Yahoo! News - Falwell remarks prompt Hindu-Muslim clashes, five killed.
Fuck, they're all such idiots. I've lost track of whose side I'm on.
A couple of months ago I tried a polyphasic sleep cycle which involved sleeping for 20-30 minutes every 4 hours. (Found out about it on this page: Uberman's sleep schedule.) It didn't go so well. I had posted the log on my home page before and am just moving it to the weblog. Click-through for it.

So, out of the blue, my father decides to have my horoscope done by someone and sends it to me. It always surprising to me that for such an intelligent man, he hasn't been able to throw off the yoke of superstition. It's also surprising (or rather, unsurprising) that the horoscope usually agrees with everything that he wants me to do.
Some excerpts: "I think he should prepare himself for 2007. Do MBA.". I didn't know horoscopes were that specific. "He is going through the period of Rahu, so sometimes he will feel like a millionaire and sometimes like a begger." Sounds about right. "So until 2007 he can wait and do the learning. He will feel like the money is there but it will not be there." Awesome. "In his life he has to work hard but gains will be far less than the efforts." Fan-fucking-tastic.

Bobo, this was send to me by your Chachaji:
Bhai,
Namaste,
I was looking at Bobo's chart. He is Manglik. So let me check his horoscope before he gets married. Actually, he is going through the period of Rahu, so sometimes he will feel like a millionaire and sometimes like a begger. But, in spite of that, Rahu is a good teacher. This Dasa ends on 9 April 2007. After that, he will be in Jupiter's Dasa. Jupiter is sitting in Singh Rashi, which means Jupiter's effects will be increased. He will be a good administrator at that time. So until 2007, he can pass struggling with job or study; the choice is his. He will have materialistic gain afer that time. So until 2007 he can wait and do the learning. He will feel like the money is there but it will not be there. It is like a mrig trishna (deer sees the water but nothing is there). His Rahu is sitting in the self/personal house, so it will bring up and downs for him. In his life he has to work hard but gains will be far less than the efforts. I think he should prepare himself for 2007. Do MBA. When Jupiter's time will start he can rise. He may have more than 1 marriage. His wife may not live long. Also partnership in his life won’t work. If he wants to do business he has to go on his own. His mind may not feel happy at the time. His relationship with his younger brother is very good. His stars help his younger brother. He has more favourable stars for his younger bother. Also he brings money to his mother’s house. His stars help his mother's family with money. His Mercury is very powerful. So he will help her mother and mother's family with money and intelligence. Also Uranus is sitting in the 8th house which may cause sudden gains or loss in the mother’s family. His kids will have lot of name and fame (sun in 5th house and saggitarian). Saturn is sitting in the 2nd house, which will make his mind unhappy at the times. He should have a very sensitive mind. Because of Mars in the 1st house he will be very active. He is not a religious type of person at all. He will be very good in his profession but results are not as good.
Bhai, I will write some more tomorrow.
