My take on this from an Australian point of view:

Here in Australia we have a fairly low view of government - but most people simply expect them to be incompetent and merely to seek their own re-election. Corruption tends to be low-level - abuse of phone cards and travel expenses spring to mind.

The Wikileaks revelations haven't shown the Australian government in a particularly negative light - merely as a lap dog caught between sucking up to the States for military protection and to China for export dollars.

But for those who haven't been paying attention to what governments are actually up to - the leaks have actually opened their eyes and (hopefully) will cause them to ask tougher questions in the future, especially with regard to foreign policy.

Interestingly - this year we had a whistleblower elected to Federal Parliament - Andrew Wilkie - a former intelligence officer who resigned to reveal that we knew there were no WMDs before invading Iraq.

Welcome to Australian politics - how much to suck up to each bully without pissing off the other because we so heavily rely on US for defence and China for $$$.

Plus potential advertisers will be able to try to sell you what they know you don't own!

I think we've just solved the mystery that Dr Rush on the Destiny has been working on.

It's just the 99% of bad apples ruining it for the rest of you?

My wife baked me a Tux cake for my 30th birthday party, and whenever I see my three year old niece she wants to see my netbook with the Tux sticker on it.

Futurama - S02E08 - Raging Bender. The crew go to a movie theatre and vote for what Calculon should do next. The result: Tedious Paperwork

And Psalm 104:15 - God provides "wine that gladdens the heart of man".

An annulment is not a divorce. A divorce is the dissolution of a marriage, an annulment is a declaration that the marriage was invalid. This has all sorts of legal consequences. From TFA, "In annulment cases, the OSG enters an appearance in court to ensure there is no collusion between husband and wife when they seek to annul their union or to see to it that the nullification of a marriage is based on valid grounds."

pwned would be one - I've even seen [wned where someone has tried to write pwned but missed.

Not sure about pr0n - more an obfuscation attempt than a keyboard artefact I suspect.

It's paying to watch cars go around and around a racetrack. Exciting at the beginning, but it gets pretty repetitive.

Well I'm trademarking superfluous apostrophes and you owe me big time!

Don't blame me - I voted for Kodos.

I spent some time as a teenager attending a fairly wacky Pentecostal church, which featured speaking in tongues, holy laughing and being slain in the Spirit. Looking back on it now, I am convinced that these were mild hypnotic states induced by a combination of repetitive music and arousing people's expectations of something weird happening.

I am currently a Christian but now speak against such manipulative practices.

A firm, shapely, feminine butt is a beautiful thing... until you remember what it does.
