WWII as told by game chat.

TOO FUNNY!!

Medals medals medals!!!

Olympics are behind us, my country just went away with a silver and a bronze so we don't get to discuss much how we should be counting medals to make it into the top 10.
US gets to do so, thus leading to some articles, pictures, (That ABC is Australian, mate) but the best one so far, is a complete breakdown by the BBC into 5 different tables for the top 10 countries in the Olympics.

So how do we get our countries in the list?

I know, I know.
Australia is there in several lists >.>

Turtles can fly

This must be the "harshest" movie I've ever seen.
After seen the trailer I assume the usual "life can be beautiful even in the face of adversity", a common theme in "third world country" movies. Yet this one has left me in shock.
I recommend it , yet I don't think I have the courage to see any other of the Bahman Ghobadi movies.

From the first review in iMDB "A viewing of this film earlier tonight ... was immediately followed, in my case, by a trip to a bathroom stall where I stared blankly at a wall for fifteen minutes amidst a state of pure, and surprisingly prolonged, emotional helplessness"
I can relate.

The cell-phone that is just...a phone

Remember when the iPhone came out, and people actually looked for something with all the functionality of the iPhone minus the AT&T phone service?

Well finally, the complete opposite is here (hooray, hurray?)
