CBC News: Canadian bomb blast victims mourned

MSN Messenger is an instant messaging program that lets you send instant messages with cool emoticons, send pictures and other files to your friends, call a phone anywhere in the world from your computer, see when someone is typing a message to you, page a contact’s mobile phone, and much more. The latest version allows for a little more customization than previous versions including an icon or picture of yourself. Also, MSN Messenger 6 offers a webcam chat feature (if you have a webcam). Anyway, I love this program and use it every day. It’s probably the easiest way to get in touch with me. My MSN Messenger address is: bubzombie@hotmail.com

What a nice wedding photo and a pleasant story. I can’t believe she’s only 18; more like 40. She looks like she’s been dragged around the block a few times.

Thanks to Kat T for the link.

This simulation shows how long a fullscale zombie infection would take in a specific area. Rarrrrrr! Brains!

This is happier. Check out Peeing Mexicans.

Here’s a disclaimer from the site:

“These wonderful drawings, by any means, are not discrimating against Mexicans. I do not hate Mexicans, friends of Mexicans, lovers of Mexicans, relatives of Mexicans, people who know a Mexican, people who know people who know a Mexican, or Taco Bell. If you take offense, then I am sorry. I love our friendly fast speaking neighbors.”

Bomb at U.N.’s Iraq HQ kills 15. Is there any happy news today?

Also included in the latest email from Zimbabwe was the shocking story of Simon S. Rather than me summarize I thought it best to let you read the entire thing in his words. It’s rather long but worth the read if you have the time. Here’s what he wrote:

I am an MDC activist and a Zimbabwean Patriot who is committed to bringing about true democracy in our country.

In early November 2001, I had just returned by car from a trip to Masvingo to meet secretly with other activists in the area in preparation for the upcoming Presidential Elections.

At 0830 hours, Monday 12th November 2001, 3 plain – clothes gentlemen arrived at the office and asked if I could accompany them to Central Police Station to answer some questions. I asked them to produce their identity and noted that they came from the notorious Law and Order Section of the ZRP, whose specific responsibility it was to use muscle in all its forms to enforce both the archaic laws of the past and those more recently introduced, in the course of the subversion of Justice. I knew at this time that, what I had psychologically prepared for, and hoped would not come to pass, had happened. I managed to quickly pass word to my assistant to urgently inform the shadow Justice Minister for whom I work, of my predicament. I knew that I would soon be focusing on mustering all the strength and discipline that I would need to face what was in store for me. My time had finally arrived.

Carol’s family have been to Zimbabwe and maintain contact with the family who hosted them on their safaris. They are not having a good time under the tyrannical reign of President Mugabe. They send news out via email once in a while just to let friends know whether they are okay (or not). A link they sent today was to ZWNEWS Especially interesting was this story about how Zimbabwe has empowered police to strip-search people for cash.

It’s amazing that these kinds of government still exist. I though Mussolini and Hitler were dead.
