This is what's been bugging me the past two days

Was just reminded why there's something about work that I needed to attend today but can't remember all week.

Apple has a game competition this weekend.

This past two days I've been so absentminded. I've called someone with the wrong name, I left one place to go to another thinking there's an event in that other place when in fact the event was right next door to the first place so I had to trek back, I forgot I have two phones, I misplaced several items, and so on.

Detik, you've done it again

I'm now questioning the wisdom of Yahoo! for cutting a deal with Detik to provide them with news feed for the Indonesian market after Detik fed them this crap.

http://id.news.yahoo.com/dtik/20090314/twl-tengkorak-vampir-wanita-ditemukan-di-601e3a9.html

The title is: Tengkorak Vampir Wanita Ditemukan di Italia

or in English: Female Vampire Skull Found in Italy

Detik never bothered to mention that the whole vampire thing was a misunderstanding by the people of that time due to lack of knowledge. Not a single line mentioned this fact.

That is a skull of a woman who was thought to have been a vampire because when they dug her grave to make way for more victims of the plague, her body had not fully decomposed yet and it looked like she ate through her shroud. The miseducated masses thought she was a vampire feeding on the corpses around her.

Sensationalist journalism can kiss my ass.

Here's a proper article on that subject from Livescience
