Found this sick article a few days ago:
"LONDON: Scientists are developing pills that could help people stay awake for several days at a stretch. The "24-hour lifestyle" pills currently under development may allow people to get by on only two hours' sleep each night.
Russell Foster, a biologist at Imperial
College London, said: 'The more we understand about the body's 24-hour
clock, the more we will be able to override it. In 10 to 20 years
we'll be able to pharmacologically turn sleep off.' "
Really? Sounds like something that should never be done. There's too much we don't know about sleeping yet. It affects our physics and psyche many ways and this guy thinks that in 10 to 20 years
we'll be able to pharmacologically turn sleep off. Whoaaa. Then what? It's impossible to feed people these pills and force them to work 24/7, literally! That would sure happen and it would be hard to resist using those pills wrong when nobody's watching. Like in poor countries where people, also children, already work for free (10c/ hour sounds like a joke to me) and nobody cares.
It's not so hard to imagine a life that never stops and it doesn't sound nice at all. Actually it sounds exactly what I could picture happening in the future.
Stop dreaming!

I've come to this conclusion: I don't wanna go to any university. I don't want to study. I don't want to work. I can pretend that I'm interested in something for a while but after all: I'm not! I just wanna live in some warm place, run around in a forest, eat bananas, go fishing ("fishing", not that I would actually kill animals, or then I would, I dont know) and be really primitive. It wouldn't matter if I died when I'm 30.
Conan visits Finland
Sunday February 12th, 2006 13:12
Who real Finnish blogger wouldn't write about Conan visiting Finland?! I gotta write a few lines 'cause I'm.. not a huge.. but a little.. Conan fan myself.
(Who doesn't know yet: The original Conan O'Brien from the NBC show "Late night with Conan O'Brien" is visiting Finland. He had this joke that he looks just like Finland's president Tarja Halonen - a woman, btw - and it got a little bit too far and he ended up here. He's going to meet our president on Tuesday.)
I just add some links here that I found useful when I tried to find videos and photos of him landing to Helsinki-Vantaa airport yesterday. It would've been only 100 km from my place but I had no time or interest (that much) to go there. Over 1000 people went there.
Today I read about his visit from the local newspaper (one whole page) and Helsingin Sanomat (½ page). Yesterday I read blogs and discussion forums. I just love the Internet when I want instant information

I had to borrow a few books about Islam because I can't understand things at all anymore. Two weeks ago I still had a little faith in people but now I've got nothing.
Things went like this:
1.) Danish newspaper publishes an offending cartoon of Muhammed
2.) Islamic people get mad
3.) Some of Danish people tell they are sorry and some of them don't
4.) Still mad, Islamic people say that the freedom of speech shouldn't mean that you can say mean things of other people's religion ---> burning embassys
5.) Still mad, say that they are going to grow their kids fighting for Allah (or something like that)
6.) Still mad, someone gets and idea that all Islamic people should kill Danish people anywhere in the world
7.) "We are sorry for publishing the cartoon" "No we're not" "Yes, we are" "No we aren't"
8.) "Are they really sorry?!?!?" Still mad. We don't need no water, let the...
Huhhh. How much damage can you do with a pen?! If I say that you are stupid you come and kill all Finns or all people who have something in common with me? Same colored socks? Or is it enough if they have same colored hair?
Neither I understand why newspapers had to publish that cartoon, I bet that if there would've been an unflattering cartoon of (Christians') Jesus (or something) somewhere, they would've been angry too. Or is it that it's ok to draw cartoons of politicians because they are just individuals and can't defend themselves but not of gods or Muhammed because you will get slaughtered? Humor is dangerous when making fun of anyone and laughing should be banned? Draw just flowers!! They are b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!
One person drew that cartoon and offended people are mad at everybody. Sounds like a really bad excuse to make trouble but for some Islamic people it's like all european people would've attacked them. Hey cmon. Most Scandinavian people are probably like Finns, not interested in religions that much and not deciding what newspapers publish or not.
And according to Koran, any religion should be good? Right? But then not?! I can't follow.
I wrote all these words and they make no sense because my thoughts aren't in order in my head at the moment.
I'm agnostic but I'm afraid that soon I'll be an atheist. I wouldn't mind having anything to do with a God (or gods) who's as sick as the one who created humans even though if that God now appeared here, sitting on my desk.
Did you know that chimpanzees' DNA is closer to human's DNA than other apes? I'm surprised. When I watch a document on the tv, chimpanzees take care of each other.
