Like a virgin

“Now my sister is thinking of becoming a virgin again for her 45th birthday to surprise her husband." More.

Time

A new series about time begins this evening on BBC4. Sounds interesting. Unless there is no such thing as time.

Can anyone spot the flaw in the theory?

Oh well, back to the text books

Death by a thousand cuts.

This article is just a reminder of the way the zionists are continuing the appropriation of Palestinian land.
I wonder if Steven Speilberg will make a film about it?

This week's TV

Champions League is back. So we can enjoy Arsenal v Real Madrid on Tuesday and have a snigger at Rangers on Wednesday. Two good movies - Chomskey's Manufacturing Consent tonight (ITV4) and Capturing the Friedmans (C4) on Thursday. The Mark Steel Lectures return on Thursday (BBC4) as does The Apprentice on Wednesday.

Ronaldinho video revealed

A famous Nike advert claims to show Ronaldinho's outstanding ball skills. But it looks like it was a fake.

Space travel

This article is very long but it goes into some detail on space travel and its difficulties. Kaku writes very clearly and although you don't have a clue about the physics you can follow his thoughts. There is a more interesting article on kurzweilai.net called parallel universes, the Matrix and superintelligence, which I had read before but I couldn't get the page to open. It includes a post from a person who claims to have come back from the dead! Makes some of the May 22 posts seem sensible in comparison.

I've read Kaku is to front a four part series on time on BBC 4 this February. He has already been on the BBC. He seems to be a very good communicator.
