4chan prank means Justin Bieber must tour North Korea

4chan prank means Justin Bieber must tour North Korea: "Justin Bieber's 'My World Tour' Twitter voting contest asked fans to vote on which country he should tour next, without restriction on which countries could be included in the vote. 4chan smelled opportunity: Anonymous nominated North Korea, then the boards clickswarmed. At the time of this blog post, more than half a million votes now demand the Canadian singer go do his thing on Kim Jong Il's party train.

I can't tell what's funnier, the Bieb stunt or the Beeb's coverage:

The contest, which ends at 1800 on 7 July, saw North Korea move from 24th to 1st place in less than two days, several thousand votes ahead of Israel.

Given the fact that almost all citizens of North Korea are denied internet access and there are restrictive controls over all media, it is unlikely that any of the votes have actually come from within the country.

A spokesman for the North Korean Embassy in London told BBC News that any application for 16-year-old Bieber to tour would be dealt with by its mission to the United Nations, although the matter would be referred to Pyongyang.

Thank you for reminding us this is serious bizness, BBC News. Anyway, if the prank's outcome really does obligate Bieber to go to North Korea—hey, fair's fair— let's just hope he stays there. Just one day left for votes, as I publish this blog post!

Also: 4chan's been busy with this guy. Ars Technica reports on a related attack that exploited a YouTube vulnerability.

A lot of people have trouble getting to sleep. You can develop insomnia at any age, and it can be very frustrating. Furthermore, this can cause us to have a lot less energy when we wake up in the morning, and this can lead to developing minor illnesses such as the common cold. This article will show you how to get to sleep faster.

Steps

1. 
   
   First of all, take a relaxing bath. Fill it with bathsalts/bubblebath if you want to. Lavender is very useful if you want to get to sleep, so try and get a couple of bath products that are scented with it. Don't splash around too much; just lie there and relax.
2. Do something relaxing before you go to bed. Listen to calming music, read a book, or do some writing. Don't watch TV or go on the computer - these things wake your brain up, meaning that, even though your body might be tired, your mind will still be wide awake, making it difficult to go to sleep.
3. 
   
   If you're hungry, eat a piece of fruit. Fruit slowly releases energy, meaning that you won't have a big sugar rush right after you've eaten it or when you're trying to sleep.
4. 
   
   Go to bed at the time that you normally would, or a little earlier. Trying to get to sleep two hours earlier than you normally would will confuse your body clock, and you may end up staying up even later than usual.
5. 
   
   Allow your thoughts to wander. If you need to, listen to some soothing music. Eventually, you will fall asleep.

 Tips

• It helps if there isn't much light coming into the room. Draw the curtains, and if need be, wear an eye-mask.
• Make sure you have comfortable pillows and cushions.
• Make sure you aren't too hot or cold. If you're hot, replace your duvet with a sheet, or wear a t-shirt instead of a thick, woolly jumper. If you're cold, add an extra duvet or blanket.
• Try meditating before bed. This will help relax your mind and body.

Geography of Lost island

Geography of Lost island: "

GIS guy Jonah Adkins maps the geography of Lost (the tv series). It looks like I missed out on quite a bit. Unfortunately, I only got up to the point in the first season where they saw a dead person hanging in a tree. I could not deal with all the insane cliffhangers.

I'm sure many of you were fans though, so you can stare at the maps for a while to temporarily fill the gaping hole in your life since the show ended.
