can't help feeling a pinch of guilt although have been trying to convince myself that the workers are only working because the alternative is worse (+ all the free trade arguments)

and this doesn't help the slightest

Re The Pupil (Nerdy Alert)

2010-02-11T07:24:00.000+08:00

3:45 Dr Lee suffered, there is no denying that. According to his testimony and that of his doctors, he had neck pains, muscle spasms and headaches so severe that he was unable to perform his duties at work. But Dr Lee also testified that he engaged actively in judo, a contact sport that could also have resulted in the same long term injuries he described -neck pains, muscle spasms, severe headaches

(impassioned counsel)

4:35 Dr Lee claimed that the argument which led to the accident began because Mr Noor ignored his instructions to take a certain route to his destinations, but he cannot state for a fact that Mr Noor heard his instructions to begin with. And if Mr Noor had failed to hear these instructions, can he then be held responsible for ignoring them? Can this court establish for a fact, and (5:02) beyond reasonable doubt that Dr Lee's pain and suffering was a direct result of Mr Noor's negligence in carrying out his duty?

(Judge pretending to be listening but actually not)

What should have happened next, but did not:
Judge: The Counsel needs a quick revision. The standard of proof required in civil cases is the balance of probabilities, not beyond reasonable doubt, which is only needed in criminal cases.

Other than that, pretty enjoyable show. The pupil herself is quite cute, and is apparently only 2 degrees of separation from me teeheehee

Two men are hiking in a forest when they disturb a bear. It is the time of year when bears are easily upset and, true to form, the bear comes after them. The men run for their lives. They have a good start on the animal but four legs are better than two and the bear gets closer and closer. Suddenly one of the men stops, takes off his backpack and sits down on a log.

"What the hell are you doing?" his friend asks, not wanting to stop. He can see the bear's teeth bared.

"I'm changing my shoes," he replies calmly, removing his heavy hiking boots and slipping on a pair of fancy running shoes.

"You're crazy!" his friend shrieks, running to a spot behind a large tree. "You'll never outrun a bear, even in those."

"I don't have to outrun the bear," the man says, standing up and jogging alongside his friend. "I only have to outrun you."

Hugh Gallager's College Application Essay

2009-11-06T07:49:00.002+08:00

3A. ESSAY: IN ORDER FOR THE ADMISSIONS STAFF OF OUR COLLEGE TO GET TO KNOW YOU, THE APPLICANT, BETTER, WE ASK THAT YOU ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION:
ARE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCES YOU HAVE HAD, OR ACCOMPLISHMENTS YOU HAVE REALIZED, THAT HAVE HELPED TO DEFINE YOU AS A PERSON?

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.
I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat 400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.

But I have not yet gone to college.

The journey begins at Tintagel Castle, legendary birthplace of King Arthur,

where photoshop + a lousy camera helps disguise the thick fog and low visibility.

and then it's off to St Michael's Mount,

on a yellow brick road that only appears to the wise ones (who know when low tide is).

we then pay to enter a famous country house gardens famed for

beautiful flowers that only bloom in Spring.

As we trek on, dejected,

some of us more dejected than others,

we stumble upon the mythical Lost Gardens of Heligan

where Giants peeped out from the ground,

And all was good (:

Scousers - see here

I heard most of this on the train on the way back from Manchester:

"did you know during the snow days a couple of weeks ago, it was so cold that some scousers were spotted putting their hands in their own pockets for a change!"

"when you shake hands with a scouser you've got to count your fingers after that to make sure its all there"

I don't have any ironic comments/ lame jokes anymore,

and to top it off, I'm getting my laughs from my law Professor:

Whenever Lord Denning quotes Shakespeare or the Bible, it’s because he cannot find any earthly authority to support what he is doing.
In the Trendtex case on Sovereign immunity, after reviewing previous cases for 15 pages, all of which is against the judgement that he is going to give, he then says ‘that is the state of the cases, but as Shakespeare put it in Julius Caesar, “there is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune”. My Lords are we to miss that tide’.

USEFUL LESSONS THE OLYMPICS HAVE TAUGHT US ABOUT DATING

2008-09-11T23:27:00.000+08:00

Posted on Sunday, September 07, 2008
Topic: We, The Citizens So this year, the Olympics kind of coincided with National Day, whose big message this time to young people was: START DATING SO YOU CAN MAKE BABIES FOR THE COUNTRY! Well, we think that the Olympics just happens to hold very valuable lessons for those wanting to do that…USEFUL LESSONS THE OLYMPICS HAVE TAUGHT US ABOUT DATING

1. Make sure you verify the sex of the participants before the start of the event.

2. You prepare for the event for a very long time, but then it’s over in seconds.

3. Artistic expression is just as important as technical merit.

4. Shaving reduces friction.

5. No matter how fit you are or how cute you look, if part of your routine involves jumping about while twirling a ribbon, you still look very goondu.

6. Constant ‘live’ commentary can be very irritating.

7. It’s not a good sign if he’s using performance-enhancing drugs.

8. Try your best not to lose fluids too early.

9. Synchronizing is really hard work!

10. Watching at home and pretending to be an expert on the event is very sad.

11. Doubles are always more fun than singles.

12. Even if you don’t win, it’s kind of fun to have participated…

13. Handball is much more suitable as an individual sport than a team event.

14. Even if you score big time, some MP will come in and screw you over.

Hallelujah

2008-09-01T11:38:00.002+08:00

There was a man who had a horse who he had trained to respond to "Go" and "Stop". When he became a Christian, however, he decided he'd use Christian words to command the horse. So he trained the horse to start running at "Hallelujah" and stop at "Amen".

One day, as he was riding his horse, the horse started running toward cliff edge. As it bore down on the cliff, he kept shouting "Amen", "Amen", to no avail. Finally, at the last possible moment, a final, resounding "AMEN" brought the horse to a stop right at the edge of the cliff.

Relieved, he shouted "Hallelujah!"

Keynesian Economics

2008-06-07T17:30:00.001+08:00

If the Treasury were to fill old bottles with bank-notes, bury them at suitable depths in disused coal-mines which are then filled up to the surface with town rubbish, and leave it to private enterprise on well-tried principles of laissez-faire to dig the notes up again (the right to do so being obtained, of course, by tendering for leases of the note-bearing territory), there need be no more unemployment and, with the help of repercussions, the real income of the community, and its capital wealth, would probably become a good deal greater than it actually is.

It’s the one we’ve all been waiting for. Betting’s biggest football match ever, the first all-English final, the mission to Moscow when one team will be left tremblin’ in The Kremlin. It’s Manchester United v Chelsea in the Champions League Final.

And if that’s not enough well worn clichés for you Paddy Power are dusting off our famous Commentary Cliché betting for ITV’s big match coverage. Clive Tyldesley has been unable to stop saying “that night in Barcelona” for the last nine years and its 28/1 to be the first listed phrase we hear after kick off. Other tried and tested gems include “At the end of the day” at 20/1 and “He’s gone down a little easily there” at 40/1. Be sure to listen out for your favourite.

Question Of The Day: Will You Spend Your Tax Refund On Gadgets?

2008-05-18T21:47:00.000+08:00

The economy is going down the toilet, so you get to stick your hand in Uncle Sam's pockets to "stimulate growth."

America needs you to go out and spend, spend spend!

So the question is will you heed the call?

Will you be a patriotic consumer and rush out to buy a gadget you have your eyes on, will you piddle it away on a non-gadget related item, or will you save it like a wuss?

acg: but if you don't see them you can download them off the net also

Japanese Men Perfect the Cloak of Invisibility Much to Japanese Women's Dismay

2008-04-19T13:06:00.002+08:00

Japan's been tooling around with versions of invisibility cloaks for years now, but they seem to have finally perfected it. Theoretically. By using "left-handed metamaterials" to make electromagnetic control devices, researchers can generate lenses that either reflect no light or have a perfect focal point—the end result of which lets you create a perfect invisibility cloak to skulk around Tokyo with. If you're really interested in the physics of the situation, you can head over to Nikkeibp, but we're pretty sure the illustration above will explain the matter just fine. [Nikkeibp]

2008-04-08T22:47:00.002+08:00

I think for this to be funny you need to know context,

Lynn has a Nokia Navigator phone (the lousy one) and I've an N95 so we both have GPS. After telling me to repeatedly ignore my GPS's directions and/or my own sense of direction, we are sorta lost so she whips her phone out and turns it on so it gives directions in congruent with mine. Hers however, speaks in a guy's voice and mine in a girl's voice.

lynn: look they're like a couple
me: yeah hahaha only the girl got us lost so the guy needs to help

me: and the guy gives proper directions and the girl tells you to turn only when you're already turning hahahahaa
