well I am a fan of books of conspiracy theories so those sometimes depress me when I think that some could actually be true. but a book I just read depressed me most. It's called The Bible code by Michael Drosnin. The book claims that all events in the past, present and future can be read in the original(?) text of the bible. There is a special computer program that searches for certain combinations in the text. I must say that i don't believe in destiny as such that you don't have any influence over your future and that everything you do has been set up. But the thing is: the computerprogram has filtered events as the murder of jfk, the rise of hitler, the murder of rabin, earthquake's and other stuff with the right names of the murderers or the right dates, so that's scarry and then when I read that the biblecode expects a nuclear war in 2006 it depressed me, for what if it's right?
"If ignorance is bliss, you must be orgasmic"
FYI: Michael Drosnin is, or has been, a journalist for Washington post and Wall street journal. His book is a research into the phenomenon of the code, not a religious text trying to glorify or justify the bible.
What's your favourite place/country for a holiday?

Regarding the codes, see http://www.math.caltech.edu/code/petition.html
Europe, especially SW England, Scotland, Greece, Italy and France... oh and Germany too. Haven't been to many Scandinavian countries but would love to visit Iceland, Norway, Sweden or Finland.

Ronald McDonald
What fictional character do you hate the most?
That would probably be Mr Ronald McDonald.
Those paintings in Mc Donalds scares me evry time.
I think he might be a relative to Big brother. He is evrywhere. His golden arcs see You.
If you had to live in a fictional story - what story would you choose?
"Man was made for joy and woe;
And when this we rightly know
Through the world we safely go" Blake
The Golden A ss by Lucius Apuleius

good question...The first thing that came to mind was an Abbott and Costello movie but I can't say why. After thinking about it probably a Star Trek movie (Next Generation of course)
Same Question just because it's so good.

well it's hard to choose from Gladiator, Troy, Arthur or the god father. they all have their charmes.

Then we sat on the edge of the earth, with our feet dangling over the side, and marvelled that we had found each other.
