Carousel! 2-8-2008

It's carousel friday! And that means randomness to keep you busy (whether you're at work or not) So let's begin:

* Still haven’t decided where to go on vacation this year? Here’s an option you probably haven’t considered: the moon. No, seriously. Vienna-based Space Adventures is offering the first private expedition to the big cheese for a mere $100 million (yeah, that money was really starting to burn a hole in your pocket).
After six months of cosmonaut training in Russia, you’ll blast off from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan aboard a three-person Soyuz rocket ship. Three and a half days of spaceflight later, you’ll marvel at the moon’s giant craters and mountain ranges for three to four hours — before Mama Earth’s gravity pulls you away. Added bonus: You’ll get bragging rights unique to only a few people in history. Which you probably don’t need, considering you’ve got that much money in the first place.

* People may find some new things in their Valentine’s Day chocolate.

* Government officials claim that laptops and cell phones are no different from briefcases, and so they have equal rights to search all of them

* Cops arrest aggressive panhandlers; judges immediately free them because intimidating people into giving is “freedom of speech”

* New York’s biggest mafia round up in 20 yrs as feds arrest entire hierarchy of the Gambino crime family

* Swedish man attacked with a can of fermented fish

* Israeli air force pilots to be issued
Viagra to assist with stick control and discharge of payload

* Pot and Booze, the best things to add to your 11-year-old’s birthday party….dumbass

* In case you were wondering if he was still crazy, I present to you the archbishop of Canterbury

* WHAT? A 34 year old sex offender gets his jail time cut in half because judges says there was real love

* Feuding Scottish families take to the streets to battle with swords, baseball bats and golf clubs…

* These retro like laces take me back to an era of roller skates, 'Don't have a cow man', and world where Joey's ' How you doing', was still a novelty. Sadly those days have passed but you can hark back to the past with these rave like trainer laces. Made of fibre optics you thread them into your shoes, press a button and off they glow. They're weatherproof, water proof, washable and heat resistant, so they'll work well as you mosh your way through a night at 80's turntables. Glow sticks at the ready, get set and go/glow.
* Oh tank girl, what happened to you? Tank Girl now has a new look. I like the look of the new Tank Girl drawings. However, the old-school, combat-boot-wearing, band-aid-covered, baseball-bat-wielding, kinda dikey, Tank Girl of yore will always hold a very dear place in my heart. I’ll come out and say it: I love Ashley Wood’s amazing drawing style, but the new Tank Girl look doesn’t really do it for me. Maybe I’m being way too nostalgic.


This is the tank girl that I know and first fell in love with
The New modern Look
* And because I still love it! Hello Cluthulu
And Drumroll please! He's back!




And that's it my friends. Perhaps a Mini? You should check in.
