QUIZ: What's Your Sixth Sense?

This test is wickedly cool—they have you guess stuff like "what's the picture behind this card?" and "at the end of the test, a number will randomly generate: which number is it?"  Sort of reminded me of that scene in Ghostbusters with Bill Murray, and how he'd zap the guy who really had it going, tehee!  I always know who's calling when the phone rings, my dreams often come true, and if I think about someone intently, they will usually contact me in a matter of hours. My sister and I almost have telepathic email that way. Weird enough for you? Well, I wasn't surprised when they told me this:

Only in Finland: Klingon for Parliament

Finnish MP seeks votes in Klingon
HELSINKI (Reuters) - A Finnish member of parliament is aiming for re-election by campaigning with a translation of his Web site into Klingon, used in the TV series Star Trek.

"Some have thought it is blasphemy to mix politics and Klingon," said Jyrki Kasvi, an ardent Trekkie. "Others say it is good if politicians can laugh at themselves."

He said his politics posed some translation difficulties, since Klingon does not have words for matters such as tolerance, or for many colours, including green -- the party under whose banner he is running in the national elections on March 18.

Non-warriors can also access the site, www.kasvi.org, in English, Swedish and Finnish.
 

Stake Through the Heart : Milosevic Will Not Retun

In the news: Associated Press (AP) reports that a Serbian man has run a wooden stake through the grave of Serbian former President and War Criminal Slobodan Milosevic, in an attempt to run a stake through his heart. As you see, vampire beliefs still run strong in Serbia. The Socialist party is screaming for revenge. My feeling on this is A) no harm done and B) better safe than sorry....
 

Everything's Coming Up Monkeys

The weirdest thing. In the past few weeks, everywhere I turn, I run into monkeys. No, not real live ones, but the universe is sending me a constant sign, and I don't really know what it's trying to tell me. Here's a recap of the events so far:

1. I discovered a new coffee, which is absolutely divine, and environmentally friendly to boot. It's called "Brown Gold" - the Colombian, which I drink, has a woodcut of a monkey on the front. I began to call it "my gold monkey coffee" to anyone who would listen.
2. I bought a bottle of white wine from New Zealand, which turned out to be delicious; I only noticed later it was called "Monkey Bay" and has a picture of (you guessed it!) a monkey on the front.
3. My favorite jammies are purple with monkeys on them.
4. Katja posted a song on her blog, which she wanted me to listen to. It was by a band called "Arctic Monkeys."
5. While I was wondering about all this monkey business to Katja while we were chatting on Skype, she said: "Hey, go to this Japanese name generator I just found." I did, and wouldn't you know, it made my name mean "A monkey on a crossing bridge, fine in Autumn." (See previous post) I was stunned, and the Finn that I am, could only utter a powerful Finnish curseword (aka voimasana, "Word of Power"), "Perkele" — when I told her what I got, we both got freaked out. To make matters worse, this site she had found was also called Rum & Monkey.

Needless to say, Katja set me to task to figure out what all this means. I don't know if I'll be able to, but if anything should happen to me, look for a monkey as a prime suspect.

Monkey research to follow in another post presently.
