Ah, isnt it cute? The pretty Killer robots have come to take over Earth.

Cats will never taste the sweet life...ahhhhh...

Cats may like ice cream, but it is not the sugary taste that appeals to them because they are genetically unable to taste sweet flavors, researchers reported on Monday.

Domestic cats and big cats alike have a slightly different version of the sweet receptor gene than other mammals, the British and U.S. scientists found.

Any cat owner knows that cats have individual preferences, but cats will turn their noses up at sugary treats that do not contain some other ingredient such as butter or gelatin.

"One possible explanation for this behavior is that felines are unable to detect sweet-tasting compounds like sugars and high intensity sweeteners because their sweet taste receptor is defective," said Xia Li, a molecular geneticist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center, a nonprofit research institute in Philadelphia, who helped lead the study.

Hot Coffee mod - Decaf Fix Version

In a statement on Wednesday, News.com reported that Rockstar claimed it is not responsible for the so-called widely available Hot Coffee mod. Instead, the Take-Two Interactive subsidiary said the mod was the result of "the work of a determined group of hackers who have gone to significant trouble to alter scenes in the official version of the game".

Senator Maxwell House has also apparently decided to take on the Hot Coffee debacle, for bringing Caffiene into disrepute and will call on the Federal Trade Commission to launch an inquiry into the mod, sources have told GameSpot.

An anonymous religious pressure group has released its own fix for parents to apply to the modded software. "Buggy 1" the fix is possibly available here.

Simeon Says:

For those misguided, blinkered, one-eyed parents out there (Of course unlike holier than thou!), the game merely joins the ranks of adolescent sex, dope-smoking, underage drinking and a long list of other things that "teens" shouldn't do but try to get away with anyway - like we never did eh?. Despite the misogynistic nastiness that turns my gut over more violently than a ride on a flat bottomed barge, travelling in a storm across the straits of Gibraltar, it should be the bottom item on the list of bugbears threatening the moral values that many of us hold dear in this crazy age. Arsebiscuits.

Tokyo governor Ishihara sued for insulting French

French teachers and researchers in Japan sued outspoken Tokyo Governor Shintaro Ishihara on Wednesday for calling French a "failed language", demanding compensation and a public apology.

In a suit filed at the Tokyo District Court, the 21 plaintiffs, many of whom run language schools or teach French, said Ishihara's remarks had disgraced them. According to the suit, Ishihara said last October: "I have to say it is no surprise that French is disqualified as an international language because French is a language which cannot count numbers." The governor made his remarks at a gathering in support of a new university in Tokyo, apparently to explain that there was no point to pursuing French, said plaintiff Brendan Marcus, who teaches at a private French school in Tokyo.

Simeon Says...

Je ne sais pas ce que voulez dire vous au sujet du Français étant un tel baisé vers le haut de la langue, vous devrais essayer le japonais. Translated directly by Babel Fish as "I do not know what want to say you about the French such being kissed to the top of the language, should test Japanese to you." Go Figure! Actually it read "I do not know what you mean about French being such a fucked up language, you should try Japanese."

Former WorldCom Inc. founder Bernard J. Ebbers gets 25 years

The Ebbers sentence comes a month after Adelphia Communications Corp. founder John J. Rigas received 15 years behind bars for his role in an earnings manipulation scheme. His son, former chief financial officer Timothy Rigas, received 20 years.

Ebbers is the first of several former WorldCom officials to receive a prison sentence. Five subordinates who took part in the fraud are scheduled to be sentenced later this summer. Chief among them is onetime finance chief Scott D. Sullivan, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy and testified against Ebbers. Sullivan faces as many as 25 years behind bars, although experts said he likely will win a significant reduction in prison time given his cooperation with prosecutors. He is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 4.

Scientists Create Zombie Dogs

SCIENTISTS have created eerie zombie dogs, reanimating the canines after several hours of clinical death in attempts to develop suspended animation for humans.

US scientists have succeeded in reviving the dogs after three hours of clinical death, paving the way for trials on humans within years.

Pittsburgh's Safar Centre for Resuscitation Research has developed a technique in which subject's veins are drained of blood and filled with an ice-cold salt solution.

The animals are considered scientifically dead, as they stop breathing and have no heartbeat or brain activity.

But three hours later, their blood is replaced and the zombie dogs are brought back to life with an electric shock.

Plans to test the technique on humans should be realised within a year, according to the Safar Centre.

London Bombing Haiku

in the rush hour
red is the bus
the blood stains hidden

...but im just wondering if someone can tell me what i am supposed to be doing now? 

Highlights Of My Day

1. Discovered lifesize cardboard cut-outs of Chewie...must have one for the office.
2. A girl in Dulwich SE London sleep walked 130 foot up a crane and had to be rescued. Irshaad Ebrhim, of the London Sleep Centre, said he had treated people who had driven cars and ridden horses whilst asleep. He said one patient "even attempted to fly a helicopter"......At last the perfect excuse for getting away with drunken antics!
3. Mr Chirac's bad timing on comments regarding English cuisine - ha, hows the humble pie tasting now? Served cold eh?! (BTW- This is not an anti French blog...dont you just love it when people piss in the wind though?)
4. Discovering how to blog. Hmmm...wonder if my productivity will suffer.
5. London winning the Olympic bid and me realising i will be mid forties by the time it gets here so the sprint double is out.

Deep in shallow thought again.
