Raising kids
I totally agree with this Scientific American article. Parents who keep harping on how special their kids are almost always end up raising obnoxious kids.
Scholars
You just can't trust them. Looks like the National Geographic has been taking... liberties... with their scholars' translation of the so-called Gospel of Judas. Tut-tut. [wags finger]
Several of the translation choices made by the society’s scholars fall
well outside the commonly accepted practices in the field. For example,
in one instance the National Geographic transcription refers to Judas
as a “daimon,” which the society’s experts have translated as “spirit.”
Actually, the universally accepted word for “spirit” is “pneuma ” — in
Gnostic literature “daimon” is always taken to mean “demon.”
Stay together and save the planet...
... or in other words, HAHAHAHAHA!!!
And in the You Just Can't Win department, banning smoking in pubs and restaurants will one day kill us all.
Scientists have quantified for the first time the extent to which divorce damages the environment. The researchers found that the combined use of electricity across the two new households created rose 53% while water use was up by 42%.This is serious research, folks.
And in the You Just Can't Win department, banning smoking in pubs and restaurants will one day kill us all.
Pubs are likely to pump hundreds of thousands of tons
of additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as a result of the
smoking ban.Policy advisers predict that
emissions from patio heaters in pubs and restaurants will increase from
22,200 tons of greenhouse gases a year to up to 282,000 tons - the
equivalent of flying a jumbo jet 171 times around the Earth.
your ass is theirs
that's it ... Jack Bauer- and Sam Fisher-types will kidnap you in the dead of night, even if you're vacationing in Phuket or sleeping in Puerto Galera, if you are wanted for crimes in the U.S. i don't think they limit their scope to Brits.
