Death Note


Hello World!!!

I would to talk to you about Death Note. It is a Japanes manga series created by writer Tsugumi Ohba and illustrator Takeshi Obata.

Summary:
Shinigami own notebooks called “Death Notes” which are used as killing devices. Whoever’s name they write down in a death note will die within 40 seconds. Shinigami Ryuk dropped his Death Note in the human world where it’s found by honor high school student Light. With the death note actually having directions in it for its use, Light discovers he now has the power to discreetly kill people, and with this new power he plans to change the world in his ideal world by killing off criminals. Eventually the governments of the countries around the world notice the unusual amounts of deaths of their criminals, and figure out someone is behind them, but they have no way of discovering it themselves. That’s when they hire L, a master detective, to find out who is behind the murders.

Music -"La Chanson du dimanche"


Since February, Alexandre and Clement, two happy musicians and lyricists of their condition, concludes weeks of hard work by a music clip on a thematic of the current political and social "Chanson du dimanche".

It was necessary to do a Paris concert in Bellevilloise, the first part of Fatals Picards and especially the transit strike this month of November with their "Petit cheminot"(Little railwayman) to Start a conciderable success. A song funny and light, like his parents. "We have no legitimacy to criticize the policies or the social movement", says Alexandre.

In the first rank of their "sundays victims", we find Nicolas Sarkozy, the president which finds his popular consecration: "Nicolas et Rachida", "Le pouvoir d'achat"(The purchasing power)."Sarko accompany us so everywhere, all the time, we can only speak" Alexandre fun.

Darwin Awards


A Darwin Award is a tongue-in-cheek honor named after evolutionary theorist of Charles Darwin. "Awards" have been given for people who "do a service to Humanity by removing themselves from the Gene pool", i.e., lose the ability to reproduce, as early as 1863. It is for people who kill, or in rare cases, sterilize themselves accidentally by attempting to do stupid feats. As described in the Darwin Award books: The Awards honour people who ensure the long-term survival of the human race by removing themselves from the gene pool in a sublimely idiotic fashion. While an attempt is made to disallow urban legends from the awards, some older winners have been 'granffathered' to keep their awards.

Examples of Darwin award winners include :
- juggling active hand grenades (Croatia, 2001)
- jumping out of a plane to film skydivers without wearing a parachute (U.S., 1987),
- trying to get enough light to look down the barrel of a loaded gun using a cigarette lighter (U.S., 1996),
- using a lighter to illuminate a fuel tank to make sure it contains nothing flammable (Brazil, 2003), (This method is not entirely original: a mid-1950's Burma-Shave commercial reads:"He lit a match to check a tank. That's why they call him Skinless Frank.")
- attempting to play Russian roulette with a semi-automatic pistol that automatically reloads the next round into the chamber,
- crashing through a window and falling to your death in trying to demonstrate that the window is unbreakable.
