| Lance Armstrong : Hey, aren't you Peter La Fleur? Peter La Fleur : Lance Armstrong! Lance Armstrong : Ya, that's me. But I'm a big fan of yours. Peter La Fleur : Really? Lance Armstrong : Ya, I've been watching the dodgeball tournament on the Ocho. ESPN 8. I just can't get enough of it. Good luck in the tournament. I'm really pulling for you against those jerks from Globo Gym. I think you better hurry up or you're gonna be late. Peter La Fleur : Uh, actually I decided to quit... Lance. Lance Armstrong : Quit? You know, once I was thinking of quitting when I was diagnosed with brain, lung and testicular cancer all at the same time. But with the love and support of my friends and family, I got back on the bike and won the Tour de France five times in a row. But I'm sure you have a good reason to quit. So what are you dying of that's keeping you from the finals? Peter La Fleur : Right now it feels a little bit like... shame. Lance Armstrong : Well, I guess if a person never quit when the going got tough, they wouldn't anything to regret for the rest of their life. Well good luck to you Peter. I'm sure this decision won't haunt you forever.

| Firstly... a space elevator now looks a step closer. For those of you that don't know what it is... it is an elevator that stretches from the earth's surface into space. I can hear you snickering already... but I am deadly serious. A lot of people's time and money is already going into developing the idea. Basically a ribbon cable... a few metres wide and thinner then paper will stretch from somewhere around the equator all the way into space. More info can be found here and here and here and here.
Whilst I am on the subject of breaking news, a mathmetician claims to have solved the Poincare Conjecture. This was one of several millium maths problems set, which has a reward of one million dollars if his answer proves correct. There is one small problem... if he is correct, it becomes possible to predict prime numbers... and the encryption most stuff on the net is based on... can be broken.
Meanwhile closer to home... NSW inmates are injecting themselves with spider venom in order to get themselves high. How stupid can you get. I suppose they have a lot of time on their hands.
I had my maths exam today... and walked out the most confident I ever have from a maths exam. We shall see when the results turn up. I'm now on a 7 day weeked... giving me the next 3 days... and then sunday... to churn out a 2 minute art film. I am really worried it is not going to have enough of my own footage. We shall see.
I made a list of 4 possible things I could do on my phone about 4 months back. The fourth one I decided could really screw up my life if I attempted it. And now I am thinking seriously about it. Circumstances have changed though. We shall see. 47 minutes until Ben turns 18. Happy Birthday Ben!

| USA troops close in on bin laden.
Wow... how convenient. Who wants to lay a bet they get him just before the election so George Bush can make his speech on how we are 'winning the war on terror.'

| A professor is giving the first year medical students their first lecture on autopsies, and decides to give them a few basics before starting. "You must be capable of two things to do an autopsy. The first thing is that you must have no sense of fear." At this point, the lecturer sticks his finger into the dead man's anus, pulls it out, and then licks it. He asks all the students to do the same thing with the corpses in front of them. After a couple of minutes' silence, they follow through with his disgusting command. "The second thing is that you must have an acute sense of observation: How many of you noticed that I stuck my middle finger into the corpse's anus, but I licked my index finger?"

| Hmmm... haven't blogged in a while so I have a bit to say :D
Firstly... the stuff in Russia. It's really sad. To hear that the terrorists right from word go always planned to kill every single child... and then escape themselves in the confusion just makes me angry. I hope they track every single one of them down and hang them by their nuts. Apart from that I have been studying hard for exams... and now I only have maths left to worry about :) This morning was english. I did alright I guess until I ran out of time near the end. Glenn wrote absolute crap. That boys really worries me some times. I really wonder where he will be in 10 years time.
I spent a bit of time talking to a chicken last night. Believe it or not he managed to do 8 of the 10 things I asked. Absolutely amazing. I suggest you all go and have a chat to him as well. Sitting on my desk I now have over 100 spec tickets and about a poster. If you are a girl in a birisbane high school and would like tickets feel free to email me: johnsee at sandstorming dot com
Thats all for now. I think I might go and find some nice food for lunch. Proabably a mango ice cream. I am eating about 4 or 5 a day at the moment :|
