Stalking Venus

I haven’t seen the new Transformers movie yet, so I can’t really comment on it. But here’s what Transformers star, Megan Fox thinks about it…

According to The Age newspaper, she explained to TV program The Early Show: “I usually don’t watch things that I do because I’m very neurotic about it and I can’t sit through it. But I had to watch this one because everyone was saying ‘Megan, it’s really good, you have to watch it.’

“It’s massive. I don’t know how people can see it on IMAX without having a brain aneurism or at least a migraine headache. I’m in the movie and I read the script and I still don’t know what’s happening so I think if you haven’t read the script and you see it and you understand it you are a genius.”

This from Associated Press…

Authorities said a US woman obsessed with rabbits is in trouble again.

In violation of probation terms, she was found holed up in a hotel room in Tigard, Oregon with more than a dozen rabbits.

Officers said they had to break into the room on Tuesday and found eight adults and half a dozen baby rabbits, one dead.

The police say some were caged, some roaming.

They arrested 47-year-old Miriam Sakewitz.

She was arrested in 2007 with more than 250 rabbits in squalid conditions. In a plea deal, she was forbidden to have animals for five years.

Before her conviction, police said, she broke into a holding area to retrieve her rabbits. Four months after the plea deal, she was sent to jail for three days for having a rabbit

This is a nice little music video from a band called Make The Girl Dance. The song is called Baby Baby Baby, in case you couldn’t figure it out from the lyrics…

My dad just sent me a link to a website which pretty much held me head-locked to the floor, drilled a hole in my skull and then fucked me in the mind until I was weeping for mercy.

This is probably the most awesome bit of technology I’ve seen since Google came along, and from the looks of it, it’s set to become a massive part of our lives before too long. The guy who made it is an absolute frikken genius.

It’s a search and computational engine for everything. For example, you can ask it “what is the average age of a male in Finland” and it will not only give you the answer, but a bunch of related data too. You can ask it about the town of Springfield. There are many Springfield’s in the world, so it will look at your IP address, figure out which Springfield is closest to you, and give you that result (along with a drop-down menu of other Springfields).

I decided to test the beast, and asked it “What was the weather in London when Winston Churchill died?”

It came back to me saying that it didn’t have weather data for January 24, 1965, but went on to helpfully offer me a historical temperatures table for that date. You actually have to play with it to understand how bloody marvelous this thing is.

In a bout of hysterical irony, Jesus is marrying Madonna…

Madonna and her young lover Jesus are getting married in a Kabbalah ceremony, according to the model’s father.

Fresh out of her eight-year marriage to British film maker Guy Ritchie, Madge, 50, plans to wed the 22-year-old in a Kabbalah ceremony in the near future, Britain’s Daily Mail reports.

The revelation came in an interview Jesus Luz’s father, Luiz Heitor Pinto da Luz, gave to Brazilian magazine Quem.

“My understanding is that this is just a consequence of what is happening,” Mr Luz told the magazine.

“He is already living with her.

“I don’t know if there will be an actual wedding.

“From what I have read there could be a sort of ritual, but I don’t know Kabbalah… to know if it’s valid and legal.”

The pair met on a magazine photo shoot in a Brazilian hotel room late last year.
