Kulula – flying 101. Brilliant.

Kulula’s paint work for their new Boeing 737-86N (January 2010).

Another image – a great closeup of the detail on the left tail section.

Not your average boring airline.

Chemical Pollution Destroying Masculinity, not Humour

As usual the comments are the best part of today’s Slashdot coverage of a new study claiming that “A host of common chemicals is feminizing males of every class of vertebrate animals, from fish to mammals, including people“:

  • On behalf of my fellow males I’d like to say:

    …shit

  • Polygamy? Most man can hardly tolerate one wife!
    • You think tolerating multiple wives is difficult, try more than one mother in law!
  • No you wouldn’t, because you can only have sex so many times in a given day. The rest of the day you’d have to put up with female whining — which is bad enough when it’s just coming from one of them.
    • Two words: Coolidge Effect
  • women are complex, emotional creatures who need a whole lot of care and feeding
    • Oh come on, your wife isn’t that fat.
  • On the behalf of my fellow males I’d like to say:

    …wait a minute, that dress is for sale? brb

  • Finally an excuse for my weak body, small penis and my interest for tea. And sadly my limited interest for breasts.
    • You need an excuse for being British?
    • Hey, the British are completely obsessed with breasts (that’s why The Sun sells so many copies a day). As for the other bits, it’s 51 degrees N and the central heating is dodgy, so lack of exercise, shrinkage of extremities and interest in hot drinks are natural.
  • Not only is it destroying our masculinity, but it’s making my nails really dirty and I’ve just had them done :(
  • I can drink longer, fight harder, shout louder and piss further than any other man in the Yukon, and anyone who doesn’t believe me can step outside!
    • “He’s a Lumberjack and he’s OK…”
  • Is one of those chemicals…. named Oprah?
  • What this really means is that us old guys have bigger dicks than you nelly boys. Now get off my lawn, pansy.

South African Politics – I say nothing

Nappy

“As we said before, we should never become despondent because the weather is bad nor should we turn triumphalist because the sun shines.
“… gloom and despondency have never defeated adversity,” ~Thabo Mbeki

“Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason.” ~Author Unknown

“Life’s too short to worry about things like tigers. Just relax, and have fun.” ~Baloo the bear

pnorton is not stressed about politics. Que sera, sera.” (~twitter)

Something to remember

The look on Caleb’s face last night when he saw his first Glowstick light up last night at bedtime. A mixture of awe and delight and wonder – I hope I never forget his expression.
We’re going camping in December, and a glowstick is my solution to a safe camping-friendly nightlight for the kids (the fact that I love them has nothing to do with it :-)
And…
Me: Sneezing
Caleb (walking past at the time): “Bless you my son”

The Death of Adolf Hitler – Alternate History Search Results

image My favourite scenario from “Missives from Possible Futures #1: Alternate History Search Results by John Scalzi” is definitely #6.

Scenario #6

Event: ADOLF HITLER is KILLED by BULLET WOUND IN CROSSFIRE BETWEEN TIME-TRAVELING ANTI-NAZIS SENT BACK TO KILL HIM AND TIME-TRAVELING NAZIS SENT BACK TO PREVENT HIS ASSASSINATION

As a result: Causality loop annihilates time and space surrounding Vienna, knocking everyone in the city back to 1529 and the eve of the First Turkish Seige; as the 20th century Viennese use their historical knowledge to help the 16th Century Viennese, time-traveling pro-Viennese forces appear and fight a pitched battle with time-traveling pro-Ottoman forces, pushing everyone back to 955 and the Battle of Lechfeld; when the time-traveling pro-Magyar forces show up, they are slaughtered by everyone else which is tired of all this time-traveling crap, thereby ending the causality loop. Vienna becomes world power; Henry Jasomirgott first man on the moon, 1155

Creationist Museum Acquires 5,000-Year-Old T. Rex Skeleton

image

“TULSA, OK—In a major coup for the growing field of creation science, the perfectly preserved remains of a 5,000-year-old Tyrannosaurus Rex were delivered Monday to Tulsa’s Creationist Museum of Natural History.”

From The Onion (January 2003, but relevant now because of the recently opened Creation Museum - see Adam and Eve in the Land of the Dinosaurs [NYT]).
