Which Creation band are you?
One of the least detailed quizzes, producing one of the least satisfactory answers. (I've never listened to Slowdive, so maybe it's apt after all).
You Are... Slowdive. You are very comfortable with the person that you
are. You are pretty traditional in a classical
sort of way. You relate most to things of a
darker, more mysterious nature. You tend to be
quiet and shy but you still manage to make
friends pretty easilly. Though your ambition is
bigger than your talents, your perseverance
will always lead you to bigger and greater
things.

Word of the day
fungible
adj : of goods or commodities; freely exchangeable for or replaceable by another of like nature or kind in the satisfaction of an obligation n : a commodity that is freely interchangeable with another in satisfying an obligation
I saw it twice in one day thanks to Anna's TV recommendations I heard it used in Boston Legal (which I quite liked, but enjoyed James Spader on the Practice more), and to George's Eclectika posting about modelling economics using monkey experiments. I think the last time I ran into it was high school economics, or something...

Ind[ones]ian Givers
How stupid are people? Just because a court in one of the more integrated Indonesian provinces, rightly or wrongly, convicts an Australian of a drug offence, a number of people have decided to ask for their donations to help a bunch of people in one of the less well integrated Indonesian provinces back. "How dare they do that our Schappelle - better punish them".
An example story.
I think you'll find that a large number of the now homeless Acehnese aren't that keen on the Indonesian justice system either you fools. (Or is it just a media beatup?)
