Malkovich Signs for 'Potter IV'

Hollywood star John Malkovich has landed a starring role in the next Harry Potter movie, playing evil Lord Voldemort. The Dangerous Liaisons actor's daughters Amandine, 13 and Lowrie, 12 - huge fans of the fantasy franchise - convinced him to appear in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire. But he will have to share the part with a computerized puppet - at the beginning of the film, the wizard is supposed to be so wasted by his own evil he is barely a skeleton. A movie insider says, "He is perfect for the role. He will play the 'restored' human version of Lord Voldemort and has a spectacular fight scene with Harry at the end of the film."

But didn´t J.K. Rowling insist on the principal cast being British (with two exceptions though- Richard Harris was, of course, Irish, and Zoë Wanamaker, though she has made her name as a "British" actress, is actually a US citizen)

The Top 100 Things I'd Do
If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord


When I've captured my adversary and he says, "Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?" I'll say, "No." and shoot him. No, on second thought I'll shoot him then say "No."

One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation.

I will never utter the sentence "But before I kill you, there's just one thing I want to know."

No matter how tempted I am with the prospect of unlimited power, I will not consume any energy field bigger than my head.

All naive, busty tavern wenches in my realm will be replaced with surly, world-weary waitresses who will provide no unexpected reinforcement and/or romantic subplot for the hero or his sidekick.

Once my power is secure, I will destroy all those pesky time-travel devices.

My main computers will have their own special operating system that will be completely incompatible with standard IBM and Macintosh powerbooks.

Members of my Legion of Terror will attend seminars on Sensitivity Training. It's good public relations for them to be kind and courteous to the general population when not actively engaged in sowing chaos and destruction.

I will not, under any circumstances, marry a woman I know to be a faithless, conniving, back-stabbing witch simply because I am absolutely desperate to perpetuate my family line. Of course, we can still date.

I loved these, over two hundred more to be found at the evil overlord list ;-)

Vote now!!



Languages..

After my verb conjugator posting it was pointed out to me that in this here insane world of ours there are currently more fluent Klingon speakers than there are speakers of Icelandic. I kinda doubted the figure but then I started thinking I personally know two people here in Iceland that can speak Klingon, Halldor added one more to that list.
So say that there are only these three klingon speakers in Iceland (doubtful though) that´s three people per three hundred thousand (Icelands grand population)... take that figure and the what two-three billion people that have access to tv´s in the world.... yikes it´s probably true ...!!!

I should as Svava said be concentrating on my Klingon rather than Japanese!



Ahh regarding Japanese I want to brag a wee bit, last weekend we took a mock version of level four japanese language proficiency test at school and guess what... I passed with flying colours !!!!

My lowest score was on the grammar, only 6.8, then kanji and reading 7.6 and finally comprehension a staggering 9.5 !!
I´m extatic seeing as I didn´t even prepaire for the test at all...
If you are curious as to what exactly the JLPT is then you can find information regarding them here. Here you can try your hand at the kanji version of said exam ;-)

On-line verb conjugator

This is pretty amazing, in my opinion at least. An on-line verb conjugator which includes languages such as Icelandic (checked and works), Italian, Welsh and ..... Klingon (don´t have the knowledge to check that one sorry ;-)

Yikes some people are just plain scary !!

Not mittens but smittens...
I created the idea of Smittens while on a romantic walk with my husband. We were trying to hold hands through our bulky mittens, when it dawned on me to create a mitten that was large enough for both our hands. That way, I thought, we could truly hold hands.

Anyone care to bet on wether they have matching outfits???

For aficionados of the advance fee fraud email genre, here is a truly delicious 419 solicitation to brighten your Sunday. Just when you thought you'd heard it all, try the one about the Nigerian astronaut stuck on Soyuz:

Subject: Nigerian Astronaut Wants To Come Home
Dr. Bakare Tunde
Astronautics Project Manager
National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA)
Plot 555
Misau Street
PMB 437
Garki, Abuja, FCT NIGERIA


Dear Mr. Sir,

REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

I am Dr. Bakare Tunde, the cousin of Nigerian Astronaut, Air Force Major Abacha Tunde. He was the first African in space when he made a secret flight to the Salyut 6 space station in 1979. He was on a later Soviet spaceflight, Soyuz T-16Z to the secret Soviet military space station Salyut 8T in 1989. He was stranded there in 1990 when the Soviet Union was dissolved. His other Soviet crew members returned to earth on the Soyuz T-16Z, but his place was taken up by return cargo. There have been occasional Progrez supply flights to keep him going since that time. He is in good humor, but wants to come home.

In the 14-years since he has been on the station, he has accumulated flight pay and interest amounting to almost $ 15,000,000 American Dollars. This is held in a trust at the Lagos National Savings and Trust Association. If we can obtain access to this money, we can place a down payment with the Russian Space Authorities for a Soyuz return flight to bring him back to Earth. I am told this will cost $ 3,000,000 American Dollars. In order to access the his trust fund we need your assistance.

Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount to your account or subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/ or operating foreign accounts in our names.

Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to offer you 20 percent of the transferred sum, while 10 percent shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external) between the parties in the course of the transaction. You will be mandated to remit the balance 70 percent to other accounts in due course.

Kindly expedite action as we are behind schedule to enable us include downpayment in this financial quarter.

Please acknowledge the receipt of this message via my direct number 234 (0) 9-234-2220 only.

Yours Sincerely, Dr. Bakare Tunde
Astronautics Project Manager

I thought I had too much time on my hands but this guy...?

Takes anal-ism to new and undiscovered territories... He´s found something going on with number 23 and number 5: The ever-expanding list of the synchronous occurrence of the number Twenty-Three (23) with application to the Law of Fives (2+3=5).
Right?

One Liners

Here in Iceland we only get Jay Leno and that´s a week late... So.. Here's a site that archives the jokes from Leno, Letterman, and Killborn: Late Night Liners.

For example, here's a joke from Jay Leno last night:

Starbucks is teaming up with the makers of Jim Beam whiskey to introduce a whiskey-flavored coffee. So now just instead of being late for work, you just don't go in at all.

And this from Letterman:

It's almost spring time in the city. Today I thought I saw a robin redbreast. Instead it turned out to be a pigeon with a knife wound.

Thank you all ;-) hugs and kisses :-D

Had a nice evening last night, out to dinner then to a double feature Kill Bill extravaganza ;-P I hadn´t seen the first one so I didn´t really know what to expect (and to tell the truth was rather dubious at best) but it rocked!!

It´s such an excellent story! I discovered an new one of many discrepancies in me ;-) i.e. I don´t mind violence as long as it´s justified and being faught by people who willingly put themselves into that situation... Make any sense?

Just me..

p.s. that lunch box rocks !

Amount of TV viewed as a toddler linked to childhood ADHD

"The data from 2,500 children covered by the study found that they watched an average of 2.2 hours per day at age 1 and 3.6 hours per day at age 3. But some watched 12 hours or more. "

1-3 year olds watching TWELVE hours of TV a day? Jeez.

Our only television was a 9 inch Black and White model until I was 9. That was when when we got a 13 inch color set. In Iceland there used to be no tv on Thursdays, no tv in July and the only childrens show were the weekly kids show (an hour on Sunday), little house on tha prairy and Tom and Jerry on Mondays....
Admittedly my kids have watched a lot more tv than that but .. still 12 hours at that age.. that´s more time than mine spent awake at that age !!!!!

By the way...God apparently hates shrimp

I watch even less TV now. Internet, on the other hand... ;)

Nicholson aims to buy a castle in Iceland

He he stole this of the imdb site, anyone care to hazard a guess as to how many castles there are in Iceland ;-)

Legendary actor Jack Nicholson is investigating the possibility of buying a second castle - this time in Iceland. The Oscar-winner recently pumped an Icelandic journalist for details on the island, including how cold it is and if there were any castles for sale. Nicholson has a strange new mission to buy castles all over the world, and recently purchased one in Britain. But the 66-year-old was disappointed to learn, "The Vikings didn't build any castles."

A weird policy about to be presented here in Iceland.. anti immigartion thing.. me not likin....... :-( ... Involves the right for house search without warranty and forced dnd testing the price of which would have to be paid by the sufferer of the indignity ....

Anti Bill gates jokes site !!

Bill Gates died and found himself in purgatory being sized up by St. Peter. "Well, Bill, I'm really confused on this call. I'm not sure whether to send you to Heaven or Hell. After all, you helped society enormously by putting a computer in almost every home in America, yet you also created that ghastly Windows 95. I'm going to do something I've never done before in your case: I'm going to let you decide where you want to go."

Bill replied, "What's the difference between the two?"

St. Peter said, "I'm willing to let you visit both places briefly, if it will help your decision."

"Fine, but where should I go first?"

"I'll leave that up to you."

"Okay then," said Bill. "Let's try Hell first."

So Bill went to Hell. It was a beautiful and clean. Bill saw a sandy beach with clear waters and lots of bikini-clad women running around, playing in the water, laughing and frolicking about. The sun was shining, the temperature perfect. He was very pleased.

"This is great!" he told St. Peter. "If this is Hell, I really want to see Heaven!"

"Fine," said St. Peter, and off they went.

Heaven was a place high in the clouds, with angels drifting about, playing harps and singing. It was very nice, but not as enticing as Hell.

Bill thought for a quick minute, and rendered his decision. "Hmmm. I think I'd prefer Hell," he told St. Peter.

"Fine," retorted St. Peter, "as you desire." So Bill Gates went to Hell.

Two weeks later, St. Peter decided to check on the late billionaire to see how he was doing in Hell. When he got there, he found Bill shackled to a wall in a dark cave, screaming amongst hot flames,
being burned and tortured by demons.

"How's everything going?" he asked Bill.

With his voice filled with anguish and disappointment, Bill responded, "This is awful! This is nothing like the Hell I visited
two weeks ago! I can't believe this is happening! What happened to that other place, with the beautiful beaches and the scantily clad women playing in the water?"

"That was a demo," replied St. Peter.

And the geordie version of windows is an absolute must ;-)

The Reliable Bunny
By Dean Koontz
(Didn't you guys know Dean Koontz writes children's poetry?!)

Pity the Easter bunny
For his job isn't funny.
Carrying a billion eggs
Is so tiring on the legs.
Also a billion baskets!
He blows out all his gaskets
With all the heavy lifting
And so much Easter gifting.
All that chocolate candy
Is really too darn handy.
He nibbles here, nibbles there,
He's a nib-nib-nibbling hare.
Chocolate ducks and chickens -
How fast his waistline thickens!
Easter Eve - he wasn't big.
Now - big as a moose is big!
Bigger than a bear is big!
Bigger, bigger, really BIG!

Monday morning, he must diet,
Eating food that isn't quiet:
Crunchy lettuce, carrots, too.
Now he's feeling really blue.
Chocolate tasted so much better.
But he can't fit in his sweater.
No chocolate now - only clover,
Well, if he can still bend over
To eat the clover so sweet.
He can't even see his feet.
However, in another year,
When Easter again draws near,
He'll once more be slim and swift,
Missing not a single gift.
He can't be slowed by rain or snow.
The bunny simply is a pro.
