Volkswagen Terrorist Commercial - Car videos, hot cars, race cars: Mar 29, 6:23am 5 reviews
http://www.your-website-sux.com/Volkswagen-Terrorist-Commercial__HnL-7x4n4d8....; Seemingly a Volkswagen advertisement about a suicide bomber. In exceptionally poor taste and inevitably leads to idiotic comments like those of robclor2005. Fortunately, this ad doesn't seem to have been sanctioned by Volkswagen: read the comment in The Guardian.

Why Do Universities Charge You Over $100K During Your Course Of Studies, Yet Mak…: Mar 23, 10:00am 18 reviews
http://madconomist.com/why-do-universities-charge-you-over-100k-during-your-c...; Why do I keep coming upon so many articles trashing the idea of university education? Perhaps if you go to a crappy university and undertake a degree in some bullshit subject then it might not be worth your money, perhaps. But from my own experience at some of the better universities in Britain, I can unequivocally state that neither myself nor my colleagues could have gotten where we are today without having had a first-rate education. OK, so I studied a science subject (mathematics), and the author seems to be happy with the sciences, but I really do believe that a good education in one of the traditional humanities (including History, Classics, English, Philosophy, etc.) does help one think more clearly. Which can't be a bad thing.

How to Cook Medieval - Foods To Never Use: Mar 22, 3:32pm 2 reviews cooking
http://www.godecookery.com/how2cook/howto04.htm; Great page. Some common ingredients that wouldn't have been found at a medieval English table. I knew about most of the items, but was none the less surprised that green beans, broccoli, and rhubarb are of more modern vintage.
