“19th century coal miners would traditionally take canaries in cages down into the mine with them. The birds would act as an early warning system for carbon monoxide gas. When the canary stopped singing the miner would know that he had to escape the chamber he was in.”
“This particular yellow canary was obviously a favoured pet as well as a working bird. Inscribed with the legend : ‘In Memory of Little Joe. Died November 3rd 1875. Aged 3 Years’

Kim Jong-il
North Korea’s neighbours and the United States were on high alert Monday after the death of leader Kim Jong-il plunged one of the world’s most heavily militarised regions into fresh uncertainty.
China and Russia offered condolences and support for their ally nation’s new leaders, while Western states expressed hope that a change in leadership could ease North Korea out of decades of extreme isolation and better the lives of its long suffering people.
Kim suffered a heart attack while travelling on a train, North Korean state media said, setting up the autocratic, well-armed and nuclear-ambitious state for only its second leadership change since the Korean war ended in an uneasy truce in 1953.
Many experts have warned that a transition could lead to a period of instability. In a reminder of the permanent volatility on the divided peninsula, South Korean media reported that the North test fired a short-range missile off its eastern coast.
The North’s biggest ally, China, expressed official grief over Kim’s sudden death and, in an important signal, threw its weight behind his apparent successor, Kim Jung-un.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper urged North Korea to “close this sad chapter in its history” and called on it new leadership to promote “the well-being of its people and stability on the Korean peninsula.”
“Kim Jong-il will be remembered as the leader of a totalitarian regime who violated the basic rights of the North Korean people for nearly two decades,” Mr Harper said in a statement.
“We hope his passing brings positive change allowing the people of North Korea to emerge from six decades of isolation, oppression and misery. The regime’s reckless decisions have resulted in North Korea being an impoverished nation and a country isolated from the international community because of its dangerous nuclear proliferation and ballistic missile programs,” Mr Harper added.

Graffiti Addicted Teens In Self Expression Rehab?
A city program is now weaning graffiti artists off their addiction by training them to use acrylic paints and paintbrushes instead of paint cans.
Whenever a teenager is arrested for tagging in the streets, they are sent to the ten-week ‘Paint Straight’ course, which takes place at Brooklyn Family Court. Established by graffiti legend Rafael Perez (Tatu Xmen), the teens are able to relate to their teachers and understand that the lessons only work for their benefit.
“When I look at you I look at myself 20 years ago,” Perez said. “And one day you’re going to need a job.”
According to his estimate, Perez caused millions of dollars of damage in his time. He was never arrested, because at the time New York put all its efforts towards reducing homicide rates.
Graffiti book author David Villorente said “There was no real risk of getting caught until Giuliani got into office. I was still painting trains when it was a slap on the wrist.”
Perez told his students “I love graffiti, but now I love it legally. If somebody writes on my house I’m pissed.”
Probation Commissioner Vincent Schiraldi explained “I’m not the commissioner of cultural affairs. At the end of the day my job is to make sure these kids don’t get arrested. And this is about as good as it gets.”
Since the program’s inception, only one in 33 teens has been rearrested.
“We’re not critics,” said Sergeant Herb Mai of the NYPD’s Vandals Squad told the kids. “Some of it, if it’s on the canvas, it’s gorgeous. You have a talent. It’s an amazing talent. Use it the right way.”

Don't Say Sorry Too Soon
Let's keep it simple, when it comes to beautiful women men are fuckin' stupid. We do almost everything wrong that we aren't supposed to on a date or whatever. One of the most common mistakes is saying sorry for things you shouldn't be sorry for, yet you still say sorry because you think her beauty is like...the holy grail or something. She isn't...and she takes a shit just like you and if she doesn't shower in 1 day she will smell like you too...or worse. Treat her like a person, if she's awesome...great...if she sucks, let her know and keep moving along. Do you spend your life telling an old friend how much of an asshole they are? NO! You don't. Don't give your attention to a woman that doesn't deserve it either, and never, ever say sorry when you did nothing wrong. Be a fuckin' man.
In my scientific study, I find that you are a fucking pu$$y if you say sorry too much.
