This is why i hate ... nevermind

Ok, i was reading the Post yesterday, and read the article about how some danish cartoonist depicted the prophet muhhamad with a bomb shaped turban as a political cartoon...

and now people are rioting everywhere in europe?!? im not sure about here in the states, but EVERYWHERE IN EUROPE. muslims are chanting out Osama bin Laden's name, Yelling "Europe your 9/11 will come", calling for revenge on every government just because of one cartoonist from Denmark...


umm... can we say over-reacting?

they are burning goods in the street, rioting, picketing, throwing things at the foreign embassy's. What the hell. calm down already.


funny thing is, the police forces are doing absolutely nothing to stop them, no tear gas, no riot control squad NOTHING!!!, WHY NOT!

(personally, i would just open fire into the crowd once they started hurling objects at government buildings... but thats just my opinion).


You didn't see christians burning things or rioting when someone depicted the Blessed Mother Smeared with animal feces. we expressed concern, but did nothing violent, we didnt even call for the exhibit to be closed.

but here these crazy radical muslims causing complete anarchy in europe over a small cartoon, threatening to kill the heads of papers who reprint it, calling for osama bin laden to give retribution for it, having newspaper heads fired. jesus christ CALM DOWN...


Worst part about it is, the United States in interfearing... BUT ON THE SIDE OF THE MUSLIMS?!?!?!?!? WTF
Funny how a nation founded on free speech, and freedom of the press can go and side with a radical religious group...


I usually side with bush, and i am with my government and my country for anything they decide to do, and anything they say. but i have to be liberal about this and say what the hell...

Fred Andreas is my Hero

I must say now... Fred Andreas is my hero.

We are in I&A today, and it must have been national porto bashing day... (wait... when isnt it national porto bashing day, rofl) but seriously, the heat was turned up today, even Mr. Andreas was getting in on it. We had to put in a board into the computers to register logic data for one of the labs we are doing, (dont ask). and He is just standing there watching porto, as am I, but he was like taunting him and really giving it to him. "okay go. by the way we are timing you. no pressure", porto couldnt get it right at first, gets yelled at... lol. puts the side of the case face down, gets yelled at. unscrews the screw with both hands. "Brendan, you only need to use one hand", porto tries to turn the case on its back for better leverage, Mr. Andreas: "Brendan, we are men here, we do it standing up" (at that point i had to leave the conversation for a few moments.

I mean, he was explaining to him how to install a board, how to handle it, Brendan knows what he is doing, but still, it was just funny to watch him try to interject and get shot down.

He finally finishes out, after being shown step by step what to do. (which honestly he didnt need, but it was too funny). Andreas goes. Letsee... "12 minutes... wow, we have a record... longest time taken."


then its my turn to install the board to my station. porto throws me the anti static band, and is like, you're all talk, lets see you do it. so I polietly go up to Mr. Andreas and ask for a board to install. he comes back and gives me one. begins to explain to me how to do it, and then goes "nevermind, you can do it". to which porto replies... "wait... WHAT! You are trusting R.J. ARE YOU KIDDING!" and starts tirading about random things, it was rather amusing, but at the same time annoying because im trying to work, and he was in my space.
so I unscrew my case, while being battered by porto, install the board, and finish, relativly quickly, even considering I had to wait for my instructor to finish helping other students before I even recieved one of the parts.


So yeah... R.J. 10 - Porto 0
lol... it was funny as hell, especially when porto gets yelled at for trying to stab me with a screwdriver while im working on my computer, Lol. and a few minutes later, Mr. Andreas yells at me because he saw me walking, holding a screwdriver down, with my usual look on my face, ready to kill someone, and he tells me to stop, thinking i was gunning for porto. Meanwhile im just putting the screwdriver away, and porto is in the other room, Upon realizing that he just laughed it off.


He really is a great guy, funny, intelligent, rags on porto all day, dry sense of humor, and he's a geek.

I am convinced that all chain mail is written by 4 year olds.

So I was on myspace earlier, and my friend Marcus posted a bulletin entitled "why sex hurts for girls". Naturally I saw this and just had to look. after reading the whole bulletin. (as shown below) I just couldn't help but laugh. Not even because of the shear stupidity of the whole idea, but of the horrible use of propper english.

------------------------

Okay, so on the news yesterday there was a girl who submitted a tape and it was a phone conversation between the girl and her boyfriend. this is how is went

Amber: Ronny, are you gonna come over tomorrow to meet my mom, because she reaally wants to meet u.

Ronny: Of course, honey. I know how much this meens to you. When should I come over?

Amber: Maybe six...Hey ronny, what's that tapping sound?

Ronny: What? I don't here nething. It's prolly just in ur head, sweetheart.

Amber: Quit joking aroound, ronny, stop making that noise. It's getting louder.

Ronny: I don't joke, you know that. I love you too much 2 joke.

Amber: It's starting to hurt my ears I cant beleive
you dont here that! What? there's someone at the door, be right back.

Ronny: Hey, honney.

Ronny was at the door, holding a cell phone and a hatchet. He slaugtered Amber and when her parents came at six the next day he killed them too.

If u don't repost this bulletin in two hours, Amber will crawl out from under your bed in your sleep and kill you until ur dead. the last thing you will see are her wrotting eyes and the phone...still in her hand and repost this with the title why sex hurts for girls

------------------------

Ahem, if i can draw your attention to the last paragraph, in which I have highlighted a few parts... take a look


If u don't repost this bulletin in two hours, Amber will crawl out from under your bed in your sleep and kill you until ur dead. the last thing you will see are her wrotting eyes and the phone...still in her hand and repost this with the title why sex hurts for girls

Also, Look at the first statement

Okay, so on the news yesterday there was a girl who submitted a tape and it was a phone conversation between the girl and her boyfriend.

And now at the end.

He slaugtered Amber and when her parents came at six the next day he killed them too.

Okay... so the dead broad not only recorded this conversation with her boyfriend (we know guys, girls record our conversations all the time right? ¬_¬) But she also managed to drag her dead ass to the news station to give them the tape too right?

Yeah, because that makes sense... Idiots.


Oh yeah, I'm shaking in my boots here, if I don't repost this I will die! Personally, I think the only thing that was murdered because of this bulletin was the english language.

Whats in a Name???

I'm sure everyone is curious about the origins of the name deathsythe212.
Common questions I get are, You know you spelt it wrong right? is that a palendrome? gundamwing fan?


Well, Lets start out with the name itself.

Yes, Deathscythe was a gundam, in the popular tv series Gundam Wing. Deathscythe (pictured below) was piloted by the only American in the whole show, Duo Maxwell (also pictured below). The Pilot and the Gundam itself had the nickname "God of Death" as he wielded the Beam Scythe as his primary weapon, an allusion to the grim reaper. Personally, that gundam, and DeathscytheHell (an upgraded version, also pictured below) was my favorite one, and the name just stuck with me.








Deathscythe

Duo Maxwell

DeathscytheHell



Why the spelling error?

Well, when I first started posting on one of my favorite VideoGame forums, Neoseeker, The name Deathscythe had already been taken. I simply took out the "c" and kept that as my name. (Needless to say the original Deathscythe was a little annoyed, but he got over it). Since then I never really felt a need to change my username for anything, DeviantArt, MySpace, or even my Blog.


Two-Hundred Twelve?

The simplest part actually, my birthday. Feburary 12th. Written with numerals it is 2.12, Its symmetrical, and I like it.


There you have it, The origins of my username.
