Hamburg, Germany now studying ways to eliminate cars by 2034. Simple solution: Just raise the price of gas to $20 a gallon and see how that works out [Unlikely]
Philip.paulssonI think it'd be great if we got rid of cars (except for taxis and buses?) in Manhattan! Well, so long as they put in more citibike stations, that is.

Philip.paulsson"Arse symphony"!!!
Today, I had an upset stomach all day at work. When lunch break came, I rushed to the bathroom. Just as I turned into an unstoppable human whoopie cushion, a co-worker walked in. He heard the entire arse symphony, and just asked "What the fuck, dude?!" as he left. FML

Cee Lo Looks Really, Really Freaking Cold
by Rebecca Rose
Philip.paulssonHahaha the game was good! COLD though. And it was hilarious, when they announced during the first period that you should stay in your seats for the ceelo concert at the first intermission, people started booing. Then they started chanting "Ceelo sucks!" It was hilarious.

An Important And Definitive Ranking Of Every James Bond Film
Philip.paulssonNow I want to watch all the bond films again. And play Goldeneye.
All the puns, gadgets, girls and ludicrous villains you could wish for. Note: Never Say Never Again and Casino Royale (the first one) have been deemed “not canon”.
Die Another Day (2002).
Hardly the first time Bond jumped the shark, but this was definitely the first time he'd done so while having no fun. There is no way on earth this can be displaced from the bottom of the list.
Unsure? Ok: it's the film in which Bond drives an invisible car, manages to outrun THE SUN'S RAYS (illustrated with CGI that will make your eyes bleed), it almost caused a diplomatic incident by annoying both North and South Korea , it was dubbed "Buy Another Day" due to the ludicrous amount of product placement, it had Madonna giving an award-winningly bad performance, it somehow managed to make bad actresses of both Halle Berry and Rosamund Pike, it had a face-swap plot twist…
Good sword fight though.
Via en.wikipedia.org
Quantum Of Solace (2008).
There are a lot of problems with this film. For a start, the plot revolves around a villain who's attempting to take a majority stake in Bolivia's water supply. When this dastardly plan is revealed, you wonder if Bond shouldn't just refer him to the Latin American Mergers Commission and go home.
Basically, this is a film that isn't as clever as it wants to be. So we get lots of arty stuff:
Clever. Because oil's now more precious than gold. Except it isn't. Likewise, the fight scenes were apparently "based around the elements," for some reason.
It's almost like Marc Forster (the guy who previously best known for directing, um, Monster's Ball) wasn't a good choice for the project: there's room for creativity in Bond, but not when the editing on the action scenes is so bad it looks someone's trying to remake Bourne having drunk a bottle of vodka, the characters are tedious and the pacing's utterly abysmal.
The whole thing wasn't helped by the fact the draft script was delivered two hours before the Hollywood writers' strike began, and then they couldn't do any rewrites with, you know, actual writers. Believe it or not, parts of it were rewritten by the director and Daniel Craig.

Licence to Kill (1989).
And it's a similar complaint here: above all, License to Kill just doesn't feel right. History shows that Bond films come a cropper when they try to ape the prevailing culture of the age, and this film accordingly tanked at the box office.
Dalton's Bond is a witless hardman, the villainy revolves around coke smuggling of all things, and the whole thing's got that 80s VHS violence vibe, with people getting graphically squished in decompression chambers and shredders.
In short, it's an ok installment of Lethal Weapon. Some critics have argued that this makes it closer to Fleming's novels than many other films, but by the time this came out we knew what a good Bond film looked like, and this wasn't it. You can have some fun spotting Benicio Del Toro as a henchman though. And of course it's got one hell of a theme tune.

Struggling Little League Hockey Player Gets Some Help From A Friendly Ref
Philip.paulssonHahah nice. Love that he just straight picks him up!
Failing has never looked so cute.
During a recent Montreal Canadiens game, the Timbits -- a young hockey league in Canada funded by Tim Horton's for children four to eight years old -- carried on the tradition of playing a quick game at intermission. Unfortunately, as the players were rushing out on to the ice, the goalie had a little trouble finding his footing.
Thankfully, there was a photographer skating behind everyone, who was able to lend a helping hand.
But as soon as he let go, the poor kid fell down again.
Realizing the goalie gear was too much for the little guy, the referee skated over, picked the kid up and carried him over to the goal so he could fulfill his role as protector of the net.

Monday was unfortunate. I had a minor setback. We all experience these difficult bumps in life. This is completely a private matter. There are some counselors who claim that my personal life is somehow impacting their work. Folks, that is absolute nonsense.

25 Mouthwatering Facts About Fish And Chips
Philip.paulssonMmmmm, now I want fish&chips.
Prepare to crave some fish and chips….now.
Fish and chips were first served together as a dish around 1860 - although their origin is contested.
In London, the Malin family claims to be first, as do the Lee family in Manchester.

Fish and chips were served in newspaper until the 1980s.
Serving fish and chips in newspaper kept prices low, but in the 1980s it was ruled unsafe for food to be touching newspaper ink. Now fish and chips are wrapped in a layer of greaseproof paper, and then a layer of newspaper if wished.
