I hope the kids parents gave him a double time out for this and take away his TV privileges for at least three days.

About the Iranian ship:
The thing we really need to be worried about is that it was heading for Amsterdam.
It gives me the same uncomfortable feeling that I had when I was walking on top of the roof of Schiphol (Amsterdam) airport and noticing an Iran Air airplane there. Sorry but I don't feel comfortable about planes from such countries flying around here. But then again, we've got a number of F16's always on standby.
About the passport hacking:
That's the system that was forced upon us by the US government right ?
Feels very safe !

Lol yeah, it was supposed to be carrying "iron ore" from China to Amsterdam. Maybe it stopped in Iran somewhere along the way already?

I'd say American airplanes are more dangerous. They're the one who get hijacked or blown up most aren't they?
A few weeks ago a couple of Apache helicopters came thundering over my house. On their way to Schiphol. That's an eerie sight too.

I thought the EU was behind that? Although I guess the US is pushing to get it implemented quickly.
I would assume the US passport can be hacked just as easily. Actually, the US seem to rely on even less secure measures (for foreigners entering the country). They took my fingerprint last time I was there. If there is something that's easy to hack then it's a fingerprint scanner.

The Ig Nobel award goes to a researcher who found out that Coca Cola is a spermicide and that it kills the AIDS virus.
Yahoo News: Spermicide Coke, stale chips research wins Ig Nobels
--- Quote ---Deborah Anderson of Boston University Medical Center and colleagues were awarded the chemistry prize for a 1985 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine that found Coca-Cola kills sperm.
She said she was serious in testing the soft drink because women were using it in a ---meecrob--- as a contraceptive and, later, to try to protect themselves from the AIDS virus.

Not sure why they would award the prize for a study published in 1985 though.
--- Quote ---Other winners included physicists who found out that anything that can tangle, will tangle and a team of biologists who ascertained that dog fleas jump farther than cat fleas.

That's whacky research ;D
More "scientific research"; Chinese zoo keepers are feeding the Panda's chicken soup to help them regain their strength and get ready for colder weather. Guess my grandma was right about the chicken soup after all :P
AP: Chinese pandas fed chicken soup for health
--- Quote ---They had been getting less sleep, and they had to run around more," he said. "We felt it would be good to give them the soup because they were fatigued and had a bit of a shock."
Reflecting the Chinese tradition of drinking slow-cooked chicken soup for health, the zookeepers boiled roosters in water overnight and added a pinch of salt to the concentrated stock.
