My Big Fat Greek Easter?

Hey, fans... all... 2 of you... Guess what... Kitchens suck.

Now for something unrelated.......... Around The World/Net

Greek Easter Celebration

On a small Greek Island called Chicos, they celebrate Easter in a different (read: Kick-ass) way.

They separate the island in two and the opposing sides launch up to 50,000 fireworks at each other's church, trying to hit the bells of the opposing side.

Sounds great, looks spectacular. Take a look at the video after the jump, and tell me how many firworks you'll be donating to help me do this in my backyard.

Today's post: General.

LARGE HADRON COLLIDER DESTROYED EARTH YESTERDAY.

According to this website, the earth was pre-emptively destroyed by CERN scientists in an attempt to prevent the LHC from destroying earth.

It's time to accept it people, the earth is gone. Regular posts will continue.

Boom!

Missed the headshot.

Hey, Chef Snap here.

Oh, yes. I'm a chef now. Go figure.

It's been... A long time, so here's how I'm going to attack this.

Each blog post is going to be in a different category, ranging from Auto, to Video games.

Today: Auto.

2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera

Lambourghini shows off their new 5-Liter V10, 523 HP, 376 lbft, 6-Speed 2-seater.

The other numbers to fall in love with include:

• 0-60 in 3.5s
• 0-100 in 7.9s
• 1/4 mile in 11.7s
• Top speed 189mph

This Italian cruise missile will set you back about US$250K. Now, if you're like me, and can't afford it (unlike the 440 Americans who register a Lam per year), you can tell yourself that you don't like it because it's thirstier than a pot-smoking camel. Oh yes, 11mpg is enough to turn a few heads... Away, but hey, if you can afford one in the first place, a $3000 "guzzler tax" won't bother you.

There's lots to say about this machine, but my wallet is hurting, and I'm feeling poorer and poorer knowing that I can't even afford the mats of that vehicle ($650).

Now, onto something more... Affordable.

Ford Unveils 65mpg Mid-Sizer

Too bad America won't be seeing that for a while. Apparently the new Fiesta ECOnetic is only going to be released in Europe, for economical reasons:

• This vehicle runs on Diesel, and the US doesn't take to Diesel very well. In fact, almost none at all. As we know, most vehicles coming out of the US (apart from trucks) run on Petrol, and apparently people don't like the idea of powering their cars with that stinky stuff that big rigs use (Maybe they'll regret that now).
• Ford has been taking record losses over the past few years, burning through $1bil per year in reserve funds.
• And, because of the previous two, it would be a bad move to bring it into the US, seeing that this will be built in Europe.

We all know that Diesel prices have shot up recently, but looky here:

$3.70 gasoline. 30 mpg. 15 gallon tank. = 450 miles for $55.50

$4.70 diesel. 65 mpg. 15 gallon tank. = 975 miles for $70.50

You think about it.

Now, for something different: What Snapple is Up to.

So, i'm building a PC. My friend donated a MoBo by MSI (I still don't know which model, but it's red), and I had an ATI Radeon 9550 Graphics card laying around, and it fit, so hooray.

Soooooo, I'm going to buy:

1. A Processor (Either the 2.8 by AMD, or a Pentium 4, or a Dual Core.)
2. A case (about $4500) that kicks ass. Has a transparent side, with blue neon lights.
3. A generic Sound Card (or a Creative one for about $2500 more)
4. Wireless Card
5. Keyboard and USB mouse
6. 200GB IDE HDD (I would buy a SATA and buy a SATA/IDE port, but the SATA that I wanted is out of stock, and the IDE is cheaper anyways)
7. Oh snap, I need a DVD drive...
8. 2GB Ram
9. 3-1n-1 VG Controller Adapter... Yeah, I want to play Ace Online with my gamecube controller.

Soo... Yeah, oh, did I mention that I play Ace Online now? It's a cool MMORPG Sci-Fi Combat Flight sim... Youtube is your friend, and I'm too lazy. If anyone's interested, hit me up in-game. My name is CrowMagnum and I play on Prelude server. I'm not going to tell you what nation I play in, for political reasons in game.

So, this is me.
