Cher = Xerxes

Oh, and speaking of glamazons:

Only the first 45 seconds are worth watching, FYI.

Observations

I've got two exams this week, one next week. The studying is killing me. Trying to be a good student is much harder that I ever thought it would be.

I like when people wear the same clothes every day. It makes life seem more like a cartoon, and I like those.

I'm going to bed before midnight tonight, which is a first in like, forever.

Darfur

You can look on Google earth and see the actual damage of the Darfur crisis. There are tons of cities that look just like this one. It makes me sad.

April Fools (30 mins late)




LONDON — The headline on the press release sounded tantalizing: "Kia unveils groundbreaking self-build CAR with 'Concept i.'" But the accompanying photo just shows a pile of boxes.

It's all an elaborate April Fool's Day prank, which becomes apparent with the last line of the release: "An on-sale date and pricing is yet to be announced by the Korean company, but it currently has no i Kia."

If it did, the DIY car would be equipped with "a selection of existing powertrains from the recently launched cee'd, including the popular 1.6-liter turbodiesel." Transmission options range from a four-speed automatic to a six-speed manual.

Kia explained that the inspiration for the car is taken from "flat-pack furniture" that the customer builds at home. Only an Allen wrench is needed to put together the vehicle — and that's included in the kit.

But there is a catch. The warranty "will vary according to the skill level of the customer." "A simple questionnaire can reveal how adept they are at building the car," according to a Kia statement. "A high score will get a seven-year warranty, a low score about a couple of weeks."

What this means to you: The Kia Concept i is worth nothing more than a chuckle.
