Came across a funny story today on the smh website. Its genius really.
Downtrodden employees of the world, take heart: a rebel hero walks among us. A man in his mid-40s, identified in reports only as "Bob", was a star programmer earning a six-figure salary at an American infrastructure company. When the company commissioned a network-security audit, they belatedly discovered that "Bob" had outsourced his own job to a Chinese software company for a fifth of his pay. Relieved of his workload, Bob would spend his entire office day on the internet, flicking from eBay to stuff to cat videos, before writing a progress-report email for his bosses and knocking off at 5pm. Sadly, upon finding out how resourcefully Bob had managed his own productivity, the firm sacked him rather than marvelling at his initiative and promoting him to senior management.

Chinese infiltrators in the US government want zombies to survive, so that they can be enslaved into preparing food at Chinese restaurants... the project codename is "Dead Men Wokking".

Cheney's Halliburton Made $39.5 Billion on Iraq War
The accounting of the financial cost of the nearly decade-long Iraq War will go on for years, but a recent analysis has shed light on the companies that made money off the war by providing support services as the privatization of what were former U.S. military operations rose to unprecedented levels.
Private or publicly listed firms received at least $138 billion of U.S. taxpayer money for government contracts for services that included providing private security, building infrastructure and feeding the troops.
Ten contractors received 52 percent of the funds, according to an analysis by the Financial Times that was published Tuesday.
The No. 1 recipient?
Houston-based energy-focused engineering and construction firm KBR, Inc. (NYSE:KBR), which was spun off from its parent, oilfield services provider Halliburton Co. (NYSE:HAL), in 2007.
The company was given $39.5 billion in Iraq-related contracts over the past decade, with many of the deals given without any bidding from competing firms, such as a $568-million contract renewal in 2010 to provide housing, meals, water and bathroom services to soldiers, a deal that led to a Justice Department lawsuit over alleged kickbacks, as reported by Bloomberg.
Who were Nos. 2 and 3?
Agility Logistics (KSE:AGLTY) of Kuwait and the state-owned Kuwait Petroleum Corp. Together, these firms garnered $13.5 billion of U.S. contracts.
As private enterprise entered the war zone at unprecedented levels, the amount of corruption ballooned, even if most contractors performed their duties as expected.
According to the bipartisan Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan, the level of corruption by defense contractors may be as high as $60 billion. Disciplined soldiers that would traditionally do many of the tasks are commissioned by private and publicly listed companies.
Even without the graft, the costs of paying for these services are higher than paying governement employees or soldiers to do them because of the profit motive involved. No-bid contracting - when companies get to name their price with no competing bid - didn't lower legitimate expenses. (Despite promises by President Barack Obama to reel in this habit, the trend toward granting favored companies federal contracts without considering competing bids continued to grow, by 9 percent last year, according to the Washington Post.)
Even though the military has largely pulled out of Iraq, private contractors remain on the ground and continue to reap U.S. government contracts. For example, the U.S. State Department estimates that taxpayers will dole out $3 billion to private guards for the government's sprawling embassy in Baghdad.
The costs of paying private and publicly listed war profiteers seem miniscule in light of the total bill for the war.
Last week, the Costs of War Project by the Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University said the war in Iraq cost $1.7 trillion dollars, not including the $490 billion in immediate benefits owed to veterans of the war and the lifetime benefits that will be owed to them or their next of kin.

Homeless man, 58, lives in town’s public toilet
Thursday, April 11, 2013
A 58-year-old man is living in a public toilet in Ennis, a court heard yesterday.
At the district court, Judge Patrick Durcan said it was a scandal.
Each night, chronic alcoholic Joseph Pavelka, a Czech, shares the council-owned public toilet with his friend Peter Baram, from Poland, in Ennis’s Market Street.
Mr Pavelka, who is homeless, was in court yesterday regarding five public order offences relating to falling down drunk in public places on three different dates in February and March of this year.
Judge Durcan was told that Mr Pavelka’s residency has lapsed and as a result no state agencies can provide him with assistance.
Solicitor for Mr Pavelka Daragh Hassett told the court his client “would be dead without the Church here in Ennis”.
The Probation Service lodged a report on Mr Pavelka for yesterday’s court and Judge Durcan said it made “dismal and sad reading”.
Judge Durcan said: “This man is living in a public toilet — that is a scandal.”
Mr Pavelka arrived in Ireland in 2007.
The man stayed for a period at a homeless centre for men at Laurel Lodge in Ennis, but must be in receipt of social welfare to remain there.
Mr Hassett said that Mr Pavelka drinks two bottles of vodka each day and pays for the drink from begging on Ennis’s streets.
He said: “It is very sad. “I don’t see him giving up drink, but I think he needs to cut down his drink and stay away from trouble. There are plenty of alcoholics in this county unfortunately, but they don’t all come into court.”
Mr Hassett added: “He has to cut down his drinking significantly. I accept that he is using up Garda resources. I am well aware of his sad tale.”
Mr Hassett said that Mr Pavelka’s lack of English would stop him from attending any alcohol treatment centres.
After being informed that Mr Pavelka needs habitual residency to avail of State services, Judge Durcan said: “That is balderdash, that is all officialdom. I get so irritated when I hear that.
“On the one hand, we are told we are part of the wonderful EU where we have equal rights of establishment. This is a case of a man who needs help and surely there are caring agencies of some kind in this town of Ennis who can help him.”
Judge Durcan told Insp Tom Kennedy: “I am not going to make order, inspector, in respect of these charges — I appreciate that this man may present difficulties but I can’t in good conscience make any order.
“This man needs help and I hope that there are sufficient services in this courtroom available and that there are people of good mind to help him.
“I will give this man every assistance and make every order that will help him if he is prepared to play a bit of ball.”
Judge Durcan said there was a religious order of sisters in Blarney that was willing to take in Mr Pavelka, but they were full at the moment.
“Repatriation back to the Czech Republic has been suggested, but for many people, it is not necessarily an option because there are a whole range of legacy issues that can not be understood here.”
Judge Durcan adjourned the case to May 1.

The first being Mrs Flannery's military tucking in of the 600 weight cotton sheets when she made the bed that morning, which created a near airtight seal
Not the poor guys fault.
Mr Flannery had neglected to remember that he had attended a long business lunch at an Indian restaurant on Brick Lane that day, at which he had consumed a dozen onion Bajees, eight Poppadom, six Samosas, and an extra large beef Vindaloo with garlic naan, all washed down with 8 pints of Guinness beer. The resulting trapped wind, which he released within a 6 inch proximity of Mrs Flannery's face, came in at around 6 litres gas of 95% methane by volume.

The incident began January 2, 2013 after David Eckert finished shopping at the Wal-Mart in Deming. According to a federal lawsuit, Eckert didn't make a complete stop at a stop sign coming out of the parking lot and was immediately stopped by law enforcement.
What Happened
While there, Eckert was subjected to repeated and humiliating forced medical procedures. A review of Eckert's medical records, which he released to KOB, and details in the lawsuit show the following happened:
1. Eckert's abdominal area was x-rayed; no narcotics were found.
2. Doctors then performed an exam of Eckert's anus with their fingers; no narcotics were found.
3. Doctors performed a second exam of Eckert's anus with their fingers; no narcotics were found.
4. Doctors penetrated Eckert's anus to insert an enema. Eckert was forced to defecate in front of doctors and police officers. Eckert watched as doctors searched his stool. No narcotics were found.
5. Doctors penetrated Eckert's anus to insert an enema a second time. Eckert was forced to defecate in front of doctors and police officers. Eckert watched as doctors searched his stool. No narcotics were found.
6. Doctors penetrated Eckert's anus to insert an enema a third time. Eckert was forced to defecate in front of doctors and police officers. Eckert watched as doctors searched his stool. No narcotics were found.
7. Doctors then x-rayed Eckert again; no narcotics were found.
8. Doctors prepared Eckert for surgery, sedated him, and then performed a colonoscopy where a scope with a camera was inserted into Eckert's anus, rectum, colon, and large intestines. No narcotics were found.
Throughout this ordeal, Eckert protested and never gave doctors at the Gila Regional Medical Center consent to perform any of these medical procedures.

Russian soldiers have turned to TV cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants in a bid to keep their spirits high while marching to the beat.
Despite temperatures dropping well below zero during the country’s winter months, Russia’s army personnel refuse to let the weather get them down.
One of the most popular marching songs in Russian army is SpongeBob Square Pants theme,’ it explains.
‘It is being used in lots of army units, both ground infantry and navy sailors use it while marching.
‘The real army captains got used to training their voices to match the SpongeBob’s captain’s voice when he asks “Are you ready children???”.’

Earl Sampson, 28, has been stopped by Miami Gardens police 258 times in four years, searched more than 100 times, and jailed 56 times at the store where he works for no reason.
A Florida police department is facing racial profiling charges after stopping a man 258 times and repeatedly charging him with trespassing at the convenience store where he works.
At least once a week for the last four years, Earl Sampson, 28, has been stopped by Miami Gardens police — and searched more than 100 times, jailed 56 times and arrested for trespassing 62 times, records show.http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/police-stop-man-258-times-charge-trespassing-work-article-1.1526422
During one of Sampson's arrests — Sampson being just one of Saleh's alleged employees and customers subjected to police harassment — he's seen refilling a cooler inside the store when an officer walks up beside him.
"They ask him, 'What are you doing here?'" recalled Saleh. "He said, 'I work here.' The clerk said he works here. I said, 'I'm the owner, let him go. I work here.' The officer said, 'Yeah right.'
"So he has more power than me!"
According to Saleh, it doesn't stop there.
In addition to video appearing to show Sampson being grabbed by an officer while taking out the trash and at another time searched against a wall, Saleh accuses them of searching throughout his store without a warrant.

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/physicists-discover-clearest-evidence-yet-that-the-universe-is-a-hologram-9000748.html
the theory that the three dimensions we perceive are actually just “painted” onto the cosmological horizon - the boundary of the known universe.
If this sounds paradoxical, try to imagine a holographic picture that changes as you move it. Although the picture is two dimensional, observing it from different locations creates the illusion that it is 3D.
This model of the universe helps explain some inconsistencies between general relativity (Einstein’s theory) and quantum physics. Although Einstein’s work underpins much of modern physics, at certain extremes (such as in the middle of a black hole) the principles he outlined break down and the laws of quantum physics take over.

Now that was an interesting story. Just spoke to a mate and said that he read about it on stuff and said the rats were living off the carcasses of the dead human passengers on board.
I asked him how he came to that conclusion and he said the report stated there are cannibal rats on board. I quickly corrected him and said that the term cannibal refers to eating your own kind and not human flesh.. to which a very long "ahhhhhhh" came from his mouth.
I then asked him if he knew how Taylor Petrenko was going. ;D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibiru_cataclysm
Those who’d come from Nibiru had originally been considered angels, called “Watchers”. (These Watchers could have been extraterrestrials). Two-hundred Watchers had broken their vow to God, (“the most Holy, High and Great One”), by taking bodily form to have sex with humans.
Once on Earth the fallen, watching angels, (who it seems could shape-shift), became increasing vile. They had sex with animals, (including birds), drank blood, ate humans and taught mankind things they’d been forbidden to. (Which would explain, among other things, how civilizations had been able to do some of the mindblowing things they had thousands of years ago, like cut and lift 1,000-ton blocks, chart planets and build pyramids).
Human offspring of the fallen angels became giants, (Nephilim, “those who came down”), or even monsters. It had been the corruption caused by these former angels (or evil extraterrestrials), that provoked the Biblical flood, to wipe them and their influence off the face of the planet.

I bet someone pulled this report out of the round filing cabinet. If He was alive after the war and escaped to Argentina then I am Eva Braun's Zimmer Frame.

So "chase" cartoons were a pretty big thing back in the day, but they were all really repetitive. Cat versus mouse. Mouse wins because cats are stupid. Same old same old.
So WB are brainstorming about a way to deconstruct this model, and try to pick out the STUPIDIST pair of animals to chase one another.
"A pangolin and a crocodile!"
"A raccoon and a walrus!"
"A roadrunner and a coyote!"
So, as they were writing, they decided to change the dynamic. Instead of cat versus mouse, or rabbit versus hunter, they took a different route...
Example. Coyote is at the edge of a cliff where the road just runs off into the abyss. He sees Roadrunner come zooming down in the distance, and hatches a plan.
He quickly and cartoonly paints a big fake picture of the road continuing onwards and places it at the edge of the cliff. He expects RR to come flying in, run into the paper, and fall to his death.
However, when RR comes along, he runs into the painting, and disappears into the horizon.
Coyote looks into the camera, smiles, and chases RR into the painting too.... But falls through and plummets to the ground.
He picks himself up, looks into the camera, and just shrugs, as if to say, "what else did I expect?'
You see, you can't empathise with a mouse outwitting a stupid cat, or a wise-cracking rabbit dancing intellectual circles around a moron, but we all feel for the coyote. His is not a story of coyote versus roadrunner, but if coyote versus the universe. No matter how hard he tries, the world just changes it's laws to turn things against him. He goes to drop a rock off a cliff to land on the RR, but as he anticipates the crash, nothing happens. There's silence... until the boulder comes falling down from the sky and crushes him.
And that's something we can all relate to.

Quite profound but how is it relevant to this thread? Are you suggesting that the posts in this thread are about the universe screwing with people and not the fact that some people are just born stupid?

Mate of mine who works there tells me it is 100% certain a fake.
-
Interesting TBR, rumours starting to circulate it was a hoax
-
yeah i did wonder why no names came out in the media.
-
I'm hearing not so much of a hoax as a prank, ie someone who wants to bait the media into covering a story.

....and he has the splinters in his ass to prove it!
