I always thought Marilyn Manson was just an idiot. Shouting obscenities, trying to offend everyone in any possible way, etc. Then I saw few videos on youtube:
Marilyn Manson Bowling for Columbine
Marilyn Manson on O’Reilly
Marilyn Manson speech
While I am not going to start listening to his music (I just don’t like it), I started greatly respecting […]

The full title reads: The Moral Animal: Why We Are the Way We Are: The New Science of Evolutionary Psychology.
The Moral Animal is a book about evolutionary psychology written by Robert Wright.
I liked the book a lot, but I am a bit unsure what to write in here… The Moral Animal shows how our behaviour […]

I finished watching Neon Genesis Evangelion just yesterday.
I consider mecha genre childish, dull and stupid. No sane person can find a giant humanoid-looking robot suitable for fighting a war.
The way in which computers are “hacked” in Evangelion, is also rather weird. The defenders can see the progress the attacker is making in real time and […]

I’ve been to Animefest the other day. It wasn’t nearly as great as the last year’s one but I still enjoyed it. Here are my impressions:
Otaku no Video – parody of otaku (fanatic manga/anime fans), quite funny. I’ve already seen something similar and find it a bit surprising (in a good way) that these are […]

I recently found a website called crime library. The stories there are very very disturbing. They are in fact so disturbing that I suggest you not to read it before going to sleep (or not to read it at all if you just don’t feel like it).
I will list a few stories that are particularly […]

I’m changing my eating habits!
Throughout all my life I’ve eaten much more than I wanted to. What is worse - I didn’t even realize it, I got used to that uneasy feeling of having full stomach and being all tired and sleepy because of this.
When my grandma asked me whether there’s a possibility of eating […]

I thought it would be fun to try to find polish words that have funny meaning for czechs. I started with writing it by hand, asking people and it took me at least an hour to find out that lists like this one already do exist and that such words are called “false friends“. Nevertheless, […]

I’ve finally read Dan Brown’s book The Da Vinci Code. It’s considered a bestseller, so you’ve probably read it or at least heard about it (and if not, feel free to follow the link I gave). What amazes me is how much stir it caused among certain religious organizations. For example the official czech web […]

I haven’t ridden a bike for several months (since winter, more exactly (you might find it weird but I don’t)). Today we made a small ride which ended being slightly more than 100km long. Of course my legs hurt, but what I find more surprising is that my wrists do too. Of course the seat […]

I am going to spend the weekend at animefest, annual event held in Brno that is all about manga and anime (too lazy to put links to wikipedia, you’ve got to search for it yourself ).
I’ve been there last year and really liked it, so I hope this year won’t be much different. Well, gonna […]
