It was an unbearable high that lasted several days and ended in a naked, bloodied death near Newcastle. View the full article IT WAS an unbearable high that lasted several days and ended in a naked, bloodied death. A central coast truck driver, Glenn Punch, 44, and his girlfriend, Rachael Hickel, 42, injected a drug while in the cabin of his truck one afternoon two weeks ago. They thought it would just be some fun. But two days later, after further doses, they were in a deep psychosis. Suffering unbearable heat, both had shed their clothes. A naked Mr Punch had jumped a barbed wire fence in an industrial area near Newcastle and attacked a security guard before going i…

Hi, my friends were supposed to come over Thursday night and we were going to smoke some weed, so I rolled a few joints each for the 4 of us... then a while passes and they haven't shown up yet, so I decide to start smoking, then I just keep smoking until they're all gone, I texted my friend and he said he and his misses had a fight so he, his misses, and my other friend won't be over that night. I was really stoned... I ate A LOT. A full packet of bacon (fat included because I didn't really care at the time) at least 11, possibly more, slices of bread with margarine and a full packet of those milk coffee cookies. Friday I was still feeling kind of stoned, kind of reall…

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I believe it to be of some relevance. http://timesofindia....ow/15221982.cms " WASHINGTON: Scientists have developed a new drug which they claim can make you lose weight and keep it off for a longer period. Researchers from National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism in the United States found that the new drug increases sensitivity to the hormone leptin, a natural appetite suppressant found in the body. The study was published in the journal Cell Metabolism. "By sensitizing the body to naturally occurring leptin, the new drug could not only promote weight loss, but also help maintain it," senior study author Georg…

From cnet.com from pcmag.com Can't argue with protecting children online, but sure can question the methods. IMHO parents need to take responsibilty for their kids online safety, either by monitoring their internet usage or putting strict limitations on it. Your right to online privacy is under attack: facebook monitors your conversations, google caches your every mov, and now the government wants your isp to store every byte that crosses your connection for 2yrs (so that leo can dig through it looking for wrongdoing).

Telstra has been accused of tracking the internet use of its Next G mobile phone users and sending their internet history to a company in the United States. One of the telco's customers discovered that when he visited a website using his Next G network in Australia, a server in the United States would visit the same address almost instantly. Telstra says it is collecting the information for use in a new internet filter product, but internet users are outraged and are demanding the Australian Privacy Commissioner investigate. The tracking was confirmed by Mark Newton, who up until late last year was one of the longest serving technical engineers at Australian internet comp…

Sovereign Man Notes from the Field Date: May 31, 2012 Reporting From: New York City One of breakout standup routines from the late, great George Carlin was his 1972 monologue "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television." In the presence of polite company, I shall not repeat them... but rest assured, the routine is still hilarious to this day. I wish I could say the same about the Department of Homeland Security... I wish I could say this is all a big joke... that the government's "377 words you can never use online" is just some stupid comedy routine. But it's not. And you just can't make this stuff. After vigorous resistance, the Department of Homeland Security was fi…
