The Best Fictional Doomsday Devices 340

Ostracus writes to tell us that Wired has an interesting summary of some of the best fictional doomsday devices. These devices have featured heavily in movies, television, and fiction; their list includes favorites from Dr. Strangelove to Futurama. What devices have they missed? "By the time Futurama's sci-fi satire hit the scene, creator Matt Groening had the doomsday-device shtick down. Case in point: the Spheroboom. This highly explosive space/time-bending device isn't just the prized jewel of the show's mad scientist, Professor Farnsworth. It also destroys anyone/anything not wearing a 'Doom-proof Platinum Vest.'"

Journal Journal: Sneakemail is down! Oi vey! 3

Sneakemail, the lovely disposable forwarding email addresses service, seems to be down. Seems the address is not resolving.

And it's horrible. I didn't even make a backup of the addresses! And besides, I was always a great advocate of Sneakemail and recommended everyone to use it.
Bah.

BTW: I am looking for a girlfriend.

Journal Journal: "How can people be so heartless?"

I had a blind date. We met at the Book Week.. and she rejected me.. I'm writing this in this place instead of in one of my Hebrew blogs, because she promised she'd date me if I give her the URLs of at least some of my identities - and she doesn't know about this one.
I felt that we might have a future together. But she didn't... it's because she's picky, probably.. and it sucks.
At least she allowed me to play with me with her hair. But I'm so disappointed.

Journal Journal: Arafat is dead 3

Apparantly I can't find an English news source that says that Arafat is dead, so I'll just translate some of what is written in this Ynet article.

Arafat is dead. The message will be anounced this morning

Journal Journal: Dear Arafat

Dear Arafat,

Last time you were in danger, I felt the tension as well. I was monitoring you all the time and couldn't leave my eye off CNN. You can't believe how tense I was all that time. I couldn't do anything else besides being updated about you, until you were over it.

I hope you won't make me tense again.
Please try harder to die this time.

Thank you.

Journal Journal: Sasha's doing problems 1

Here's a very boring journal entry. I feel like sharing the slashdotters with it, but you don't really have to read. Really. I'm writing it here and not in my other blogs because I know he doesn't monitor this one.

Remember Sasha? Well he called me yesterday and we talked and then we hung up, and then he called again..

Journal Journal: Won't monitor friends journals anymore... 3

I'm getting too many new journal notifications by email lately, and its kinda annoying.
Last time it bugged me, I shortened my friends list, but I don't think I can do it anymore. It's so unfriendly. So instead, I'll just turn off journal notifications.

Journal Journal: My little sis and my parents - joy and fun 2

My little sister decided to have a party this week. She set a date, planned the details and even invited a band. She just forgot one thing - to update my parents about it - tell them on what date she plans it and all.

So now, out of principle probably, my parents are not going to allow it. They are talking about that in the kitchen right now, but I presume she will resort to shouting and then go back to her room accompanied with a door slam. Joy!

Journal Journal: Earthquake in Israel! 2

There was an earthquake here around 10:20, 4.5 in Richter scale (I know there's another scale but they don't use it in Israel yet). I was standing in my room and then it starting shaking. At first I though it was vibrations from a big truck, but it was too strong. The earthquake happened in all of Israel and in a part of Lebanon too.

Journal Journal: I am not the center of the church! 6

Oi va'avoi!
You know what I've just found out? That nave is a real word in English! So I wanted to tell you all that I'm not the center of the church, nor the center of the wheel.
My "Nave" is pronounced differently too. It's not "neyve" like you may think, but it's "na-ve". The E at the end is not silent.

Now, that has been a useless journal entry, hasn't it?
