Spiders are cool, bees are cool, but wasps? Fuck wasps. And doubly fuck wasps who build 22 foot long wasp nests. Twenty two feet of angry, stinging horror. That’s what happened in an abandoned house in the Canary Islands, where the former residents found that the place had been taken over by wasps. NUKE IT FROM SPACE.

On an unusually personal note

Posted: April 12, 2013 in News

I just want to say how unspekably proud I am of my sister.

Today, at Sydney University, she received the highest honor academia has to offer; and I just want to say, in front of all of you and god and everyone. Congratulations.

Today was one of the best days of my life. Thank you for taking us on this journey. I couldn’t possibly be more proud of you.

You’re an inspiration, and I love you.

And Eddy Vedder will be part of Pink Floyd

At tonight’s 12.12.12 Hurricane Sandy benefit concert in NYC, there will be lots of big names on hand to perform, including a couple combinations that could be very interesting to watch. Paul McCartney will be joining Krist Novaselic and Dave Grohl, essentially making McCartney the lead singer of a briefly re-formed Nirvana, and Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder will be teaming up with Roger Waters on some Dark Side of the Moon songs. Ow my head.

Wealthy Hong Kong businessman Cecil Chao, who is unmarried himself, has offered a $65 million bounty to any man who can woo and wed his lesbian daughter after he learned that his daughter Gigi had married her long-time female partner in Paris. told the BBC his daughter was still single and needed a “good husband”.
Same-sex unions are not recognised in Hong Kong, although homosexuality was decriminalised in 1991.
Gigi Chao, a businesswoman and graduate from the University of Manchester, is said to have married her female partner of seven years, Sean Eav, in a ceremony in France earlier this year.
But her flamboyant father rejected the claims as false, adding that his generous offer had already generated many replies from potential suitors.
“It is an inducement to attract someone who has the talent but not the capital to start his own business,” Mr Chao said.
“I don’t mind whether he is rich or poor. The important thing is that he is generous and kind-hearted.
“Gigi is a very good woman with both talents and looks. She is devoted to her parents, is generous and does volunteer work.”

Apple Vs Samsung. And the winner is..

Posted: August 25, 2012 in News

Bite the pillow Samsung.

Samsung found today that you don’t go head to head with most valuable company in the world. At the end of its long-running patent battle with Apple, a jury in California found Samsung guilty of willful copyright infringement and shoved a $1 billion fine straight up Samsung’s ass. Apple CEO Tim Cook, after his personal ball washers finished bathing his scrotum in the finest champagne, probably was all like “Don’t mess with the bull, you’re gonna get the horns.”
