So, the word on the street is that there will be a Star Academy Tunisia soon.
It seems like Cactus Prod, the people behind implementing “The Final Decision” game show here, are in talks to get the rights to do a Star Academy Tunisia.
I hope they make it. Should be fun.
Well it seems my blog has become the official LBC Star Academy blog, lol.
I posted once about the show and the fact that 3 Tunisians are on it. Since then, that one post’s comments have turned into a message board for fans of the show wishing luck and expressing admiration for the competitors.
Recently, even the guys from LBC have starting posting messages of their own, messages they received from fans by sms, …etc.
I think it’s pretty cool 🙂
Here’s the original post in all it’s glory : Star Academy on LBC.
According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, in 2002?

Now, this is the kind of news I could certainly do without.
But as I was unlucky enough to have a few seconds of my life wasted on reading this, I’m posting it to waste the same time from your lives too 😛
After 43 years as one of the world’s prettiest pairs, the perfect plastic couple is breaking up. The couple’s “business manager,” Russell Arons, vice president of marketing at Mattel, said that Barbie and Ken “feel it’s time to spend some quality time — apart.”
“Like other celebrity couples, their Hollywood romance has come to an end,” said Arons, who quickly added that the duo “will remain friends.”
… Arons hinted Wednesday that the separation may be partially due to Ken’s reluctance to getting married. All those bridal Barbie dolls in toy chests around the globe are really just examples of Barbie’s wishful thinking, she explained.

Here’s the true version of the story. The real reason behind this breakup is because Ken is supernaturally gay, and Barbie being the warm and loving bitch that she is didn’t want to leave him earlier and risk exposing him even if it meant she’d stay 43 years without real sex.
But when Ken went too far and told her he was going to go public and start acting in gay porn movies, she just had to dump him. Enough was enough.

Just came across a cool site detailing the history of Tux (The Linux penguin).
Why a penguin ?
How was it created ?
And every other question is answered.
It’s quite funny and cool.
Here’s a funny part that Linus wrote describing the penguin he wants for a logo:
… So when you think “penguin”, you should be imagining a slighly overweight penguin (*), sitting down after having gorged itself, and having just burped. It’s sitting there with a beatific smile – the world is a good place to be when you have just eaten a few gallons of raw fish and you can feel another “burp” coming.
Check out the complete history of Tux.
