Orwell

A passage from George Orwell's , 'A Hanging'

It was about forty yards to the gallows. I watched the bare brown back of the prisoner marching in front of me. He walked clumsily with his bound arms, but quite steadily, with that bobbing gait of the Indian who never straightens his knees. At each step his muscles slid neatly into place, the lock of hair on his scalp danced up and down, his feet printed themselves on the wet gravel. And once, in spite of the men who gripped him by each shoulder, he stepped slightly aside to avoid a puddle on the path.

It is curious, but till that moment I had never realized what it means to destroy a healthy, conscious man. When I saw the prisoner step aside to avoid the puddle, I saw the mystery, the unspeakable wrongness, of cutting a life short when it is in full tide. This man was not dying, he was alive just as we were alive. All the organs of his body were working — bowels digesting food, skin renewing itself, nails growing, tissues forming — all toiling away in solemn foolery. His nails would still be growing when he stood on the drop, when he was falling through the air with a tenth of a second to live. His eyes saw the yellow gravel and the grey walls, and his brain still remembered, foresaw, reasoned — reasoned even about puddles. He and we were a party of men walking together, seeing, hearing, feeling, understanding the same world; and in two minutes, with a sudden snap, one of us would be gone — one mind less, one world less.

Cola

I gain great pleasure from pointing out that the average soft drink has as many calories as a beer, and in fact is even more fattening (something to do with the thermal calorific content or whatever).

As a rough gauge, I would like you to let me know how many cans you drink in an average week.

Diluted coke anyone?

Xmas

I laughed out when I saw this photo. In the spirit of Xmas (dun even get me started about how christmas turned into xmas), I present to you a picture of the ex-Nazi, Emperor Palpatine.

I have a sneaky suspicion that the editor who approved that photo is going to get a pretty small bonus this year.

If anyone needs help with this, it is going to cost you a beer.

ATM

btw the N in PIN stands for number so, PIN is sufficient, PIN number is redundant.

Otters

I think they are really cute animals. Like little swimming cats, except for the giant otters of the Amazon which can grow to 6 feet in length. I love how they dive, pick up shellfish and rocks at the same time, float on their backs and crack the buggers open like dinner at Fatty Crab (tm).

Oh and after what could have been a potentially embarrassing mistake, I can now also tell the difference between an otter and a beaver.

Rempit

While trawling through the local forums today, I came across this piece on mob mentality specifically regarding Mat Rempits. Thought it was well written by a Roland San and hope you find it interesting



"Mat Rempit is simply a label.

It serves to define a group of people, a sub-culture, and that is all it does.

Ultimately they are a mob. Mobs can be brought together by a common standard or characteristic, and here it is the motorcycle. Why? Because a bike allows cheap thrills for a cheap price. Ideal.

Now, the problem with mobs is that once they reach a critical population, say twenty of them riding around, each individual becomes anonymous. They become the group. They lose individual identity, and gain the identity of the group. And as a group, they feel they project more power, and therefore they lose the fear of repercussion. There is no consequence, and this power quickly goes to their heads. Law and reason no longer prevail, as they have large enough numbers to intimidate and allow them to do as they please. They feel that the group allows them to be more that they can be, and they display this by performing stunts or racing. They feel they are part of something, a sub-culture where they are accepted, where they are glorified. You read in the papers that they race for the cash, women and glory. Their motivation is to have something, because in the real world, they most likely have nothing.

Now, look back at the punk movement. It was a response to the British government's hold on the social order of things, and the traditional way life was led. It defied authority and order to give a voice to those who were disillusioned.

There's no difference with that and today's Rempit culture. They don't exactly lead the brightest of lives, and have to find escape in other ways. They're rebelling against the social order here, and against the limitations placed upon them.

There's more to this than illegal racing. It goes right down to what's wrong with today's society, and the solution lies there, not with intergrating them or outlawing them."

Parkour

For all of you that were thrilled by the first scene in Casino Royale, the scene was basically a type of free running called Parkour. Extremely popular in France where they have several groups doing it. The baddie in the initial scene actually is one of the founders of free running.

Today I fell down.

It has been a while since I fell..... in the past 12 months I have learnt;

to Walk
to Run, and
to Dance.

The reason why it happened is not important, sometimes any excuse will do. As I lay on the familar ground I tried to look up for a change and not let gravity do it's usual job. To all my friends, I recognise and appreciate the concern in your eyes as you speak to me. It has been one year, pretty much to the day and perhaps I have finally reached the final stage;

Few of my frens went down to Sinapore to play in the tourney over there. Was kinda tempted but didn't really have enough reason to go.

This would have made me change my mind.

A sign of the times perhaps? Finally a Bond with some backbone, not a weepy SNAG like Timothy Dalton or prissy Metrosexual like Brosnan.

Supposedly we are going to see a throwback to the old arrogant and cruel character from the Connery days. Finally! something i can relate to :P

Take a look at the website for this hotel room. Hmm... I wonder what they are suggesting you do on your honeymoon? :P

btw if anyone of you plan to go to Koh Samui, make sure you stay at Chaweng beach coz there is bugger all to do at the other beaches.

Fender

I grew up listening to this song, and it is probably the first one that I learnt to sing in entirety, including the Spanish verse. Dunno whether it is a result of being born in Los Angeles or having a dad who listened to country. One of the few songs that never fails to bring a smile to my face.

Hugz

Ok, when I heard that there was a guy going around, wanting to hug people on the street, my first reaction was that he was some sorta creep that just wanted to rub himself up on people.

However, as soon as the video started, I realised that this was something different. The video speaks to me about the social isolation that we are facing and how Juan Mann (say it out loud) is trying to make a difference.

Possibly the most uplifting video I have ever posted.

Structure

My loyal visitor will notice that my posts always have a one word heading. I like structure and brevity in most things in my life and I guess that extends to writing. This also explains why my posts are quite similar.

Including haikus, I find Flash Fiction quite interesting. This is writing which is limited to a certain number of words, and example of which would be the One Sentence Story.

I leave you with perhpas the finest example from Hemmingway;



For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn.

Bond

This is the theme song for the new Bond movie, Casino Royale. Chris Cornell had one of the best rock voices when he was in Soundgarden, but the story is that he wrecked his vocal chords with all that screaming which explains why this song lacks the vocal punch of his previous stuff.

quick trivia: Timothy Dalton was the first Bond to ever bleed.

I don't use cologne of any kind (yes I know I smell funny). Makes me sneeze and I can't even walk past the front entrance of a department store.

But even if I could, I wouldn't coz I cannot see the need to smear myself in whale puke and civet cat urine.

Heeho

You know I normally type some rubbish for each posting to set up the link or to explain the circumstances if it is a bit obscure. I guess typing more is an attempt to hide the fact that the subject probably is not as entertaining as I would like.

Anyways, this clip needs no setup.

HAaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiYA!

One of my few guilty pleasures is that I am a huge sucker martial arts movies. They don't need to have a plot, good acting or even a token female love interest. In particular, there are a few actors whos movies I always try and catch. I love the power of Jet Li and the choreograpy of Donnie Yen. Also look out for upcoming Tony Jaa (Ong Bak & Tom Yam Goong) who can do things which no-one, NO-ONE else can.

My Favorite MA series of all time is without doubt, Once Upon A Time in China.

As an individual film, I thought Hero is without peer, but the movie that had the greatest effect on me was this one (guilty pleasure) and I am sure anyone who was involved in TKD will know why.

You are on a horse, galloping at a constant speed. On your right side is a sharp drop off, on your left side is an elephant travelling at the same speed as you. Directly in front of you is a galloping kangaroo and your horse is unable to overtake it. Behind you is a lion running at the same speed as you and the Kangaroo. What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?

Memories

I was thinking back about my childhood earlier and I find it amazing that I can trace certain character traits back to specfic incidents in my early life.

My obsession with all things requiring batteries is no doubt as a result of all the toys I used to get back from Japan (which also explains why I am such a Japanophile)

My fear of swimming is from having swallowed half the swimming pool while almost drowning in a pool at age 7 while the 50 people and the instructor looked on.

And, without doubt, my constant need to figure out how things work, take them apart and put them back togeather (using ALMOST all the parts) comes from this man. I gift you with a slice of my childhood. I am sure it will bring a smile to your face.

Annoying!

When she goes down, he starts kicking her with his scuffed business shoes. As a crowd gathers, the drunk stops, staggers back, and slurs, "You're not so tough, Batman!"

How to write good


1. Avoid alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat.)
4. Employ the vernacular.
5. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
6. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
7. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
8. Contractions aren't necessary.
9. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
10. One should never generalize.
11. Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."
12. Comparisons are as bad as cliches.
13. Don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.
14. Be more or less specific.
15. Understatement is always best.
16. One-word sentences? Eliminate.
17. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
18. The passive voice is to be avoided.
19. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
20. Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
21. Who needs rhetorical questions?
22. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.

Paris

Oh I wanted to much to hate this Paris Hilton song. Unfortunately after hearing it, I have come to the realisation that it sounds just like every other manufactured pop song by Linsey Lohan, Ashlee Simpson or Gwen Stephanie (very similar).

Guess it speaks for the total dearth of talent in the pop music field, where singers singing is only of marginal importance.

Cancer

Probably the saddest thing about cancer is the sheer desperation of it. Given that it is incurable, people who have it will try anything and I personally find people or organisations that target these people and prey on them to be dispicable.

The proponents of this treatments say it is cheap, simple and effective and are implying that the major drug companies refuse to further its research as it will result in billions of dollars of lost revenue. The other side of the coin is that the detractors say the treatment plain does not work.

My sympathies to all those that have been affected by this disease, either directly or indirectly. It is one of those things which really have no silver lining and I can only wish that the answer was this simple

My internet connection was down for almost a week. Extremely annoying and I made sure to abuse the support staff on a regular basis. Having said that, I did find more time for myself, read more, and generally was more healthy.

Man I hope it doesn't happen again!


And if any of you missed your fix for weird news, here is an article for ya. I would not have posted it but for the fact that it is on Yahoo which means it must be true....

Cds

Perfect for those with too many Cds lying around the house in a pile with Sharpie scribbles on them.

Quite possibly the most useful site I have ever posted on my blog. Dont worry, it won't last.

EEEEWwww

No where is the bias in gender inequality more apparant than in the treatment of sexual predator teachers and their teenage victims. If 40yr old guy were to get caught with a 13yr old girl, everyone would be up in arms (and rightly so) demanding for his castration or worse.

However, as the Pamela Rogers case proves, the same does not apply for a woman teacher and her male teenage victim. I guess implicitly we assume that a 13 year old boy is going to be less affected by the experience than a girl would.

While this may be the case for a hottie like Pamela (meow!!!), I dont think any male should be cursed to have their first sexual experience with Linda Ann McBride.

Mackers

I normally have a smart ass comment for every situation that I am in. Maybe it's a defense mechanism or just an ego trip.

However, once in a while I come across somethings which just boggles the mind, and leaves me speechless. I dont quite know what to make of this Miss Mcdonald site. I find myself captivated by someone who would go to such lengths for the sake of her, and I use this word in the broadest sense of the term, art.

It could be a photo commentary on our obsession with capitalism, appearances and some ppls inate fear of clowns.

Either that or its just a girl that likes playing dress-up.

Joke

Headlines: MAN LOSES LEG IN GOLD MINING ACCIDENT.

A goldminer lost his leg in a GoldMining Accident.

"I'm Fucked now...who the hell wants a one legged gold digger?" he complained

"Me!" said Paul MacCartney.

Women

a.. Women especially love a bargain. The question of 'need'
is irrelevant, so don't bother pointing it out.
Anything on sale is fair game.



b.. Women never have anything to wear.
Don't question the racks of clothes in the closet;
you 'just don't understand'.



c.. Women need to cry. And they won't do it alone unless
they know you can hear them.
d.. Women will always ask questions that have no right
answer, in an effort to trap you into feeling guilty.



e.. Women love to talk. Silence intimidates them and
they feel a need to fill it, even if they have nothing to say.



f.. Women need to feel like there are people worse off than
they are. That's why soap operas and Oprah Winfrey-type
shows are so successful.



g.. Women don't need sex as often as men do.
This is because sex is more physical for men and
more emotional for women. Just knowing that the
man wants to have sex with them fulfills the emotional need.



h.. Women hate bugs. Even the strong-willed ones need a
man around when there's a spider or a wasp involved.



i.. Women can't keep secrets. They eat away at them from
the inside. And they don't view it as being untrustworthy,
providing they only tell two or three people.



j.. Women always go to public restrooms in groups.
It gives them a chance to gossip.



k.. Women can't refuse to answer a ringing phone,
no matter what she's doing. It might be the lottery calling.



l.. Women never understand why men love toys. Men understand
that they wouldn't need toys if women had an 'on/off' switch.



m.. Women think all beer is the same.



n.. Women keep three different shampoos and two different
conditioners in the shower. After a woman showers, the bathroom will
smell like a tropical rain forest.



o.. Women don't understand the appeal of sports. Men seek
entertainment that allows them to escape reality. Women seek
entertainment that reminds them of how horrible things could be.



p.. If a man goes on a seven-day trip, he'll pack five days
worth of clothes and will wear some things twice; if a woman goes on a
seven-day trip she'll pack 21 outfits because she doesn't know what
she'll feel like wearing each day.



q.. Women brush their hair before bed.



r.. Watch a woman eat an ice cream cone and you'll have a
pretty good idea about how she'll be in bed.



s.. Women are paid less than men, except for one field: Modeling.



t.. Women are never wrong. Apologizing is the man's
responsibility, 'It's there in the Bible'. Hmmm, who was it that gave
Adam the apple?



u.. Women do not know anything about cars. 'Oil-stick, oil
doesn't stick?'



v.. Women have better restrooms. They get the nice chairs and
red carpet. Men just get a large bowl to share.



w.. The average number of items in a typical woman's bathroom
is 437. A man would not be able to identify most of these items.



x.. Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women
aren't looking, men kick cats.



y.. Women love to talk on the phone. A woman can visit her
girlfriend for two weeks, and upon returning home, she will call the
same friend and they will talk for three hours.



z.. A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants,
empty the garbage, answer the phone, read a book, or get the mail.



aa.. Women will drive miles out of their way to avoid the
possibility of getting lost using a shortcut.



ab.. Women don't try as hard as men during sex; after all,
they don't fall asleep afterwards.



ac.. Women do NOT want an honest answer to the question, 'How
do I look?'



ad.. PMS stands for: Permissible Man-Slaughter. (Or at least
men think it means that. PMS also stands for Preposterous Mood Swings
and Punish My Spouse.



ae.. The first naked man a woman sees is 'Ken'.



af.. Women are insecure about their weight, butt, and breast
sizes.



ag.. Women will make three left-hand turns to avoid making
one right-hand turn.



ah.. 'Oh, nothing,' has an entirely different meaning in
woman-language than it does in man-language.



ai.. Lewis Carroll's Caterpillar had nothing on women.



aj.. Women cannot use a map without turning the map to
correspond to the direction that they are heading.

ak.. All women are overweight by definition; don't agree with
them about it. Women always have 5 pounds to lose, but don't bring this
up unless they really have 5 pounds to gain.



al.. If it is not Valentines day and you see a man in a flower
shop, you can probably start up a conversation by asking, 'What did you
do?'



am.. Only women understand the reason for 'guest towels' and
the 'good china'.



an.. Women want equal rights, but you rarely hear them
clamoring to be let into the draft to cover the responsibilities that
go with those rights. All women seek equality with men until it comes
to sharing the closet, taking out the trash, and picking up the check.



ao.. If a man ticks off a woman she will often respond by
getting a fuzzy toilet cover which warms their rear, but makes it
impossible for the lid to stay up thus it constantly gets peed on by
the guys. (which gets them in more trouble)



ap.. Women never check to see if the lid is up. They seem to
prefer taking a flying butt leap towards the bowl and then chewing men
out because they 'left the seat up' instead of taking two seconds and
lowering it themselves.



aq.. Women can get out of speeding tickets by pouting. This
will get men arrested.



ar.. Women don't really care about a sense of humor in a guy
despite claims to the contrary. You don't see women trampling over Tom
Cruise to get to Gilbert Gottfried, do you?



as.. Women fake orgasm because men fake foreplay.



at.. It's okay for women to dance with each other and not be gay.
You don't see straight men dancing together.



au.. Women will spend hours dressing up to go out, and then
they'll go out and spend more time checking out other women. Men can
never catch women checking out other men; women will always catch men
checking out other women.



av.. The most embarrassing thing for women is to find another
woman wearing the same dress at a formal party. You don't hear men say,
'Oh-my-GOD, there's another man wearing a black tux, get me out of here!'

A 147 break in snooker represents the pinacle of achievement. It is the closest thing to perfection that exists in any sport. In any cue sport, there are no competitors or external factors to worry about. You are limited only by your own technique and your ability to control your circumstances.

Snooker requires

Concentration

Talent

and Determination

Oh, well funny clip here. The ones of you that take offense also probably haven't realised that the 'Da Vinci Code' is filed in Borders under FICTION.

Someone complain that my links take too long to download so here is a modem friendly site.

Brings me back to the 3 years I spent in the Halls of Residence, where our rooms weren't much bigger than this. However, notice that these apartments have no windows, minimal ventilation and in most of them, they have a fridge and cooking equipment in the unit.

Dance

Every once in a while, I stumble upon something which is a little bit more than just entertaining. The concept of dance is such that it reaches deep into our conciousness and speaks to our humanity. It reminds us of our past and the bonds that we all share.

Panties

On the 'which celebrity do you look like' game, I normally get either Rowan Atkinson or David Copperfield.

I like the new direction Copperfield is going, not taking himself too seriously and forgetting about the grandiose stunts.

Spoiler Alert: This clip is an extension of the Balducci levitation (which I can do btw) and the only reason I am posting it is that Criss Angel is close to my least favorite magician. (David Blaine definitely gets the prize)

For some reason, I could not stop staring at the animated GIF file. Must be the 'car-crash' effect.

btwI can pretty much guarantee that no woman is ever going to purchase one of these

Soccer

There is something to be said about football. It is one of the most accessible games in the world, being easy to pick up, understand and exciting to watch with a rare combination of individual skill and teamwork required to succeed. You can watch games for sublime artists like Zidane or the magic of Brazil.

Unfortunately, there are people who obviously have too little in their lives, such that they take the game to the extreme and beyond. Football brings out the worst in some 'fans' due to the anonymity of the crowd mentality. What is worse, is that under the guise of being supporters, precious nothing has been done to curb the continuing violence and hatred that is continually perpetuated in the name of football.

Some people may find this photo funny, personally I think its one of the most depressing photos I have seen.

This was the slang term we used for the defensive players.

Having said that, the last guy (No 1) takes it to obscene extremes

Whitney

I used to have a drinking buddy who cursed me everytime a Whitney Houston song would come on the radio/tv. It seems I always would end up muttering

"Greatest voice of my generation, lost to drugs"

To any of you who would beg to differ, I present to you;

Exhibit A

tetris

I think of myself as a pretty wicked tetris player (level 9 and jammed top score) but I have never seen anything like this. The time stamp implies at it is real, but if it is......well that would be just....

unreal i guess.

Waiters

One of the rules that I live by is "A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person."

I guess some people get a powertrip from being able to exercise dominance over someone even if its only for a couple of hours. These are mostly people who have never held a position of power in their lives or just small people who can only give their life meaning by demeaning others.

Personaly, I just prefer my food without DNA.

Long time visitors to my blog will remember the monstrosity that I posted that was Celine Dion dressed up as MJ and singing 'Bad'.

There are certain songs which must never be remade; Hotel California, Stairway to Heaven and SURELY this classic as sung by the rock goddess that is. . Faye Wong. Incidently if you watch the video clip to the end you will realise

1. She cant even sing the hard bits
2. The guitarist is a better performer than she is
3. She has the showmanship of a coffee table

having said that she is nice to look at :)

Massage

Another brilliant idea by the powers that be. Correct me if I am wrong but isnt the concept of a 'drive-in' so that you dont actually have to get out of your car.

But the story gets a lot less exciting when you hear its only equipped with massage chairs. I had a million 'parking in your car' jokes on-hand already.

yeah yeah i know its cheesy. park off

So in Googles' neverending quest for world domination (Skynet who?), they have come up with an Idol type competition with online voting.

I cant believe that my favorites in the lip-sync Grand Final, the Back Dorm boys are getting beat by two skinny ass spazzo girls who dont even know the lyrics!

Sweden

Note the number of Scandinavian countries on the top of this list. Most of them actively encourage the moderation of relgious views especially for their politicians.

And while we are on the topic of Swedes, dont feel bad the next time you are flying cattle class.

Americans, they worry about their growing (pun intended) obesity and yet even their "sports" are unhealthy.

karaoke

Ok, to set up this clip, I guess in Korea they have booths where you can go in and have yourself recorded while you sing along to a clip. I have seen similar booths here but they are not nearly as plush and without the video recording.

btw click pause and let the video load beforehand to get a smooth, non jerky video stream.

Goths

An article that says that goths are cool, as written by a former goth. Yeah, sure, so much for independent reporting.

Incidently, if anyone is thinking of picking up this habit, let me just remind you that Goths do not age very well and fat Goths look especially stupid. Proof

Potato

I swear I am not conciously selecting only Japanese material for this blog. Its just that most of the weird stuff that I find on the net happens to be from there.

Anyways, I guess you could call this a follow up to the T-shirt folding technique, looking for ways to make something as boring as peeling a potato more interesting.

On a side note, you may need to watch this with the sound off coz this video features some of the most annoying sound effects and voiceovers that I have heard in a long time.

Japan Girls and Hip-Hop goes togeather like fresh toast and a brick. Add to that a completely surreal video, and the result is either pure genius or complete rubbish.

Personally, I'm leaning towards option No 2.

Simpsons

I know this has been all over the net but I finally got a decent link to it. Being a total nerd, I do notice that there is one error in the live version. The car that Marge is driving is Right Hand Drive (its an English skit) instead of LHD like in the cartoon.

Yes i have no life.

Jail

You know I actually think this would make him pretty popular in Prison.

On a side note, if he does have "unrelenting priapism" I would think that he would be able to find a better job than be a burglar. A career in Porn for a start.

There is still a country called Translvania?

Colors

I always tell ppl that because I am straight, I only can digest about 4-5 colors. I have no idea what color is mauve or taupe and honestly I dont think I need to. I dress in primary colors and thats that.

On that note...


A guy gets shipwrecked. When he wakes up, he's on a beach. The sand is dark red. He can't believe it. The sky is dark red. He walks around a bit and sees there is dark red grass, dark red birds and dark red fruit on the dark red trees. He's shocked when he finds that his skin is starting to turn dark red too.

7-11

Ive always found it difficult to get fresh veggies (salads etc) to eat on the go. 7-11 used to do prepackaged salads about a year ago but that didnt last very long (i was probably the only person eating them). My body is a temple

The closest that I have seen to a fast food salad is the garden salad in KFC but even that is served with 1000 island dressing (defeats the purpose no?). I guess ppl here still havent come around to eating greens as its own dish.

I doubt that this concept will reach the 7-11's over here

Cougar

An article about the often heard saying that a woman is at her sexual peak at age 40 while for a man its at age 18.

Ive always felt that this was just something made up by some 40yr old women so that they could get lucky with teenagers.

VW

Never been a big fan of the marque but these ads are pretty kewl

Twins

Whats up with the twins on American Idol this season.

First there were the pratty Brittenum twins who kept dissing everybody they came in contact with (they were eventually removed from AI due to both of them having criminal records on fraud charges)

Next there were the Donohue supermodel twins, who couldnt really sing but got through to the last 24 anyways (she got kicked out first round). Incidentily, these two have posed for some semi racy photos in Maxim. Check it out (semi not safe for work)

Lastly, this is not widely known but Bucky Covington is actually a twin as well. I present below, undeniable proof

I fancy the odds on Lisa Tucker and Kellie Pickler but having said that, Ace is a shoo in to the final two.

Hero

Interesting this word "hero". So often misused and indiscriminately assigned.

And yet for the most case, the majority of people deserving of this accolade will forever live in obscurity.

anesthesiologists

I dont see what the frigging problem over here is. Heaven forbid he have to feel any pain or be remotely concious while they give him the injection, unlike the 17 yr old girl he raped and murdered.

Next time any problem like this crops up, they should give me a call. I'll gladly push the button, or flip the switch. And i will bring along my nightstick just in case there is a blackout to make sure the job gets done.

And who are these idiots in the photo protesting the execution of a murderer convicted in their own court of law. Id like to see how compassionate and forgiving they are if they were related to the victim.

"Revenge is at the heart of Justice"

Bigfoot

So they supposedly discovered a bigfoot. I personally am sure they dont exist coz if they did, some chinaman would have caught him live, cut him up for his organs and be cooking his toenails in a soup by now.

Also, granted my knowledge of DNA is limited to whatever I'm told on CSI but how exactly do you do a DNA test on a blob of plaster?

Contacts

Contact lens users please take note. Not to be an alarmist but 3 patients in Singapore have already had to undergo cornea transplants to save their vision.

Fries

A word to the wise for any veggies or health freaks regarding the Mcdonalds French Fries since it seems there are traces of wheat and dairy products in them. I can understand how some ppl may be alergic to these items and need to fully consider what they are eating.

My point is this, if you are like Nadia Sugich and you dont eat ANY animal products, what exactly are you doing in a Mcdonalds in the first place?


Incidently the French Fries are the most fattening thing on the menu (600+ cal per serving)

Load this in the background and watch it over your lunch break.

I dont see what the big deal is, smokers are a dying breed anyways.

Wild

There is a quote I like to use by a Professor of Anthropology, I forget which one, that we are only as civilized as the last time something like this happens.

I find it amazing that no one has made better efforts to contact these people. Not to "save" them or to modernise them but rather as a way of understanding ourselves. There is the opportunity here of a virtual time machine, to look back 100,000years in time and discover how we were and who we are.

Then again, maybe not. I think the most depressing thing that we would learn from these living fossils is despite all our technology, how little we have changed from these warring tribes.

And in a stunning display of non-conformity and avant-garde imagination, the latest collection from these ground breaking designers will feature clothes which are actually. . . *gasp* ........practical.

Her bf Adrian runs a community portal for Bangsar residents, and also has a forum for R/C toys.

I cant believe that there are people that still havent heard the song or watched the fat kid video.

The song is by a Romanian group called O-zone and its called Dragostea Din Tei. I must have heard this song at least 10 times on Sunday night. Over here if you want the lyrics (both original and in English)

Gearheads

Another request. You can get all the Top Gear Episodes over on Google Video. My personal favorite guy is Hammond but I guess the appeal of the show is that the show is hosted by three guys who are obviously car geeks who love their job and love cars. Kind of an ultimate male fantasy I guess.

If I had to pick my favorite episode, it has to be this one. Clarksons driving instructor for the Nurburgring track tells him she is going to beat his best time while driving a Van. A regular, unmodified, Ford Transit. An amazing display of technique and skill over power and performance. Btw she is averaging about 130km/h

Requests

First off a couple of requests, a whopping one half of my loyal visitors (thats u chun) asked if I could find anything from Triumph the Insult Dog. This is the Bon Jovi one (which has a pretty good ending) but his best stuff still has to be the Star Wars heckling and the Michael Jackson Trial interviews.

Books

Another candidate for the 'they think of everything on the Internet' award. Bed Books.

Incidently, if any of you are having insomnia problems, the theory is to make sure that you only use your bed for sleeping. All other activities (eg reading, watching TV, err...others) should be done outside the bed. Then whenever you reach your bed your mind will automatically associate that action with sleep and begin to shutdown rather than keep itself alert for additional activities.

Ambergris

I usually ask the girl Im going out with NOT to wear perfume. It sounds like a strange request but I prefer the natural scent of a woman to any bottled scents. (No Sick thoughts here!)

Plus perfume makes me sneeze.

For the next woman I go out with, I will have extra ammo for my cause. Apart from the fact that perfume has cat urine in it, it also incorporates a very expensive substance called Ambergris. And its expensive because of its rarity, I mean how easily can you expect to come across whale puke?

Isuzu

I cant even remember the last time I saw an Isuzu car on the streets but if I had seen this commercial as a kid I could be driving one now.

if you dont giggle at least once, your probably insane.

thumbthing

I cant believe that they actually wrote up an FAQ for this

Rhythm

Well I guess its obvious from this site that I have no musical ability at all. You tap your keyboard in time with the song lyrics and its supposed to be able to guess the song for you.

Sand

Depending on how long you are prepared to invest in this game, this could be one of the coolest things you have ever seen on the internet. The closest that I can explain it is that it is an online zen garden.

The four streams falling down represent different elements. You can add different components which you select from the bottom part of the screen. I havent figured it out yet but the interesting bits happen when you mix the components to create new items.

yes i am a nerd

popNlock

Its nice that in this video, they tell you exactly how long the whole clip is. That way you will know exactly how much of your life you have wasted if you watch the thing to the end.

Clooney

Yeah I think celebrities dont take themselves seriously at all

Useful

One of the more useful sites that I have found while surfing the net. Its pretty good on the ego as well.

Needs sound.

Hangovers

Personally I think this is rubbish. When getting up after a long night of drinking, it takes me about 20mins just to drag myself out from underneath the pillow. How is it possible for me to injure myself in the first 3 minutes if I have spent that entire time hiding from sunlight cursing the light of day?

I have had a few scary, giddy moments on the potty though.

Cannibal

Got your attention didnt it?

Im sure you will remember this case from 4 years ago where the victim advertised himself on a cannibal website (yes there is a website for cannabilism) where in the first meeting they shared a part of the victim (guess which part) and in the second meeting, we was killed (consentually) and slowly consumed by Meiwes.

They are now going to re-try the guy as he only got 8 1/2 years from the earlier judgement since he was only convicted of a charge lesser than murder. Incidently he has not been tried for cannabilism since there is actually no law against it.

Idiot

Some deadbeat father gets stuck while playing hide and seek with his kids.

What sorta dad sets an example for his kids that the washing machine is an acceptable place for them to hide?

Booze

17.2 units of alchol PER DAY!. Now thats hardcore.

In other news, research has found that binge drinking is bad for you, and drinking 2000 calories a day can make you fat. Updates at 8pm

Magnets

Favoured by most of the guys who play golf thinking its going to improve their aches. Im shocked, SHOCKED I SAY, to find out that it really does nothing apart from making your wallet lighter by 70bucks (thats how much mine cost!)

On a side note, the industry is worth about a billion dollars a year which coincidently is as much as the 'salad in a bag' concept. So whats your excuse for not coming up with the next big thing?

Mannequin

I remember watching a movie by the same name when I was about 13 and I do remember they guy in the show doing exactly the same thing. And he woke up in the store window as well. So in actualy fact there is actually nothing wrong with his behaviour.

yeah right

Capitals

For Azril, (who knows the population of every country in the world) who always used to kick as in the Alphabet game. Remember? the one where you have a series of lists (eg capitals, countries, cars etc) someone comes up with a letter and you have to fill in the list and you dont get points if someone else has the same answer.

anyone?

Talent

I dont care what any of you think, this man is a musical genius. Its a pretty small size video file (so you may need to expand it) but he has basically attached horns of different notes to various parts of his body.

Excellent integration of showmanship, music and visual comedy.

18

Try out these tricks and let me know if any of them work. Personally they all look stupid to me but the ear scratch thing is interesting.

puters

oh im SO getting one of these if it does come out.

Best

Not sure If I have posted this video file before, its been around a fair bit. The story is that some choice contestants from German Idol were selected to peform during halftime at some Bundeslega game. My favorite is the guy in the white shirt with the glasses and the girl second from left.

12mb file.
