afterlife

Finally,

yesterday night I finished playing "World of Goo" :) Amazing play. I particularly like the graphics, how the physics machine behind worx and the challenges, of course. Here some screenshots:







Near a month late, the BBC pearls for December 2009:

• Zulu king wins South Africa bull-killing case
• Reading while rolling Cuba's famous cigars (and imagine reading while smoking the Cuba's famous cigars)
• Fast forward to the past
• Singapore birds sent to market party (the same procedure for the cockroaches may increase the degree of socializing them... just a suggestion)
• Rising seas "clue" in sunken world of Orkney (why do I have the feeling, they are solving the wrong problem?)
• Unholy row over New Zealand Mary and Joseph billboard
• Christkind (Father Christmas, Santa Claus, the spirit of Christmas, Christ itself... and now, the Christkind.. the whole family invades!)
• Switzerland geologist on trial for 'causing quakes' (he must have escaped from the forces and hidding himself in Haiti.. it's not funny! serious!)
• "Boat" could explore Saturn moon (it is not actually a boat.. and it won't actually swim in water.. but journalism, you know..)
• Man jailed for eating rare tiger (I just couldn't make reference to the article from November: "Two man jailed after beating crocodile with bamboo sticks"..)
• Swedish Christmas straw goat burnt
• HP computers are racists
• The official choir of the European Organization for Nuclear Research is to record a song dedicated to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
• "Oldest duck" Edwina dies aged 22 (poor Edwina...)

And as we mentioned the afterlife... Since we all know that it is a cubicle, hopefully this cubicle is equipped with a Mac and fast Internet connection.. Pray..

Sincerely mines,
