How many coffees can an employee take daily before he has to deal with sarcastic comments and staring eyes ?

A woman’s assessment of the attractiveness of a man is influenced by how other women view him.

Among females in other species, “mate choice copying” has already been spotted among guppies (fish), Japanese quail (bird) and zebra finches (bird), but this is the first time the phenomenon has been confirmed among humans.

So, women aren’t much brighter than a bird ???

A Saudi court has ordered a drug user to spend six months memorizing the Koran, but he faces a year in prison if he fails to recite the Muslim holy book by heart.

Interesting concept. Occidental justice system could try something like this for some crimes: you can only get out when you can recite a holy book by heart. I would really be curious to see the rehabilitation potential of this method.

I’m wondering about the purpose of my life. Which amount of energy out of my capitalist everyday life will be available for something ? And what that something will be ? I can spend 20 years into a superb philosophical book that no one will be interested to publish… Will I look at my life and wonder how days, years, decades passed by without any significant action about significant issues ?

I don’t think that’s narcissical, or presumptuous to intend to do such action in my life. I don’t care about being someone, but I want to do something with my life…

I thinking almost everyday about doing something but I don’t feel like doing so. I may wait for some call, some inspiration, but in the other hand I fear it will only come with hard work.

Garfield has his point of view about the purpose of life.

Hedonism is always an interesting point of view… Maybe the most accessible way to serenity…

Montreal finally looks like winter…

Awful, awful survey made by Quebecor network. They wanted to know more about racism in Quebec. So they figured out they should ask two racist questions (!!!).

Do you have a very good, good, bad or very bad opinion of the members of the following communities : Arab, Asian, Italian, Jewish, Latino, Black.

Generally, do you think that the members of the following communities are working more, as much or less than French Quebecers : Arab, Asian, Italian, Jewish, Latino, Black.

When you have an opinion about other communities as a whole, you are racist. Around me, I hear a lot more “they are” than “let’s not generalize”.

This “they” is a big problem. What’s the point of getting all these immigrants in if we can’t include them in a big “we” ? Do we need taxi drivers that bad ?

I wonder how many people give back a wallet they found without picking the money ? The half ? More, less ?

I also wonder how many lost wallet the average man finds in his life. I’m not even 30 and I found 2.

This man got into the honest column after 62 years.

Canadians will be allowed to buy an electric gun for their personal safety. That’s about 350$.

Personnally, I prefer something like pepper spray.

Quebec environmentalists anger about an evil hydro-electric project that will mess a lot of land, including a superb river.

But when we know that USA and Ontario uses a lot of coal and nuclear power, should Quebec mess a bloody lot of lands to sell them cleaner power ?

There is also opposition about wind-power. Ugly. Noisy. Some patrimonial group in France is trying to make a country free of wind turbine.

What, do you think that a coal power plant is cute, pal ? Do you think that a radioactive waste disposal site is patrimonial ?

Consuming less energy is part of the solution. But not the only one. Even more is the world eventually runs on electric car. Do we want electric car powered by coal ? Wow, that’s a better idea that a car running on gas…
