i hate getting up and it being incredibly cold in my house. the walk from bed to the shower and the wet walk from the shower back to my room are not the most pleasant things i can think of.

Is Michael Phelps the Jayson Werth of swimming?

That was a long time between random thoughts.

I know. I couldn't believe how far down the board this thread had dropped.

Bat bombs were bomb-shaped casings with numerous compartments, each containing a Mexican Free-tailed Bat with a small timed incendiary bomb attached. Dropped from a bomber at dawn, the casings would deploy a parachute in mid-flight and open to release the bats which would then roost in eaves and attics. The incendiaries would start fires in inaccessible places in the largely wood and paper construction of the Japanese cities that were the weapon's intended target.

So it appears you will have to wait 30 days after a movie is released on DVD to watch it if you're a Netflix subscriber.

Seeing the potential, military strategists have been keen to conscript insects during war. In World War II, the French and Germans pursued the mass production and dispersion of Colorado potato beetles to destroy enemy food supplies. The Japanese military, meanwhile, sprayed disease-carrying fleas from low-flying airplanes and dropped bombs packed with flies and a slurry of cholera bacteria. The Japanese killed at least 440,000 Chinese using plague-infected fleas and cholera-coated flies, according to a 2002 international symposium of historians.

That bat thing was pretty cool. But the first test-flight burned down several buildings of the air force base where dropeed. Project scuttled.

Leigh Bowery, famous fat performance artist gay guy, was creative director for the video of Unfinished Sympathy. I find that almost as weird as burroughs joining the scientologists. It doesn't explode my head quite as much though.

what the WHAT?!?

I'd never heard about this before, and Googled it.

From my three minutes or so of research, it seems that ol' Bill saw some merit in Scientologist practices but deplored the organizational aspects. He wasn't really much of a joiner anyway...

the story ends well. He gets so pissed off with them he subjects their building in London to his tape recording and photography attack, where he takes loads of pics and makes sound recordings, then goes back, plays back the recordings and takes more pics. The theory being that this would result in accidents or arson or similar mishap. Several months later, they move their hq to tottenham court road.
