Interview with a Satanist. O: Is that upside-down cross really burned in your forehead?
GB: Mm-hmm.
O: How'd you do that?
GB: I got a chapel cross, a silver chapel cross, I fastened it to a branding iron, and I heated it up with a propane torch and stuck it into my forehead.
O: That's got to hurt.
GB: Well, the first time did. It swelled up like an egg on my forehead, but now it's all scar tissue, so I just heat it up a little bit and it takes the top layer of skin right off.

I DJed on Saturday night @ Balcon pub on Kao Sarn road. Went pretty well I guess, got some nice cheers from the crowd. It's the first time I've had a full dance floor. I saw the X games qualifier on Sunday. Wow, really made me miss riding. It's good to see the Thai riders getting into it, although the best tricks were mostly 360s, Nothings, and barspins. A friend of mine named B tried and pulled a rail slide.
Saw Pearl Harbor too... a good movie.

The Tower of Babel Is Crumbling Eight countries account for more than half of all languages. They are, in order: Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Nigeria, India, Mexico, Cameroon, Australia and Brazil.
One reason is because half of all languages are spoken by fewer than 2,500 people each, according to the Worldwatch Institute, a private organization that monitors global trends.

Languages need at least 100,000 speakers to survive the ages, says UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

Condom Broke? Head for Web Half of all pregnancies in the United States are "accidents," and 50 percent of these -- or 1.5 million -- end in abortion. If emergency contraception were widely available, that rate would be cut in half, Scott said.

Pasport? When George W. Bush leaves tonight for his European trip, will he have to take a passport with him just like every other American who goes abroad?
Yes, he needs a passport, but no, it's not like everyone else's. The president of the United States, his immediate family, certain top officials, and diplomatic personnel are issued diplomatic passports, which have a black cover and for which the bearer doesn't have to pay a passport fee. When the president travels, a team of people, usually from the State Department, coordinate the paperwork of the trip and hold onto the president's passport. After the president emerges from Air Force One, waves to the crowd, and gets in his limo, he doesn't then stand in line at customs. The State Department employees take his passport, and those of the others in his entourage, through the host country's customs procedures.

The United States issues three types of passports. There are currently about 44 million holders of the familiar, blue tourist passport (a few thousand people have green passports issued during the bicentennial of the U.S. Consular Service). About 400,000 have a maroon-covered "official" passport. These are issued to people not in the diplomatic corps who are going abroad in the service of the U.S. government--a large percentage of holders of official passports are active-duty military and their families. About 80,000 Americans have diplomatic passports. One perk of the presidency is that even when you're out of office, you get to keep your diplomatic passport. That means Bush, who had one once before, when he was the son of the president, will never have to be without one. As for the Queen of England...
