Putin will destroy you.

 Russian President Vladimir V. Putin.

If you look at this photograph long enough Russian President Vladimir V. Putin will control your mind.  And for those of you wondering, yes, the V. in his name does indeed stand for Victory.

Putin is a little upset that we seem to be messing with his election system more than we should.  He’s probably right but do we really have any choice.  If you were to envision the perfect ‘bad guy’ Putin would be it.  He controls one of the largest countries on the planet.  He has a nuclear arsenal at his disposal.  And he knows Judo.

Defend yourself!

It’s about time some one has written an article about how to defend yourself against vicious monkeys. There have been too many close calls in the past year to let this unchecked aggression continue. Just this week Monkeys made an attempt to over throw the government of New Dehli, India by assassinating the Deputy Mayor. This monkey rebellion in India goes much further.

Over 10,000 monkeys have taken to the streets and government buildings, attacking citizens and destroying government records. These monkeys are getting more brazen with time. From 2001:

At least 10,000 monkeys are creating havoc in the Indian capital by barging into government offices, stealing food, threatening bureaucrats and even ripping apart valuable documents.

Why are monkeys threatening bureaucrats?

About Pirates.

You can find various tidbits about Pirates here.  My favorite is the whole notion of a ‘plank’ to walk:

Few (if any) pirate ships ever used “the plank.” When pirates took over a ship, they usually let the captured crewmembers choose between joining the pirate crew or jumping overboard. Why go to all the trouble of setting up a plank to walk off? As historian Hugh Rankin put it: “The formality of a plank seems a bit absurd when it was so much easier just to toss a prisoner overboard.”

What so called Historian Hugh Rankin doesn’t take into account is that everything about great piracy is purley a formality.  From looting and murdering to the clothes they wear.

Completely formal.  Just like the Vikings.
