I’m on holiday at the moment, so I will only give you this short comic to feast on:

After spending near 2 hours at Oddee.com, a great page with all kinds of different lists, pictures and funny articles, I fell over the article World’s Most Dangerous Airports. The first airport mentioned is ‘Princess Juliana International Airport’ in Saint Marteen, Netherlands Antilles. There are many pictures on the internet, where you see relaxing tourists looking at planes flying only 10-20 meters above a nice sandy beach. Many people have claimed that these pictures are fake, however it’s true and this YouTube video should show it:

The landing strip is only 2.180 long and this means the planes have to approach early and that’s why the go so low. As a plane enthusiast I might have to go the Netherlands Antilles, just to planespot, as it’s not many places you get to see live planes so close while landing and taking off!

Clicking on the warning sign will bring up our usual slideshows, this time with 10 pictures of planes landing at Saint Marteen. Hope you’ll enjoy the pictures, as much as I’ve enjoyed finding them.

Enjoy your day/night and remember to walk your chinchilla!

Well, I’ve been hanging around on YouTube as I tend to do at times (especially in my boring UML lessons). Here I stumbled upon a few laughable movies. To be honest, I’m not sure of the origin of the first one, but a class mate of mine claims it’s from Greenland. However I think this song might originate from China or some other Asian country, due to several things. 1) The language does not in any way resemble any Greenlandic I’ve ever heard, it sounds more like Chinese or Mongolian. 2) Just around 1 minute into the clip, you also see some high-rise buildings, which I’m in no way certain there are any of in Greenland!

After all my rambling about the first clip, I’d better let you see it and no matter where it’s from I still think it’s funny:

Secondly we got the Kazakh version of ‘Idols’, the all famous ‘Superstar KZ’! I’m quite sure that this is some strange Kazakh song or if it’s just an incredible bad cover of Bomfunk MC’s Freestyler. I’ll let you judge, so sit tight and listen to ‘Frestailo’:

If the first clip from ‘Superstar KZ’ wasn’t enough, I now got the joy to bring you an updated version of ‘Frestailo’, just listen to the crowd and you’ll soon join in with the cheering. Is it the same guy as in the first ‘Frestailo’ movie?

Finally, let’s take a trip to Japan, the country who brings us one crazy show after another. This time it’s a ‘Crazy Frog’ look a like show:

Honestly, wouldn’t you run if you saw a guy looking like that?!

Today we’ll make spot on the different game worlds out there. Be it big MMORPGs like World of Warcraft or Lord of the Rings Online, or small browser games like Gladiatus, NationStates or Travian, there is a place for you out there!

NationStates:
We’ll start with looking closer at NationStates, which is a game made by Max Barry, a writer who has written numerous books, good ones I’d like to add! The game is inspired by his book Jennifer Government and you can read the first chapter here!

So… What is this game about, how does it look?

It’s a text based game, where you have your own country. You’ll get upto 2 issues a day (you change this yourself in the settings, but maximum is 2 pr. day). An example of what you have to do is shown below, taken from my nation Hrotsijka:

The Issue:

A group several thousands strong hailing from a remote, isolated corner of Hrotsijka is staging a massive demonstration on the front steps of your capitol. They demand that their local dialect be recognized as an official language.

The Debate:

1: Violet Jefferson, your Minister of Culture, has nothing but disdain for the demonstrators. “The language of Hrotsijka is as important to our national identity as our history is. A truly erudite individual uses perfect grammar and refuses to speak as those ruffians do.” Your Finance Minister is quick to chime in as well, “If business is required to print every road sign, instruction manual, and fast-food wrapper in two languages, it would increase everybody’s overhead. That means higher prices for the person in the street.”

2: “Smarker, but ee’s gone blongie ’round the clonger! Trandy in the blang warked a newtie on the Cheebers, quaff me a duggle if it’s brine. Sorky, hang our trandy high!” says Miranda O’Bannon, speaking for the demonstrators, in an apparently rousing response that draws a cascade of cheers. After a few uncomfortable minutes with a professional translator, you find the speaker said, “I respectfully disagree with the Minister. Multilingualism has brought stability to richly-cultured nations such as Brancaland; indeed, I challenge you to provide a single counterexample. I encourage this government to adopt a policy of multilingualism throughout Hrotsijka!”

3: Samuel Johnson, a radical opposition member who seems to tag along to every demonstration she can find, has her own proposal. “The language barrier is keeping us all apart. What Hrotsijka needs is a new identity defined by a new language that we can all agree on. That’s unity without favoritism.”

You have to chose one of them and it’ll then affect your country. The thing is, you’re not really sure how it will affect your country, but that doesn’t matter really. There is also a virtual UN, where new resolutions are discussed and voted for. Each region has their elected UN Delegate and their votes are important if a reslolution are to pass! Hrotsijka are situatied in Gatesville, which is fighting ‘the One World Order’ also know as ‘the United Nations’.

It’s fun and rather adictive! At least I’ve been playing it for more than a year now. Just remember to check back more than every 28th day or you country will be deleted!

Next time we look closer at Gladiatus…

Well as most of you know, I guess, I’m going to my girlfriends brother Leifs wedding tomorrow. So I’ve gotten myself a new suit and I guess you should be allowed to see the thing

I don’t really like suits, I don’t like churches and I don’t really like fancy things, such as weddings, but I’ll show myself from my best side. At least I’ll try and just smile because I don’t look, completely, like Amin Jensen even though we use the same suit, apparently, which clicking the slideshow will show you…

The presidental campaign is over you (read: America)! And I want to strike my sword for the person I belive should become president of the United States of America. Max! At least everything talks for reelecting this little guy! Watch his movies! Donate for his campaign too!

I quote from his homepage:

Welcome! Greetings my fellow Americans. And girl ones, too. These are times of divisions. Red states and blue states. The have-nots and the have-tons-of. The imbecilic, and the amazingly even more imbecilic.
But our America is an enormous fondue pot, where smelly cheeses of all types can meld together in a sort of warm oily mass, for citizens and non-legal residents alike to dip dry bread crumbs on a long metal stick into.
It is my duty to bridge these societal gaps, or at least mince along the fine line between them as deftly as a damn ballerina. …
Will I seek re-election in the year 2008? I-don’t-know-maybe-what-the-hell-sure-I-guess-so. Over the next months I will determine the will of the electorate… and when I say “electorate,” I actually don’t have a clue what it means, though I suspect it’s some type of scalp condition.
In my short time in office, I have learned much about our great nation, for instance; that I can order a tuna fish sandwich from the White House kitchen at 5:00 AM and then send it back at the last minute in favor of a meatball sub. Or, that my motorcade can drive right over a hobo without any apparent repercussions.
I will be addressing you frequently my loyal brethren, citizens, brothers and/or sisters, livestock and upright walking reptile/human hybrids but for now I bid to all those patriots who carry in their hearts a national pride in our own unique culture… “Adieu.”
