Russian hackers claim that the Japanese created a huge magnetic field in their stadium that bent the ball away from their goal in a potentially game-winning Russian penalty kick. In a story carried by the Russian newspaper Pravda, the Japanese are quoted as being “very inventive…they can make up very unusual things sometimes.” Talk about your weak excuses…
BBC soccer commentators, unaware that they were still on the air, called the Germans “fucking Krauts.” I think this is just hilarious.

In case you haven’t heard (and care), the new M&M color is purple.
Check out SongFacts, a great site with lots of information, trivia, and details on songs and their artists. It covers a surprising range of artists and time periods and engaged my low attention span for quite some time.
INXS is touring the US again for the first time since Michael Hutchence’s death. I wish them well, although it won’t be the same without him.
An asteroid came within 120,000 km of hitting the Earth last Friday, June 14th. That is well within the Moon’s orbit, only the 6th object ever recorded to have approached that closely, although other objects were much smaller. What is even more alarming is that the asteroid was not detected until three days later. The asteroid only had a diameter of 200-300 feet, but at a speed of 23,000 miles an hour it would have caused devastation comparable to the asteroid that struck Siberia in 1908. This is pretty scary when you think about it, especially when you realize that even if you could detect something this small, there is a “blind spot” caused by the Sun that could prevent us from ever finding objects in certain portions of the night sky.
If I didn’t know better, I would’ve thought that W came up with this, but apparently the EPA claims that “the Army Corps of Engineers’ dumping of toxic sludge into the Potomac River protects fish by forcing them to flee the polluted area and escape fishermen.” See? Pollution is good! Because otherwise it would be just like The Simpsons’ “Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish.” What morons.
British engineers with too much time on their hands have proven the feasibility of phones implanted into a tooth. Once again, I am compelled to point out the foresight of the movie Real Genius: “Owen, stop playing with yourself.” 🙂
