It is impossible to know how much oil is spilled in the Niger delta each year because the companies [Shell, most notably] and the government keep that secret. However, two major independent investigations over the past four years suggest that as much is spilled at sea, in the swamps and on land every year as has been lost in the Gulf of Mexico so far.

A fine example of hacking people:

Last week in Mumbai someone kindly explained to me the custom of putting wall tiles of gods from different religions along street facades. They’re positioned at pissing height – and act as a perfect deterrent in a reverent nation.

I was playing Lego Star Wars with my 8 yr old daughter. She kept killing me and I told her we were on the same side. She replied “I work alone,” and proceeded to kill me again. IMMD

Thanks to Andrea for bringing this site to my attention.

Memo to Me can automatically send you email reminders at specified times. It’s a terrific way to establish good habits and routines for yourself, or to just remind you of appointments. I’m scatterbrained and email-attentive, so having my mail client boss me around is a great way to actually get things done.
