Oh - you're not supposed to EAT them, they're for smoking ...

Yeah I decided to not go there - she is interesting for another reason - she appears to have a googly globally unique name - lucky her

Denielle Boulieris, who they have running ACR appears to moonlight as a realtor.
And in an interesting case of possible plagiarism - text on their alcohol page:
"In 1999 Parliament voted against allowing dairies to sell wine and beer, which may come as a surprise to those who have seen a number of shops that would normally be regarded as dairies selling alcohol. This bill will argue to ensure that except in very limited circumstances,"
Seems to have been lifted from a speech by Simon Power

Surely a better solution to Phar Lap's current mobility problems would be simply to screw a few casters in - then she could just pull her horsey around by the reins

Of course we could all just let our paranoia hang out - I wonder how the police would react to 1000 vaguely incoherent emails along the lines of "I was only laughing at the salad spinner, honest ...."

Can't help wondering if the cops have nabbed the database that drives the "Customers who bought this product also purchased" portion of the website

I'm not sure that an earthquake in Taiwan counts - I go there a lot for business these days (lived thru their previous 6.9).

yeah I tend to agree - someone has to counter the rise of fundie-ism and standing up in public and claiming "religion is a crock" hasn't been something that people have been doing much recently (well in the west not since the rise of the catholic church) - it's only now that state religion is slowly crumbling we're seeing people free to speak out.
The problem of course is that as a rule not-believing just doesn't have the passion that the true believer has - so there just aren't a lot of militant atheists - for the past 2000 years it's just been better to keep your head down and hope no one notices you (just like I learned to pretend to sing the hymns in school assembly to avoid detention).
What I do like about Dawkins et al is that most of the time (when they're not being misquoted) what they're really doing is just pushing the scientific method as a way to decide about how the world works
