1. Meeting the in-laws this weekend. The ones not yet at home with TBFTB's lifestyle. Hmmm sounds like I'm in for a ripper weekend. :(
2. After a comment left by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) monkeygirldiva i went back and rechecked the blog in space term & conditions. Here's my favourite bit.
'Content

While Blog In Space supports Intergalactic Free Speech, Bloggers who use this site are urged to keep their blogs devoid of any overt language, comments or content designed to offend, taunt or provoke alien life forms in any way.

3. This just amused me for no reason. Part of my new job is to troll through papers from the pacific region and that includes local newspapers. I found this rather amusing in that the 'your say' section of most newspapers have regular contributors that get on solely to flame each other. Some of it is quiet amusing such as in The Canberra Times with comments by religious people such as GAT and some fellow called Graham Gibbon. I suspect that these two fellows solely get on there to cause trouble.
Any way I digress here is an amusing letter to the editor I found and relates to how most people in these forums seem to put the blame for every little thing wrong in the world onto Howard, Bush or Blair.

Who can I blame?
Islamist terrorists blew up two cars in markets and hotels in Egypt on Friday night, killing at least 59 people. Qataris, Kuwaitis and Egyptians were among the casualties.
Could someone please advise whether this attack was because of Iraq or the Israel-Palestinian conflict. It's my understanding that these two issues are the "root cause" of all Islamic terrorism, however this one has me stumped. Alternatively, is there a way I can blame John Howard, George Bush or Tony Blair for this? I'd hate to simply blame militant Islam, surely the answer is more complex than that.
