I adivse you all to go read this shocking OXFAM report about military expenses in the world in 2006. Here's a little quote from it :
"Global military spending this year is estimated to reach US$1,059bn, outstripping the highest figure reached during the Cold War in real terms, and roughly fifteen times current international aid expenditure. This growth in military budgets has caused a boom for the arms industry with the top 100 arms companies seeing their sales increase by almost 60 per cent from US $157bn in 2000 to US $268bn in 2004."
And here's a reminder that you have THREE days left to go see the World Press Photo. Hurry up, it's a must-see!

You can "explore" classic banned/challenged books online!

BIG CHOPPER!! DRILL TURN!!
Ah...the constant flow of important emails! The annual sign that uni has started up once again with a new batch of U1's and a void for last year's U3's.
In other parts of our country choppers are still flying and drills are just getting fired up. The leaves are already changing and snow is just around the corner. Nothing like an airtight to keep you warm at night.
Get 'er done!

facebook just got creepier
I've had it with facebook. There's bound to be something better out there that'll satisfy our digital socializing without all the creepiness of facebook.
Determined, I did some googling and there's a bewildering number of other social networking sites out there... So there's bound to be one we can migrate to effortlessly. I'm committed to spending some spare time finding a better alternative, provided there's enough support. Now I just need some feedback on what we'd like out of such a ...thing
I'll just throw it out as a guiding suggestion, perhaps a Flickr 'Private Group' would do the trick. It is mainly geared toward photos, but with plenty of room for commenting. With the combination of this blog (i.e., facebook's wall done right) and a communal photo gallery, what else do we really want?

Attention Ultimate Stoners
Alright EPSers. This is a shout out to all potential Ultimate Stoners enthusiasts, veterans and newbies alike. Please note the sign up sheet on the fridge in the lounge, then use it. We need a team by the 12th, so give me your names, and put aside the $10 to get this thing rolling. If we don't get this off the ground soon, we might find ourselves trying to climb a slippery shitrope.
