Seems like it's been a double Red-Bull win... first Vettel at F1 in Korea, and then Baumgartner at... let's jump back onto earth from space. Amazing. No wonder that sh*tty lemonade is so expensive per can. :lol:

Climate change denialism from the Daily Fail. Quelle surprise.

It's a deliberate misrepresentation of the statistics (in other words, not to put too fine a point on it, a lie). The world is still getting hotter.

Here is a tear-down of (what I assume is) the "study" the Daily Heil is referencing.

Apparently there's a "hell mouth" in Leeds, and it's all connected to Jimmy Savile, the Freemasons, Energy Vampires, and...

Well, the article certainly gives you an insight into the David Icke forums without having to visit them yourself:

The idea that there's a hell-mouth in Leeds explains a lot. I bet it's beneath the Temple Works building.

Anyway. I think we need to tread carefully here. Libel laws and all that.

Every possibility a certain individual is completely innocent of what he is being hinted at being. Regarding Newsnight, if they didn't have the bollocks to name him and face the consequences, they should have kept quiet. His name is already common knowledge online, if he's innocent this has finished him in the worst way, because he never gets to defend himself.

Troo dat.

Although I don't think that suffering a false accusation of abuse is anywhere in the same league as suffering the abuse. YMMV.

A MORE AWESOME GAME.)

I'd like to think that this would be enough to silence the cynical snarking of those who were whining about the Occupy movement just being a bunch of lazy unwashed students etc.? But it probably won't.

That sounds very interesting. If it should work fine, then we will have media coverage all over soon, I guess ... or not, because hell, what if everybody started doing things as such ... :lol: ...

Yes, if everyone started doing it then the trillions of dollars that the world is in debt to itself (and that is one of the reasons I just can't get my head around the more abstract economics of capitalism) would just vanish as the world buys its own debt at cut-down rates and writes it off.

Anyway, media coverage is starting:
