Once again Israel may have saved itself and the rest of the world by taking actions into it’s own hands. Israel showed it is not interested in waiting for diplomacy to work when it’s possible existence is at stake.

Israelis ‘blew apart Syrian nuclear cache’.


Andrew Semmel, a senior US State Department official, said Syria might have obtained nuclear equipment from “secret suppliers”, and added that there were a “number of foreign technicians” in the country.
Asked if they could be North Korean, he replied: “There are North Korean people there. There’s no question about that.” He said a network run by AQ Khan, the disgraced creator of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons, could be involved.

But why would nuclear material be in Syria? Known to have chemical weapons, was it seeking to bolster its arsenal with something even more deadly?

Alternatively, could it be hiding equipment for North Korea, enabling Kim Jong-il to pretend to be giving up his nuclear programme in exchange for economic aid? Or was the material bound for Iran, as some authorities in America suggest?

Besides Hugo Chavez, this is another reason not to go to Venezuela.

“Dead” man wakes up under autopsy knife.


A Venezuelan man who had been declared dead woke up in the morgue in excruciating pain after medical examiners began their autopsy.

Carlos Camejo, 33, was declared dead after a highway accident and taken to the morgue, where examiners began an autopsy only to realize something was amiss when he started bleeding. They quickly sought to stitch up the incision on his face.

“I woke up because the pain was unbearable,” Camejo said, according to a report on Friday in leading local newspaper El Universal.

His grieving wife turned up at the morgue to identify her husband’s body only to find him moved into a corridor — and alive.

Reuters could not immediately reach hospital officials to confirm the events. But Camejo showed the newspaper his facial scar and a document ordering the autopsy.

Here is some entertainment for this weekend.

I was a fan of Bruce Lee when I was growing up so, when I came across this video of his full screen test for the role of Kato on “The Green Hornet”, I thought that it would be interesting to post. You have to appreciate how amazingly fast Bruce was even in a suit. This also demonstrates that he was a good communicator and teacher. I don’t think they could have found a better Kato.
