Who Else Is Scared?

Monday, May 27, 2002

Pakistan tests another nukeEvery day it seems, India and Pakistan are getting closer to a full-fledged war. The really, really frightening part is that both countries possess enough nuclear weapons to kill millions of people. And those on both sides of the conflict don't seem to be concerned about nukes at all.

A colonel with the Indian army was quoted in Telegraph.co.uk as saying: "We were down in Gujarat after the earthquake. Nuclear war can't be worse than an earthquake."

According to the University of Illinois (as reported on Independent.co.uk), a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan would result in 17 million deaths in Pakistan, and 30 to 35 million in India. The impact on the rest of the world is "the stuff of nightmares".

I've been following the daily events on Anti-War, an excellent site that actually makes your paranoid delusions even more paranoid and delusional.

If a nuclear war between India and Pakistan does occur, I'm thinking it's going to open the floodgate for other smaller countries that have nuclear weapons. And the fallout will affect us all.

An added note: Who stands to gain from an India/Pakistan war? Why, The Carlyle Group. Who is a Senior Advisor to this company? None other than George Bush Sr. Read more on Propaganda Matrix.

On The Road Again

Thursday, May 16, 2002

The Leafs continue their road trip against Carolina in Game Two on Sunday. They beat The Hurricanes 2-1 in Game One (yay!) tonight. Sean was basically told to hit the road on Survivor tonight and was voted out. And I've got a road trip of my own yet again, tomorrow. I feel happy and sad at the same time, which kinda sucks.

I've been in Wisconsin for a couple of days and it never seems long enough. When I arrive, it feels like I never left and when I step into my car tomorrow morning, it'll seem like I was never here. No more Kwik Trip, no more Piggly Wiggly (the name of that store still makes me giggle) and no more Eigh, at least for another month or two.

I leave Wisconsin with a crystal ball (Eigh bought it for me for my birthday), a cheesehead (which his parents got me) and two new pairs of shoes, which I bought as a gift to myself. I had a great time as usual but it always has to end. I'm back on the road to Canada again tomorrow for the May 2-4 weekend.

Geez, Tolkien only wrote the book fifty years ago...

Is this a hoax or an example of political correctness gone crazy? The "Rename The Two Towers to Something Less Offensive Petition":

To: Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema
Those of us who have seen The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring know what an amazing director Peter Jackson is. When I learned that there apparently was to be a sequel, I was overjoyed. However, Peter Jackson has decided to tastelessly name the sequel "The Two Towers". The title is clearly meant to refer to the attacks on the World Trade Center. In this post-September 11 world, it is unforgiveable that this should be allowed to happen. The idea is both offensive and morally repugnant. Hopefully, when Peter Jackson and, more importantly, New Line Cinema see the number of signatures on this petition, the title will be changed to something a little more sensitive.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

What Would Gandalf Do? At least the people at PetitionOnline.com have the brains to point out that the JRR Tolkien book, The Two Towers, the second book of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, was originally published in 1954. Still, a lot of people fell for it. Whether the original intent of the petition is sincere or not, some of the signatures are good for a laugh.

Signature 1084. matt beggs:
THOSE INSENSITIVE BASTERDS. THE ATTACKS ON SEPTEMBER 11 HAVE AFFECTED ME VERY DEEPLY. IF THIS ASS HOLE IS ALLOWED TO KEEP THIS TITLE, I WILL KILL MYSELF. JESUS CHRIST, I STILL CANT LOOK AT THE NUMBER 11 WITH OUT CRYING. SEE, I'M CRYING RIGHT NOW. I'M ALSO TO AFRAID TO CALL THE POLICE. THEIR NUMBER (WHICH I WILL NAME XXX FOR NOW) SCARES ME, IF I WAS IN AN EMERGANCY, I WOULD NOT DIAL XXX FOR FEAR OF FARTHER RETALIATION FROM THOSE SCARY TERRORISTS. PLEASE TAKE THESE CORPORATE BASTERDS DOWN FOR EXPLOITING THE STILL OPEN WOUNDS OF PATRIOTIC AMERICANS EVERYWHERE. LONG LIVE THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, WHICH I LIVE, AND WOULD DIE FOR. AMERICA!!!! w00t! ps. please save my internet access :D

1311. Madula Oblongata:
In respect for 9/11 all buildings that stand beside each other must be destroyed! Soon we shall live only on the ground and destroy the earth in the meantime. For 9/11!

2264. Michael Flatley:
Yes! I suggest it be renamed to 'Lord of the Dance'

1303. Kevin Turvey:
My brothers are twins and quite short, as a kind of joke/play on words we (the family and a couple of friends) used to call them 'the Towering Twins', as a mark of respect we no longer refer to them as that, we have been forced to call them Osama and Omar. Which is their names.

1298. Rob Hapgood:
I have to punish myself each time I get an erection as my proud phallus reminds me of Tower One

1291. Mr Stoat:
PLEASE NOTE: We have just sent a time-traveller back to 1954. By the time you read this, the second book will have been instead published under the title "Another tedious pile of crap". This petition will soon disappear in a puff of temporal logic.

1290. Nigel Morris:
I already boycotted The Lord of the Rings because of its obvious reference to hard, thrusting, dirty anal sex. And rings.

2833. NobblyJobbly:
I agree it should be renamed to Towering Inferno

818. C. Hart:
I think it would be best, in light of recent events, if the film was simply not shown at all. And by "recent events" I mean "that fucking awful first Lord of the Rings film."

Spider-man, Spider-man
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size
Catches thieves, just like flies
Look out! Here comes the Spider-man!

Is he strong? Listen, Bud!
He's got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread?
Take a look overhead.
Hey there, there goes the Spider-man!

In the chill of night,
At the scene of the crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time

Spider-man, Spider-man
Friendly neighborhood Spider-man
Wealth and fame, he's ignored
Action is his reward

To him, life is a great big bang-up
Wherever there's a hang-up
You'll find the Spider-man!
