Linkspam!

I spent the majority of today in a blinding rage for no known reason (for further reference, see my Xanga or my JF journal). Thus I present: LINKSPAM! No more drug smuggling for you! The article and its writeup on Poe News isn't all that interesting really. But check out the picture of that tunnel! It reminds me of a show I saw on Discovery once about Prohibition and underground moonshine maker people and stuff. I want one of those tunnels under my house! N-O is the new Cool Thing Some chick is skateboarding and totally wipes out, landing on a manhole cover. The twist? The manhole cover was burning hot and she got BURNED. The bad part being it looked like she was branded with the letters "O" and "N". So she's pissed and all lawsuity. "Are those wrenches in your pants..." This is just plain amusing. Humorous cop logs and stupid criminals. There's certainly plenty of the latter and enough of the former talking about them. Except in better constructed sentences that that one. Flesh-eating caterpillars I am not even kidding. This is reason number five thousand six hundred and ninety twelve why I don't like creepycrawlies. Hawaii is a scary, scary place. Also, this would make for an excellent Sci-Fi Channel Original Movie. I'm just saying. We all love Daylight Savings Time! "They" want to extend Daylight Savings Time by two months. March to November instead of April to October. Really, it was originally so farmers could get an extra hour of daylight to work on their crops or something. Well, that's what I was taught, at least. The article tells different. Regardless, if anything is going to be done, it should be getting rid of the crazy time changes. That's all I got. Enjoy!

Who are "they" and why do "they" want to change everything?

Has anyone ever told "them" that changing the time on the clock doesn't actually have anything to do with the amount of daylight there is? Farmers have woke up just before sunrise, and worked until just after sunset for centuries. Changing the time on the clock doesn't help (doesn't hurt the farmers either, but that's not the point).

As for the article.... "Save energy"????? "The more daylight we have, the less electricity we use."????? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot ?!?!?!? (thanks Nire, I've been waiting to use this one) ... I say again... CHANGING THE CLOCK TIME HAS ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW MUCH DAYLIGHT THERE IS!!!

Further on in the article it mentions children walking to school in darkness as an argument to oppose the extension of Daylight Savings Time.... now from what I've been taught THAT'S the reason *FOR STARTING* Daylight Savings Time to begin with. However I can see how people can now use that same reason to oppose extending it 2 more months since the months "they" are proposing extending into have fewer hours of daylight than those already covered.

That tunnel is awesome. It should be attached to a secret passage in a creepy but awesome house.
That chick is a dumbass. I hope they laugh her and her lawyer out of court.
I LOVE DUMB CRIMINALS!
I HATE FLESH-EATING CREATURES OF ALL KINDS!
Last but not least - I mock all of you and your Daylight Savings. We desert dwellers have concluded that the *last* thing we need is more daylight.


But somebody has to say it, so...

"Isn't it great to see Congressmen reaching out over party lines?" :-p
