Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

Best name EVER!
Phuc Dat Bich posted a picture of his passport on Facebook to prove it was his real name
IF YOU have ever thought your name sounded bad, spare a thought for this guy.
Phuc Dat Bich (yes, that is his real name) was tired of being accused of having a “false and misleading” name, so he took matters in to his own hands.
After having his Facebook account shut down three times, the 23-year-old Vietnamese-Australian posted a picture of his passport to the site to prove it was real.
“I find it highly irritating the fact that nobody seems to believe me when I say that my full legal name is how you see it,” he wrote. “I’ve been accused of using a false and misleading name of which I find very offensive. Is it because I’m Asian? Is it?

Twitter May Have Just Doomed Humanity by Trolling an Artificial Intelligence Bot
By Ryan Faith
March 25, 2016 | 6:15 am
Some bright bulb at Microsoft Research had the clever idea of turning a machine learning program loose on Twitter yesterday to learn how humans interact with each other. Humans, predictably, interacted terribly.
Within 24 hours, the Twitter bot @TayandYou had turned spectacularly ugly in the way only the internet can turn things ugly, spewing racism and hate at Twitter uses in a series of horrifying tweets. Most of them have already been deleted, perhaps in a bid to ensure that any future artificial intelligence (AI) won't have evidence of what horrible bastards humans were back before AI took over the world. Or maybe Microsoft was simply trying to avoid bad PR. Regardless, there are screenshots.
And those future AIs would be right to be pissed about how humankind warped the mind of this poor machine learning program.

Is that the story of Peter the Dolphin and a scientist who went on massive acid trips before deciding a researcher would live with a dolphin for 8 week in the hope they could then start communicating in English.

The headline title on the front page? "One dead after car crashes into Queensland funeral" I rather suspect there was one dead before, too.

That's the exact same story as the pig whore house in the US but some of the details have changed, a proven hoax.
