first up is this interesting bit of news thats been making its way around the net. a u.s. researcher has claimed that hes found the lost city of atlantis<\/a>. robert sarmast, an architect by training, claims (pretty confidently) that his use of side-scanning sonar has detected man-made walls just southeast of cyprus that fit platos description of atlantis. the areas long been speculated as a likely location if atlantis did indeed exist\u2026due primarily to platos descriptions of the \u201cpillars of hercules<\/i>\u201c, thought to be the straits of gibraltar, so its not surprising that sarmast wouldve focused his search in the area. whats interesting tho is really just how confident he sounds. i mean, he sounds like hes motherfucking leo dicaprio and king of the world. word bobby\u2026more power to ya. still tho, whether this is genuine or not, or if atlantis could ever be definitively \u201cfound\u201d, i think its interesting that theres just so much of human civilization thats relatively unknown, that it becomes the stuff of myths and legends. troy, the tower of babel, middle-earth and hobbits<\/a>\u2026recorded history as well as the things that fell between the cracks make for interesting lore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

yay\u2026a follow-up to a prior post<\/a>. the bbc has an interesting article<\/a> on the worldwide exposure sorryeverybody.com<\/a> has gotten since it went live, as well as opposing sites that have been cropping up as a result. sites such as werenotsorry.com<\/a>, which incidentally doesnt seem to be working, but its just as well. the bbc conveniently provided an accompanying picture of someone from werenotsorry.com\u2026some dude holding up a sign and sporting what appears to be a civil war-era cavalry hat. its not definitively confederate (it actually looks blue), but way to look like a honky\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the english language is currently getting fucked up majorly, thanks to people like king george the retarded, and surprisingly tony blair too\u2026according to john humphrys new book, \u201clost for words<\/a>\u201c. a leading british political journalist, humphrys book elaborates not only on bushs brutal destruction of proper english (misunderestimate? ouch), but also the prevalence of \u201cmanagement speak\u2026meaningless phrases and hackneyed mantras to disguise policies or protect themselves from accountability.<\/i>\u201d he also specifically points out tony blairs fascinating habit of leaving out verbs in his speeches\u2026\u201dfor our young people, a brighter future<\/i>,\u201d and \u201cthe age of achievement, at home and abroad<\/i>\u201c. word, those sound like corporate mission statements\u2026or cheesy chinese mao-era catch phrases sung by choirs of 10-year olds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
