Hey! I just got back from the bar with some buddies, but I'm heading out in an hour to go watch the game. How is everyone?

Crap, isn't it?

The Olympic Rings are supposed to be five different colours, proper nouns are supposed to begin with a capital letter and decent graffiti-style writing is supposed to be legible. Nice bright pink though.

Actually, considering how much over-budget the rest of the gmes is, I think it best that we only spent five pence on the logo.

BRUSSELS, May 31 (Reuters) - A mini-platoon of soldiers will be deployed to the Belgian forests to tackle a plague of hairy caterpillars that are causing allergy outbreaks in humans.

Procession caterpillars, so-called for the way they march in lines through forests, are covered in long, toxic hairs which cause dermatitis and respiratory problems and account for up to 80 percent of doctor visits in the affected area.

"A bit less than a platoon, about 24 soldiers and airmen, will be deployed to help the fire brigade and civil protection authority combat the caterpillars," Belgian military spokeswoman Ingrid Baeck said on Thursday.

She said Belgian armed forces were also deployed in Lebanon,
Afghanistan,
Kosovo and the Congo but that they had a duty to help the local civil population.

Equipped with super-size blowtorches, the soldiers will spend six weeks in the eastern province of Limburg from Monday, waging a tree-by-tree war on the scourge of caterpillars, which cling in groups to trunks and branches.

"In teams of two people, they will go through the forests and burn the little animals off the trees," said Baeck. "There have not been enough people to do this and I think we can make the difference."

Previous attempts to rid forests of the caterpillars, which number in the millions thanks to mild weather, have included spraying pesticide using a helicopter and setting traps for the adult

I agree, they should have and used the money to donate or something. Unfortunately, this logo cost them...
£400,000

I have to admit that I hadn't looked at it that way. Seriously, if something as simple as the Olympic logo can help people realise just how useless and pathetic our government is then it will have done a wonderful job.

Enlightment in the form of a logo. If it were only that simple man!

I just got done watching the uk screening of yesterday's MTV movie awards hosted by Sarah Silverman!

She wasn't so good at the start but by the end she was on fire.

Hip Priest · 06.04.2007, 05:38 PM

My co-worker is away all week, so I have a shop and community centre to look after all on my own.

Employers, eh? I fear that one day my nice little job will be no more, and I'll have to get a job with a proper boss. I like not living in the real world.
