Man hires hitman to kill his wife. Hitman wait in her house and attacks her with hammer. Wife strangles hitman and kills him.

As plans go, that one needed work....

Now I've seen some odd adverts over the years and although this is aimed at the French who may have slightly different tastes, it's still very strange. And oddly arousing.

And if you thought that video was a little unusual, check out some of the ones on this site. It's art darling.

Well it's time once again for my annual trip home to see the family. Highlights to look forward to this time - my mum's 70th birthday and finding out why my sister-in-law wants to give up a career in graphic design and become a lorry driver.

Tut tut, naughty Number 10 caught stealing website design. Now it may seem pretty trivial but if you follow the logic of the Knockoff Nigel campaign - where farting and blaming someone else, skipping a collection at work and not holding the lift doors open for someone rates on the same criminal scale as buying pirate DVDs or downloading movies - you'll see how serious it really is....

Anyone that was excited at the upcoming Watchmen movie is probably a little worried that Fox want to sto pit being released.

Seems unlikely they will, probably just acting tough before demanding a huge payoff. Why else wait to it was almost finished to find out how much hype it has and how good it looks before deciding to bring in the laywers.

Things like this go round once in a while but it is interesting to see how much trouble you can get in by posting a lot of personal info online.

Best way to save the planet - buy it?

Seen this before and wasn't sure if it was a good or bad idea. A good idea in the short term considering how long it takes the governments of most countries (especially the poor or corrupted ones) to achieve similar large protected areas. Long term - well I suppose we'll see at some point.

I used to like going to Italy. Not that I've been loads but it's probably the country I've visited more than any other on my travels. Sounds like things are going a bit silly with new laws, the army on the streets and dead children left lying on the beaches. Might wait a while before my next visit I think....

I've not linked to any of Weebls' stuff in ages so here is Electro Gypsy. Reminds me of the tunes you used to get on speccy games.

The origin of the word hysteria.

Well I thought it was interesting anyway, and not just because of the subject matter...

An interesting project on seawater farming. Actually, I find it quite fascinating with all the potential to create huge areas of green farmland from virtually dead dessert. It's hard to believe this guy has been plugging this for about 30 years and no one has been much interested.

I was a little disappointed over the weekend. Miss C woke up on Saturday morning having dreamt that Sheffield Wednesday had won their first game of the new season 4-0. Not one to doubt my girlfriends knowledge, I of course went home and placed a bet on that score. Ok it was only 50p but still a bet and one that stood to net me £33.

Final result was 4-1. I've told her that if she's going to have prophetic dreams, can they please be a little more accurate.

After all the protests a Kingsnorth this last week or so, I was interested to see this article from Arthur Scargill extolling coal fired power and how environmentally friendly it is. The article was in response to one George Monbiot made earlier and at the end of it he issued the following challenge.

"I challenge George Monbiot to test out which is the most dangerous fuel - coal or nuclear power. I am prepared to go into a room full of CO2 for two minutes, if he is prepared to go into a room full of radiation for two minutes."

See the classic mistake he made there? Yup, he forgot to properly define the rules of the challenge.

George Monbiot responded with some facts and figures to counter Arthur's claims but also

"I accept his challenge, as long as I can choose my source of radiation. I invite Arthur to propose a date and send me the name of his second. I hope he can hold his breath.

Reckon they'll let it go ahead cos I seriously doubt Scargill can hold his breathe for 2 minutes....
