Some strange (and over optimistic) search engine hit on the Samizdata over the last week: via Google: conspiracy+code+illuminatus January 14th, 2002 | Comments are closed
 In answer to many e-mails asking about it… yes, this ad is absolutely real. I scanned it in this evening myself. It is the front page of a one fold high quality A4 size colour brochure that fell out of one of the UK aviation magazines on my floor. Unfortunately I cannot with any certainty say which one because I just this evening noticed it in the pile. I’m sure that if other UK aviation enthusiasts (those not in Greek prisons) check their stacks they will find their own copies. They may be worth holding on to.

The following has to be intentional. I just cannot believe that anyone could be this dumb, even in an advertising agency. Just so those outside the UK understand this fully, dates are written differently over here. Day/Month/Year rather than the american Month/Day/Year.  Take your pick: sick or stupid?

It seems that ‘People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ (PETA) feel that to be a good Christian, one must refrain from eating meat. There is even a Christian Vegetarian website. Now as a libertarian, I regard vegetarianism as a totally acceptable life style choice for other people and I am not knocking it…however it is not something I choose to follow myself. I shall stick to my omnivorous ways. I just have one question… if vegetarianism matters one jot to Christianity, then why did Christ perform the miracle of turning five loaves and two fishes into many in order to feed the multitude (Matthew 14)? Why not five loaves and two tofu cubes? November 30th, 2001 | Comments are closed
Wired magazine reports that the nuclear bomb documents found by Times journalists in an abandoned Al Qaeda house in Kabul might be spoof plans published by some gonzo pranksters several years ago. This is indeed hilarious and it should now be clear to all that Al Qaeda are downloading everything on the Internet with the word ‘thermonuclear’ in it because they too are just misunderstood pranksters. We must stop bombing Afghanistan forthwith as it must now be clear that flying airliners into the WTC was just a good natured jape that got a little out of hand. Similarly, the only reason they have been sending anthrax through the post is a simple linguistic misunderstanding: they were told to send Andrex (a brand of toilet tissue) but as English is not their first language, they got a little confused…hey, anyone can make a mistake! Any day now, intelligence sources report we will soon hear that Osama will be calling on Bert from Sesame Street to replace slain Al Qaeda number two, Muhammed Atef, as Chief Deputy Prankster.

Beyond its entertainment value, Baywatch has enriched and, in many cases, helped save lives. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to continue with a project which has has such a significance for so many. – David Hasselhoff, Actor November 20th, 2001 | Comments are closed
