Stories I found interesting:
Well.... My theory about the Cloverfield monster just got a kick in the nuts. The director of the film spilled the beans in this interview that this monster was only "a baby" acting scared and confused. Which frankly just sucks... Today it was announced that the sequel has already been given the green light. Now I am curious what it will be like. I am however also very apprehensive about which direction the film makers will take the story in.

For those of you who thought the US government covering its ass and not taking responsibility for its actions was something George Bush invented. Here's a story from CNN about how the Army Core of Engineers, who built and were responsible for the maintenance of the levees around New Orleans (You know... the ones that broke and left 80% of the city under water), are "protected by the Flood Control Act of 1928. [Which] shields the federal government from liability when flood control projects fail."
Great... so it was their responsibility... it was their fault the levees weren't properly maintained (or even up to the required standard!)... but they can't be held accountable for the fact that they failed.
Don't you just love the legal system sometimes.

Naked Women are on strike in Italy.

The French police have dumped Microsoft..
Interesting... I wonder if any more large (public) organizations will follow. Finally end the monopoly of Windows.

Not really news, but while the rest of the world waits to find out what caused the death of Heath Ledger, the man who directed him in the up coming Dark Knight film, Christopher Nolan, paid tribute to him in Newsweek.

There aren't many actors who can make you feel ashamed of how often you complain about doing the best job in the world. Heath was one of them.
Read the whole story here. It really is heart breaking.
Over een weekje ofzo naar het asiel, kijken of er een zelfde soort lieverd tussen zit.
