POPSEurope's Weird Ways There are a few more fun things to be done in Europe, at the source. There's tons to do! Here in DK we have something called Sankt Hans Aften where we all head to the beach and build huge bonfires and burn funny effigies of witches on them and then we eat way too much and get way too drunk. It's a lot of fun. .:D Here's the posh song mentioned in the link, we try to sing (a tradition), but we're usually too drunk and it ends up a total travesty. We are just SO cultured here. *Enjoy* .:D "We Love Our Country"

POPSHuman Footprint This is about your life and what it all adds up to. One lifetime. How many apples will you eat? How many words will you speak? How many pints of milk will you consume? If you are an average Brit, (and I assume this goes for pretty much any western society) by the time you reach the age of two years old, you will have generated more CO2, than a Tanzanian does in his entire life time. Wow, eh? If you saved all the farts you ever made and burnt them off all at once, how big a fireball would that make? *LOL* There are some really cool, weird, disgusting and hilarious "averages" and facts in this movie. Pretty thought-provoking. Worth a gander, I reckon.

POPSClouds of Suspicion When clouds go bad. This basketball-sized cloud floated back and forth across the peak of the roof, changing in shape from a small globular mass to a larger ovoid and finally becoming an abstract, muticurved, dark, vaporous ‘something.'

POPSTop 10 Uses of an iPod You'd Never Expect I use it as a "people repellent". Together with a pair of dark glasses, I use it to avoid strangers talking to me on the train and so on, regardless of whether it's on or not. I use it to look preoccupied and to send the message "Don't bother me." Works like a charm. .;)

POPSCan We See Into the Future? Fact or myth? I find this stuff fascinating. When I checked out the display at Princeton, it was beeping and gonging like crazy. I wonder if that's a bad sign? :eek: http://noosphere.princeton.edu/bsktobsrv/nishith/basketobserver.html

POPS40-Foot Wall between US and Mexico Does anyone near the border have anymore info on this?!? Any truth to it? Sheesh... if it's true or even partially true, the whole article is probably one of the most frightening things I have read in a long time. Head for the hills everyone! :o)
