A hot time in the old town tonight

From Slashdot: "A laptop reported to be a Dell burst into flame and was caught on camera during a recent Japanese conference. Guess this laptop could be a poster child to prove that laptops really can cause sterility if they are on your lap."

Ouch.

There's this DVD making the rounds of mosques' parking lots in Toronto that praises the 9/11 bombers as brave and faithful, in Farsi (I think) with English subtitles. It attempts to encourage our youth to become Jihadist suicide bombers. Why mosque parking lots? Well, one imam in Scarborough is quoted in the Globe and Mail as saying it wouldn't be welcomed by his parishoners IN the mosque as they believe that it wasn't al-Qaida terrorists who hijacked those planes, but rather Jewish terrorists. Apparently he quite sincerely shares his flock's belief, too.

I'd laugh, but that level of denial of reality is just too pathetic - and too terrifying.
