North Korea is more fucked than I realized

I can't
figure out how to embed the video so here is a link worth
watching: North Korea: Children of the Secret
State. The guy that did
most of the filming not only escaped from North Korea, but returned
and escaped again several times to get this footage. Find another
person willing to do that kind of journalism. (via Digg, Google,

Steve Irwin, Croc Hunter

Steve
Irwin, the crazy Australian that shocked most of us with his
way-too-close encounters with animals, died on monday. He was
stabbed in the heart by a stingray and likely died instantly. I was
pretty sad to hear that he died. He always made me laugh and
brought the animal world closer to me. At the same time, I am not
so surprised that he died. He lived an extremely dangerous life and
relished it.
What else is there to say? Having recently read the Iliad, the death of a popular figure is a recurring theme for me. Perhaps his wife was more prepared for the possibility, but I doubt the children were. Sad.
But still, he was quite the little ripper while he lived.
