Some blogthings

19th April 2007

This blog seems a little dead, doesn’t it. In addition to that, I have forgotten that this was originally a personal blog. Anyway, some blogthings:)

You Are 65% Feminist
You are certainly a feminist - whether you know it or not.
You believe in gender equality, at least most of the time. You also believe there are a few exceptions.

Yes, I guess this sounds like me. I actually agree with this blogthing, unlike many of the other ones that I have tried. There are some things intended for men, such as proposing, paying for dinner;), etc.

Your Mind is 75% Cluttered
Your mind is quite cluttered. And like most clutter, it’s a bunch of crap you don’t need.
Try writing down your worst problems and fears. And then put them out of your mind for a while.

Yes, my mind is cluttered thinking about nonsense to the point in which I can’t distinguish important from obsolete nor pay attention when I’m supposed. Maybe I need to see a hypnotist to clear up my head (shh, not a word to my parents)

You Are Not a Cheapskate
When it comes to money, you’re very fair.
You’re generous when you can be, and you never cheat anyone out of what they deserve.
If you have the money, you enjoy splurging. But you never overspend.

This seems somewhat accurate too. I seem to be the one who calculates everything very carefully making sure not to rip myself off, but I don’t cheat people out of money either. I think these blogthings are becoming more accurate.Ok, enough. I was just bored.

iPod saves a life by slowing bullet

7th April 2007

Although the iPod has never been my favorite digital music player due to its limited compatibility, its more durable material may have the potential to take a bullet for its owner.

Soldiers in Iraq often carry around their gadgets to pass time, never considering the fact that such devices could be used as shields.

A bullet from an AK-47 (don’t ask me for details about that gun) was fired at soldier Kevin Garrad to the chest, but his iPod happened to be in the way. Apparently AK-47 bullets can penetrate the Inteceptor body armor vests that soldiers wear.
