MIND ASSESSED

From the Melbourne Herald Sun, May 21 (link no longer available):

David Hicks won’t be able to see visitors for a week and is under 24-hour video watch while his state of mind is assessed ...

Defence lawyer David McLeod said Hicks wanted to study zoology or ecology. He is reportedly a fan of environmentalist Tim Flannery, the 2007 Australian of the Year.

Flannery has many fans, including a chap at YouTube who asks:

What are electral cycles?

They cause globtral warming.

  1. Hicks will have to religiously practice saying "You know" to make the grade.  For starters incorporating same in daily prayer rituals will assist in modifying and encoding the phrase in his every day vernacular.

    Success will be achieved when he reaches an innate "You know Rate" (UKR) of ten per sentence. 

    Grand masters of this craft have been known to reach a UKR of fifteen per sentence.

    Go for it Davey Mohammed Daewoo!  You too can be another Flummery!

  2. What are electral cycles?

    Hybrid motorcycles?
    The electorate gets a jolt every 3-4 years?

  3. What are electral cycles?

    Def 1. Once every 3 years in Australia (4 years in the US) the voting populace are threatened with electrocution if they don’t vote conservative.

    Def 2. A crude contraption that has not lived up to the promised dream that is the hover car.

  4. The same as menstrual cycles only they come every 3 years or so instead of every 28 days.

    Bugger it, was there to be hit.

  5. Flannery [in his infuriatingly patronising know-all way]: “(blah blah) meteorologists - these are people who read the weather on television- (blah blah)”.

    Some of these people would probably take exception to his simplistic description of their profession.

  6. What are electral cycles?

    I think they are the exercise bikes in the first class cabin of a jumbo jet. Flannery is the ideal person to ask about them.

  7. What are electral cycles?

    And this person is forced to vote?  Under the threat of a fine?

  8. What are electral cycles

    Isnt Electra the female equivalent of Oedipus?  i.e. she has the hots for her dad.  So an ‘Electral Cycle’ could be...something rather ghastly?

  9. Whats the bet he is having a hard time adjusting to a prison environment were the response to most requests is “No, fuck off, I dont care your a maggot”?

    Where he doesnt matter to the average screw, hes just another piece of shit to be ignored till the end of the shift. That might break him more than 3 years of lay-z-boys and good tucker ever did.

    What’s the prob - is he throwing his faeces at the visitors or summit?

    He is reportedly a fan of environmentalist Tim Flannery.

    Yep, always a sure sign of mental instability.

  12. Australian of the year,Tim Flannery, has Australia’s terrorist of the year, David Hicks, as a fan.

    Maybe the two of them can get to know each other and declare a Jihad on all those who are non - believers in the increasingly popular religion which goes under various names such as “Climate Change” and “Global Warming”.

  13. Another one from the ‘you have got to be kidding’ file. Hicks’ lawyers are probably on their way to Indonesia now to represent him.

  14. What’s up with Flannery’s eyes? He looks like a panda bear.

  16. Zoology! Stone me.  That’s a rigorous science course. It takes brains. Perhaps Hicks thinks it’s a Certificate III at the local TAFE. And even it would be too hard for him.

  17. Tim “Rock Botherer” Flannery is commenting on someone’s elses lack of qualification?

    Oh the irony.

  18. Poor David, maybe he should look here and find a different ology.

  19. And in other news Pakistan complains about Salman Rusdhie’s knighthood.

    Bloody literary critics.

  21. No, no, no!  He meant “spectral cycles”, not electral cycles.  Those are cycles with a lot of wheels in impossible positions, kind of like an Escher drawing, meant to be ridden by believers in the phantasmaGORical such as man-made GW, appeasement, winning by surrendering, and fairies.

  22. #19 Surfmaster - Classic line from the Religious Affairs Minister of Pakistan: “The West is accusing Muslims of extremism and terrorism. If someone exploded a bomb on his body, he would be right to do so unless the British government apologizes and withdraws the ‘sir’ title,” ul-Haq said.” ( link). Unwitting irony; it’s one of the major products of the Islamic world today.

    Assessed? The problem is obvious; he’s a sociopath. Islam was invented for men like him.

    He is reportedly a fan of environmentalist Tim Flannery.

    Recognizes a fellow blowhard?

  30. Oh man.

    Listen to the part around 4:15 - 4:30.  He says the Aussie coal and uranium industries are conspiring to destroy the world with climate change and WMD.

    Have you noticed the weird way his eyes go buggy every few seconds?  Classic indication of nuttiness.

  31. Oh, and it’s “too late for debate” and the solutions “won’t cost anyone anything.”

    Well, that solves everything!

  32. Exactly why one shouldn’t force the “drooling sub-moron” demographic to vote.

    Flannery’s anti-nuke psycho-babble here is a road to Damascus (look out for Antony) turnaround from this

    Would Tim’s stance on this video have anything to do with payments from the WWF and Purves Environmental Fund (WTF?)as mentioned as sponsors at this website? (Bottom left)

    Just asking - because it’s way weird.
