"Spore" - a new type of game, wherein all content is player-created.

I think I want to play this one.

As long as it's not actually "multiplayer" to the point where people start using the planet-busters on bacteria.

American army lieutenant apologizes for murdering civilians in Iraq, sentenced to 45 days in prison and to pay $12000.

Reading from a statement, the West Point graduate said he has learned from his mistakes and has been forgiven by God. His actions, he said, "adversely affected U.S.-Iraqi trust during critical times of reconstruction."

"I hope to use these experiences for greater good," Saville said

Monday's deal included an agreement by Saville to testify against a higher-ranking officer accused of ordering him and other soldiers to execute certain Iraqi suspects if they caught them.

Saville said Capt. Matthew Cunningham, his company commander, gave him the names of five Iraqis who "were not to come back alive" if they were caught during a series of raids in Samarra on Jan. 3, 2004. [The man he killed and the one who survived] were not on the list.

For most of us in the west, the African mountain Kilimanjaro is known for two things: its summit is the point on the planet at which one can see more surface area of Earth than from any other location; and, although it sits close to the equator, its summit is perpetually shrouded in snow, a fact immortalized by Ernest Hemingway's 1938 short story, The Snows of Kilimanjaro.

Make that, "was perpetually shrouded."



Eleven thousand years of snow on the Shining Mountain.

Gone.

BLOOD DRIVE, WEDNESDAY MARCH 16.
That said, now that I'm over the twitch factor, I kinda want to store data on my platelets."

Do you like guns?

Do you like music?

Do you like russian chicks in camoflage bikinis?

Well, now you can have both guns and music with the new Kalashnikov AK-MP3 rifle-to-MP3-player conversion kit - and the pictures imply that the babes follow!

The AK-MP3 player is built into the body of the ammunition magazine of Kalashnikov automatic rifle.
The player can be used on its own, or it can be attached to the Kalashnikov machinegun instead of the ordinary magazine.

"This is our bit for World Peace," jokes one of the partners behind ABFF, ex-rock-star Andrey Koltakov (BONIFACIY). "Hopefully, from now on many Militants and Terrorists will use their AK47s to listen to music and audio books... They need to chill out and take it easy."
