Golf

I've just taken up the game and I so want one of these


you know one thing amazing is that when I tell people Im learning to play, they never fail to give me advice.
"keep your head down"
"keep your left arm straight"
"imagine the ball is not there when your hitting it"

The thing is most of these ppl happily admit that they have never been to a lesson in their lives. . . . . .

RealDoll

Not sure how many of you have heard of the RealDoll.

Its basically a lifesized doll with posable limbs and texture similar to skin. Fairly heavy and has texture similar to human skin and has erm .. . is anatomically correct shall we say.

Of course the first thing that comes to mind is that its a glorifed blow-up doll and the ppl who buy this are freaks. It get weirder, suprisingly there are couples buying these dolls dressing them up as a member of their family.

As I looked through these photos my opinion went from sleezy, to creepy to just plain depressed. I ended up wondering what trauma these people must have gone through to have to end up having to substitute the social interaction that humans crave, with one way dialogue with an inanimate object.

sleezy/creepy/depressing. You make up our own mind

Interesting

Interesting little research here

StarWars

Oh farnee farnee.

Actually I sometimes intentionally turn on the subtitles for a bit of a laugh.

Beer4Kids

Nothing says good parenting like making a proper beer available for your kids.

"Even kids cannot stand life unless they have a drink," reads the product's advertising slogan.

I just love the Japanese

ICE

This is the latest thing that I found while trolling for interesting stuff to put on this website. Expect to receive about a gazillion copies of this in your inbox for the next few weeks.

I always refuse to circulate these viral emails for various reasons;
1. They are a waste of time and bandwidth
2. They are a good way for spammers to harvest email addresses
3. Most of them are full of untruths, inaccuracies or just plain crap.

For example,

-if the floods in Mumbai were devestating enough to drown people, dont you think it would also short circuit the phone in your pocket?
-most people who know how to use a mobile phone have enough intelligence to track your phone book for entries like 'mother', 'office' or 'home' rather than something cryptic like ICE. If they dont know how to use a mobile phone, then its not much use putting an emergency number eh?






IN CASE OF EMERGENCY (ICE)


>Due to the recent bombing in London and floods in Mumbai, there has been
a tremendous push to launch the International "In Case of Emergency"
(ICE) campaign.


As you know, many people were injured in these incidents. Many of
those injured were found with their cell phones. First responders
used the injured person's cell phone to try and locate a family member
that they could notify on the injured persons behalf. However the rescuers
found it difficult to locate the appropriate person.



Wireless subscribers are now being asked by Public Safety Officials
all over the world to store the word "ICE" in their wireless phone address
book and put their next of kin's phone number next to it. In the event
of an emergency, this person would be contacted quickly by ambulance and
hospital staff. It's just that easy! (Source: BBC News)


Please take a moment to program someone that you would like to
be contacted in case of an emergency into your cell phone with the word
"ICE". Public Safety officials around the world will know what this means.


Forward it to as many persons you can, this is a good idea. Do not
forget to do it on your mobile first.

Riot!

oh these Singaoreans crack me up.

Not that Malaysians are much different actually. Over here the worse riots we had in 35 years left about 11 people dead. In South America they call that a football match.

API

Visitors will be pleased to note that most readings in the Klang Valley are at Hazardous levels. There was a smattering of rain today (seeding?) but the haze is gonna last at least a month with no shift in the wind direction.

I dont get this rating thing. So they tell us the air quality is hazardous and yet are unable to recommend any action to take when it does reach such levels?

Secondly by what sorta lousy luck is it that the only place badly affected by fires in Sumatra is the Klang Valley?

Thirdly why hasnt there been a decisive statment halting at least primary schools and kindergardens(if the air quality is at hazardous levels). Is it because the schools might be closed indefinitely?

Lastly, there will be huge economic repercussions of this haze. Tourism, consumer retail and outdoor leisure will see huge drops not to mention the loss in productivity from illness.

Creepy.

Amazing,

With one video they practically guarantee this kid a life time of therapy and sexuality analysis.

I have a real problem with parents who force their kids to act like little adults. Kids should be kids and should not have the weight of their parents unfulfilled aspirations burdened upon them.

Having said that, Tiger Woods started playing golf before he was three, broke par by the time he was 13 and turned pro after 2 years in university. Dont think there is anyone who wouldnt mind being him

Gadgets!

OH I so want one of these although it strikes me as being completely useless if there is more than one guy coming after you. damn funny video there as well :)

and I cant even BEGIN to think of the uses I could have with this and my existing gameboy.

Addictive

give this a shot. sounds complicated but quite fun when you get into it. 30 mins wasted already.

enjoy it while it lasts coz when more ppl find out about it, some idiots are definitely going to start screwing around with it

Facinating

Heaps of information here, if you have the time to sort through all the different categories.
