Big Trollface in Finnish newspaper
Friday, January 28, 2011

It's an article about Internet trolling in Kalena newspaper. Some of the text's translation (more - here):
"Gary started trolling about three years ago.via
'I do it mostly for my own pleasure. Maybe it began from getting frustrated from people complaining all the time. I get pleasure when I create disturbance and people get angry.'
Gary spams and trolls. He may appear using his own name or under a nickname.
'I don't bother to spam anywhere else than in Facebook. That too has become tiresome. Nowadays I troll more.'
Have you ever thought how mean it is to disturb other internet users?
'Yes. Every day. I don't mind.'"

Egypt has left the Internet
Friday, January 28, 2011

Since last night, Internet in Egypt has been shut down.
Confirming what a few have reported this evening: in an action unprecedented in Internet history, the Egyptian government appears to have ordered service providers to shut down all international connections to the Internet. Critical European-Asian fiber-optic routes through Egypt appear to be unaffected for now. But every Egyptian provider, every business, bank, Internet cafe, website, school, embassy, and government office that relied on the big four Egyptian ISPs for their Internet connectivity is now cut off from the rest of the world. Link Egypt, Vodafone/Raya, Telecom Egypt, Etisalat Misr, and all their customers and partners are, for the moment, off the air.Renesys | via

Friday, January 28, 2011

Nicholas Harrington, 16, told CNN affiliate WPLG that he was behind the mystery, with a little help from his friends.CNN

Harrington shared with the station home video from before the holidays, when he and his father moved the baby grand piano from his grandmother's house to his, on a boat.
Weeks later, after purposely setting the piano on fire at a party, he, his father, and two of his friends decided to place it out on the sandbar, WPLG reported. "It was a solid surface. It wouldn't float away," Harrington told the station.

In other news, P. Diddy is being sued for a trillion dollars
Friday, January 28, 2011
Not The Onion: A woman named Valerie Joyce Wilson Turks decided it's time to take legal action against P. Diddy, his ex-girlfriend, Kim Porter, and police brutality victim Rodney King, because they "knocked down the WTC and then they all came and knocked my children down".
She also claims Sean "P. Diddy" Combs date-raped her 24 years ago and that he is the father of her child. She is asking for 900 billion dollars in child support and 100 billion for 'loss of income.'
Oh, and also, P. Diddy should return that casino chip "worth over 100 zillions of dollars" he stole from her.

The goose has since become an unlikely member of the Highland cattle herd and is completely devoted to Hamish, born two weeks after the goose lost her mate.
The unlikely pair have been inseparable since.
