lucy in the sky for real

THE real life Lucy from the Beatles’ song ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds has died after a long fight against lupus. The death of Ms Lucy Vodden at age 46 has been announced by St Thomas’ Hospital in London, where she was treated.

The hospital said Monday she died after battling the disease for years. Ms Vodden came to the attention of John Lennon when the Beatles’ young son Julian came home from school one day with a drawing that he said was Lucy in the sky with diamonds. The elder Lennon turned it into a psychedelic masterpiece long associated with LSD use.

Julian Lennon reached out to Ms Vodden in recent years as she suffered from the disease. Lupus is a chronic illness during which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissue.

preposterous

Some of you may have already read this article in the news recently. For those of you who missed out, http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hKRFkyKV3PZlj6hOKJ2ypglyXXSw. Basically its about the Malaysian Tourism Minister, planning to lay claim to dishes that have been ‘hijacked’ by other countries. This is unreasonable and unthinkable and illogical, you crazy nutcase of a lady!

If you want to bicker over some dance with Indonesia, knock yourself out. But leave our chicken rice and bak kut teh alone! They are ours! The one thing we can proudly claim ours is food! Don’t take this away from us, it’s called stealing. Try stealing Singapore noodles too, why don’t you?

Malaysia tak-boleh!

I really hate you. But I won’t kill you because :

Hindu gawker : I’ll be born as a rat in my next incarnation, which would suck because I am lactose intolerant and claustrophobic. Oh, if I could only digest dairy products and tolerate closed spaces!

Christian gawker : Much as I would love to, I do not have the authority. I would rather wait for our Lord, the Christ, to return to earth on judgment day and have his way with your sorry ass. I hope spiked dildos are involved. It should be fun.

Muslim gawker : It’s Ramadan today and I am not allowed to kill you on Ramadan. Oh, I so wish it weren’t Ramadan today. Could you meet me here again tomorrow, you think?

Buddhist gawker : Killing you would give me great pleasure, but since pleasure only leads to suffering, it would hamper my quest for a permanent state of enlightenment or Nirvana, even though I believe Soundgarden was in fact the best 90s Seattle-based band.

Jain gawker : My religion forbids me from harming living beings. You are alive, aren’t you? Maybe if you pretended you weren’t breathing for a second so I could tell people I didn’t know you were alive and then I could jump up and down on your face…..Godamnit, you’re breathing again. Ah well, I’ll just go shoot a pillow instead. Oh wait, I can’t, there’s probably a bacterial colony living on it. Damn it!!

Atheist gawker : I won’t kill you because a> it wouldn’t be a nice thing to do, b> It’s against the law and c> Maintaining the integrity of this law is essential to my own survival.

I think I found this on a tumblr site a while back but can’t seem to find it again. Anyway it’s hilarous! And in a way kind of sets you thinking too.
