In Old Irish
Anál nathrach, orth’ bháis’s bethad, do chél dénmha

In Modern Irish:
Anáil nathrach, ortha bháis is beatha, do chéal déanaimh

In English:
Serpent's breath, charm of death and life, thy omen of making.

I might have just told the maid to vacuum the cats.

I'll find out soon.

"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you and to hear the lamentation of the women." I still love this movie and you can still find it at your local video store. Let me know your thoughts and ramblings.

What this world is missing are good old fashioned Space combat simulators. I remember the glory days of Wing Commander, X-wing vs. Tie Fighter, Tachyon. If anyone can think of others please let me know. Thanks.

No, no. Not pizza AND beer. Pizza beer. The Onion AV Club reviewed it.

On one hand, I don't think anyone at Ottrocities would voluntarily have ads on here for McCain or Ann Coulter. On the other hand, Ann Coulter is definitely Something Wrong in the World.

I just feel like complaining today.

For those who haven't seen it yet, there is a review here that shows the canned cheeseburger in all it's reheated and eaten glory. I think the guy's faces that he makes are really excellent, but I think he's mostly just playing.

It does look a little.... wet.

Baby head-butts to the nose are very painful. Baby teeth are sharp as knives and baby kicks to the groin are very painful. You gotta love parenthood.

I've just read this article about a museum in Sao Paulo was robbed of two paintings, one of which was a Picasso of estimated worth $50M. During the brouhaha, it was revealed that, at the time of the robbery, there was no active surveillance (security guard), the cameras didn't get a good picture (no infrared), and this might be the kicker.... there's no insurance on the collection.

I'm not a huge fan of insurance, I find it to be akin to blackmail in many cases. It's protection money. Yes, sometimes, it's good to have it. Most of the time.... However, and this is a big however, I don't have a multi-million dollar collection of fine art.

(which is why it's in my blog, instead of as a story...)

NAIROBI (Reuters) - A new species of giant spitting cobra, measuring nearly nine feet and possessing enough venom to kill at least 15 people, has been discovered in Kenya, a conservation group said on Friday.

Wired has written up a top-10 of modern snake oil preparations, products that purport to give the purchaser improved health and well-being, but which apparently do nothing at all, unless you were suffering from an unbearably heavy load of cash in your pocket.

My favorite is the 2', AU$300 extension cord.
