    Aliens from outer space?

    The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us. (from Calvin and Hobbes)

    Opeth's Worst Album?

    Well, if you don't look at the others, BWP is great - if you do, however, it becomes rather ridiculous: To me it seems like BWP was written around a nice sequence of chords, with some second-rate melody forced into this scheme. On the old albums the chords are comparatively primitive, but they...

    Song to be played at your funeral...

    Definitely "Lacrimosa" from Mozart's requiem (btw the only great thing he ever did...) Not even My Dying Bride can reach this incredible sadness...

My problem with a government taking my fingerprints is not, that they might use them to detain some murderers, it's on a more basic level: if you try to stop walking...

    Freedom for Sale

    Ever read 1984? Of course the horrible ideas about total surveillance developed there are quite as exaggerated as demands for an "inactive" government would be, but anyway it's the most important thing to find a certain balance between these extremes - and to keep the government from disrupting...

    What is your reason for living?

    Well, I was born, and so here I am... I don't really know, if there is something like a deeper sense or reason in our existence, and as there is no way to find out, I'm going to live my life and make the best out of it. Now, of course, the problem is how to find this "best thing". This is...

    the fastest drumer in the world?
