Is it just me, or is there a convergence of e/n sites towards “e/n networks” and away from hypermart and virtualave *cough*ramblingsworlddomination*cough*?

To Irish I say: Get A Life. I just got a barrage of 14 SMSes from him which I refuse to put up. The last one read: “Ok, that was the first part and the main chorus… its juveniles Back dat azz up. Ill send you the rest in your mail.”
I reckon at least 90% of the questions asked on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? can be found within 20 seconds and within 2 mouse clicks via Google (or maybe the Encyclopedia Britannica DVD?). They never said sitting in front of a computer is illegal, so why not arrange with a friend on the “phone-a-friend” lifeline to sit on a computer with a really fast net connection awaiting the phonecall? Instead of telling him the question, give him the search query, and while the page loads, tell him the question :).
Ok I’m embarrassed. I screwed up yesterday. Sorry to billyjoebob and Atroxi – they weren’t 100% right but that’s being picky. All that needs to be changed with their answers is (pointed out by Bruiser): “Can’t you just ask that guy which way someone from the other tribe would tell you was safe?”
An alternate correct answer was given by F00bar and David:
If I were to ask you if that is the road to take to safety, would you say yes?”. Whichever the direction the tribesman points to, the man can be sure it’s the safe way. If the tribesman responds “yes”, he should go in the direction he is pointing. If the answer is “no”, he should take the other fork in the road.
Amongst the incorrect answers today, many people were trying to be tricky and said they’d ask the tribesman two questions – one to determine whether he told lies or the truth, and the other to determine which path to walk. The problem should’ve been qualified with “you can only ask the tribesman one question.” Still, it made for an amusing response from not the UNPC Phil: “An NBC-Made-For-TV-Movie-inspired solution: Grab each bastard and throw them down each road. See which one dies.”

For those in the Commonwealth countries:
The queen and the pope are standing on the balcony of Buckingham Palace in front of gathered thousands. Out of the side of her mouth the queen says to the pope, “I’ll bet you two Swiss Guards that with one small wave of my hand I can make every English person in the crowd go mad with delight.”
“Ok,” whispers the pope, “This I want to see.” So the queen waves, and the crowd goes wild, nearly ripping their flags with joy.
The pope is impressed, but not to be outdone. “Alright”, he says to the queen out of the corner of his mouth, “I’ll bet you two Beefeaters that with one small nod of my head I can make every Australian person in the crowd go insane with adulation and celebrate for days.”
The queen is certain that she’s on to a winner here, so she whispers, “Go on then.”
So the Pope headbutts her.
MSNBC Mysteries Archive is a really intriguing read.

I find this incredibly ironic. Mobile phone users who think they are protecting their brains by using handsfree kits may actually be chanelling three times the amount of radiation into their bodies.
Warning issued about hands-free phone kits
LONDON (April 3, 2000 5:42 p.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) – Hands-free kits for phones, designed to protect the health of cell-phone users, can actually increase levels of radiation transmitted to the brain, Britain’s Consumers’ Association warned Monday.
Researchers found two devices they tested acted as aerials, channeling three times as much radiation from the mobile telephone into the user’s head.
Sales of hands-free kits have rocketed amid reports linking mobile phone use to ill health, including possible brain tumors.
But test results from Which? — the trading arm of the Consumers’ Association — showed the devices did not provide protection.
“If you’re worried about levels of radiation from your mobile phone, you shouldn’t rely on a hands-free set,” said Graeme Jacobs, editor of Which? magazine.
“The two models we tested triple the radiation to your brain, though we still don’t know for certain whether that radiation is harmful.”
Jacobs said there was no conclusive evidence that mobile phone radiation caused health problems, but neither had the fears been discounted.
“International research is ongoing, but until conclusive evidence is available, users could limit their phone use if they are concerned about radiation,” he said.
Source: Nando Media. Of course, there’s still no conclusive proof that the radiation is harmful, but I don’t really believe that the radiation emitted is all harmless.
