Happy Birthday, Dear Rembrants,
Happy Birthday to you, tatata!

(I believe the cake was delicous. Rembrants's masterpiece used to be its topping)

Thought of a day: when it comes to animals ..

I feel calm when I see pictures or news about fire anywhere. To be honest, I don't care.

But when it comes to animals ...

Incinerated Turtle - Fire in Stamata, Athens.

Pitiful. Scary. Sad.

London Under Water

When I saw this I though: WOW! Then I read the story and once again I thought: WOW!

(I copied a picture from this page on NoComment News)

Well, the story is as follows:

Whilst this picture may be from the imagination of Richard Doyle, after the events of previous weeks throughout England it may not be that far from reality. With this year having been the wettest Summer on record more than 387mm (15.2in) of rain fell in England and Wales. This compounds research from Newcastle University last year which suggested that rain intensity has doubled in the UK over the last 40 years due to climate change.The image depicts iconic central London landmarks such as the Houses of Parliment and the London Eye essentially in the Thames. The image is from the aptly named film "Flood" which will be released in August.

(I want to thank How To Save Energy Blog reported to be the source of the story).

Now I'm seriously thinking of the first things to do if there's water in your house. Any ideas, dear readers?

Floods in the UK - citizen pictures of latest news

I personally believe that mass media make scandal of any happening they cover. This is what happened to Floods in the UK. Well, yes, it looked wet. And flooding was in the houses. But people are still content with their lives and water has gone. Aren't they?

(NoComment News issued a special report of Floods in UK: it's worth seeing. )

PS if you think it lacks accuracy, you've been there and everything was much worse ... Why wouldn't you show these floods through your eyes? Submit photos to NoComment News.

Tour de France - Christian Moreni

In case you follow Tour de France, here are the pictures of how gendarmes arrested Itallian Christian Moreni. Moreni tested positive for testosterone after stage 11 of the Tour last Thursday. Ironically, he was among the racers who protested today by delaying the start of Stage 16.

7 reasons to watch Live Earth Saturday


Live Earth
Originally uploaded by Mr Miyagi
Live Earth is a series of concerts around all over the world, and its original organizers are Steve Well and Al Gore (!). The picture on the right is from Singapore, and more are coming from Australia, USA, Brazil, Canada (eight cities on seven continents in total) to NoComment News!

Do you live in the city where Live Earth is on today? Experts provide some reasons to watch it:

1. Madonna. She went all out for Live 8. Here, she might debut material from her Justin Timberlake-produced CD.

2. The Police. If you couldn't afford the hyper-slashed scalper prices for Tuesday's Xcel Center show, this one's free.

3. Also reunited: Smashing Pumpkins (sort of), Genesis, Crowded House and Spinal Tap, plus Metallica and Dave Matthews come off breaks.

4. They remembered the hip-hop: Akon, Live 8 show-stealer Kanye West, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, Pharrell, Beastie Boys and Black Eyed Peas.

5. It's truly a world affair: International artists include Angélique Kidjo, the Soweto Gospel Choir, Evonne Hsu, Baaba Maal and Ai Otsuka.

6. No Bono? Maybe.

7. Will he or ... ah, who cares?: If Gore doesn't finally announce, Flea or Snoop should.

World Naked Bike Protest - Brussels

In the meantime, Brussels had the World Naked Bike Ride.

'World Naked Bike Ride - Brussels 0n 30 July 2007. Activists took part in an unofficial demonstration to protest at Brussels' dependence on motor transport and to advocate green lifestyles and the benefits of naturism'.

Guess, how many news sources covered this issue!

The right answer is ONE!! NoComment News only - and no CNN, BBC, Google News Reader or whatever. NOTHING.

But isn't it important, isn't it what's also happening around the world? Does the world include terror and iphones only??

Scary things are happening - London bombs a memo

Park Lane London - top security alert (a picture was uploaded to NoComment News two days ago).

In the meantime official mass media states "A FAILED plot to detonate two car bombs in central London appears to have been inspired by al-Qaeda and intended as a message to the British Government led by Gordon Brown, terrorism analysts believe.

Police defused two bombs left in cars that were found in London's entertainment district late on Friday and yesterday, two days after Mr Brown succeeded Tony Blair as Prime Minister"


Hmmm...What do you think?
