Do you think there’s at least one scientist in the World waiting for the discovery of some disease that turns you all sorts of different colours…just so they can call it “Disco Fever”?

Am I Dannielynn’s Real Father?
It seems everyone else was hitting it, why not me? Sure, Larry Birkhead has been shown to be the father using a DNA test, but they had O.J. nailed with all kinds of DNA and didn’t manage to convict him.
Funniest Thing Ever
This is Emperor Palpatine getting the call from Darth Vader that the Death Star had been destroyed.
This is from a show in the USA called Robot Chicken.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The “I Have a Dream” speech is known by many for a couple of small pieces of it.
Witness here a man in his prime, delivering what is doubtless one of the greatest speeches of all time.
What troubles me the most about it is that this was in 1963…and more than 40 years on much of what he is railing against is still true.
I’m a Mac
My romance with the Apple Macintosh began many years ago. Around 1985, I think, when I first got my mitts onto a 512K Macintosh. We had one in our High School computer lab, and I was the only student in my class that was even allowed to use it. I was allowed to use it as I had mastered the Apple II’s we used otherwise, but the irony was that it was much easier to use than an Apple II…and that seemed – to my advantage – to be unknown to our Apple II toting teachers.
Though that Mac 512 had a small Black&White screen, it was far superior to anything else then available…at least outside NASA. The dot-matrix ImageWriter printer with it could produce the best text I’d yet seen, and in all manner of faces, sizes and styles. What you saw on the screen was exactly what would print, and though WYSIWYG as a term has now fallen from use as it’s everywhere, at the time it was absolutely revolutionary.
No War
I see that short phrase every day on the backpacks of schoolchildren, on stickers and placards and I’ve even seen it (with my own eyes) painted blood-red on the Sydney Opera House. No War.
But just like “Make Poverty History”, do the people wearing this slogan have any real idea what it would mean if we really and truly had No War?
