Productivity will be down for this quarter

So I get little enough work done cause of the bleedin interweb and then I find something thats going to COMPLETELY ruin any possible productivity (cough) Its called StumbleUpon and basically it generates random pages of whatever it is you're interested in. You can submit a list of general interests (trivia, books blah blah) or put in specific search terms and its absolutely class!

I found this here



These Weapons of Mass Destruction cannot be displayed

The weapons you are looking for are currently unavailable. The country might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your weapons inspectors mandate.

Please try the following:

  • Click the refresh.gif (82 bytes) Regime change button, or try again later.
  • If you are George Bush and typed the country's name in the address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly. (IRAQ).
  • To check your weapons inspector settings, click the UN menu, and then click Weapons Inspector Options. On the Security Council tab, click Consensus. The settings should match those provided by your government or NATO.
  • If the Security Council has enabled it, The United States of America can examine your country and automatically discover Weapons of Mass Destruction.
    If you would like to use the CIA to try and discover them,
    click Detect Settings Detect weapons
  • Some countries require 128 thousand troops to liberate them. Click the Panic menu and then click About US foreign policy to determine what regime they will install.
  • If you are an Old European Country trying to protect your interests, make sure your options are left wide open as long as possible. Click the Tools menu, and then click on League of Nations. On the Advanced tab, scroll to the Head in the Sand section and check settings for your exports to Iraq.
  • Click the Bomb button if you are Donald Rumsfeld.

It reminds me of a sketch that Dylan Moran did a few years ago in Vicar St (its on the Monster DVD) Basically he was talking about euphemistic phrases that are bandied about in the media that normally sound quite nice and fluffy (give me a break I'm paraphrasing!) but mean something sinister. He said one of his favourites was regime change....

Actually screw that I found the clip, he tells it so much better than i do!

Phrases like "comedic genius" get thrown around far too much but when he's on form Moran really deserves the title.

"I love what you've done with the place"!
