DRIVE-BY TMI // 01

1st up - Jesus' Prince-O-Peacemobile. vroom vroom!

I think its very inconsiderate of this car owner to have not one but two (2) window bumpers asking you to flip through the Old Testament twice: first when reading it from your rear-view mirror then again when the bastard cuts you off.

How is anyone going to be saved with this new brand of 'mobile evangelism'? tsk tsk. what happened to slipping pamphlets through a car's cracked window in the local mega parking lot? evangelism has indeed lost its intimacy.

* oh wait, right. they got the Lord Approved 'FORGVIN1' tag. FREE PASS EVERYONE, FREE PASS! red lights and stop signs? puh leez.

B.O.M.B.A. - the acronym.
c'mon now. now you have a big-ass secret on a big ass rear windshield.

Better Off Masturbating Beneath A-train

Oh c'mon c'mon! pick a side, comrade! so, you honk & honk & honk & honk until i let you by and then you apologize for being an asshole?

You should just drive in reverse to avoid a whole lotta confusion.

thanks

Another reason to be a proud Norwegian

Norway has initiated and financed the opening of the Svalbard global seed vault, a.k.a. the "doomsday vault" and "Noahs arch". The facility is available to the entire world and the concept is to secure seeds from all over the world in case of a global crisis. Countries from all over the globe have sent their most treasured seeds, like rice, wheat, lettuce, potato etc. etc.

And if you're wondering, like the CNN anchor was, why they chose this "hell forsaken" place - the answer is in the video.

The setting is almost right out of a James Bond movie.

Step-Uncle Sam can relax now

Step one of my VISA medical exams required me to have an x-ray taken of my chest area to prove I won't bring tuberculosis to the U.S . Turns out I'm as healthy as can be. Surprise, surprise...
