  1. Well you don't need legs to drive a taxi. Just a willingness to express an opinion on just about anything, regardless of whether your passengers give a toss or not. "I'm not a rascist, but...."

    Australia still has some taxi drivers that can trace back their origins to the first convict deported there?

    Doesn't work that way in New York City, Stocholm or Helsinki. Dunno about more remote parts of this country, within the wilderness or so.

  2. Manipulating smaller constituents of matter is not a small feat. It's all connected! To get in grips with the small, is about the same as get into the very big. Well, mostly. What one is about to do with a concept like scale invariance?

    I, for one, would appreciate a machine that would turn water into wine and would not make funny out of the creators of such thing.

  3. It's the other way around, Russian are coming here, in increasing numbers.

    Some parts of Finland are almost as filled with Russians as London City and Gulf States are. I, for one, welcome every Russian with steady finances to our small country. Or, how much positive impact these new immigrants will bring to our society, especially what comes to our national IQ.

    Natural Gas is not that important here, even if import energy from the cheapest sources available. You have a point though, we should learn how to behave, and generate more electricity into the common Nordic energy market.

    Which brings us back to the Kiwi. South and North Island Protectorate, or these two Islands put together to form a Common Kiwi Australian Territory? Options, so much options! During the transitory period, financial issues will become important as well, I'd guess, but surely the Australians can lend a hand to their compatriots in need?

  4. Finland has never been a part of Russia, silly bat. Grand Duchy of Finland was ruled by a shared Monarch and the Russians did indeed give the Swedish a sound beating, forcing them to become the most peace loving country after Micronesia.

    Say, how about if Maoris are given their lands back and Kiwis will resettle back to the Old Country? There's no business like sheep business! :)

  5. Sounds reasonable enough.

    We here in the North are proposing something similar, A renewed Finnish-Swedish Federation would probably serve the interests of both countries in the larger European ever closer union context. And in any case, HRH Madeleine must become Duchess of Finland in some capacity, that is not negotiable. She even seems to have personal problems that are often associated with the Finns, surely making her even more popular amongst her future subjects.

  6. Sheep related or women's business?

    Almost everything has a different meaning down there, wouldn't it be better for the World if the Russians would kindly send Krylya Sovjetov and Torpedo Gorgy (Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod) to teach the Middle-Earthers some facts about Hockey? They could teach a thing or two about Navy and Air Force too, considering those flying beasts and creatures taken from the JJR Tolkien's schematics are not a proper form of naval aviatation!

    Let's go Flames!

  7. Pure "orgasmo"! Introduction to astrophysics

    Meant for non-science majors, but fear not, the subject (which is not astrophysics, but does indeed involve some things in space) is being given a decent enough treatment, meaning one's intelligence is not being insulted, at least not by the usual way. I mean, usually these 'cross-overs' are clearly the stupidest waste of time ever invented, for everyone involved, but not this time.

    Of course 'a usual humanist' hailing far-away countries would do better taking a LSD pill and waving his or her hands in the air, some things cannot be helped, but for everyone else this should be quite interesting.

    One should know simple things like Virial theorem to really appreciate the effort, but this is not entirely necessary.

  8. Really, I thought it was more like some NRA/Tom Clancy/Chuck Norris/any other rightwing nut fantasy. Guess I never recognized Red Dawn correctly as communist propaganda!

    Did this story include some version of National Redoubt or not?

    It's elementary, Dr. Watson! Was it Mr. Norris or somebody else who posted this piece?

    This and other stories put forward by the "useful idiots" fit seamlessly to the overall fabric of "anti-globalisation/market economy" themes, only delivery style and methods sometimes differ, ranging from Naomi Klein to the western cooperative parties of the former Soviet and current Russian "securocrats", despite the latter being from a different political platform.
