Matthijs van Nieuwkerk weet niet of ie kaal wordt
JA, Nee, JA, Nee (Ja dus!)
AMSTERDAM – Het lijkt erop dat Matthijs van Nieuwkerk zijn afgezegde afspraak bij de kapper weer nieuw leven in kan blazen. ADO Den Haag is op de vijfde plek in de Eredivisie geëindigd en dat kost de presentator zijn wilde lokken.
Drie jaar geleden beloofde de presentator in Holland Sport zijn hoofd kaal te scheren als de Haagse voetbalclub binnen vijf jaar in de top vijf van de Eredivisie zou staan.
Aanvankelijk leek het erop dat ADO op de zevende plek van de competitie eindigde, maar daarin is na een play off in het Europese voetbal verandering in gekomen. Dat meldt De Pers vandaag. Doordat de Hagenaren uiteindelijk FC Groningen af wisten te troeven, is het elftal alsnog op de vijfde plek in de ranglijst uitgekomen.
Of Matthijs zijn belofte gestand houdt, moet nog blijken. De presentator van De Wereld Draait Door is momenteel met vakantie. Eerder zei hij erover:

Duke Nukem Forever last delay????
Duke Nukem Forever, the game that turned into the industry’s longest running joke as it entered development hell (its ridiculous 14-year development cycle) has encountered one ‘last’ delay to its launch. In an announcement today, Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford surprised nobody with the news that the project has suffered a one more last-minute slip, moving from a 6th of May release date in the UK to the 10th of June – for reasons that have yet to be shared.

Dad Confronts Abortion Protesters
We’re used to seeing videos of anti-abortion activists spewing venom in front of women’s clinics, but rarely do we get to see the tables turned. Thanks to Aaron Gouveia, now we do.
He and his 16-weeks-pregnant wife went to a women’s clinic in Brookline, Mass. for an abortion after discovering that their baby had a congenital deformity with no chance for survival. On their way in, they were confronted by images of dismembered fetuses and two women yelling, “You’re killing your unborn baby!” Enraged, Gouveia decided to confront the protesters while his wife was in surgery, and he caught the whole interaction on his cellphone.

Climategate: Those hacked e-mails
Now that the conspiracy theorists have blown off steam, it’s time for a more sober analysis of those e-mails and what they mean. I can’t go through all of them, there are far too many, and . So I’ve taken the two that seem to be getting conspiracy theorists most worked up — Phil Jones’s e-mail about “Mike’s Nature trick” and Kevin Trenberth’s e-mail about a “travesty.” I’m glad to see that skeptic websites that cover the science understand what these e-mails actually mean. As you’ll see, very few commentators who jumped on the conspiracy bandwagon even before reading the e-mails mandged to get it right. [Youtube]

How to make your cover more ‘inclusive’
The smiling, ethnically diverse family featured on the cover of Toronto’s latest edition of its summer Fun Guide was digitally altered to make the photo more “inclusive,” which city officials say is in keeping with a policy to reflect diversity.
A spokesman for the department that publishes the guide listing recreation activities confirmed the publication was doctored to insert the face of a different father.
