This isn't just gonna be an eyebrow wax, Chewy

I hate it when I go to the 'beauty salon' and they make you pay more just because you've presented them with a challenge.
And then they rip all your skin off.

I now have nice grazes above each eye where my skin is slowly growing back. I will try to pass it off as an extreme sport accident or bar fight, but those of you who know me and are reading this now know the truth. (That and you know I havn't done any extreme sports, nor gotton into any bar fights, but there's the possibility, I may be able to plant the seed of doubt... well, not now.)



Evil beauticians... grrr....

Babel Fish

Insert quote:

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

English to german and back to english:

All going everything it was not of times, it was that worst of times, it was the age of intelligence, it was the age of the stupidity, it was the epoch of the faith, it was the epoch of the disbelievingness, it was the season of the light, it was the season of the density, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of the despair, we had everything before us, we had anything before us, which was best we, which goes directly to the sky, we was refers the other way -- briefly said, was the period up to now like the present period, some its loudest authorities existed on its receive, for good or for evils, in superlative the degree only the comparison.

Albinos

From Wiki:

While the most common term for an individual affected by albinism is "albino", some prefer "person with albinism", because "albino" is often used in a derogatory way.
[i prefer "pigmentally challenged"]

About 1 in 17,000 people have some type of albinism, although up to 1 in 75 are carriers.

Lack of melanin in the eye also results in problems with vision unrelated to photosensitivity.

People with albinism are generally as healthy as the rest of their species, with growth and development occurring as normal. Many animals with albinism, however, lose their protective camouflage and are unable to conceal themselves from their predators or prey. The survivability rate of animals with albinism in the wild is usually quite low. The largest problem people with albinism face is social, as the condition is sometimes a source of teasing during adolescent years.

Due to albinism's effect on one's outward appearance, cultures around the world have developed many myths and superstitions regarding people with albinism.

A common misconception is that albino individuals of a species are sterile, but albinos are fully capable of reproducing.

A myth has developed in Zimbabwe that having sex with a woman with albinism will cure a man of HIV. This has led to many women with albinism in the area being raped.

In Jamaica, West Indies, people with albinism have been degraded and regarded as cursed. In recent times, the albino dancehall singer Yellowman has helped to end this stereotype.

In some cultures, people with albinism are thought to have magical powers, as depicted in the 1995 film Powder, or are able to tell the future.

It is also thought by many that people with albinism live short life spans. This is not true, but may be a distorted view of a more reasonable fact that people with albinism have a higher risk of skin cancer if they do not use proper skin protection when in the sun.

Horrible horrible people

I don't like horrible people.
People who think they are superior to a clearly superior being.
People who turn their back to you when you, in your infinate generosity, as they say, acknowledge their presence.

Now, I'm far too polite to say anything in this situation.
However, I'm not too polite to intraveneously force feed them their own vitrous humour.
Oh yes, that would definately be a noble retaliation.

Not In Service

I have noticed a lot of buses dring around with this destination printed on their fronts. I would have thought this must be a popular bus route with so many buses driving the route, however, the buses are always empty.
(Except or the driver, of course. Can't have ghost buses driving around. Unless they're pirate ghost buses- Jinkies!)

I often wonder why this is.

Red Eye

Stimulating combination of ginger, gotu kola, ginseng, gingko biloba, guarana and grape seed, enhanced with green tea extract.
The perfect way to regenerate.
Also tastes like shit.

A Commentary of Current Affairs

Apparently, it is much easier, in that it is potentially do-able, to rescue people from collapsed mines than from sunken submarines.
I would have thought in theory these two situations would be very similar.
Guess not.
