Halloween isn’t that big a deal in the UK – many people here see it as a bit too commercialized and American – I know people that view trick and treating as begging, or even pretend to be out when people come knocking. Miserable bastards. Me, I kind of like it – especially scaring the living fucking shit out of the neighbourhood kiddies.

I fucking love this story.

Although really, you do have to feel sorry for the guy. Daisuke Enomoto, the multi-millionaire executive of one of Japan’s leading ISPs Livedoor, paid Space Adventures $21 million to travel to the International Space Station and to be the first tourist to take a walk in space. Sadly he failed his physical, and is now trying to sue SA for allegedly misleading him. Harsh.
