Lindsay Lohan in sex tape?

Lindsay Lohan has made it onto the small screen, the small screen allegedly being that of a naked Calum Best’s mobile phone.

Reports claim that footage has been ‘circling the internet’ which
shows someone who resembles Lohan performing oral sex on a man that is
allegedly George Best’s lothario son, Calum.

One website claims that Ms. Lohan is now ‘freaking out because she can’t remember it being filmed.’

I’d just like to say that I find this disgusting and horrible… if anybody has the clip please, let me know.. i’d like it for.. uh.. archive purposes…

This is why I dont goto Newfoundland in the winter.

A Marine Atlantic passenger ferry finally broke free of pack ice off
Cape Breton on Thursday, after a Canadian coast guard icebreaker helped
clear the way. It had been trapped in the ice since Tuesday, prompting at least one serious anxiety attack that resulted in a really dramatic air rescue.

Ice ice baby

I didn’t know until this morning that icebergs could be striped. However, apparently that’s just one of many variations. Here’s where to find some and learn more.

Handmade mechanical dragonfly

Etsy seller JesseDanger’s $15,000 “Anax Imperator Machina” is a
hand-made, precision clockwork dragonfly whose wings flap — made from
gold and silver.

Dragonfly

Modeled after the largest modern species of dragonfly, this is a
functioning creation whose wings flutter up and down when the very tip
of the tail (really the abdomen, but tail sounds cooler) is turned. The
inspiration for this complex mechanical insect originated from many of
the fantasized gadgets of Leonardo da Vinci and other mechanical
creations once thought futuristic in times long before our own.
Inspired by these designs I set out to recreate nature using classical
engineering and an elegant form. My intentions are to develop and
continue making more of these mechanical insects.

The internal mechanisms, gears and moving parts were painstakingly
hand-milled and hand-calibrated with absolute precision from 14k gold.
The body, mechanical frame and wings were handcrafted from Argentium
Silver, far superior to Sterling or fine silver. The body opens up to
reveal the intricate inner movements, and fine details that just could
not be left forever covered up! The eyes are each large 10 carat Swiss
Blue Topaz cabochons and the 14k gold bezel on the tail contains a 4mm
Amethyst bullet shaped cabochon.

Elfquest! heh.

Isles of Scilly

Castles, shipwrecks, smuggling and mystical lands buried deep beneath the sea. Scilly’s history is crammed full of amazing facts, folklore and fantasy.  

So, where does the name ‘Scilly’ come from? It is thought although uncertain, that the Vikings called the islands ‘Syllorgar’ and the Romans ‘Sully’ (meaning the sun islands). The ‘c’ was added to the name some time in the 16th Century.

My family’s hometown of Winterton was orginally called “Scilly Cove” named after the islands, I think I’d like to visit there sometime.
