September 11

Well its been five years apparently since that event - I am sure you know to what I am referring. Funny how it seems to get less public attention as time goes on. It's almost like we need something like that every so often to remind us that we are not living in happy fairy land where everyone will get along if we just start being nice to those less fortunate countries. But as long as you don't ask people to be nice to the person sitting next to them I dont see why that couldn't work. Of course, those other countries would first have to accept 9/11 as September 11th and not 9th of November! God bless America!

Steve Irwin died

...as the whole world knows by now. They are talking about state funerals and the like now. Perhaps they will bury him in a island in the middle of the crocodile swamp at Australia Zoo so that people can make a pilgrimage to his grave - if they are brave enough.

I mean c'mon, yeah he was a likable chap with apparently good intentions but lets face it the guy always was a walking meat popsicle. Although the manner of his death was a bit freakish, it is not really a surprise that he was killed by wildlife.

I guess people thought he would end up as one of those people you vaguely remember on a "where are they now?" show like that Richard Attensomething guy.

While I am sure that most (myself included) feel sympathy towards his family, I am also sure that many will not hesitate to support the invasive probing of the press by buying their gutter scraping tripe. And so the stings continue...

Hello World!

I am just doing some research into blogs and thought it might actually be a good idea to set one up.

In the unlikely event that anyone cares, the name Mr Beneuto is a nickname given to me by a colleague that sorta stuck. I decided to pick the them "minima black" for my theme because a) I liked the look of it, b) I am a minimalist and c) my favourite colour is black (back off geeks - black is a colour as far as I am concerned ;-)

Well lets see if anything actually becomes of this.
