regarding this post
It's crazy how I agree totally and yet have such a different opinion
I think those of us in developed countries are told we live in the most freedom-filled time in the history of the world and if you measure freedom by least deaths, longer lives, little to no opressive rulers, and great food water and often great jobs for all of us i agree... but I think we trap ourselves in other ways whitch was kinda what this was about in my mind.

People in Germany, as in most of the western industrialized countries, today spend little more than ten percent of their lifetime at work.

According to figures published by EUROSTAT, in 1999 there were 162 million working citizens in the European Union. The employment rate was 72% for men and 53% for women among the population aged 15-64 years. The EU full-time employee works a total of 40 hours per week. Allowing for 7 hours of sleep a night, these individuals are spending a third of their lifetime at work.

U.S. men spend 65% of their lifetime at work

The average person spends about 35 percent of their lifetime asleep

recently Many of you probably read a fun little bit of half true conspiracy theory that contained the following

"The most recognised symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is
the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic
holy book:

"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.
The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo,
while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for
the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was
peace."

That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran."

it's so weird to see this crap because to me it's rediculous. i don't even know where anyone could come up with it other than their deluded mind. so if you send the other post send this with it.

There is no "Eagle" mentioned ever in the Koran/Quran nor are any "sons of arabia"

The Immunity[secton 9] line 11 reads:
[9.11] But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, they are your brethren in faith; and We make the communications clear for a people who know.

this is from University of Michigan Networked Electronic Resources at http://www.hti.umich.edu/cgi/k/koran/koran-idx?type=DIV0&byte=282392

you can search it at http://www.hti.umich.edu/k/koran/

woah check that out "We make the communications clear for a people who know." cool
later

and now a moment for some links for the bored...

in response to one lawschoolblues

can US block an IP address from the whole country?
if I may quote davmoo(my hero this hour for stating this to perfection)
Theoretically in answer to your question, yes. In actuality, it would never work.
now supposing that it did the reverse is also a problem.
the us sets up an ip block for registered casinos and i dont want to register my ofshore casino with them but i want my ip address to appear as though it is within a given range(Active spoofing)

could all ISP's cut off a particular IP address?

Oh where are my physics friends when i need them most. They(you) have failed me ya'll knew how much i liked the implications of the Double-slit experiment and noone told me about Prof Shahriar S. Afshar's single photon experiment from early this year. if you havent seen it check it out it claims disproof of Bohr's Principle of Complementarity. Luckily I was doing some exploration relating to the validity of psudo sciences tonight and came opon it.

As for life this morning was a bit crazy cheebs realator acted as if i was the owner of her apartment and got me to try and sell it to a perspective. This crazy situation however seems to be just the thing i needed to cheer me a bit. I love my cheebs! just wish i could do more for her birthday.

Grrr today is full of nothing can't get thru to anyone i want to. people arnt responding. is that a correct use of arnt? dosn't matter anyway the weekend was like a weekend lite. good and at the same time somehow unsatifying. still I had some chicken parm stuffed pizza whitch i am addicted to, hotdogs out of season whitch where particularly good, and reeses desert bar whitch while rich rocked my sox. i'm gonna go do laundry and dishes now and give up on everything else...
while laundring I have acheived this...

I decided to take a walk today and upon reaching E Market and S Matlack Streets I decided I would walk south for exactly 1 hour and then head back. It may seem a strange thing to do but it gives me time for thought, a chance to notice things, a sense of direction, and in the end a feeling of acomplishment.

How was everybody's Halloween/Samhain? Anything cool or spooky happen?

I said as i grew up i'd post more pictures and so I have.


last night was draculas ball whitch was fun for pictures see cheeb's lj

if you do not recognize me you need only know that I will soon be your master! You may call me Dr. Cube. for those wising to date me, know of my amazing story and/or, to join my minions or remove a hairlip see here.


But why you may be asking yourself is our illustrious master posting here of all places. This is a excellent question as most of the content contained herein is far below my ingenious capacity.

last night cheebs and i where sitting here when all of a sudden the sound of a parade band started up we went out to investigate

it seems that it can only be last minute creativity that saves me from viewing myself negitivly again for halloween this year. Everyone needs a little push in the right diection sometimes and remote controlls for humans are just the ticket.

my dreams keep seeming to get stranger latly at least i am remembering them after i wake up. wish i remembered them all but i don't. sometimes I wonder if I am having wirians normal psycho analytical dreams for him seeing as most of them latly seemed to contain his friends and some strangers more than my own. but I digress because last night most everything was my own.. I think..

found a neet little movie on "free independent on demand" and although i don't have time for a complete entry i thought I would reccomend it to everyone. so if you get a chance check out Ruang rak noi nid mahasan(Last Life in the Universe).It even has a guest appearance by Takashi Miike.

Today chibifrog and i took a walk thru a pumpkin patch and found the pumpkin ghetto.

recently i saw a profile on myspace where the responses could be summed up by


hi thank you for adding me and you look beautifull/sexy/great will you have sex with me you are cool as is your video.


this is in my opinion sad and not very representitive of the honest way in whitch me and my friends work thus demeaning real comments like you look great in this photo. so in order to level the playing feild i am going to set out on a mission to let people(my friends) know what i really think of their pictures.I defiy your "if you don't have anything nice to say dont say anything at all"! I hope that i don't piss anyone off too bad.
