Silent saturday is a new concept: This is where I recommend books to read. None of the weekdays had something better to offer that had to do with reading, that I could think of, but I am open for suggestions. You can continue reading on sunday if you like.

What a better choice to begin with then the origin of species:

Or if you don’t mind reading from your screen, you can in fact read the entire thing here, thanks to Google Books and the Harvard College Library:

Once again, profiting from the gullible shows itself to be the perfect business model.

The California Astrology Association, established in 1970, has a webstore that sells all sorts of nonsense, like amulets and other jewelry, but also more fun things like Voodoo dolls. Especially disturbing is the money wanga but at least Voodoo is a religion that embraces their inevitable materialistic desires, rather then the usual shame, denial, threats, jealousy and whatnot that some other religions seem to apply to compensate for their uncertainty.

The revolting part from this webstore though, is that you can pay them to cast spells on your behalf, which is essentially paying for nothing. I mean, it’s not like anyone really believes that they will actually cast a spell, do they? Don’t tell me, cause for once, i would like to be in denial.

The testimonials are especially horrific, here are some from this particular spell:

He will begin his new job on the 15th! Well, you’ve convinced a nonbeliever! Thanks again!

How could they be a nonbeliever and still waste money on a spell?

I ordered OBEAH spell in June, I have been told that my spell will cast on July 1st. But guess what happened? What I have asked has already become true!!! It is unbelievable, and totally magic!

This basically says “I gave you my money, you did nothing yet and it worked!” Why does that sound logical at all to this person? And why do the VoodooFolks consider this a good testimony? These people are making so little sense…

Madhya Pradesh: Inmates can reduce their jail sentence by 15 days for every three months of yoga spent, as well as studying for degrees, or attending literacy courses. I think this is a remarkably productive thing to do in prisons.

You might be aware that I too am a big fan of Yoga, it really helps me relax and stay fit.

The picture I included is obviously not that of an inmate, but this is my blog, right here it’s a case of, what would you rather look at.

This weeks Tunesday is a recommendation by my brother Dennis, which you all know from "Drunk adventures of Dennis”. When I asked him what his favorite album at this moment was, he came up with this one without hesitation. I must say, it has been one of my favorites as well for a very long time.

Alas, Metallica is not available on Spotify, presumably because they are still ill-informed about how the internet works(remember Napster?). They are available on a service simular to Spotify, however this service has some legality issues, which means that my webhost does not allow me to link to them, which I suppose is fair enough.

So I managed to grab another of these paid reviews, here it is.  The client wants me to use the term slot machines rvm for some reason and I couldn’t figure out what rvm stands for. Wikipedia has many definitions for the abbreviation rvm, but none that has anything to do with gambling. Google wasn’t much help either, all it seemed to give me were blogposts by folks that also got paid a few bucks for writing 200+ words with that link. Some of them didn’t even make sense. Another Google query helped me find the Dictionary of Gambling, which was very extensive, as in, after I clicked the letter R I had to browse long page after long page after long page before I hit the skating term Ruts(deep area between moguls) which was followed by the term Rw(Relative Work, which means skydiving in formations) Upon which I had to conclude that rvm does in fact not exist as a gambling term. Along with it came new dilemmas, such as: What does skydiving have to do with gambing? Or skating? Also, what are moguls? I guess skydiving is about gambling your life, while skating is gambling your life for whussies. Gambling your balls, maybe. Anyway, I digress. Again.

I found it out eventually, even though I found no evidence for it. Rvm is an abbreviation for the company that acts as a broker between the advertisers and the bloggers, the people that pay me to write this review. Why the client wants to put that in the link puzzles me though. When doing  the afore-mentioned research, I noticed a lot of the bloggers simply ignored it and pretended it just said slot machines. My personality disorders would not let me do that. The only option I had was to do the research and write the article like this.

The advertise in question, runs a site that shows you a collection of gambling sites that you can go to and gamble. Just like everyone else they claim to be the best. Basically you download the software and start playing. They say you can even play an entire row of slot machines, just like in vegas, and just blast away tons of money like that.

Remember though, the house always wins. Especially if the only rent they have to pay is for a server – it’s even so that you download the app, and your computer does the hard work, their servers only have to count the money. I’m in the wrong business.
