Nick Nolte Drunk In Hawaii’s Airport
I love camera phones. Funny how Nick’s picture has been used before to demonstrate the effects of alcohol intoxication for a past French word of the week.

The Dog Days Of Summer
In the summer, the Internets are slow. Less stuff happens…posts to ramp up to their usual “too many at a time” pace next week.
Although expect a few drips and drizzles here and there for the meantime.
Happy System Administrator Day
So give all of your dorky friends and co-workers who keep your machines nice and running a Diet Coke, kiss, or latest copy of Heros on DVD.
Repeating The Trojan Horse Trick
At various locations these two guys from the Australian show ‘The Chaser’ try to get a real Trojan horse (filled with soldiers) through security checkpoints. The only ones who didn’t fall for it? The Turkish consulate.

Travel More Than 4 Hours Doubles Blot Clot Risk
The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) – the collective name for DVTs and pulmonary embolisms (clots in the lungs) increases dramatically after 4 hours of travel in a plane, car, or otherwise.
Blood clots can form in the lower limbs during long periods of immobility – and can kill if they travel to the lungs.
Although the overall risk is low, being overweight, very tall or short (short is less than 1.6m cough, cough), and women taking oral contraceptives are more vulnerable. Keep in mind also that your risk remains elevated up to 4 weeks after traveling.
