Australian propaganda
The officially sanctioned “So where the bloody hell are you?” campaign. Apparently they’ve been having some problems getting it broadcast overseas.
And then there’s the spoofed campaign “So where in the fucking hell are you?” which would probably suffer the same problem.
And thats why we have the Internet. 
And PS: What’s up with the 2 point spread between 1st place and 4th place in the NHL Northwest division. That’s lunacy.

To the extreme..
Even though this is proof you should never post your picture on the internet… I’m going to do it anyway:
I can’t remember exactly why it came up but at work we were discussing (what was originally linked by Wolf) extreme Elvis. Perhaps we can extend the discussion to the comments here…

Never seen this angle before
Saw this on Darren Barefoot’s site — it’s a bald eagle nest on Hornby Island. There may be some eggs in there, tough to see with that bird in the way!
I suppose I’ve only ever seen nests from the ground so this is a crazy “view of a birds eye” view.

Why don’t I start reading the series in twenty years or so??
For those of you that are Robert Jordan fans and are anxiously awaiting the next chapter of the Wheel of Time…
Don’t hold your breath. From his website…
I have been diagnosed with amyloidosis. That is a rare blood disease which affects only 8 people out of a million each year, and those 8 per million are divided among 22 distinct forms of amyloidosis. They are distinct enough that while some have no treatment at all, for the others, the treatment that works on one will have no effect whatsoever on any of the rest…In any case, I intend to live considerably longer than that (the median life expectancy)…I sat down and figured out how long it would take me to write all of the books I currently have in mind, without adding anything new and without trying rush anything. The figure I came up with was thirty years.
To be clear, I admire his moxy, I’m just pointing out that if you’re a fan, you’ll be waiting damn long time for his last book. You can read his full post at http://www.tor.com/jordan/
