OK guys, I’ve added a new link to the left bar.

It’s for the Hunger Site, its a website where all you have to do is click on the button and the sponsoring companies will give money to charities, who will in turn use that money to buy food for starving people. You don’t have to register, or even give your e-mail address. You can click once a day and there are little tabs at the top showing the other sections of the site, which if memory serves, are the same thing but for:

free mammograms (these are expensive so 4 million clicks only gets 100 mammograms, so its important that you click)

saving the rainforest (at the moment they are managing to buy an incredible 1 million square feet of forest per day)

child health (they helped more than 500,000 children last year)

animal rescue (providing over 500,000kg of food per month to animal shelters)

It probably took me less than a minute to click on all five sites, and whilst there is a lot of advertising, its not like you’re forced to buy anything, so I think it isn’t too much effort when you consider what you can do.

I promise I’ll write something funny next time.

Ok, since I don’t really do anything I end up having to think about things, so here’s todays though.

Why do people seem to talk about Karma as if its this scientifically proven thing?

Like on TV (and more annoyingly in everyday life) if something bad happens (like you spill a pint) then someone, usually a girl, goes “well thats Karma for you”, but it isn’t, do you even believe in the religion Karma is a part of? (buddhism?) is there any possibly way to prove that Karma exists, or is it that people have confused the words coincidence and Karma.

Fair enough if you actually believe in it to its full extent, and have actually read/been taught about it, then I can accept that, but please for the love of God (see what I did there?) don’t just casually drop into a conversation as an explanation of something which was an accident.
