Most Incredible Hockey Fight Ever

June 29, 2007

The video clip below is from a 1987 match in Czechoslovakia between Canada and Russia. It started off just like any other hockey fight, but soon escallated into a situation where all of the players on the ice were going at it.

When we discuss it I normally argue that the consequences of being wrong about global warming are potentially far, far worse than the cost [...]

Tiananmen Square and the “Tank Man” Protester

June 25, 2007

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 18 years since the Tiananmen Square Massacre and the legendary “tank man”.
