People Aren't Smart Enough for Democracy

Food for thought. Considering the arguments that I hear people use and especially the ones I hear used by columnists, I am rather tempted by the idea of further limiting who gets the right to vote. You know, no need to be super smart, just smart enough to understand what you're truly voting for.

How embarrassing would it be if I got rejected?

This Guy

He is undoubtedly the person you've never heard of with the longest wikipedia biography, he is Prince Klemens Wenzel von Metternich. I mean it's just about as long as Napoleon fucking Bonaparte's!

The Bicycle Is the Devil's Tool

The bicycle is a devilish paraphernalia that destroys the youth – and lures them into rolling around on the roads every single night and on Sundays.

Parents and husbands no longer know where their children and servants are. They roam for miles to parties and dance, get drunk and uppity because of this gad about machinery. They fight and sin and impregnate girls from foreign parishes whom they don’t even know.

And even though a groom can ride very fast it is not to say that he is a skilful and trustworthy guy. On the contrary, it rather seems that the feeblest groom is the best bicycle rider.

The bicycle is expensive and the youth fritter away their money on bike rides and don’t do any savings for the household.

Some temporal, foolish people talk about freedom and the benefits of getting out, exploring and enjoying nature. But they are forgetting that the youth are racing with their tongue hanging out of their mouth, legs raving and they don’t look left or right – you cannot call that healthiness.

Kidneys, hearts and lungs are being shaken loose in the bodies of the youth that long has left them. And girls – yes even the married ones, who have given birth – are sitting and wriggling with their skirts fluttering far beyond all possible bounds of decency.

Even in Sweden, more bastards have been born since the lady’s bicycle has been invented!

I love Internet correlations

Although it would be a fantastic coincidence if this axis shifting quake did take place on march 22nd because such earthquake would most probably create a tsunami, and a tsunami is made of water, and march 22nd is.... .... ... ... World Water Day!
(coincidence?)

What better way to celebrate the World Water Day than with a axis shifting quake produced fast moving wall of gazillions tons of water!

Thank you Internets for the best bedtime stories in the world.

Ah, just one more.
