Great add here from PETA. Shocking yet funny – but effective none the less…

A GALWAY councillor has refused to apologise for swearing at a County Council committee meeting after he told a fellow councillor to “go **** himself”

Local area councillor Seamus Tiernan made the amazing outburst after he was told he was a “feckin eejit” for thinking that cloud computing was only suitable in areas with lots of rain. He had told the Infrastructure Committee meeting this week that his native Connemara would be ideal for cloud computing because it has heavy cloud cover for nine months of the year.”

The Independent councillor said that the Government should be doing more to harness clean industries for the Connemara area and he named wind energy and cloud computing as two obvious examples.

“Connemara in particular could become a centre of excellence for wind energy harnessing, as it is open to the Atlantic. Also in terms of cloud computing, we have dense thick fog for nine months of the year, because of the mountain heights and the ability to harness this cloud power, there is tremendous scope for cloud computing to become a major employer in this region.”

However his mistake was pointed out by an incredulous Cllr Martin Shiels who said that “this is taking the biscuit. I’ve heard it all now. You must be a fecking eejit to think that the cloud computing had anything to do with climate.”

Cllr Tiernan took umbrage at the remarks of his colleague and called for them to be withdrawn. When Cllr Shields refused to do so, Tiernan said “go **** yourself, Cllr Shields.”

Chairman Sile Ni Baoill asked for both councillors to withdraw their comments, but Cllr Tiernan was repentant that Cllr Shields was wrong and that cloud comouting is linked to cloud cover. ”Tell me why large companies are opening server farms in cold wet countries then, he asked Cllr Shields.

We’d look pretty dam stupid without them

If you are ever in Dubai, one unmissable attraction is the Dubai Fountain at the base of the Burj Jhalifa (Tallest building in the world). You’ve probably heard of the fountains outside the Bellagio in Vegas – yes they are great, but really nothing compared to this. They don’t call Dubai “The land of Superlatives” for nothing!

This is it to the tune of Andrea Botchelli’s ‘Time to say Goodbye’ but you might also want to check out Michael Jacksons’s Thiller.

They should do something like this in Dublin Zoo!

No this is not a joke, you did not read the title incorrectly and I have not accidentally uploaded the wrong picture. The image you see above is the worlds most expensive photograph. It just sold for $4.3 Million by Christies in New York.

Christie’s described it as “a dramatic and profound reflection on human existence and our relationship to nature on the cusp of the 21st century”. The artist Andreas Gursky describes it saying “It says a lot using the most minimal means … for me it is an allegorical picture about the meaning of life and how things are.”

This is pretty freaky. Before coming to any weird assumptions of the eating habits of Japanese people, what it says in the comments is: “I think its the Adenosine Triphosphate that is still stored in the cells of the squid gets activated by the sodium and potassium ions in the sauce, causing a kind of circuit completion that sends impulses to the muscles.”

No, they have not built a shed over a main road – this is a brilliant little idea from a German company www.style-your-garage.com - a photo realistic cover for your garage door! Check out some of the others too!

I was in a sales training course all day today, and it reminded me of some video’s i had been shown it the past.
