March 31, 2004Dutch dog owners can soon throw away their pooper-scoopers and plastic bags and instead walk their furry creatures to their very own toilet.
The developer of a new "doggy toilet," a small fenced-in patch of artificial grass, hopes the self-cleaning device will help rid towns of the mess left behind by man's best friend.
The first toilet is being tested in Zaltbommel, a small town in central Netherlands, but the developer has already been approached by government officials from as far away as London.
"This is only a pilot program, but we hope to roll out 200 to 300 of these toilets in one year," Hans van de Pos, who has patented the device.

The finished product of Chilean-born Danish artist Marco Evaristti's 'Ice Cube Project' is seen in Ilullissat, Greenland.
Evaristti used 3,000 liters (780 gallons) of dye, three fire hoses, two icebreakers and a 20-man crew to spray the chunk of ice for his artwork.

Watching Kids TV on a Saturday morning is part of a healthy working week, at the moment we get BBC1 'Dick n Dom in da bungalo'. It has some great sketches like the game 'bogies' where presenters compete to shout the word 'B O G E Y' as loud as they can in a public place. Blah blah blah...so today on the show presenter Dom is spouting a rather fine T-Shirt >>>
MORNING WOOD

A Japanese company unveiled a 3.5-metre (11.55-foot) tall robot that can forage its way through a heap of debris as a trailblazer for rescue workers following a disaster such as an earthquake.
The other transformers say they are happy to be of such good use to earthlings, although Megatron (leader of the decepticons) was yesterday said to be planning takeover talks with 'the swarm', adding fuel to the non-sentient fire.

wooooooo MT3.0 is coming soon.. go check out the page (if blogging your gaff) to read the news, however also as interesting is the new application TypeKey, ensuring that "people who comment on a site have a verified identity, keeping conversations on track and helping to prevent abusive or offensive content (comment spam) from being posted."
Is this just another username and password to remember?... I know I'd certainly welcome a spam free site.. having to login and edit or delete unwanted advertising is becoming tedious.

After yesterdays Virgin urinal story I found this little pic.
Now I'm not sure which is worse or even more perverted, peeing into a nun or into bright red lips?!

Palestinians gather to see a lamb born with what looked like 'Allah' spelled out in Arabic on its coat in the West Bank city of Hebron.
The lamb said it was quite enjoying the limelight and is not at all 'Allah'med by all the media publicity .

Virgin Atlantic Airways on Friday scrapped plans to install bright-red urinals shaped like women's open lips at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, saying it had received complaints they were offensive.
"I don't know many men who think it's cool to pee in a woman's mouth, even a porcelain one," said NOW President Kim Gandy on the group's Web site.
The urinal, designed by a Dutch company, was the idea of a female designer. Riordan said Virgin was surprised by the negative reaction to the plan, part of designs for the lounge, built to pamper first-class customers.

Monty Python re-release the Life of Brian.
The 1979 movie about Brian of Nazareth, who is mistaken for the Messiah, will make a return to the big screen in America at the end of April in Los Angeles and New York.
Life of Brian producer John Goldstone said "A lot of people in America have said that they couldn't figure out a way to deal with the public reaction to Mel's movie.
"This is a kind of antidote to Mel."

... in the middle of our street, our house, is our castle and our keep.
So finally mrs mule and myself have found our home for the next XX years.
There's very little to do on the property, so we can just move in and relax.
We have a great view of the canal and a few house boats out front, the best bit is the heated flooring on the whole of the ground floor.
We sign the papers this week and move in on August 1st. YAY

A UNICEF campaign to vaccinate Nigeria's youth against polio may have been a front for sterilizing the nation. Dr. Kaita, upon analysis, found evidence of serious contamination. "Some of the things we discovered in the vaccines are harmful, toxic; some have direct effects on the human reproductive system," he said.
This is not the first time UNICEF has been embroiled in a controversy over sterilizing agents in vaccines. LifeSiteNews.com reported that in 1995, the Catholic Women's League of the Philippines won a court order halting a UNICEF anti-tetanus program because the vaccine had been laced with B-hCG, which when given in a vaccine permanently causes women to be unable to sustain a pregnancy. The Supreme Court of the Philippines found the surreptitious sterilization program had already vaccinated three million women, aged 12 to 45. B-hCG-laced vaccine was also found in at least four other developing countries.

So after a getting burgled in February, I have finally managed to replace the digi camera mrsmule got me for my birthday back in 2000. I used to have a Nikon coolpix 775, tres nice it was too, lots of cool settings and enough gubbings for me to play with exposure and white light etc.
So.. what did I get this time round?
A Nikon 4300 in black
and I couldn't resist a wide-angle lens converter (also in black)
I'm not telling you how much i spent... that would be wrong.
I havn't even taken any pics with it yet either!
Needless to say I am happy with the specs, I get 4 megapixels now and some more advanced features like appeture, 5-Area Multi Autofocus, Slow Sync. Flash, Auto Bracketing, Metering and a couple more shooting modes like Copy and Back Light.
I'm off to Egypt next month, so expect an update to the gallery end of April, I've also spotted a few new stencil graffitis around town, so I'll have to get them snapped too.
