All programs on Discovery Health-TLC must stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants and the false heroics behind those actions. In those programs’ places, programs encouraging human sterilization and infertility must be pushed. All former pro-birth programs must now push in the direction of stopping human birth, not encouraging it.

- From the Discovery Gunman’s list of demands. Still unconfirmed. (via politico)

I’ll be damned if this guy is going to be responsible for the cancelation of “I was pregnant and I didn’t even know it.”

haha that made me laugh, rob. Seriously though, the guy has a point on TLC… such an exploitive channel it would seem. It’s like Jerry Spinger went and got legit, but is still Jerry Springer. Kinda like how Geraldo is now on Fox News and is “legit”

Foo Fighters - Best of you

Still one of their greatest songs and one of my all-time favorites.

Yep! Dave Ghrol can write some catchy songs that aren’t all pop-y

Approx 30 minutes until F1 commences… Caught the qualifying, which was really good after the season’s break. Williams looks competitive again and Force India has come a long way as well. Though, the mega teams of Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull are still sitting up the top. Zoom

No Ordinary Counterfeit | New York Times

On Oct. 2, 2004, the container ship Ever Unique, sailing under a Panamanian flag from Yantai, China, berthed in the Port of Newark. As cranes unloaded the vessel’s shipping containers, which were filled with a variety of commercial goods, dockworkers singled out a container and placed it aboard a flatbed truck, which was driven to a warehouse a few miles away. There, F.B.I. and Secret Service agents, acting as part of a sting operation, gathered around the container and cracked it open. Beneath cardboard boxes containing plastic toys, they found counterfeit $100 bills worth more than $300,000, secreted in false-bottomed compartments.

Tony Law for The New York Times Trying to find the flaws, if any, in an enlargement of a “supernote.” Related Times Topics: North Korea Tony Law for The New York Times A counterfeit-bill detector. The counterfeits were nearly flawless. They featured the same high-tech color-shifting ink as genuine American bills and were printed on paper with the same precise composition of fibers. The engraved images were, if anything, finer than those produced by the United States Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Only when subjected to sophisticated forensic analysis could the bills be confirmed as imitations.

Counterfeits of this superior sort — known as supernotes — had been detected by law-enforcement officials before, elsewhere in the world, but the Newark shipment marked their first known appearance in the United States, at least in such large quantities. Federal agents soon seized more shipments. Three million dollars’ worth arrived on another ship in Newark two months later; and supernotes began showing up on the West Coast too, starting with a shipment of $700,000 that arrived by boat in Long Beach, Calif., in May 2005, sealed in plastic packages and wrapped mummy-style in bolts of cloth.

This article is from 2006, but it’s a great read about North Korea and their counterfeit operations.
