When Idiots and/or Fanatics Get "The Bomb" -- A Hilarious End to Your World and Mine !!
|
G'Day All --
Every nation and culture has its own idiot and fanatic fringe groups. Under normal circumstances, they are relatively ineffectual, and tend to be ignored by most rational people.
But we live in a time when, for various reasons, both idiots and fanatics have managed to acquire substantial political and/or financial power, and are therefore in a position to become really dangerous -- both to themselves and everyone else.
Below is a hilarious Flash presentation (in English) that illustrates what is likely to happen to your world and mine when either idiots and/or fanatics manage to gain unrestrained control over "The Bomb."
It takes awhile to load, unless you have a high speed connection and 'Net traffic is at a moderate level. Sound capability is needed for full appreciation.
Be advised that, although quite funny, there is a substantial amount of profanity -- don't access the site if you are easily offended. Otherwise, enjoy -- its a hoot !!

The Key to World Peace and Friendship -- Shakespearean Insults !!
|
G'Day All --
We seem to live in a semi-civilized time when people who believe they have been offended for one reason or another feel honor-bound to beat up the offending person, burn down his house, or blow up his place of religious worship.
Couldn't we find some less extreme ways of gaining satisfaction ??
As one alternative, let me suggest the very effective and satisfying alternative of Shakespearean Insults. They're the best way I know of to respond to someone who has given offense.
The "Official Shakespearean Insult Kit," that will enable you to custom generate an absolutely devastating reply to any offense, can be found at:
http://www.petelevin.com/shakespeare.htm
Then, after each person has finished insulting the other, everybody can go have a cup of coffee, relax, and laugh about it.
Doesn't seem like a bad idea to me. What do you think ??
Best wishes to all, Dave Matthews

A "Treasure-House" of Classical Art on the Web -- The Art Renewal Center
|
G'Day All --
As I'm sure you already know, there are several great art galleries on the Web.
Paradoxically, some of the world's best "brick and mortar" galleries are very stingy with their on-line offerings -- apparently believing that their collections are proprietary in nature, and only to be shared with the world-at-large as thumbnail size images. What a shame !!
In any case, one of the best on-line collections of classical art (no cubism abstract, or "modern" works here -- eat your heart out Picasso !!) is the Art Renewal Center, at:
http://www.artrenewal.org
Click on the "Museum" heading, decide whether to begin with an artist's name or nationality, and prepare to spend as much time as you have available exploring the world's great artistic masterworks.
Have fun !! If you can recommend other great on-line art collections (forget the stingy kind !!) please share them with the rest of us.
Best wishes, Dave Matthews
