Bye bye North Pole :-(
This is not something about the future. It is not even about the near future. It is about NOW. Scientists are worried about North Pole, it is very possible that it is the last year that is cover by Ice. As they say there is a 50-50 chance that the remaining ice on North Pole will completely melt as soon as this August
These news may be bring worries to all of us, the ordinary people, but there are many dudes out there that are happy for this development. You see North Pole ice makes the area oil exploitation a difficult Business.
Enjoy your oil sirs, keep some for your children, they’ll need to drink something.
RIP North Pole

EURO 2008 Is Here
The EURO 2008 has started and 300 million people are watching closely to see who is going to win it this time. Last time in Portugal (2004), the Greeks surprised everyone as they were the underdogs of the championship and ended up crowning themselves champions. Many people back then lost a lot of money in bets as none expected Greece to win. This time the games are co-hosted by Austria and Switzerland and many of the big teams maybe title-hungry but they sure now keep an eye at the smaller teams in case there is another underdog out there with hidden talents. Another highlight of the show will be the games Greece will play (starting with Sweden 10/06) to see if they can defend the title.
Who do you think will win it this time?
