Like a bridge over trouble water, a young man, mid-twenties, pukes his self happy in the morning air, making his way to a train. A cutie passes. Yellow green sludge spats from his opening. He walks off. Returns. Repeats.

2001 Worst terrorist attacks in history kill 3000 as hijacked jumbos used as missiles against WTC and Pentagon
The smallest sovereign entity (like the Vatican) is the Sovereign Military Order of Malta in Rome, the size of 2 tennis courts, population 80.

Dunno why everyone has to go to Jerry Berry's meetings all the time, they're a waste of space.

Oh boy those consultants from Phi Gamma Blanktech are scary. Black suits. Flinty eyes. Thousand euro a day for sowing confusion. Good to see them consigned to a dank hovel under the proverbial stairs though as they pluck away at their fake code simulations.

Oh boy, they need friends. They have nobody telling them anything. I get the feeling they're here to hijack the project. Crash it into a tower. Think I better axe about who they are and what they're doing just in case it's pivotal to the Revolution. I'll go now for to do it because they don't know who I am and I may be a budget holder as far as they're concerned, so they'll answer kindly for the five minutes it takes to figure it out and then they has to take a call.

On the anniversary of the unscheduled demolition job in downtown Manhattan, the US President says, we must go on as the Martians are revolting and the Titanians are a threat to peace. If they so much as think about threatening peace, we'll bomb 'em to hell and back.

9/11. The day the earth still stood still. It's so long ago now. Haven't seen the reruns for a while. Except the ones indelibly written in my mind's eye.

World's worst website? www.bananasoft.ie, easily the worst performing website I've ever seen and the staff of 10 plus 4 managrons should be dragged out, stood against the wall, have their take-away coffee cups slapped from their lips and be made to click on it themselves.

What about a web 2.0 interface? It usually has those little timer animations and such. Makes it more user friendly. Also, it should be allowable to browse and make access as open as possible. Login top right. Cookies. Just beneath a search box. Videos. Getting behind is the way to register.

Unthinkable thoughts:
There's always been a joke among African-Americans about black folks and white folks during a disaster. My father was quick to point out a black woman who had managed to get out of the towers when she was actually on a floor above where the plane hit and she was still trying to get out of downtown when the reporter stopped her.
The fact that tons of white people just stood there near the towers looking before they fell cracked him up. It confirmed the stereotype of white folks never thinking anything is ever going to happen to them. And since black people are used to fucked-up crap happening to them all the time they were trying to get the hell out of there.
Of course I spotted a few African-Americans looking lost. My dad just said that they've been around white people too damn long. Real black folks run.

23:38 The night of Sept. 10 I had an amazing one-night stand with a hot, swarthy Middle Eastern man. I lived in Battery Park City at the time. The next morning, we gazed at my spectacular view of the World Trade Center. The last thing I said to him was, "The R train? Just walk toward those two towers." Fifteen minutes later the first plane struck. I spent the whole day thinking (among other things), He did say he was Israeli, right? I didn't just fuck a terrorist, did I? I hope he made it out!
