MyDeathspace.com is dead to us UAE Netizens

Ok - this must be the macaberest cut of all.

7Days, a local free newspaper (actually the best newspaper around), has an article about Myspace.com newest drive to have a site where deceased MySpace members pages can be stored. An epitaph, resting space of bloggers. (Is it just me or are we getting really weird - this is the net - not real life!!!)

Anyway - blessed with a macabre sense of curiosity I tried to sign on to MyDeathspace.com and guess what - IT IS BLOCKER by the proxy server! I really had to laugh - MySpace is open, MyDeathSpace is closed!

Never a dull moment!!

Ever wondered how many countries you have visited?

I you have ever wondered how many countries you have visited - this is an easy way of showing it in picture form.

I am at 36 countries (making up 31% of the worlds surface), most of them more than one time - unreal how much time I must have waited in airports, spent in planes and had my total freedom dependent on some suspicious customs officials decisions. I actually can not remember most of it - must be my psychological self defence mechanism kick in to spare me from all that trauma.

Let me also use this opportunity to thank the rebels, freedom fighters, terrorists, religious bigots and everyone else with an ax to grind and who has in their own idiotic way added to the pain of passing through airports. A heartfelt - thank you, I really enjoy been delayed, body searched, my luggage and dirty laundry unpacked at airports for everyone to see and been treated like scum by airport officials the world over. Again - thank you!!! I hope next time the disruption you are planning to deliver as your final fart against the world goes of in your own face.

Looking at the map - I really need to get to Russia (Is it called Russia these days?) and China - that should just about allow me to cover the largest part of the world - with a quick skip into Canada.

Will It Blend? - iPhone

Ok - some of the stuff on UTube is informative, some is entertaining but some is just stupid.

You pick which type "Will it Blend?" actually is. Some blender!!! BlendTec

Japanese fun ??? WTF on YouTube

Just when you think the West as a society has reached an all time low with its reality shows you see something like this where we are definitely outdone by of all people the oh so prim and proper Japanese ... not for squeamish people!!



Hope he won a prize!!!!

Now the next one is funny - but I see plenty of chance for major mishaps which could get you seriously sued!!

Time to go blogging ... again!

Just to test if the blogger thing still works and to test some of the Picasaweb functionality - photo of my cat after we picked him up in the street - genuine Persian but has fallen victim to the Not a cute kitty anymore - therefore out the door!
