I think I'm not much of a writer (actually I'm pretty sure of it). I thought I'd write down a nice story about my PE day but I'm thinking no one cares what I hunted and that's all there is to tell. My little chat with Skam while I was hunting troopers seemed the have some fluffylucky effect though, got 2 chairs and those were the only interesting loots for today.
I think I'll be writing opinions about anything that bothers/interests me too here. (Like a real blog hah) I don't know, I think it's a venting thing, you can always PM me if you want to discuss something I love discussions! Politics don't go very well on the public PE forum though I guess, but if MB doesn't mind some (most) of my opinion will be linked to politics because I think everyone should think about this subject! (some things are also just jokes and don't reflect any opinion, it's up to you to make the difference hah!)
Something 'interesting' I read today is that 3797 people have been executed in 25 countries and 7395 people in 64 countries have been sentenced with the death penalty (source: Amnesty International), and those are only the offically reported numbers. In reality they are much higher they estimate. The 4 countries murdering most people were: China (3400) Iran (159) Vietnam (64) and USA (59). Unbelievable no? When canada scrapped death penalty from their law the crime number went down, so far for the only argument 'supporting' death penalties. How can a society dissaprove murdering while the people they elect do it themselves? Pure hypocrisy. Not even to mention the people who were found innocent after the lethal sentence... pure horror. Civilisation, yes please!
Something else made me laugh my ass off today though, on the best radio station in the world: www.stubru.be they were playing a song by a Japanese metal band that was called 'Invader Ace'... Hilarious those japanese guys didn't master english pronounciation that well and pronounced (or rather screamed) 'INVADE HER ASS' all the time... Bad move to go international with that song?
Wow 4 alineas...
Question: An arab and an afro-american are in a car, who's driving?
Answer: The police!

I read my WWF member magazine today
Fact: Global heating and man being responsible for it. There's a scientific consensus about this.
Fact: Fossil resources are not inexhaustible and we need to get independent from them
Fact: Acting with this reality in mind is NOT bad for our economy, like some people want us to believe. Inventing in the development of innovating, energy-efficient technologies can create new jobs and is definatly needed to put smaller industrious countries (Belgium) on the map in the world of tomorrow. Refusing to invest now is NOT a saving: society will have to pay the price once the consequences of the climate change will start to be 'feelable'.
(Source: WWF 'Panda Magazine' nr.32 Jan-Feb-Mar)
So...
SIGN KYOTO!!!
And act by it!
Australia? Wtf mates? USA? Uh? All other nations signing the treaty but buying emission rights in other countries so they can keep poluting the earth, huh?
Universal truth of today: You can't milk a cow with your hands in your pants! (sic The Admiral!)

Time for something funny again!
TEEN HORRIFIED AFTER DOWNLOADING SKIN FLICK AND DISCOVERING...
MOM AND DAD ARE PORNO STARS!
By MATT KIRSCH
AN OHIO teen was severely traumatized after discovering the stars of a downloaded porno flick were none other than his own parents.
Timmy Shannon, 17, recalls the moment that scarred him for life. "I was like five minutes into this porno called Horny House Wives 4, when I thought to myself, 'Hey, that couch looks exactly like the one I'm sitting on. Oh crap, it is!' I remember the horror overcoming me when I realized the woman bent over that couch was my mother, and the guy giving it to her was my father. I instantly pulled my pants back up and vomited."
Timmy's parents, "Captain Throbberson" and "Gina Jiggles," as they were credited in the film, believe that their son needs to grow up and get over it.
"Tim's mother and I are completely comfortable with our sexuality. I think our son's a little scared he might learn a move or two from his old man."
While his family seems to be in turmoil, Timmy admits that future family gatherings will probably be a little uncomfortable. "Call me crazy, but it's going to be pretty hard trying to enjoy a nice Thanksgiving dinner knowing that your parents have probably done it all up and down the dining room table!"

Nothing much happened today, hunted ants and feffoid and got 2 globals... piles of ped of course
For the rest of the time I've been studying. I've finally found a course that really really really motivates/interests me, of course I think my other courses are cool too (except mathematical models) but this one really rocks: Developmental biology! ie. how do you get from a single cell to a complete organism.
Now a shocking confession:
Also I got myself a student job, and a controversial one I reckon. I'm working at the mouse facility of the lab of my prof developmental biology. I have to wean the mice: 3 weeks after birth the young mice are seperated from their parents, then I have to sex them (which means seperate the females from the males!), after which sometimes one group will be removed (gasified) and the remaining sex (or both when none have to be removed) have to be put into a new cage. Then I write down ther number of mice and their colors, they have to be distuingishable by eye so if there are many mice of the same color I have to cut a little piece out of their ears. I also have to cut the last tip from the tails which will have to go to the lab for genotyping the mice (ie determing their DNA-type sort of).
It thought a lot about it before I applied for the job. You already know I'm a WWF member and thus this might seem as a huge contradiction (or it simply is).
First off, I'm strongly against all forms of animal torturing. For instance stuffing the livers of gooses is unacceptable for me or the testing of beauty products on animals. Still my opinions on animal testing for science is different, to be clear I'm not totally in favour of it, but I think the advantage(s) are bigger then the disadvantage(s). Mice (as as xenopus, c elegans, chicken, humans?) are absolutely essential for scientific research in many areas, without research on them many people would die from the most stupid diseases and we wouldn't be making (as much) progress in many many other fields, ultimatly developing drugs for both animals and man. So by sacrificing animals, we save others. There lies the moral question. I've thought long about this and for me personally the advantages are bigger, although I wish the mice didn't have to be killed/made sick etc.
Keep in mind the mice do not suffer from being in the facility as such! I can't go inside the lab without protective clothing and spraying my hands with 70%ethanol (alcohol) and we work with LAF's 99% guarantueing a complety germ-free work environment. The mice are treated as if they were staying at a Hilton-hotel. Also they don't suffer from the cutting of their ears/tails, they don't even squeek and it doesn't bleed at all. It's like a scratch for them.
When people tell me how wrong they think animal testing is, I always reply to them: Do you still think it's so wrong if because of it cancer/AIDS/tuberculosis etc. will be curable because of it? Research in these fields uses mice or other model organisms frequently.
Opinions in PM are welcome!

School started again. Classes/labs and work every day from 8am to 5pm pff So my PE playing will be very limited for the next 6 weeks. Oh well I'm sure I'll have half the day off now and then to catch up.
I am among those who think that science has great beauty. A scientist in his laboratory is not only a technician: he is also a child placed before natural phenomena which impress him like a fairy tale.

Hunted a bit in the afternoon (finished my lab early so time for PE)... got 2 nice globals one 222ped ant which contained a fap80 and a 103ped bot which contained a pile of sweet ped.
Spent the evening watching football (or soccer whatever ), champions league QF were on...
And that's it!

I'm very very busy irl atm... so much work. Tonight I'm going to a beach-cocktail party though woo
Today a revisionist was sentenced by a Belgian court, he got one year jail. Not quite enough imho but mostly they only get warnings anyways.
Golden tip for any household:
Question: What do you do when you're girlfriend/wive comes out of the kitchen?
Answer: Shorten the chain!

Isn't that strange? The EU (or international community for that matter) sends observers everywhere. But when one of the biggest moral leaders of this world has to be elected we don't care about democracy or the will of the majority. Benedict XVI doesn't seem like good news for the progressive people. Future will tell I guess...

Some entertaining quotes I stumbled acros
God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh. Voltaire
I have the simplest of tastes. I am always satisfied with the best. Oscar Wilde
People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use. Kierkegaard
