Karma

Karma is a beautiful thing isn't it? It's very comforting to know that no matter how douchey the douchebag, Karma will eventually bite them in the ass. Like if you wear a ski-cap to look cool in Los Angeles, you'll probably eventually go bald. Or if you drive a Hummer, you'll probably get crushed by a falling tree. Or if you murder two people and get away with it, you'll probably get charged with armed robbery 13 years later and face the possibility of life in prison.

Of course, it's not guaranteed that O.J. will be convicted of this crime. After all, he does have a history of being wily when it comes to the law. But sooner or later, karma will indeed catch up to him. If not now, then some time later. And if not later, then he'll face an eternity of sodomy by Hitler and David Koresh in hell. Either way, no one needs to do a thing. Karma - the lazy man's form of justice.

World's Tallest Thing

This week, The Burj Dubai Tower still under construction in Dubai, reached 555 metres tall (yes, I'm being fancy by using metric), surpassing the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada as the world's tallest free standing structure.

This may seem noteworthy at first, but is it really? Is it that hard to build a really tall building anymore? For the past 5000 years, the human race has already proven itself in the area of building really tall or big things. Now that we've invented the internet, mapped the human genome, and created the pseudo-reality show The Hills, shouldn't we be trying to achieve something brand new? Building a super tall building to beat another country's tall building feels sooooo 1970's.

Also - to the people of Dubai: while your new building may be really long, it's girth that really matters to a woman.
