I Like Turtles
Do yourself a favor.
When the world is annoying you, go to Youtube and search the phrase I used on for the header of this post: “I like turtles” — that should be good for at least twenty minutes of fun.
Good Grief!
Thanks to Boing-Boing, I know that:
Jimi Hendrix made a Sex Tape. And now someone else is releasing it.
Psychopaths are great correspondents. (Among others.)
Canadian copyright is about to go nuts. (Hardly a surprise: the USA is exported n even-more-draconian form of copyright law to Korea, and Canada’s much more of a USA-wannabe.)
