School Bans Tag / Touch Footy

Check out CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/10/18/no.tag.ap/index.html. A school in Boston has banned chase games including Tiggie and Touch Footy for fear of students getting hurt and the school being liable. That is all I did when I was at primary school.

Nerd vs Geek

What is a Nerd? What is a Geek? The definitions have been questioned often and by many people. This definition of a nerd sums it up best I think:

Nerd

A person who gains pleasure from amassing large quantities of knowledge about subjects often too detailed or complicated for most other people to be bothered with.

Often mistaken for Geeks, who aspire to become nerds, yet lack the intelligence, and end up giving nerds a bad name due to their poor social skills.

Non-nerds are often scared of nerds, due to their detailed knowledge, and therefore seemingly high levels of intelligence - and subsequently denegrate them as much as possible as often as possible.

Nerds exist covertly within the fabric of society, often choosing to 'nerd it up' in private or in the company of fellow nerds. It is for this reason they are feared the most - unlike geeks, who are easily identified, nerds can only be found out when casual conversation reaches a subject that they like nerding.

Rambo IV.... Lets hope it is better than Rocky V

Aging filmmaker Sylvester Stallone will write, direct and star in Rambo IV: In The Serpent’s Eye, according to a report in entertainment trade magazine, Production Weekly.

The next chapter finds war veteran John J Rambo recruited by a group of Christian human rights missionaries to protect them against pirates, while they try to deliver humanitarian aid to the persecuted Karen people of Burma. When sadistic Burmese soldiers take some missionaries prisoner, Rambo gets a second impossible job: assemble a team of mercenaries to rescue the surviving relief workers.

Rambo 4 – which has also had the working subtitles End of Peace and Holy War – starts shooting in Thailand in January.

A condom that plays music?!

Looks like you're set to conduct your very own orchestera of love the next time you and your wife get it on in the shack. Ukranians are a very fortunate (or unfortunate, depending on how you look at it) lot as they are set to receive a new condom that was designed to play music louder and faster as lovers reach a climax. The name of the condom is Zaporozhye, which was created by the equally unpronounceable Grigoriy Chausovsky, and these rubber barriers come with an integrated sensor that registers when the condom is put on. The base of the condom contains a miniature speaker which will play a melody from the received signal. A registered increase in speed will play the melody faster and louder. One can only wonder how such a device is powered - via kinetic energy?

UQ Law Revue 05 - You wouldn't steal a ...

I like this one too. Rather than purchasing a text book, would you ever goto the library and photocopy the whole thing? (Back when I was at uni, photocopying was cheap enough to do this sort of thing) Those of us who goto the movies know where this was ripped from...

UQ Law Revue 06 - March of the Engineers

The UQ Law Revue is a night of comedy from the UQ Law students that is put on each year to entertain the general UQ populous. Mostly, it just gives the Law students the chance to add to their self absortion. But sometimes, they provide some nuggets of true genious. I have been to a few Law Revues myself, back when I was dating a Law student and at the time there was definetly some funny stuff. This year, there was a skit that included the UQ Engineer. Check it out!
