Намеренное введение в заблуждение
May. 3rd, 2006 07:26 amПросматриваю френдленту - там пост про интеллектуальную собственность, причём ругательски ругают Кинселлу, который, мол, подал на кого-то в суд за плагиат дамских романов. Э? Пригляделся - оказалось, не наш Кинселла, а какая-то тётенька, знаменитая писательница на заборе.

Двадцатый век (очевидное невероятное)
May. 3rd, 2006 08:48 amСегодня после обеда в Монтане пройдет церемония посмертной реабилитации неосторожных остряков, получивших в 1918 году тюремные сроки за трактирные шутки по поводу Кайзера и усилий первой мировой войны.
Montana's Sedition Act, passed in 1918 but since repealed, was one of the harshest in the country and a basis for a national sedition law passed the same year. Of those convicted, more than 40 were sent to state prison.
In one case, a 38-year-old traveling liquor salesman was arrested after he called wartime food regulations in the United States a "big joke" while talking with a Montana hotel owner in 1918. Less than a month later, he was in prison.
Another was a German immigrant who ended up serving two years in prison for suggesting that Americans "would have hard times" if Germany's kaiser "didn't get over here and rule this country."

Парадокс телезрителя
May. 3rd, 2006 11:29 amЧего только не узнаешь. Оказывается, last February, President Bush (республиканец) signed into law a requirement that all over-the-air broadcasters must switch from transmitting analog TV signals to digital TV by Feb. 17, 2009.
Shoppers may only have to sweat over the $1,500 price tag of a 32-inch LCD (liquid crystal display) TV set. Smallish production companies and independent TV stations, on the other hand, are fretting over HD cameras that can set them back $80,000.
Но чорт побери, Холмс... Зачем?!

А что, пока мы были отпуске, Мексика проиграла войну с наркотиками?!
Mexican President Vicente Fox will sign a bill that would legalize the use of nearly every drug and narcotic sold by the same Mexican cartels he's vowed to fight during his five years in office, a spokesman said Tuesday.
Per-person amounts approved for possession by anyone 18 or older could easily turn any college party into an all-nighter: half a gram of coke, a couple of Ecstasy pills, several doses of LSD, a few marijuana joints, a spoonful of heroin, 5 grams of opium and more than 2 pounds of peyote, the hallucinogenic cactus.
Наша страна, как обычно, плетется в хвосте.
