    I'm surprised at how LITTLE effort she put into it (that, or she is very, very weak). She barely swung that handbag.

    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    I was a Capricorn, but now it says I should really be a Sagittarius.

    Great, first new planets, now new zodiacs.

    Buff is confused.

    Oligopolies suck.

    Regulation is good sometimes, but not when it's affecting consumer prices as ridiculous as it is right now.

    Isn't regulation meant to help consumers in modern times? Competition laws against cartels and other such means of regulation? Over here it's working adequately in the communications business. Nothing is cheap over here (except a human life, har har), but at least there are no monthly download caps in any normal company's plans. Mobile plans might have some.

    However, I wouldn't be surprised if they soon introduced those over here. Finland has been steadily falling for years on the lists of advanced Internet using societies. The ISPs largely stopped development years ago and only reap profits nowadays.

    Tape released of intruder's call to police

    US police have released a tape of the extraordinary 911 call an intruder made from the bathroom of the house he had broken into.

    Timothy Chapek, 25, entered the home in Portland, Oregon on Monday night "to take a shower" and locked himself in the bathroom when he heard the owner arrive home.

    Read more: Showering intruder calls police

    Chapek feared he would be shot and called police.

    "I just broke into a house and the owners came home," he tells the 911 operator.

    Sounding stunned, the operator replies: "You broke into a house?"

    "Yeah," Chapek says. "They (the owners) can…they can hear me."

    In the tape, owner Hilary McKenzie can be heard to say: "Why are you in my house taking a shower?"

    "I'm sorry," Chapek replies.

    McKenzie then asks Chapek why he is in her house, to which Chapek confesses: "I broke in."

    "All right, I'm calling the police," McKenzie says.

    "I've already called them, they are on the phone now," Chapek helpfully informs her.

    The police phone operator and Mackenzie then discuss the intrusion.

    "He was in the bathroom and the door's shut and he said he is in there and I said who the hell are you?" McKenzie tells police laughing.

    The operator asks if he was drunk or high.

    "Well, he's obviously nuts," Mackenzie replies.

    Chapek has been charged with trespassing.

    I'd be scared and do the same as him as well.

    Americans have the right to use their arms to defend themselves against trespassers at anytime, so it's obviously better in any situation to be arrested instead risking your own life.

    Here's the background on the man:

    He had been in jail since the end of January for probation violations.

    He has been convicted of DUI, driving with a suspended license and attempting to elude.

    Chapek was scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday to face a charge of trespassing.

    The police report noted that Chapek "is intelligent but conversation with him suggests mental issues of some sort."

    I wouldn't blame this guy if he was homeless, unemployed and was just looking for a place to freshen up. From what I know, it's hard for homeless people to get a job if they don't have access to an establishment that will allow them to clean themselves.
