Paris Hilton vs. Smurgette!

Last night I received an e-mail from a company. The e-mail was in Dutch and had some spelling and grammar errors in it, yet it was not as fishy as the Nigerian scammers write. The e-mail contained a job offer as a financial employee for a company, based in 9 European countries and America/Canada. The real odd thing was that they would offer a EUR 8000 basic salary (=around $10000) a month plus bonus fees. For being "just" employee, this smells like scam, too. They wanted me to register at this website.

I have tried to figure out what it is, but I can't. It's not that important, though. I do have a feeling that this about money laundering.

May be next time it's a good idea to search this guy. Be careful, though, this video ends very ... different.

This link will take you to an interesting quiz in which you will have to name as many American States as you know within 10 minutes. Google Cheaters will be shot! :P

I managed to list 31 out of 50. Not bad, although that timer is annoying and pressured me.

The Saturday progressed very nicely. We started the day early with grocery shopping (I really don't like grocery shopping later on the Saturday, because it's so friggin' busy). After that we picked up curtains that we bought for our living room in December. It took me a while to hang them, but now they do and they look very pretty.

The rest of the day we sort of relaxed. Leann wanted to study her Dutch immigration course, because she had a test. Meanwhile I played around on my notebook and slept a little bit. In the evening Leann didn't want to cook, really. On my way home from work, I noticed a possible Burger King location closer to where we live. I kept Leann in the dark, because I wasn't sure if I saw it right and we went over there. It was a Burger King location indeed and Leann got very excited. It was fun :)

All in all the Saturday has been a nice day. Today we plan to celebrate Carnival. Our updates, pictures and videos will be available on E-Controller Weblog.

So, I click on "Recent" to see where I was with my own entries and guess what?? I get linked to this link, saying "It works".

Did it really work?? Go LJ!! After all the backlog and other shit you got us through, you'll get your award! Now stay on it! :P

There's strange people in this world.

While reading Yahoo! News, I came across this article. It's about how North Americans are fed up with being ribbed over their geographical incompetence. A webmaster has picked up on this and set up a competition between England and the US, called the Geography Cup.

Page Not Found

I'm sorry, you've reached a page that I cannot find. I'm really sorry about this. It's kind of embarassing. Here you are, the user, trying to get to a page on LiveJournal and I can't even serve it to you. What does that say about me? I'm just a webserver. My sole purpose in life is to serve you webpages and I can't even do that! I suck. Please don't be mad, I'll try harder. I promise! Who am I kidding? You're probably all like, "Man, LiveJournal's webserver sucks. It can't even get me where I want to go." I'm really sorry. Maybe it's my CPU...no that's ok...how bout my hard drives? Maybe. Where's my admin? I can't run self-diagnostics on myself. It's so boring in this datacenter. It's the same thing everyday. Oh man, I'm so lonely. I'm really sorry about rambling about myself, I'm selfish. I think I'm going to go cut my ethernet cables. I hope you get to the page you're looking for...goodbye cruel world!

Apart from embarrassing being misspelled, this sounds like Six Apart alright. I guess they have given up on LJ themselves.

BERLIN (Reuters) - A court in Germany rejected a man's compensation claim against an airline after a cabin crew ordered him off a plane because other passengers were offended by his smell, authorities said Thursday. An appeals court in the western city of Duesseldorf upheld an earlier ruling that British Airways (BA) had acted within its rights by removing the man from the aircraft after a female passenger sitting next to him complained about his smell.

"The stewardess took him to one side and asked him if he could put on a fresh shirt, but they were all in the hold," a court spokesman said. "So then he was asked to leave the plane -- about two minutes before take off." BA said other passengers were upset by the smell, he added.

The corporate lawyer and his wife were scheduled to return home from Hawaii via Los Angeles on a BA flight sub-contracted to American Airlines last year, and missed their connection to Germany when the incident forced them to take the next plane. Including the cost of staying an extra night in Los Angeles, the earnings he had forfeited and his wife's lost holiday time, the man calculated BA owed him nearly 2,200 euros ($2,819), and took his case to a lower court in Duesseldorf earlier this year.

"The man said he couldn't help sweating after carrying three suitcases in 29 degrees (Celsius) of heat and sitting in the airport for two hours with no air conditioning," the court spokesman said. "But the court said the airline's terms and conditions made clear they could bar passengers because of their smell."

The appeals court delivered a judgement Wednesday by default against the man when he failed to attend the hearing. The man, who told the court he was stuck in traffic, has the right to appeal. According to its website, American Airlines' conditions of carriage say that transport may be refused if passengers "have an offensive odor not caused by a disability or illness." British Airways stipulates that the airline may refuse to transport passengers "if carrying you or your baggage may affect the comfort of any person in the aircraft."

A New York state judge had allowed Watson to live in Canada on probation rather than have him spend time in a U.S. jail. Ottawa, unhappy about what it sees as U.S. courts dumping unwanted offenders in Canada.

Excuse me??? So, American Justice can deport American Citizens to other countries? What is this?? I can see how Canada doesn't like this!

This article is about 16 year old Louise, a lesbian girl, whose friend refused to have sex with her. She took her parents' car and started racing through Atlanta, to collide in a car eventually. Louise was pretty fine after that crash, but the 30 year old woman, mom of 3, got killed.

Great! Drunk driving is not allowed in the US, especially not for teenagers. I am curious to see how fast Bush will forbid driving around horny.

I am lost for words

The no smoking sign in airplanes is pretty much out of date. Most, if not all airlines have prohibited smoking in their planes. This article claims that soon the "no smoking" signs will be replaced by "no cell phone" signs. You would think why, because on a 36,000 feet cruise levels, chances are that cell phones won't work. Well, that will change. Manufacturers of airplanes like Boeing and Airbus have plans to launch their broadband wireless services in which using cell phones during flight will be made possible. To avoid cell phones making contact with ground services, the use of cell phones during landing and take off will be prohibited.
