I'm not a WoW player but this is abosultely hilarious..."In an absolutely bizarre turn of events, a virtual disease is spreading through the World of Warcraft servers, killing off characters everywhere it spreads. The disease is a direct result of a new in-game instance created by Blizzard, which appears to be working not quite how it was intended."
Also see the silly vids the fans made here and here.

Singapore, Sedition, Bloggers, blah blah blah makes it to Plastic thanks to mr prolific chilim01 (Phnom Penh treating you well?). Unfortunately, the discussion there isn't any better than what was previously had on Slashdot. The usual (and mostly outdated) US centric views on our efficiency, chewing gum and caning talk with fillers about LKY and company. And interestingly, it's the second time I've ever read that us Singaporeans are akin to the Vulcans in the Star Trek Universe.Keywords: blog,sedition,singapore

I've been a lab rat before but this one might just be too much for me. DSO is looking for able bodied men to volunteer for a 7d/6n Sleep Disruption experiment to evaluate eye reflexes of people under major sleep deprevation and distruption.This includes a single "64-hour period of continuous wakefulness". Now I'll be really curious as to what a blog entry might look like during those final hours.... Sign Up Details Here.

Sixty years ago, Singapore was a very different place; the world itself was a very different place. In Europe, nations went through 6 long years of war, unimagined hardships, and deprivations. In Asia, war began at the end of 1941 and raged on for nearly 4 years. And if you were living in China, the war for you really began in 1937, while some historians would even consider the end of the Russo-Japanese war as the start of Japanese aggression in the region. It was a conflict on a truly global scale.Sixty years on, we commemorate a momentous event that made all the difference to the lives of people all across this part of the world - the formal surrender of the Japanese forces in the Pacific. Togoparts is organising a special mass ride to mark that occasion - the JS60 Heritage Mass Ride to take place on the eve of the 60th Anniversary of the Japanese Surrender to Allied Forces in Singapore (12 Sept 1945)
Date: Sunday 11 Sept 2005
Time: 8.30am
Place to meet: Harbourfront Carpark
