I like playing my CDd in my computer, the CDRom is a CD read write - so some CDs havent been able to be played - that's ok i thought, i can deal with that. Sony are obviously into saving their CDs good idea.

Now some bright spark has discovered a way around it, so anyone with a felt tip marker can mark the edge of the CD - which then makes it able to play - thus eliminating the copy write trick they put on the CD in the first place

I read the article here

lol - You guys HAVE to go to this link:

watch out.. they are on the mooooove

The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all of the background checks, interviews, and testing were done, there were three finalists… Two men and a woman. For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.

“We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances. Inside of this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill her!!”

The man said “You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife ”

The agent said, “Then you are not the right man for the job”

The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. The man came out with tears in his eyes “I tried, but I can't kill my wife”.

The agent said “You don't have what it takes. Take your wife, go home”

Finally it was the woman's turn. She was given the same instructions to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another, they heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet.

The door opened slowly and there stood the woman, she wiped the sweat from her brow and said “this gun is loaded with blanks, I had to beat him to death with the chair”

and just in case we haven't had enough of urban myths and legends about the world trade centre, try this on for size.. a US $20 bill and look at what it can do.

some people have too much time on their hands..

rummaging around as i now do in my extensive reading list now that i have joined several communities and am diving in feet first! I came across this person's LJ after another LJ person pasted a link to his journal entry regarding Star Wars

xxthejoexx

and he has written / copied / whatever an interesting view of Star Wars, which seems to have parallels drawn to it, to the September 11 attacks.

Which is odd, cos Mark and I thought the same when we left.. how closely it seemed to be similar to the US vs Terrorists etc.

So.. if we try and relate it, who is the evil empire? in the article, it looks like the US could be, and bin Laden a rebel trying to save the world… Wouldn't that be ironic if that was true?

food for thought
lori

Does anyone know what that means?

Error
There was an error getting the journal entries to edit:

Client error: Invalid text encoding: Cannot display non-Unicode posts unless default encoding has been selected

Today i decided to rummage around my friends lists and have a look around at who was still online and posting and who wasnt.

so i deleted 1 person cuz he has never posted.. and started adding pretty colours to people's names. So i find that chrissy has deleted her journal.. which is a shame, but she hasnt written for a while, not has she been on channels i usually see her on.. so i wonder where she has been, or up to.

also note that IRC_addicts community has been deleted.. that's a shame really. but it never really got off the ground. - and in the space of 5 minutes someone has added me to their friends list… i have to ask.. ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO?!?! think about it.. seriously
added a couple more communities to my list, i need more to read - and i have been rummaging around livejournal for 3 hours… 4 hours now.. mainly AD&D stuff since that is some of what i am interested in.

Oh and after reading some of the friends posts on my list.. i have brain burn…

ummm

i think that is all i will do today.. i added heaps of peeps and stuff and there is a ricardo montalban movie on channel 7… SEXY.. not… *cough*
