean - anybody - should be
elected in the next election (which appears to be anytime
between tomorrow and December 2004). [article]
Whilst
on Our Johnny, I came across this study that blames Howard's
lack of "sexuality" (amongst other things) is
driving people insane... I don't know if this is a real McCoy
article or not, but the pictures at least make for a laugh! [truth]
And
we were impressed with Osama Bin Laden releasing his latest
video clip on the eve of September 11... but was it him?
Here's the proof... [link]

Seems
to be a big push for NSW Premier Bob Carr to leave the state
political scene and take over the Federal Labor leadership
from the inept Simon Crean... personally I couldn't agree
more... but why would Bob Carr leave a position of strength
and power where he has the whip hand, to be the whipping boy
for at least the next 7 years in Canberra? [forum]
The
inquiry into the "suicide" of Dr David Kelly, the
person who was about to spill the beans on the Blair Govt's
lack of evidence against Iraq has been set up. This link
is very thorough, and if you're interested in the subject
there is a ton of info here. [link]
My
local cricket team kicked off it's season yesterday... Read
about the action here: [link]
And
my Blood Bowl teams have had an unfortunate run lately...

Pac-Man affected us as

Mr Wilson was a true prophet after all...

Well,
September 11 is fast approaching and it is hard to believe
that it's going to be 2 years since that fateful day in New
York... the world hasn't, nor will be, the same again.
As a bit of a conspiracy theorist, it's this time of year that
a lot of things come out in the press regarding Sept 11.
I thought today I may provide some links to some stories (some
new, some old) that talk about Sept 11 and what really or
perhaps happened...
-
Was
the Pentagon struck by a Boeing, or was it a bomb... [link]
-
A
page on the Top 10 Conspiracy Theories of 2002... [link]
-
Was
there a massive amount of gold under the WTC? [link]
-
A
bizarre site saying that UFO's were sighted on 11 Sept...
[link]
I'll
add more sites as I come across them - there are sure to be
plenty
Whilst
on conspiracies, have you ever wondered if the world of the
"Matrix" (you know, the whole world is an illusion /
computer programme...) was closer to the truth than
fiction? Well check out these short stories / comics
based on the world of the "Matrix"... [link]
And
on the Australian political front - nuthin'!

Why
haven't I been ranting on about Johnny Howard lately? Is
it because I feel as though I am the only one who gives a
stuff? I can't believe this, but here's my
"rant" on why I can't bring myself to
"rant".... I think its weird too, don't worry... [rant]
New
link... a new humour site, not G rated though... [link]
In
my gaming news, my Blood Bowl
league team lost its first match... [report]
And
hasn't this Australian Idol concept taken off.... for all the
hype, I think this reality show has "Jumped
The Shark" already... watching blubbering fat blokes
is not what I call entertainment...

September
already. The scary thing is that I have heard the word
"Christmas" used frequently already and that people
are beginning to gear up for it. I can't believe its
that time of year already... I've been asked what do my kids
want for Christmas this year and a friend this weekend asked
if we going to put Christmas lights up like my neighbours...
(in a word "No!" - we're not the Griswalds!)
Let me know the first time you see Xmas decorations in the
shops... shouldn't be too far now... and I'll send you a
prize...
(If
you're wondering were all the content from pre September is...
its in the archive already...)
Pauline
Hanson remains in jail after being refused bail. Good on the
judge for that decision! I know I'm in a minority, but I
think that sometimes the ends justify the means and in this
case, it's justified. [article]
Saw
the kids flick "Finding
Nemo" this weekend. I highly recommend
it. If you've got little kids like me, it's really
good. The kid sitting in front of me actually screamed
at one bit... classic!
Also,
I've noticed advertising at the bottom of my pages has crept
in. Must be the people of Tripod
(my gracious hosts) trying to earn some revenue... don't click
people...
