Two hurt in mock light sabre duelTwo Star Wars fans are in a critical condition in hospital after apparently trying to make light sabres by filling fluorescent light tubes with petrol. A man, aged 20, and a girl of 17 are believed to have been filming a mock duel when they poured fuel into two glass tubes and lit it. The pair were rushed to hospital after one of the devices exploded in woodland at Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. A third person present at the incident had been questioned, police said. Videotape found A videotape was found nearby by police called to the scene on Sunday. A police spokeswoman said the pair were taken to West Herts Hospital before being transferred to the specialist burns unit at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, in Essex. They are both said to be in a critical condition. She said the 17-year-old girl and a 20-year-old man from Hemel Hempstead suffered serious injuries. She added: "At this stage we are unable to confirm the exact circumstances, but glass tubes and traces of accelerant (flammable substance) were found at the scene." The final film in the Star Wars series, Revenge Of The Sith, arrived at UK cinemas last week. One of the crucial scenes features a light sabre battle between Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi and Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/beds/bucks/herts/4575291.stm

That is really cool. At first I thought that there was a basket ball cought in the hoop and they where trying to get it out. Imagin if the girl got stuck or if she missed the hoop, or one of te guys had a slinter in his toe that was affecting the may he threw the girl, of one guy had had concussion and sudely forgot what he was doing throwing a girl through a basketball hoop. Here is the winingness. Or if another guy had squashed his foot with his car that morning or if another guy had just gotten rid of a hangver and went on a high and threw the girl up so high that she hit the roof and flew to the moon.
Okay that was pointless, don't bother readin it again!

Registration is free. You can always try the link later... the site usually allows one or two random views of the site before requesting membership but as I said, random.

A subject close to my heart.... Teapot cult attackedJuly 18, 2005 - 3:23PM The headquarters of a bizarre Malaysian cult built around a giant teapot has been damaged by arsonists, two weeks after the sect was raided by religious officials. Assailants armed with Molotov c0cktails attacked the commune early today and set fire to structures there, The Star newspaper reported. The sect, which believes the teapot has healing properties, is in Malaysia's north-east - a strongly Muslim area that has suddenly lost patience with the sect. "There has been a small fire," firefighter Ahmad Fakarudin told Reuters, adding a car and the roof of a hall had been burnt. "The roof of the teapot structure is also slightly charred but since it is made of concrete, the damage is not extensive," he said. Police said there no reports of injuries. "We can confirm that there have been two reports of some people that went inside, destroying certain monuments, structures and replicas of buildings," Hussin Ismail, chief of police in Terengganu state, told Reuters. Mainly Muslim Malaysia has Islam as its state religion and tolerates other major religions, with large minorities of Christians, Hindus and Buddhists. State religious authorities have outlawed the "Sky Kingdom" teapot sect as a deviant cult. Its leader, Ayah Pin, claims to be divine and the "boss of all religions", according to a recent newspaper interview. Religious officials raided the commune this month and detained 21 followers, although Ayah Pin eluded arrest. Reuters www.smh.com.au/news/world/teapot-cult-attacked/2005/07/18/1121538908966.html |

US firm to send internet diaries into space
July 20, 2005 - 1:10AM
Sydney Morning Herald
Is there anybody out there? And if there is, what will alien lifeforms make of bloggers signed up to a new service to beam their online rantings into outer space?
"We are giving bloggers the opportunity to send a piece of their lives into space to potentially connect with extraterrestrials," said Ted Murphy, president and CEO of the Florida-based firm MindComet.
Blogosphere meet atmosphere: The free service, BloginSpace.com, will beam web feeds of blogs - weblogs, or personal Internet diaries - into deep space via a powerful satellite broadcast.
"I've always believed that other intelligent life forms are out there, and now, for the first time, they will be able to peer into the life of average Homo sapiens," Murphy said.
Human beings have been sending television and radio signals into space for decades, packed with images of war and anger. MindComet wants to offer any alien beings a new way of looking at Earth.
"This program gives us the opportunity to show our race in a different light," Murphy said.
But bloggers beware: Extraterrestrials could have sensitive ears, and online perorations should be suitable for an alien family audience, devoid of risque or explicit content.
"We strongly urge our users to refrain from language or content designed to provoke our alien neighbours," Murphy said.

Austrian 'Hogwarts' booming
A Hogwarts-style college in Austria says applications have gone through the roof since the release of the sixth Harry Potter book.
Students at the college in Klagenfurt take a six-semester course in "all things related to witchcraft and wizardry by scientific methods" to earn a Veneficus Certificate.
School headmaster and grand wizard Dakaneth, also known as Andreas Starchel, said: "The phone has been ringing all the time since the new book came out."
Sorcerers' apprentices, aged 17 and above, who attend the school are taught astrology, magic, history of magic, meditation and divination.
Later they put their theoretical studies into practice: preparing potions, making talismans and performing rituals.
The school's website offers courses over the internet as well as a host of study aides like protective charms, aura cleansing incense, talismans, amulets, tarot cards and rune stones.

Potter star mobbed by Elijah fans Daniel Radcliffe has revealed that Australian fans think he is Lord of the Rings hero Elijah Wood. Daniel, who plays Harry Potter, said: "So often people shout out, 'Hey Frodo!' as they think I'm Elijah - who frankly is a very good-looking guy so I take it as a compliment. "I admit when a couple of people have put autograph books under my nose I've signed them, 'Much love Elijah Wood'. It would be a bit deflating for me if I told the truth and they said, 'Don't bother signing it then'." Daniel is currently in Australia filming December Boys. He plays an orphan fighting for his adoptive parents' attention in the film reports The Sun. |
