Useless Ish

innocon_mini_falcon

Looks like a toy, doesn’t it?  If all goes well, the Uganda People’s Defence Forces will own it to conduct “intelligence-gathering missions along its borders.”

This is the unmanned air vehicle, the Mini Falcon I UAV, from Israeli company, Innocon.  The World Aeronautical Press Agency reports that the Ugandan government is considering the purchase of the Mini Falcon I UAC.

The Mini Falcon is capable of real-time surveillance and intelligence.  It has a wingspan of five meters and has a maximum launch weight of 85 kilograms.  It can operate for 12 straight hours.  It is capable of unmanned take off and landing.

There you go.  Another set of useless facts delivered straight to you for … well, for whatever.

 You are welcome.

Excuse My French

Kanye_West_HeartlessKanye West is a dumb fuck.

Although I have a tin ear for rap music, I quite enjoy Kanye West’s work.  That, however, isn’t enough to change my opinion of him.

Kanye West brags about being a disestablishmentalist.  His disdain for books, reading and formal education is a matter of public record.  Interestingly, the man, who says his decision to drop out of school was the best he has ever made, is the music world’s latest author.

Kanye West has co-authored a book, Thank You and You’re Welcome, a 52-page compilation of ‘Kanye-isms.’

In an interview with Reuters on the release of his book Kanye said:

“Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed.  I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph. I am a proud non-reader of books. I like to get information from doing stuff like actually talking to people and living real life.”

 

Jayzus!
