Imagine it äs digital Lego playing.
You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."

I just started playing Minecraft with my 8 year old son, and it's kind of addicting building stuff. At least I have a reason to use the new tablet I just bought, instead of turning it into an electronic paper weight, like my other ones.

I guess I get the Lego reference, and I can see how that could be addictive. Thank you. I feel less old.
Now the notion of building the UK in Lego/Minecraft seems even more neat for some reason.

Give it a decent go. I tried it for 5 mins, thought that it was mindless and gave up.I tried it again a few weeks later in survival mode - and was addicted for the next few months, just the idea of building something up I suppose.
The map of Britain isn't up to much: the scale is wrong so 1 block (supposedly 1 cubic meter in game) seems to be roughly 100m x 100m on the horizontal plane real world, but the vertical scaling is nowhere near that. Go to the lake district and it look more like the Alps. That said, the thing was done by someone on placement with the OS, so a pretty cool project nonetheless.

One of the best Hockey and sport photographer (of his era) died today.
He was the official Montréal Canadien Hockey team photographer.
He is the father of one of the best Hockey goalkeeper, Martin Brodeur.
I'd rather be phishing!

And, while they're in there, add a toggle to let it just go ahead and ignore the damn thing and truncate the data. At a minimum, that'll show us where the prob
