Transmitting from over the edge ...
I'm back from Amsterdam, and somewhat refreshed. So what do I
do next but check out the truth about
Black Helicopters website?
"Black Helicopters (BH) are not just helicopters with a black
paint-job as you may have been told. They are, in fact,
autonomous agents -- lifeforms -- created by New World Order
agencies via nanobiotechnology. Their purpose is to spy on the
activities of Americans in order to gather tactical
information and discover "subversives" who are not bowing to
the will of the Liberati's UN-backed Federal Government.
Furthermore, when the NWO Invasion takes place in the
not-to-distant future, they will round-up citizens for
internment in concentration camps or carry out the elimination
of the more vocally anti-Liberati ..."
(I'd be more inclined to believe this if it was a bit less
lucid.)
Meanwhile, if you were wondering where the woman with the
glass legs (down the page) came in, it turns out to be a still
from part 3 of the Cremaster Cycle of
short, very very weird art films by Matthew Barney,
which seem (I haven't seen them yet) to be like unto the weirder
works of Peter
Greenaway (fan site -- PG has no web site of his
own). Her name's Aimee
Mullins,
she's a model and paralympics record holder, and she
doesn't seem to have a web site either. (Thanks to Allan H.
for the tip-off.)
Finally, for a while now I've been drooling after various Tumi bags, but been put off by
the price (best described as Extreme Luggage for the fiscally
over-endowed). It turns out that, while the luggage shop in
Schiphol Airport's shopping mall charges the usual insane
prices (EUR 850 for a roller-equipped mobile office isn't
their most expensive model), the luggage shop in the departure
area -- once you clear immigration and baggage check -- sells
the same stuff at close to a 50% discount. Which is how I
ended up with a
20''
wheeled backback without selling my left kidney to pay the
deposit on the mortgage on my soul.
