He can get a QML drug test for $25 so we have a test subject So fire away no matter how strange it might sound.

This is from a while ago. I wonder if any progress has been made? Beat rust with a cannabis car 5/21/01 Sydney - Australian researchers believe cars could be made from hemp - the cannabis plant - within a decade. A team at the University of New South Wales is working to create a plant-fibre based material to make biodegradable cars to beat the growing problem of getting rid of rusting car bodies. Associate Professor Alan Crosky, of the School of Material Science and Engineering, said hemp looked more viable than coconuts or banana trees. Crosky said that with the increasing cost of getting rid of cars the development of an environmentally-friendly ma…

Anyone see the crap that they pulled in the USa, the "land of the free" () the other day? Full scale drug raids, with cops holding guns on school children, terrorising them, as they searched their bags and lockers. The kids fell to the ground, were made to lay with their hands out, as if they had commited a crime, and scared them shitless. How much dope did the cops find? None. The cops reckon they did nothing over the top. And the principle says he saw nothing wrong with what they did. It seems that the land of the free, the centre of western civilastion, the leader of the free world, and other self proclaimed bullshit names; finds no offence in menacing children…

I love election time So much fun to be had, I love the way they blatantly bag each other out in the weeks leading up to the big day. These big shot pollies that are meant to be running our country, are basically slinging insults like children at each other and going, 'nernernerner' :: It looks as though the Green party prefs could be a major factor in Labour winning, and Latham seems fairly popular compared to John How Odd So, fess! Who voted for who? And why?

Les Hoddy's

Though still a proud and strong man, and above all loyal to the Gypsy Jokers Motorcycle Club he co-founded in the early 1970s, media and friends agree Mr Hoddy was feeling the effects of constant attention from the authorities hellbent on breaking him. He was not the same man who thumped a cop during a brawl when WA police unnecessarily harassed mourners during a club associate's funeral in 2001. He was not the same man renowned for fighting out of his weight class and he certainly wasn't the same man who vowed to fight tooth-and-nail to win back the assets that had been taken from him. Reduced to driving a car left unused when close friend Gary Ernest White was convi…
