As everyone knows, there has been a lack of effective body armor in the War on Terrorism. As a result, many soldiers in Iraq/Afganistan are buying better commercially available armor such as Dragon Skin. Welp, that doesn't help the company that has the Army contract (and makes a profit selling the shitty armor) so they put pressure on the Pentagon. Now, if a soldier wears non-standard body armor and is KIA, their family may lose the $400,000 death benefit.



If this topic interests you in ANY way, you definately want to see the movie "The Pentagon Wars". A wonderful indictment of how the Army does business. (Navy pride showing)

Finally conclusive proof that scientists have no idea what BEAUTIFUL means.

These pics were taken at 1/1,000,000th of a second after the blast. Really cool.

Cat can't tell the difference between HDTV and reality (similar to many computer geeks).

The New York Times is generally held in high esteem as the pinnacle of true journalism. Unfortunately, here is a case in which the zeal to put a bad face on the War on Terrorism resulted in an outright lie.



The quick version is that they posted a story about an American missle strike and put the above photo implying that the thing pictured there (actually an unused artillery shell) destroyed the house and as a result, their lives.

Bowling Nite from a few weekends ago...
Drinkers with a drinking problem (no ice in the Mojito)
Karaoke updates from the Gypsy Saloon - the bar 2 doors down from our house
Gianmarc playing at CBGB's - I found a new shooting technique(just leveled up)

So there we were...5 drunk guys leaving the Wach looking for more adventures. Jeremy was driving...



Frank - Let's go to Pat's
Eric - ...
Jeremy - Ehh...it's not a Pat's nite.
Frank - Awww...Come on
Jeremy - It's only 10:30
Eric - Yeah, we can still go to a "good" steak place
Frank - But I haven't had a Pat's Steak in months!
Paul - That's probably good for your heart, Frank

A car thief stole a car with a baby in it. The car ALSO had the GPS enabled sprint phone which allowed sprint to locate the car within minutes. Unfortunately, they wouldn't tell them where their baby was unless they paid the $25 fee.

A video game nut went to Japan to see the inspiration for the game "Project Gotham 3". Pretty impressive shit.

No news on when they will make pigs fly(LOTS of things are riding on THAT innovation).
