Do you have a "dream car"? If you had money to spare, would you buy a new car? If so, would you be more likely to get an eco-friendly vehicle, a vintage model, or a luxury sportscar?

The Many Ways to Kill Bella in New Moon

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 17:18:08 GMT

Her mondo-severe papercut gets infected and she dies of septicaemia.

When Edward pushes her away from Jasper, she crashes into the table and dies on impact.

Jasper eats her.

She jumps off the cliff. Uh, hello?

Carlisle notices her touching him inappropriately and bitch slaps her through a window.

Paul eats her.

Edward's sparkling skin blinds her permanently.

The dirtbike flips and lands on her skull.

Jacob gets really angry and scratches her eyes out.

After Edward leaves her, she curls up on the forest floor and dies of hypothermia.

Laurent eats her.

When Jacob runs and jumps over her while transforming into a werewolf, he muffs his landing and squashes her with his huge front paws.

Someone in the St Marcus Day parade clotheslines her.

She trips over her own feet in the fountain, cracks her head against the edge, and drowns.

When Edward takes off his shirt, the parade (made up of Twihards) surges forward to catch a glimpse of his sparkliness, and she is trampled in the ensuing crush.

She isn't immune to Dakota Fanning's powers.

The Volturi eat her.

She screams so hard, she bursts an artery.

When Alice is driving at 200mph, Bella falls out of the car and becomes a stain on the road.

She gets between a fighting Jacob and Edward. They do the rest.

Everything I Needed To Know In Life, I Learnt From New Moon

Sparkling skin is not necessarily a figure of speech.

Edward Cullen is a road hazard.

Red contacts are the shit.

Thou shalt not covet thy future father-in-law. Or touch him inappropriately. Or touch him. At all.

When in doubt, take your shirt off.

It is possible to be nothing more than a CPD - Convenient Plot Device.

Even though your kung fu is strong, you can still die of a heart attack.

Dakota Fanning can be a scary little bitch when she wants to. She rocks.

Deep, dark, unspeakable secrets aren't.

Papercuts can lead to bloodloss and breakups.

Just because you survived a fifty foot drop into a freezing, tumultuous ocean doesn't mean you can't knock yourself out on the cliff wall behind you.

It is perfectly normal to be bipolar, manic depressive and suicidal.

Jacob's abs can be used for washing your laundry.

As powerful as the Volturi are, they would be no match for Buffy. Except maybe Dakota - she's badass.

Running around shirtless in a temperate climate is not just okay, it's MANDATORY.

'Facepunch' is a movie worth making.

HOLY. SHIT.

Gene Simmons, God of Everything

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 04:35:57 GMT

From TODAY's interview with the KISS frontman:

There is one job this god of rock would be interested in taking up - and that's god of everything.

"That would be a good job. I would change everything. I would stop torturing children, not let them be born with AIDS when they didn't do anything to deserve it. I'd wind up killing the bad guys and letting the good ones live. I would not allow all animals to have to kill another animal just so they can survive. Let's just eat rocks.

"And I would make a law: Never worship me. Because I don't have an ego. I'll just do my thing. I don't need you to know I'm here. But if you mistreat each other, I will take you off the Earth. Simple! Don't you think it's better?"

While I may not agree completely with you, Mr. Simmons, I do think you'd make one hell of a God.

The grandfather replied, "I feel like two wolves are fighting in my heart. One is full of anger and hatred. The other is full of love, forgiveness and peace."

"Which one will win?" asked the boy.

Japan's first suspected swine flu case tests negative
01 May 2009 1656 hrs

TOKYO - Japan's first suspected case of swine flu has tested negative for the deadly disease, officials said Friday.

Health authorities carried out detailed tests on a 17-year-old boy who showed flu symptoms after he returned from a school trip to Canada.

The laboratory tests showed the boy was suffering from a normal human flu, not H1N1 swine flu, a health official told a nationally televised press conference.

"This patient has a seasonal, human influenza," he said. "We can rule out that this was an infection of a new type of influenza."

THANK YOU. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
