Dutch people love automated machines: you can get cash, food, tooth brushes and condoms from the wall. But the southern Dutch city of Tilburg has gone one step further: a machine stocked with vibrators. The city council's building inspectorate was initially sceptical about the desirability of the machine, news agency ANP reported, but gave it the go ahead after it was made child-proof.

Seven people have killed themselves within hours of each other in Japan in the latest round of suicides committed after pacts made on the internet.
Four people in their 20s and 30s were found dead in a car in a mountainside parking lot in Tochigi prefecture late on Monday. Shortly before 10am yesterday, the bodies of three people, including a 14-year-old girl, were found 30 miles away inside a car parked on a dry riverbed.

Businesses and private users are failing properly to delete sensitive information stored on their computers before the machines are sold on. This has made the burgeoning trade in secondhand computer parts a potential treasure trove for blackmailers, paedophiles and fraudsters.

BREAKING DUMB LAWS, THE BELL WITCH, JAPANESE VIRTUAL GIRLFRIEND, JUMP TO SAVE THE WORLD, UFO'S TO FILL THE SKIES!
You gotta love these folks: As US coast-to-coast crimewaves go, it is not in the league of Bonnie and Clyde. It lacks both violence and avarice and is further hindered by an overabundance of pre-publicity. Undeterred, a couple of students from Cornwall are intent on making American criminal history by spending their summer breaking as many US laws as possible. Starting in the liberal state of California, they hope to evade the attention of local police officers when they ride a bike in a swimming pool and curse on a crazy-golf course. In the far more conservative - and landlocked - state of Utah, they will risk the penitentiary when they hire a boat and attempt to go whale-hunting. I hope they do a blog!

Americans responded to the lure of the paranormal in droves, making “The Sixth Sense” and “The Blair Witch Project” box office hits and proving, once again, that our fascination with things that go bump in the night often makes our wallets go bump in our pockets. And, as logic would have it, interest in true-to-life, documented hauntings has grown considerably over the last few years. One such haunting that has come to light in recent years is the so-called “Bell Witch,” a sinister entity that tormented a family on Tennessee’s frontier between the years of 1817 and 1821.

Tod Rex Salvador, who goes by the stage name Tripp Eisen, a guitarist for STATIC-X, was apprehended Thursday in Orange County, Calif. by two detectives from New Jersey, authorities said. Salvador, of Burbank, Calif., was charged with kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault, luring to entice a minor through the Internet and endangering the welfare of a child. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 30 years in prison on the kidnapping charge alone. http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=33428
James Finn is not a person who makes predictions as a rule, however, he feels strongly about the 21st of March 2006 being the possible starting date of the next "superwave" event. In each case the "event" is preceded by the arrival of the "Star People" who will "rescue" many of the planet's inhabitants.
He says "My position on this "date" is that I would rather be wrong and say something about it, than be right and say nothing about it, because I wasn't sure.

Surf w/ You- As Elvis!, Cosplay
GOVERNMENT TO GO AFTER PAY TV, MISS AMERICA GOES REALITY SHOW, COSPLAY'S NEXT STEP, WENDY'S WORLD!
Despite the scandalous move a few years back allowing Miss America contestants to wear nearly itsy-bitsy bikinis, the pageant's ratings have been colder than the winner's dip during her ritual ocean frolic. Last year, ABC dropped the show completely after abysmally low viewership. But the annual scholarship contest (thinly disguised as a babe parade) may be on the verge of an extreme makeover.
The New York Post reports that the pageant has signed a deal with the William Morris agency and plans to come back to the boob tube as a reality show! For a series of six or seven episodes, film crews will train their ruthless lenses on contestants in regional competitions - think "Miss Congeniality" meets "The Bachelorette" - as they hone their interview skills, tone their glutei, and cry with joy and/or despair on their way to the live finale.
Dollers are people who don't just wear the clothes and face mask of the animated character they dress up as, but try to live as the character as well.

LET’S ROCK AGAIN! is a one-hour music documentary following rock icon Joe Strummer as he tours across America and Japan.
After a montage of Strummer’s glorious past with the seminal rock band the Clash, we are treated to a slice of life eleven years later on the comeback trail.
Strummer’s main objective is simple -- to get his music out to the people and break his record even so that he can have another chance to rock again.
This is achieved through photo shoots, magazine interviews and press appearances. In his humble quest, we even see Joe handing out flyers on the boardwalk and making a blind visit to a radio station in order to get his latest cd on the air and attract fans to his concert.
Live performances feature songs from the Clash as well as material written with his new band, the Mescaleros.

BANNED OSCAR SONG, HUNTER S. THOMPSON'S WAKE, WORST SONGS OF 2004, PREACHING DOG, DON RICKLES IS COOL!
ABC executives have forced Robin Williams to drop a comic song from the Oscars show that might well have proved one of the sharpest, most political and raciest numbers of the broadcast, despite the fact that the network and the show's host, Chris Rock, have been promoting the night as anything but tame.
Williams, the presenter of the Academy Award for best animated feature, decided last week that his one minute on stage would be a prime time to lampoon a conservative critic James Dobson, whose group Focus on the Family last month criticized the cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants for appearing in a video about tolerance that the group called ``pro-homosexual.'' http://www.registerguard.com/news/2005/02/27/a20.nat.oscar.0227.html

Rock & roll has always been populated by fringe figures, cult artists that managed to develop a fanatical following because of their outsized quirks, but few cult rockers have ever been quite as weird, or beloved, as Ian Dury. As the leader of the underappreciated and ill-fated pub-rockers Kilburn & the High Roads, Dury cut a striking figure -- he remained handicapped from a childhood bout with polio, yet stalked the stage with dynamic charisma, spitting out music-hall numbers and rockers in his thick Cockney accent. Dury was 28 at the time he formed Kilburn, and once they disbanded, conventional wisdom would have suggested that he was far too old to become a pop star, but conventional wisdom never played much of a role in Dury's career. Signing with the fledgling indie label Stiff in 1978, Dury developed a strange fusion of music-hall, punk rock and disco that brought him to stardom in his native England. Driven by a warped sense of humor and a pulsating beat, singles like "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick," "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll" and "Reasons to Be Cheerful (Part 3)" became Top Ten hits in the U.K., yet Dury's most distinctive qualities -- his dry wit and wordplay, thick Cockney brogue, and fascination with music-hall -- kept him from gaining popularity outside of England. http://www.iandury.co.uk/Posted at 09:27 pm by Psychomike

At that time China and Japan were on the verge of war and the fledgling Chinese Air Force was beset by internal problems and torn between American and Italian influence. the result was The Flying Tigers!

WHEN GEOGE BUSH AND HUNTER THOMPSON PARTIED TOGETHER, DITA, HOW TO DEAL WITH CATASTROPHES!
Why do people overcommit? If your appointment book runneth over, it could mean one of two things: Either you are enviably popular or you make the same faulty assumptions about the future as everyone else. Psychological research points to the latter explanation. Research by two business-school professors reveals that people over-commit because we expect to have more time in the future than we have in the present. Of course, when tomorrow turns into today, we discover that we are too busy to do everything we promised. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/02/050211084233.htm

How accurately did Hunter S Thompson capture the distortions and reflections of the American dream? How influential was he? Send us your views and tributes. A great idea being done by the BBC.
There are far worse things we face than terror attacks. And Judge Posner is trying to get us to understand and deal with them. A truly remarkable new way of dealing with the unthinkable.
Catastrophes, whether natural or man-made, that could destroy the human race are often dismissed as alarmist or fanciful, the stuff of science fiction. In fact the risk of such disasters is real, and growing. A collision with an asteroid that might kill a quarter of humanity in 24 hours and the rest soon after; irreversible global warming that might flip, precipitating "snowball earth;" voraciously replicating nanomachines; a catastrophic accident in a particle accelerator that might reduce the earth to a hyperdense sphere 100 meters across; a pandemic of gene-spliced smallpox launched by bioterrorists; even conquest by superintelligent robots-all these potential extinction events, and others, are within the realm of the possible and warrant serious thought about assessment and prevention. They are attracting the concern of reputable scientists-but not of the general public or the nation's policymakers.

Most of us have experienced deja vu at least once in our lives - that uncomfortable feeling that you have been here in this place, in this situation before. There have been attempts at clearing up the phenomenon, which some people see as evidence for metempsychosis - the belief that after death the soul passes to another body, whether human or animal. One point of departure for researchers has been that a deja vu experience is linked to an experience in a dream that has been half or totally forgotten. http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=14&click_id=117&art_id=qw1108355223840B212
