    You're a Budhist monk? Then you can't reincarnate without the chinese government approval.
    Edited to add that's the news is kind of old.

    Wind/electric car crosses Australia!

    "The car's battery pack is 8 kWh lithium-ion battery spread over 4 blocks and 14 cells. It can be fully charged overnight from the wind turbine. The turbine sits atop a 20 foot telescopic bamboo pole and has a max power of 1,000 watts. Fully charged, the vehicle has a range of about 124 miles.

    Test runs began in Perth around January 21 but the official journey started in Albany on the 26th, the southernmost point of the Australian mainland. The first 500 miles was all grid-powered but the Nullarbor Plain allowed for kite propulsion. This required one member to pilot the vehicle while the other held on to the large parasail-like kite. It is as difficult as it sounds as you can see in the video below.    "

    Hijacked newspaper boxes in Seattle highlight police violence

    Newspaper boxes in downtown Seattle were hijacked this week, The Slog reports, with display copies of The Seattle Times replaced to bear a new lead story, headlined "'We're killing everybody we can,' Seattle police declare." While The Stranger offers little context, the city's police have been involved in a series of controversies, including -- probably most prominently -- the Aug. 30, 2010, killing of a homeless wood carver. Police officer Ian Birk shot well-known carver John Williams after he told Williams three times to drop his whittling knife; Williams was partially deaf.

    Despite the fact that the world is an incredibly fucked up place, it's gotten extra silly lately. Thanks technology!

    I've seen that Old Men Lightsaber video all over, does someone that speaks French know what the actual argument was about?

    @Greasemonkey - the official journey started in Albany on the 26th, the southernmost point of the Australian mainland

    There is no way in hell Albany is the southernmost point of the Australian mainland.

    Yes, I have nothing to contribute apart from the fact that I'm a massive geographic pedant/douche :)

    Sobreiro : no idea why they're fighting, but at the beginning the guy taking the video said that they had called the cops and the guy's name is obviously Gérard :). At one point one said to the other that he had nothing to do here but that's all...

    Thanks, Oscillateur... Here's the actual unedited video, it seems the tractor man is blocking the way for some reason and is angry as hell, other than that...

    Angry as hell or drunk as hell?

    "There is no way in hell Albany is the southernmost point of the Australian mainland."

    Just quoting the article I'm referencing :-/

    Did you watch the video? That kite car footage was pretty hairy, dodging the kite over the top of tour buses along what appeared to be the Ayre Highway.

    Regardless of its flaws, wouldn't you just love to be on board?
