Ozzy has a crash

December 09th, 2003 | Category: Metal

Ozzy Osbourne is in hospital here in the UK recovering from a quad bike
accident on his Buckinghamshire estate. A spokesman last night said the singer’s injuries (he broke his collarbone, six ribs and a vertebra in his neck) were serious but not life threatening.

Osbourne’s US publicist told reporters: “Ozzy is currently undergoing emergency surgery to lift the collarbone which is believed to be resting on a major artery interrupting blood flow to his arm. Surgeons are also working to alleviate some bleeding into his lungs. These injuries are not considered to be life-threatening.”

Ozzy was taking a break from promoting the UK release of his new duet with
Kelly Osbourne when the accident occured. No word yet on how the injuries will affect Osbourne’s forthcoming promotional and touring schedule.

Colby on DHL

December 09th, 2003 | Category: ROPMA

It seems their motto is: delivery or death! Did those Islamokazis stop their deliveries to Baghdad? Well, yes, for a week. What do you bet their airplanes now are equipped with flares?

Always liked DHL; now I shall endeavor to use them as often as possible.

Dog gets VC

December 09th, 2003 | Category: UK Politics

Buster, an explosives sniffer dog has recieved the highest award for animal bravery. The award oddly is called People’s Dispensary for Sick Animal’s (PDSA) Dickin Medal. Sky has a nice piece on this story as well.

Can you imagine the intense anger the ROPMA terrorists who were nosed were feeling at the time? Muslims hate dogs, so you can imagine what they think of “occupation” dogs. It gives me great pleasure to see dogs routing the Islamokazis out of their nests.

Miscellania

Alas, the day’s ruminations have produced no coherent theme, so let us give gnotalex’s Big Box O’ Links a shake and see what tumbles out.

This looks like a parody, but the address of Georgetown Law School is for real, and so is the case, apparently. It’s about some dryasdust patent dispute, but note the names of the litigants. (Via Oxblog.)

Automation rides to the rescue of HTML illiterates such as myself. The Strange Banana will construct an endless series of webpages, suitable for blogs or what-have-you. If you don’t like the design, just reload the page and generate another.

Ever notice how cars in movies always burst into flames the instant they collide with anything? Our favorite is when a car falling from a high place explodes the instant before it hits the ground. It’s as though its gas tank gets panicky and detonates at the mere thought of striking Earth. Fortunately, the physics are not so cooperative.

From the Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics website, which explains in layman’s language why a lot of Hollywood’s most beloved conventions just don’t translate to real life.

Ya think? Informative and entertaining.
