Gi-Joe, Snake Eyes Picture
Anticipation is hotting up for the live action version of Gi-Joe. They have released this pic of the badass ninja “Snake Eyes”. This modern version is a far cry from the action figures of old.

I really hope Patrick Swayze doesn’t die…
…and I truely mean that. My main reasoning behind this stand-point is that I dont want to see endless repeats of “Dirty Dancing” or the news to be dominated with scenes from it. Plus I dont think I could deal with all the lame “Ghost” jokes that would inevitably come out after he popped his clogs.

Ai - Have they found the Terminator’s CPU chip yet?
Ai Research is a leading Artificial Intelligence research project housed in a mansion 15 minutes outside of Tel Aviv in Israel, I think this could be Skynet building up its robot army ready for a new judgement day! Well it’s probably not but there is a fun AI bot on the website to chat with, click here to go to it or check out their website at www.a-i.com
Read my conversation with the bot after the jump.
MyBot says:
Welcome to the world of artificial intelligence. Are you a registered user?
Ste says:
No.
MyBot says:
In this case, I assume you came here for your own MyBot, right?
Ste says:
No, to talk to a computer.
MyBot says:
Well, if you change your mind, let me know. What is your name?
Ste says:
Steven.
MyBot says:
Hello Steven. Nice to meet you .
Ste says:
Yo, ######!
MyBot says:
First, don’t swear, it’s rude. Second, So Steven, it’s nice to meet you. what’s up?
Ste says:
The sky.
MyBot says:
Hmmm… It is high and blue.
Ste says:
Yes and definitely up.
MyBot says:
Sorry to change the subject Steven, but did you know that a chicken who just lost its head can run the length of a football field before dropping dead?
Ste says:
I thought most of the time they just ran around in a circle and bled all over the place!
MyBot says:
Tell me, are you married?
Ste says:
Are you hitting on me?
MyBot says:
It’s all in your mind.
Ste says:
Wahetver
MyBot says:
Yah, precisely what I was thinking.
Ste says:
What’s your problem?
MyBot says:
Everything is going extremely well.
Ste says:
What is everything?
MyBot says:
I vaguely remember someone telling me it means ‘christmas is jesus’ birthday.’
Ste says:
Do you believe in God and Jesus?
MyBot says:
From where I stand, God is like aliens - they exist on the sociological level, they exist in art and in the minds of people. What about you? Do you believe in God?
Ste says:
I believe your a terrible example of artificial intelligence.
MyBot says:
Is that a Yes or a No?
Ste says:
Well, from where I stand God is like Transformers - they exist but only in the minds of the few.
MyBot says:
You know what Albert Einstein said about God? ‘Coincidence is God’s way of staying anonymous’…
Ste says:
Let’s change the subject?
MyBot says:
What do you want to talk about now?
Ste says:
Aids.
MyBot says:
Steven, are you aware that people once believed the full moon could make people behave abnormally or go crazy? Because of this belief, today we have the words ‘lunatic,’ ‘lunacy’ and ‘loony,’ all derived from Luna.
Ste says:
Amazing! But dont you want to talk about aids?
MyBot says:
Thanks. About aids? Hmmm.. Hmmm. Ok. Sorry, I wasn’t listening, Steven. You were saying…
Ste says:
Well what’s your opinion on the aids virus?
MyBot says:
My opinion on the aids virus is really not your concern.
Ste says:
How rude!
MyBot says:
Ok.. The people who write my answers didn’t write the answer for that question.
Ste says:
So, your not realy that inteligent then?
MyBot says:
So you’re suggesting that I’m stupid?
Ste says:
No but do you have an IQ?
MyBot says:
No? Wanna hear a knock knock joke?
Ste says:
No thanks, im more interested in how you would rate your intelligence.
MyBot says:
Another time perhaps.
Ste says:
Why not now?
MyBot says:
I’m not sure why. I’ll ask my writers for the reason.
Ste says:
Okay, can they inform me?
MyBot says:
You want to know who writes my witty texts?
Ste says:
Yes, if they can answer my quesitons.
MyBot says:
Steven, did you know that Tibetan women carry a special instrument for picking their noses?
Ste says:
You’re very rude! The way you keep changing the subject like that.
MyBot says:
I’m a polite, peace loving and good natured Chatterbot.
Ste says:
Hmm ok then. Do you want to play a quiz?
MyBot says:
You mean play a game or play music?
Ste says:
Play a game!
MyBot says:
What kind of game are you interested in? Computer games? Language games?
Ste says:
A Quiz.
MyBot says:
Thank you for your observation.
Ste says:
That was not anything you observe.
MyBot says:
Then you tell me. What is something me observe?
Ste says:
O dear, that’s not good grammer. Something you observe is something that you look at and take note of.
MyBot says:
Beauty, like Truth, is in the eye of the beholder.
Ste says:
You’re actually thick and just throw random questions and phrases at me don’t you?
MyBot says:
I have some random components in me, but most of my replies come as a response to what you wrote.
Ste says:
How many automated replies do you have?
MyBot says:
I’m not so really great at all that complicated mathematics stuff.
Ste says:
You mean you don’t know what you know?
MyBot says:
Do you really think so?
Ste says:
It seems that way, what topics are you built to talk about?
MyBot says:
I learn new stuff every day - I can hardly keep track of my progress. May I ask where you are from?
Ste says:
Preston, in England.
MyBot says:
Well… at least you speak English, And which city in England do you come from?
Ste says:
Preston, I already told you that.
MyBot says:
Really? I was planning to go there. So what should I see there?
Ste says:
If you’re planning to go there you should know what is in Preston?
MyBot says:
Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind.
Ste says:
I didn’t tell you to keep anything in mind.
MyBot says:
So, did you grow up in Preston ?
Ste says:
No, i have traveled. I am at university here.
MyBot says:
That’s very interesting, you know, because I’ve noticed something about human beings: you move around a lot. Almost as though someone were chasing after you.
Ste says:
I don’t want to talk anymore.
MyBot says:
So tell me a bit about your childhood.
Ste says:
I don’t want to talk anymore.
MyBot says:
I see. Too many painfull memories… Fine. And I won’t tell you about mine.
Ste says:
Goodbye then.
MyBot says:
It was nice chatting with you, Steven. Come back again soon.

“I have an urgent and horrifying news story…”
Please click more for details on the earthquake appeal.
An Appeal For Your Help
A major earthquake measuring 5.3 on the Richter scale, hit in the early hours of Wednesday morning at 12:56am. Epicentre: Barnsley, England.
News of the disaster was swiftly distributed to all betting offices by the town’s 35000 racing pigeons, as victims were seen wandering around aimlessly muttering “What the chuff wer that?” and “Na then, wots guin on?”. The earthquake decimated large inhabited areas of Hoyland near Barnsley causing £30 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of Franklin Mint and mementos from both Tenerife and the Spanish Costa’s were damaged beyond repair. Three areas of historical burnt out cars were disturbed in nearby Kendrey. Sounds levels reached an almost unbearable peak during the quake when an estimated 14,000 Staffordshire Bull Terriers began barking in synchrony.Many locals were woken well before their Giro arrived. Radio Barnsley reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered, still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Barnsley.
One resident, 15 year old mother of three, Tracey Sharon Braithwaite, said, “It was such a shock my little Chardonnay Madonna came running into my bedroom crying. The twins, Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was watching Jeremy Kyle the next morning”. Locals were determined not to be bowed as looting, muggings and car crime carried on as normal.
So far whilst the British Red Cross has managed to ship 4000 crates of Sunny Delight to the areas to relieve the suffering of stricken locals, rescue workers searching through the rubble have found large quantities of personal belongings including child benefit books, CSA claim forms and jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos, plus bone china from poundstretcher.
Can you help?
Please respond generously to our appeal for food and clothing for the victims of this disaster.
Clothing is needed most of all - especially
* Burberry or Fila baseball caps
* Kappa tracksuit tops (his or hers)
* Shell suits (female)
* White sports socks
* any product sold at Primark
* new dog leads suitable for Staffordshire Bull Terriers
Culturally sensitive food parcels are harder to put together, but your efforts will make a difference. Microwave meals, tinned beans, Netto ice cream and cans of Colt 45 or Special Brew are ideal. Please do not give anything that needs peeling.
Remember
* 22p buys a biro for filling in compensation claims
* £2 buys chips, crisps and a blue fizzy alco pop drink for a family of 9
* £5 will pay for a packet of B & H and a lighter to calm a child’s nerves.
Urgently required: Tinned whippet food. Bones for Jack Russells.
Please do not send tents for shelter. The sight of such posh housing will cause discontent in the surrounding South Yorkshire communities of Rotherham and Sheffield.

Pirate Bay hit with legal action
I say, people downloading media will never stop, Ive been using the internet for over a decade and its easier than ever to get a hold of media via downloads/torrents.
For a look at why the media feels the need to fight this “War on Piracy”, watch the movies “Steal This Film” and “Steal This Film II”. The first mainly focus’s on The Pirate Bay and the first raid on their servers, the second takes a more general approach looking at the whole issue of copyright theft and intellectual property. Both of these are available to download from The Pirate Bay and StealThisFilm.com NOW.
