I bet you a thousand million kajillion bazillion pounds that I know of a wooden mirror which you can see your reflection in.

Think you've just found the easiest way to become a millionaire? Think again.

I win! yay :P

Sad, isn't it... This animation - http://www.drparsons.fsnet.co.uk/georg.html - represents my entire opinion of the US' government and its leader, even though I didn't make it.

It seems that there are other intelligent people out there apart from me.

I downloaded the speeh by Robert F. Kennedy announcing Martin Luther King's death the other day - for no reason other than I typed in "LK" to get a song and that popped up. I was curious.

This spurred me on into finding out more about MLK, and I turned up this Letter From A Birmingham Jail (Birmingham USA, not UK). Makes for interesting reading... Why public disorder is necessary for social progression.

Hmm... dontcha just hate Internet Censorship. Well, I hope that the materials on here (http://www.bureaucrash.com/directorybycategory/homepages/T12.0/) can inform everyone and help stop it... The Internet's supposed to be free to everyone.

Hacktivism... Ever heard of that? No, neither had I - until I signed up for Bureaucrash... Here's a nice interesting site. http://www.thehacktivist.com

And I still haven't slept. That's about 35 hours now. :D

I checked out my blog page to make sure that last comment updated ok, and in the Random Quote bit there was just blank space. Guess who left a blank entry in the .js file :S

I think Ima do a ramble now, 'cause I've never done one for my blog before - and other people seem to do at least 20 minutes' worth of rambling for every entry they make. :|

Here goes. Bear with me now...

Life is good. I've just finished my GCSE examinations - my General Certificates for Secondary Education. In other words, some of the most important exams I'll ever do in my life, except for A Levels (Sixth Form) and my Degree (University). Thing is, when you're employed by any self-respecting company they still check out what GCSEs you got - or didn't get as the case may be.

I've had to endure, I mean take, the following GCSEs...

   • English (English Literature and English Language - 2 exams there)
   • French (4 exams - Reading, Speaking, Listening and Writing - but I enjoyed those)
   • Spanish (same format as French, enjoyed those a little less but useful nonetheless as now I can order nine beers in Spanish. Essential education.)
   • I.T. - or Information Technology (Computers) - my favourite subject. Just a shame the coursework sucks - and it's 60% of the overall mark :|
   • Religious Education - MAN these exams suck - all 2 of them! GOD I hate religion, Christianity sucks! (no offence meant to any religious person)
   • Music (consisting of an exam in two parts and lots of coursework, but I enjoyed this again)
   • Physics (just one exam here)
   • Technology - I chose the Graphic Design component. I'm very "on the fence" about this one - I disliked and enjoyed the course in equal parts.
   • Maths! Aha! How could I forget these two exams - fun fun fun all the way. I wish. Two exams - calculator and non-calculator. Both I hated.

I think that's all of the exams... I can never remember them all, due to me being in a perpetual state of malaise at the whole GCSE-examination-thingy process.

But now I have about 3 months holiday - wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh...My...God (Janice-style) - holiday rules!

Now all I have to do is my AS Levels. Ah crap. (Homer-style.)

Enjoy this ramble? Send me some Comments using that little linky thing that says "Comments" just below. Come on people - most of them show 0 - I need some entertainment for when I'm awake at half past 3 in the morning (like I am now :) and I have nothing to read! Come ONNNNNNN people...

Jeez, what do I pay you Internet surfers for...

Yes. Yes, Yes Again.

I love a nice bit of eye candy now and then, and this is eye candy with sugar sprinkles. My only gripe is that it takes a year and a day to load over my modem - but once it's loaded it's cached so I just browse the site twice, once to load all the parts and twice to properly appreciate it.

Those on cable modems / DSL shouldn't worry, the site'll load almost instantaneously. Bastards. :P

Oh, sorry - did I forget the link? NO! How dare you imply that I forget something! :) http://www.whoswe.com

Now, where did my bottle of Budweiser go... Bah, lost it again.

Hurrah!

I went on AmIGoingDown.com and it calculated that I have something like 1 in 6,458,350 chance of surviving the plane trip I take every year to go on holiday. Hurrah! (That's London Stanstead to France-Unlisted (I fly to Béziers Airport - it's no bigger than a Bus Station but Go and Ryanair fly there and it's dirt cheap))... Hehehehe.

I did originally copy and paste the results code but their server blocks remote requests, and I'm downloading now so any web page takes all year to reload to do the test again. CURSE NEEDLEBAND!

This uplifting statistic was obtained from www.amigoingdown.com. Surprisingly non-pornographic! ;)

ANARCHY in the British Big Brother House! Everyone's just gone "like, fuck the producers, we're going to enjoy ourselves" - they've been separated into rich and poor with perspex bars separating the housemates. They weren't told about this, and it looks like it pushed them over the edge - Sandy's leaving (the Scottish Personal Shopper, people at school say I have hair like him hehehe) and everyone else is just celebrating. Quite amusing really... lolol :)

Looks like ten new housemates are coming in... Nearly all of them want to leave too. One new person's already arrived, and another's coming for sure to replace Sandy... But how many other people are going to leave? This could be an interesting year. ;)
