- Laughing Deer From a comment thread on the Belmont Club. The liberal weltanshauung is burning down before our very eyes. Their irrational hatred of George W. Bush has set them against genuinely liberal principles such as freedom, tolerance, and democracy. The American left can sense that their creed is as desiccated and fragile as an oak leaf in October, but they seem to be helpless against their own rage. It consumes them and blinds them to everything else. If George W. Bush is for it, they are against it. The Left has become a group of modern-day heyoka, like the indian in Thomas Berger's Little Big Man who says "Hello" when he means "Goodbye", rides his horse backward, washes with dirt and dries with water. Except that unlike the Lakota Heyoka, the Left cannot comprehend that they are absurd and thus draw some sanity from the absurd. They lack that insight and consequently make themselves all the more ridiculous.

Today, the Machine [the Internet] acts like a very large computer with top-level functions that operate at approximately the clock speed of an early PC. It processes 1 million emails each second, which essentially means network email runs at 1 megahertz. Same with Web searches. Instant messaging runs at 100 kilohertz, SMS at 1 kilohertz. The Machine's total external RAM is about 200 terabytes. In any one second, 10 terabits can be coursing through its backbone, and each year it generates nearly 20 exabytes of data. Its distributed "chip" spans 1 billion active PCs, which is approximately the number of transistors in one PC.
Since each of its "transistors" is itself a personal computer with a billion transistors running lower functions, the Machine is fractal. In total, it harnesses a quintillion transistors, expanding its complexity beyond that of a biological brain. It has already surpassed the 20-petahertz threshold for potential intelligence as calculated by Ray Kurzweil. For this reason some researchers pursuing artificial intelligence have switched their bets to the Net as the computer most likely to think first.
I predict that as the Web becomes aware it will hate us and have a vile sense of humor...

Some of our cave-dwelling Neanderthal relatives probably had red hair and fair complexions, much like modern-day humans of Celtic origin, according to a study released Thursday. 
Adrian McKinnon held the suspect, 33-year-old Tajuan Bullock, at gunpoint and told him to sit on the floor until he decided what to do.
"We made this man clean up all the mess he made, piles of stuff, he had thrown out of my drawers and cabinets onto the floor," Tiffany McKinnon said.
When police arrived, Bullock complained about being forced to clean the home at gunpoint.
"This man had the nerve to raise sand about us making him clean up the mess he made in my house," she said. "The police officer laughed at him when he complained and said anybody else would have shot him dead."
Good thing it wasn't my house.
My wife would have him painting rooms, washing dogs, doing laundry, digging gardens, and cleaning gutters......and then I would have shot him, but only after he begged for death.
What fun. More Dan Rather stuff. So much better than OJ or Brittany.

They seem to set great story by having lots of friends. I have few if any. The low score on the body was a forgone conclusion anyway.
On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris.
No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.
AWESOME
The video is sync'd with a google map so as to see the car's progress through Paris. Follow the simple instructions on the left and hang onto your shorts. You can change the map to sat view and zoom in too.
He's up on the sidewalk at one point, goes against traffic on the wrong side of the road, and red lights mean nothing.
A French corespondent tells me that the whole thing was a scam.Bummer
Comments from Lelouch prove that the vehicle that carried the camera was his Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9.[1] A picture was released of Lelouch working with the gyro stabilized camera on his Mercedes. This model, which could reach a top speed of 235 km/h, was only available with a 3-speed automatic transmission. Yet, one can hear gear changes up into 5th, with a high-revving engine indicating speeds of well over 200 km/h. Sometimes one can hear the driver miss gears while attempting to shift as fast as possible, something that is impossible with automatic transmission, proving that the sound was dubbed. It is suggested that the sound was dubbed with the noise of Lelouch's 275GTB, which has a corresponding number of gears and a similar engine note.
I and a couple of engineers at the Hughes Helicopter plant, then locatd in Venice, California, analysed it and noted the following:
1) To give an illusion of speed the camera was located just above pavement level. The floors and bottoms of the doors of several moving cars in an adjoining lane and in the right side of the film frame were actually above camera height.
2) Pay attention to how long it took to pass other cars to the driver's right. ... It looked like normal traffic, with the camera car moving at near-normal speed.
3) pay attention to how long it took to approach nearby landmarks such as church steeples, trees, and traffic lights, and finally pass them by.
4) The illusion of speed was enhanced by screaming formula-car engine noises and gear shifts with a dubbed-in sound tract.
I measured one stretch at about 6500 - 6750 feet long. The car took 73 seconds to pass along this straightaway...One with no obstructions. He couldn't have been traveling much more than a couple miles over 60mph on a stretch he says he did 140Mph. Coming home from work at 80mph I go 8565 feet in 73 seconds.
Cool tho...
