By , on 25 June, 2010

The Catholic Church likes to promote itself as a beacon of morality in a fallen world. Shame the reality isn’t anything close to what they’d like you to believe:

By , on 26 March, 2008

OK this is going to seem a bit odd, but I’ve been asked if I can track down someone who wrote an entry about the WinFixer 2005 Malware over at the B.I.S.S.

Here’s a shocker: Those Enzyte ads are pure bullshit.
