I should pay more tax, says US billionaire Warren Buffett

This man is my hero.



The United States' second-richest man has delivered a blunt message to the Bush administration: he wants to pay more tax.

Warren Buffett, the famous investor known as the 'Sage of Omaha', has complained that he pays a lower rate of tax than any of his staff - including his receptionist. Mr Buffett, who is worth an estimated $52bn (£25bn), said: 'The taxation system has tilted towards the rich and away from the middle class in the last 10 years. It's dramatic; I don't think it's appreciated and I think it should be addressed.'

Head Like A Hole?

Man With A Nine Inch Knife In His Head, Survives



A NINE-INCH knife juts out of a US soldier’s brain in an X-ray taken after he was stabbed in Iraq.

Sergeant Dan Powers was probing the cause of an explosion when a teenager ran up and plunged the blade into his head.

Sgt Powers, 39, said of the July attack in Baghdad: “I felt a bump but didn’t know I had a knife in my head as the brain has no pain-sensory nerves.”

Sgt Powers, who serves with the 118th Military Police Company, has since made a near-full recovery.

His teenage attacker was arrested."

The 10 Most Terrifyingly Inspirational '80s Songs

#10 - "The Final Countdown" by Europe



The synthesizer riff in this 1986 track is as fist-pumping as music gets without involving an actual instrument. We're not clear on what he's counting down to, but somebody's about to get their ass kicked. If we were wrestlers and it was 1986 again, we'd totally have this as our intro music.

The Only Way It Could Be Better:
The song takes a sharp decline after the chorus, when it slips from the vaguely threatening line "It's the final countdown!" into sci-fi-gibberish wails like "we're heading for Venus, and still we'll stand tall!"



"The Final Countdown" needs some serious trimming. If a remix were to come out that consists only of that synthesizer riff and the cry of "It's the final countdown!," it would doubtlessly rank higher on this list. But, hey, it's European. Just be grateful it's not about scat fetishes and exceedingly thin cigarettes.

Also, let's face it. That distinctly '80s synthesizer sound didn't exactly age well. Those too young to remember the Cold War, in fact, tend to laugh upon hearing it.

Best Things to Do While Listening:
Any activity which may seem like a good idea initially, but soon becomes completely ridiculous. May we suggest Ultimate Frisbee, riding a pocket bike or watching the second season of Lost.

Tax Dollars At Work

Desire and deception, lust and fetish, pleasure and pain - it's all happening beneath the waves, according to a new book about sex in the marine world.

"It's just mind blowing what these creatures get up to," says Victorian aquatic scientist Sheree Marris, author of KamaSEAtra: Secrets of Sex in the Sea.

Raunch and randiness are rampant among sea creatures, Marris says.

"There's jealousy, there are creatures who cheat on their partners, they do the same sort of things as us in terms of courting - they spray scented perfumes, they do amazing dances, they dress up and change colours.

"As humans we think we're such sexual beasts but compared to sea creatures we're just so boring."

Zombie Sex Guide

If your necrophilia or poor judgment tempts you to get intimate with a zombie…don’t! It will not end well. Zombies come on strong and won’t take no for an answer, but they only want you for your juicy flesh and your brains. Not your intelligence – your BRAINS. On the other hand, if you are dumb enough or hard up enough to have sex with a zombie, maybe it’s just as well that you get taken out of the gene pool.
