A Flash-based new game from Brian Mung: “That’s right, now you get to shoot nuns! And there’s a story to justify it so you don’t have to worry even if you are a Catholic. Actually, you probably do have to worry if you are Catholic, but you’ll be so busy worrying about so many other things, this shouldn’t rock the boat too much.” Enough talk. Get blasting.

Last Friday, Hans-Martin Tillack, correspondent for Stern in Brussels, was detained by Belgian police for ten hours while his home and office were searched. Mr Tillack’s sin, which caused him to be treated worse than a paedophile or mafioso?
He informed his reading public of irregularities within the EU. This reveals an unsettling disregard for transparency on the part of OLAF, who requested the search and detention of Mr Tillack, and scant regard for freedom and independence of the press on the part of the Belgian government and police. The IFJ have released a communique on the subject.

Finally revealed: what every macho geek really wants for his birthday. A Hello Kitty USB hub. “Hello Kitty will talk with you along with the input motion of the keyboard (moves both arms and head).

Additional clocks on computers are pretty stupid. Even if you don’t have a wristwatch, you would have to be pretty dense to miss the standard clock visible on Windows, Linux and the Mac. So why do people insist on displaying the time on their websites? Because it’s darn funky, that’s why. The Human Clock displays your local time of the day in a very human way—using humans. Check the time, and perhaps send them a photograph of your very own.

According to the Australian Sun-Herald, Aussie F/A-18 pilots refused to obey United States military orders on up to 40 bombing missions flown over Iraq. Squadron Leader Pudney cast doubt on the accuracy and moral foundation of the US instructions, stating that “if we were not 100 percent sure we were taking out a valid military target in accordance with our specifications we just did not drop.” Are we to assume that, under the same conditions, US fighter pilots did in fact drop their bombs?

The Republican National Committee have been warning television stations not to flight ads – critical of George W. Bush – from the MoveOn.org Voter Fund:
“As a broadcaster licensed by the Federal Communications Commission, you have a responsibility to the viewing public, and to your licensing agency, to refrain from complicity in any illegal activity,” said the RNC’s chief counsel, Jill Holtzman Vogel, in a letter sent to about 250 stations Friday. “Now that you have been apprised of the law, to prevent further violations of federal law, we urge you to remove these advertisements from your station’s broadcast rotation.”
