Ho-Ho-Holdem' up and give me all your money!?

No verdadeiro espirito natalicio, o pai natal este ano decidiu que um banco em Nashville devia dar em vez de receber! Tenho a certeza que se portaram mal este ano, portanto ha de haver alguma ponta de justiça karmica no processo.

Samurai Underwear!

Tive que fazer um post extra para mostrar a todos esta espectacular inovacao!


lol, gandas japoneses!

Kyoto v2.0

Queria começar com um lol. Terminar com outro lol. e no meio meter a transcricao do que o prémio nobel da paz (oops lol again) disse em Copenhaga.
Eu sei que os americanos são burros - nao querendo generalizar - e genuinamente não acreditam no aquecimento global (como já li mtas vezes no facebook eles acham que é um processo natural).....
mas acho que o Obama fez nos ultimos dias prejudicou mais o mundo só com a poluição da Air Force One durante a viagem até Copenhaga do que ajudou com o acordo alcançado...

Ora bem, eu vou colocar a transcricao do discurso do Obama, mas como 90% das pessoas que leem o meu blog (ou seja prai 2 pessoas) sao demasiado preguiçosas para ler o texto, eu decidi colocar um resumo do youtube para que possam ver o que ele disse.




"Today we've made meaningful and unprecedented -- made a meaningful and unprecedented breakthrough here in Copenhagen.  For the first time in history all major economies have come together to accept their responsibility to take action to confront the threat of climate change.

     Let me first recount what our approach was throughout the year and coming into this conference.  To begin with, we've reaffirmed America's commitment to transform our energy economy at home.  We've made historic investments in renewable energy that have already put people back to work.  We've raised our fuel efficiency standards.  And we have renewed American leadership in international climate negotiations.
     Most importantly, we remain committed to comprehensive legislation that will create millions of new American jobs, power new industry, and enhance our national security by reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
     That effort at home serves as a foundation for our leadership around the world.  Because of the actions we're taking we came here to Copenhagen with an ambitious target to reduce our emissions.  We agreed to join an international effort to provide financing to help developing countries, particularly the poorest and most vulnerable, adapt to climate change.  And we reaffirmed the necessity of listing our national actions and commitments in a transparent way.
     These three components -- transparency, mitigation and finance -- form the basis of the common approach that the United States and our partners embraced here in Copenhagen.  Throughout the day we worked with many countries to establish a new consensus around these three points, a consensus that will serve as a foundation for global action to confront the threat of climate change for years to come.
This success would have not been possible without the hard work of many countries and many leaders -- and I have to add that because of weather constraints in Washington I am leaving before the final vote, but we feel confident that we are moving in the direction of a significant accord [see Text of Copenhagen Accord].
In addition to our close allies who did so much to advance this effort, I worked throughout the day with Prime Minister Meles of Ethiopia, who was representing Africa, as well as Premier Wen of China, Prime Minister Singh of India, President Lula of Brazil, and President Zuma of South Africa, to achieve what I believe will be an important milestone.
Earlier this evening I had a meeting with the last four leaders I mentioned -- from China, India, Brazil, and South Africa.  And that's where we agreed to list our national actions and commitments, to provide information on the implementation of these actions through national communications, with international consultations and analysis under clearly defined guidelines.  We agreed to set a mitigation target to limit warming to no more than 2 degrees Celsius, and importantly, to take action to meet this objective consistent with science.
Taken together these actions will help us begin to meet our responsibilities to leave our children and our grandchildren a cleaner and safer planet.
Now, this progress did not come easily, and we know that this progress alone is not enough.  Going forward, we're going to have to build on the momentum that we've established here in Copenhagen to ensure that international action to significantly reduce emissions is sustained and sufficient over time.  We've come a long way, but we have much further to go.
To continue moving forward we must draw on the effort that allowed us to succeed here today -- engagement among nations that represent a baseline of mutual interest and mutual respect.  Climate change threatens us all; therefore, we must bridge old divides and build new partnerships to meet this great challenge of our time.  That's what we've begun to do here today.
For energy holds out not just the perils of a warming climate, but also the promise of a more peaceful and prosperous tomorrow.  If America leads in developing clean energy, we will lead in growing our economy, in putting our people back to work, and in leaving a stronger and more secure country to our children.
And around the world, energy is an issue that demands our leadership.  The time has come for us to get off the sidelines and to shape the future that we seek.  That's why I came to Copenhagen today, and that's why I'm committed to working in common effort with countries from around the globe.  That's also why I believe what we have achieved in Copenhagen will not be the end but rather the beginning, the beginning of a new era of international action."

Hoje é domingo estou a ressacar de ontem à noite, vou gastar 30tix no ptq online de Zendikar sealed. Estes tótós vão fazer um ptq em londres dia 2 Jan :P e eu só volto de Portugal dia 3 portanto já não vou apanhar mais ptqs ingleses (o outro é na escocia..)

Amanhã tou de folga vou a Londres comprar roupa que a que eu tenho é claramente insuficiente para o tempo que se faz sentir aqui.

Se o ptq correr bem (pro provável) ou for interessante meto um report.
A boa noticia é que o meu formato favorito vem ai (1.x) e já ando a brincar com tezzerator no online.
Keria mesmo era dar umas voltas com o Dark Depths mas o preço da carta é ridiculo portanto vou aguardar p ver se desce :P
