Was just checking out Amazon and I realized now is the best time to buy a camera.
Nikon D70
Body Only $500
Body with Lens $600
Canon 20D
Body Only $750
Body with Lens $1000
And this is only a week after I got my brother a D70 without a lens for $750! Sometimes Amazon really sucks.
Update: Seems it must have been a mistake by Amazon, the prices are back to normal. Should have taken a screenshot, now people will think I imagined it all!

This is really funny, Animal experts in Croatia say a bear has learned how to trick people to let him in by knocking at the door. They believe the 35-stone brown bear probably learned the trick while nudging a door to get it to open. Experts speculate the nudging was mistaken by the owners for knocking and that the bear, pleased by the outcome, repeated the tactic. The Loknar family from Gerovo in western Croatia said the bear had knocked at their door three times and they were now refusing to answer the door. Mum Nevenka Loknar said: “We jumped out the window as he came in through the door and raided the kitchen the first time. “I opened the door and saw him standing there and I didn’t believe my eyes at first, then I ran for it as he walked in as if it was the most normal thing in the world. “Bears are a common thing in the woods around here, but no one has ever heard of a bear that knocks at the door. “The bear is so intelligent it’s incredible. We’ve tried to put up lots of obstacles to stop him coming in, like a wire fence but he still gets through. I wouldn’t be surprised if he knew how to use wire cutters.”

This site is crazy, I can’t believe there are actual hardcore fans of the movie Commando. It did bring some nice flashbacks of the movie though, I found this quote which I still remember from the movie:
Matrix: Remember, Sully, when I promised to kill you last?
Sully: That’s right, Matrix. You did.
Matrix: I lied.
Now I am going to go look for a Cobra fan site.. [Link]
So far in 7 days I have made $20.32 via the Google Adsense program. It doesn’t sound much but at this rate I should be able to make over $1000 a year if my websites don’t get more popular. I have placed the google ads on 248AM.com and Miskan.com but I receive the bulk of visitors on my other older sites. I am thinking of expanding even and placing ads on more of my sites. So far I am impressed with Adsense. [Link]
This is todays B-Side from the airport. Photographers and reporters were swarming around this chick in a cap who seemed to be someone famous. Click here to view the orignal post on Miskan.
A few days ago I was at McDonalds and I ordered the Fillet-O-Fish combo with a Quarter Pounder Sandwich. which was supposed to come up to a total of KD1.650 according to the “McDonalds Pricing Bug“. But suddenly the McDonalds chick was asking for KD1.850! I thought I must have miscalculated and had my lunch.
Yesterday night I passed by McDonalds and I asked the manager if they had increased the prices. He told me they had, by 50fils. Thats not 100% accurate though. Some of the value meals like the Fillet-O-Fish combo and the Double Cheese Burger combo were priced at a super value price of KD1. Now they are priced at KD1.150 which is a 150fils more expensive! The breakfast menu seems to be intact and unchanged, the 100fils ice cream cone is still 100fils also. When I asked the manager why the prices had increased, he told me that its due to the increase in the price of the goods. So now Starbucks and Mcdonalds have increased their prices, whos next? I heard Chilis also increased their prices.
Comments made by Rep. Tom Tancredo on Friday during an on-air interview on radio station WFLA in Orlando, Fla. Host Pat Campbell and the congressman were discussing the possibility of future terrorist attacks inside the United States.
Campbell: Worst case scenario, if they do have these nukes inside the borders and they were to use something like that — what would our response be?
Tancredo: What would be the response? You know, there are things that you could threaten to do before something like that happens and then you may have to do afterwards that are quite draconian.
Campbell: Such as…
Tancredo: Well, what if you said something like — if this happens in the United States, and we determine that it is the result of extremist, fundamentalist Muslims, um, you know, you could take out their holy sites . . .
Campbell: You’re talking about bombing Mecca.
Tancredo: Yeah. What if you said — what if you said that we recognize that this is the ultimate threat to the United States — therefore this is the ultimate threat, this is the ultimate response.
I mean, I don’t know, I’m just throwing out there some ideas because it seems to me . . . at that point in time you would be talking about taking the most draconian measures you could possibly imagine and because other than that all you could do is once again tighten up internally.

How to not fuck up with girls (Part 2)
Bobby Miller sent me the above link to Part 2, its REALLY funny and soooo true. If you missed Part 1 click here.
The Doom movie is going to come out soon. Its being directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak, the guy who directed the movies Twins, Speed, Dante’s Peak, The Devil’s Advocate, Lethal Weapon 4 and Thirteen Days. The problem though the movie is starring The Rock! Thats why the movie will suck, The Rock sucks. Maybe 12 year olds think he is cool but to adults he is just lame, they might as well have used Hulk Hogan instead. I am trying to think of who would be better then The Rock but sadly I can’t seem to think of anyone else. Van Diesel is more of the extreme sports guy who cares only about himself, not the team leader type. Sylvester Stallone seems like a good option with his past experiences but he’s old now, Woody Harrelson although cool in Natural Born Killers I just can’t seem him leading a group of elite men on a mission to Mars. Who else is left? Wesley Snipes? No, Clive Owen? No, Samuel L. Jackson? No, Colin Farrell? No. There really aren’t that many guys who can fit the part.
Actually, maybe Robert De Niro would fit the part. He was pretty cool in Heat oh and Val Kilmer, he would also fit the part, even Al Pacino. Denis Leary was cool in Judgment Night. Actually if you put these guys together they would make a pretty cool fucking team. That would make Doom a much better movie. Put Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Al Pacino and Denis Leary on the same team against The Rock, Van Diesel, Collin Farel and Wesley Snipes and I think you would have one fucking amazing movie.
Here are some shots from the upcoming Doom movie. [Link]
