Slovenian swimmer nears halfway point in Amazon swim
Slovenian Martin Strel approached the halfway point of his attempt to swim the entire length of the Amazon river Thursday, trying to avoid severe burns, alligators and the dreaded bloodsucking toothpick fish.
The 52-year-old Strel has swum Europe's Danube River, China's Yangtze and the Mississippi, according to his support team. He has averaged about 90 kilometres a day since he began his 5,300-kilometre swim from the river's source in Peru on Feb. 1.

Google has also removed the BBC timestamped video from 9/11
The crowned kings of censorship Google have "pulled" the News 24 "timestamp" video that shows the BBC reporting the collapse of Building 7 26 minutes before it happened. Meanwhile, the establishment media continues to ignore the WTC 7 farce as a whole, including the inconceivable notion that BBC World have mysteriously lost all their 9/11 footage.

Ten More Albums in Ten Minutes (mp3s)
The deadline for the Sixty Second Song Contest has passed and in the next week or so, I hope to post the 30 finalists for listener and reader voting.

The Rush remix is only one album side, but balancing that out is the Brian Eno remix, which is two albums in one minute (one of the left channel and one on the right channel)! Thanks to everybody who submitted remixes!
