"Britain's Hunt for Child Pornography Users Nets Hundreds Besides Pete Townshend. More than 1,300 people have been arrested in Britain in the past 10 months as part of a nationwide hunt for users of child Internet pornography."

And they should have their knackers cut off.

"The Voynich Manuscript. The most mysterious manuscript in the world. The Voynich Manuscript is 235 page manuscript written in a cipher that has yet to be decoded. The manuscript includes many images. Almost all pages of the manuscript are available online. There have also been several books (1,2)written claiming to solve the manuscript. You can also follow the modern day progress of deciphering the Voynich manuscript."

Saw a program about this, so this is just for my memory... I think it's a fake from 500 years ago, but I could be worng... Spooky.

"Q Ari, another question on the timing. How can there not be a timetable? How can time be running out if there's not a timetable? I don't get it.

MR. FLEISCHER: Because as you repeatedly asked me in the past, what exactly is the timetable? And I've said in the past, that's something Saddam Hussein will have to figure out.

Q Right, but now you say that time is running out.

MR. FLEISCHER: That's correct."

Now that's red hair! Esme Gorgeous!
And Bradley' sense of dress, look at those wellies, and why is he wearing his hat like that? I don't know kids these days. I came home for some dinner and find them out in the garden, Esme needing to find the spades so she can dig up worms and Bradley tagging along waiting for trouble to happen.

"But if there is no Mitzna separation, by 2010 there will be more Palestinians than Jews living in Israel and the occupied territories. Then Israel will have three options: The Israelis will control this whole area by apartheid, or they will control it by expelling Palestinians, or they will grant Palestinians the right to vote and it will no longer be a Jewish state. Whichever way it goes, it will mean the end of Israel as a Jewish democracy."

Interesting article. With no answers, and none that I can see either, except the inevitable: grant Palestinians the right to vote -- no longer a Jewish state.
