Just for the fun.. this is doing the rounds at the moment...
Rugby - MEN only!
Paul Wood - Warrington rugby player, proved how manly the rugby world is. One minute into the second half of his game against Leeds, he got a kick to the testicle and continued to play. After loosing the game 26-18, he went onto the sports conference before he went on to hospital which ended up removing his testicle. Very light hearted Woods said afterwards "Just coming out the hospital to go home... Seriously feel like I've left something???"
Project FaceBook
Project X made a hit movie about kids throwing a house party, but now in real life kids are taking more and more risks. Some kids in the US broke into their neighbours house whilst they were on holidays, and threw a party. When the neighbours came back and saw facebook photos of the party in their house, did they report as the kids had apparently gone back afterwards to clean up! Not smart, but at least tidy!
Housework = Divorce
Studies in Norway have been conducted showing that men who help out around the household have a 50 % higher chance of divorcing then those who left it to the wives. I wonder if the people who did this research were all men?!
A modern way to sell a house.
One man in the Netherlands has tried to sell his villa in Winterswijk, on the boarder of Germany, to no avail. The recession has hit the Netherlands too, even with a low unemployment rate, with few home buyers around the past 2 years. So he changed his mind, and looked at it in a different option. Now you can buy a raffle ticket for E50 for his home which is worth 950,000euros. A new trick that might just pay off!
Black trouble..
Kelly Osbourne has come under criticism this week, having posted a photo of her nails as she embarked on a $250k black diamond manicure. Many tweeters responded saying it could help feed 3rd world countries, but she replied 'it was a once in a lifetime experience'. I would be surprised if this is remembered in 6months time!
Germany -bearly there.
Berlin is known for its Bear status, but this season is back to football and the bear just doesn't cut it. So Micaela Schaefer is doing her part to raise the temperature and being bare to support Germany in the football. Do guys need another reason to watch?

We all have those moments we can't figure out something on our screen that has to be done by the keyboard, and we search, and hit the help button.. But to no avail. Well there is an offical Keyboard for Blondes which might cause a chuckle in the office, or the home for those who have consistently asked the same thing over and over each time a problem arises and never learns!

Make your own sports car
One Chinese man loves the €1m Lamborghini Reventon so much, that knowing he would never be able to buy one of his own, he made one. For around €9,000, Wang Jian was able to build his own copy of the supercar. Is this inspiring enough for everyone else in these recession times?
Fast Payment!
France are going fast mobile. As in, 30 of the McDonalds stores are setting up a pilot scheme for people to be able to pay for their McDonalds via paypal, the online payment option. This is meant to cut waiting times as there will be a dedicated line for online purchase and payments in each store!
Hoover Bike!
Have you seen this? Now we will be moving around in car sized hoover bikes if the American Helicopter Society have anything to do with it!
My little pony - Adult style
My Little Pony was relaunched a few years ago only to be claiming the adults as their bulk audience, so much, that men and women alike, dress up in their favourite pony and attend the newly created convention. Not for nay-sayers, this is something that has created so much passion, there are videos of 'Brony's' watching the finale episode of Season 2 and how their emotions get the better of them. Hmm.

What a funny thing for that crazy cat lady gadget geek! Also available in other animals, for the animal shelter you may be working for, or for the home that has a million animals (incl. kids!)
Holy iPad..
With the iPad becoming part of business and education, has anyone noticed that some iPriests? It's not for all of them, as the bishops are holding firm to their books and not wanting to appear to dismiss the old paper and ink scriptures yet.
Bleaching?
If you are needing some advice on 'down there' freshness, there is a new product on the market which bleaches your intimate area? Not sure why, nor why this lady looked so sad?!
Look into the glass......
A recent study out, has found that people under the influence of alcohol or other substances, are more influential in hypnosis. So now you know why you can find some hypnosis shows in bars, as the subjects are more susceptible! OR equally a great reason to have a glass of wine before sitting down for your sleeping hypnosis app!
Pay it forward.
Already living together and not sure what to ask for from the wedding guests? Well Obama's PR people have thought up of a way to support American's homeland. Simply, get your guests to donate to his campaign for this years presidential candidacy. Perfect timing after he recently came forward with his support for gay marriage, he is hoping for more donations!

Prehistoric plants to the kids bedroom!
One way to to bring some life into the kids bedroom these days, is to plant something into their toys. Ok no need to go around destroying their toys, so just buy a backless dinosaur ready made for what every plant you think might survive a child's room. Cactus anyone?
God speaks to us, during nap time.
Some of us feel like we haven't accomplished much when standing next to some people in life, but now an 11 year old in Maryland, USA, has been ordained as a minister in his family's independent Pentecostal church. God spoke to him in a dream and told him to read Psalm 23, leading him to believe he should walk in the footsteps of his pastoral parents also.

First night as bride for sale
One woman needed to raise funds for her wedding, and after some consideration, herself and her husband to be, agreed to sell of the first night of their honeymoon to the highest bidder who would win the sexual fantasy of honeymoon sex. Unfortunately, it appears the German couple only raised 366euros for this. Obviously they didn't market it right!
Something old, something new.....
Uggs are now designing for Weddings, footwear. Comfortable footwear. I am a litte perplexed at the idedea of someone splashing out a lot of money for her big day only to have a pair of these Ugg's under the dress. Ranging from $70 to $225 (only on sale in the US), the capsule collection - called I Do! - includes three styles; Sparkles I Do!, a classic UGG covered in white iridescent sequins; Bailey I Do!, a pearly suede pair complete with gobstopper-sized diamanté button; and Fluff Flip Flop I Do!, a sheepskin slipper that bears a striking resemblance to a bow-topped poodle. I just hope thee are the something new, and not borrowed!
When wristbands are too much!
21year old David Hurban, body piercing artist, enjoys designing his body with piercings and tattoos. In the world of body piercing, nothing is too much or strange. He knew of people having implanted metal parts into the body and decided to go with magnets, so he can enjoy his music on the go, without the need for buying the body gear that goes with the iPod nano when he heads down to the gym.
Will it catch on? ... to any other magnetic surfaces and how is airport security going to deal with this?!

When words ARE too much
When you just cannot read between lines, or the lines themselves, the Wordless Web browser comes to your rescue. It takes out all the words and just leaves the images... HANGOVER AWESOME!
NOT the parents guide book.
WE all grew up thinking that our parents knew nothing, and didn't understand us. Well this website My Parent is an Idiot shows you amazing pictures that people have posted up of the most outrageous things parents have done to their children, or let them get away with!
Don't ask your ex to help!
One very upset recently dumped woman, Anna Mackowiak, 34, had only days before been dumped by Marek Olszewski, 45, when he turned up at her surgery with a toothache. She performed her dentist duties, giving him a generous dosage of anesthetic to perform her job, only she went above and beyond her duties.
She strapped his jaw with bandages and only when he went home and checked the mirror could he see the full extent of her work. She had pulled out all his teeth. His girlfriend then proceeded to dump him as she couldn't date a toothless man, and now he is bringing her to court, where she can be sentenced for 3 years in jail.
Flat packed Camera?
Ikea are reinventing the disposable camera. Before, it was the physical roll you had to get developed, but now in 2012, Ikea have developed the disposable USB connected cardboard camera, to bring consumers together showing their Ikea furnished homes. Not to be sold, but rather given away at selected stores around the globe, this really is a unique 'little extra' from Ikea! It runs on 2 AA batteries, I wonder if they are included?!
Homeless with Soap business?
Dennis Anderson is no ordinary homeless man. Having hit a low, splitting with girlfriend, moving out, family problems and no job, he travelled towards the West cost and tried to live on a week by week basis, until he met his future girlfriend who is a designer for Etsy, one of my favourites! Inspired he started up a soap company, ranging in different styles, scents and prices, and now is part of the entrepreneurs that this world will learn from!
Sniff It.
Dating is difficult, between being set up with your parents friends daughter/son, dating in the dark scenarios, or the blind date that actually never turns up. Sigh.
Well now you can find your next date by sniffing them out. All the guys have to do, is sleep in a clean t-shirt for 3 nights and place it in a bag. The women sniff the bags to see which one intrigues them and then they get to sniff the guy in real life on their date.
'You may now sniff the bride'?

Safe Sex for Seniors
Check this video out. It is to raise awareness of STD amongst senior citizens in the state of Florida. Not just for Spring Break for teenagers, it appears STD's has risen 71% in the senior group alone! Age doesn't always come with wisdom!
AWESOME and scary!!
You know you are on to a good thing, when there is a backlog for what you desire. This ingenious idea is based in Spain, and I am sure they are having to ship this delight all around the world currently. Check it out here . What a great way to serve up a coffee with a treat!
Elderly on the run..
An 83-year-old Dutch woman, Astrid J, has escaped jail in Belgium, after being sentenced for swindling several wealthy older men out of money. She did this by posing as a rich widow in contact advertisements and upon starting a relationship with a wealthy widower, she commenced to get money out of her victims.
She was sentenced to a suspended jail sentence of one year and ordered to repay €122,000 to one of her victims, and her daughter Joan, 42, was also given a suspended jail term of one year.

Cats won't jog.
One very odd piece of news - fact a 19 year old man went for a jog with his cat on a leash. As the cat was refusing to jog, the jogger got fed up and secured the leash to a rock whilst he went to finish his jog. The man in question got ticketed on suspicion of 'domestic animal cruel treatment'. For some reason, I think any that if you get ticketed for cruelty should not have their animal returned.
Some cats like to walk, but I don't know any that like to jog!

Homeless is the new hotspot
SXSW is the location of new ways and ideas, and one company are using the social economic downfall to their advantage. You will find homeless people wandering around wearing t-shirts saying “I am a 4G hotspot” given by a company to provide wifi for visitors, where the user can pay the homeless person for use of wifi, and the money will go directly to the homeless person. A new version of the homeless person selling the Big Issue, now they provide a 4G hotspot. It is an interesting way for a homeless person to become an entrepreneur.

Designer poo poo
Toilet manufacturer Jianguo Gao, has decided to recycle his unused toilets and turn them into school desks.
Yes thats right, if you turn around from the conventional way, and use the watertank part as a desk, hey presto, you can get reading/learning. Hmm, I don't think it will catch on, as its tough enough getting the kids onto the potty at first, they might get the wrong idea whilst learning!

Drive by robbery
John Christophe Champion (22) was arrested for stealing a 12-pack of beer and a roll of electrical tape from a convenience store in Florida, after authorities tracked him down when his wheelchair got stuck in sand behind the store.
He had robbed the store with a pocket knife, and told the clerk that authorities wouldn't arrest a person with disabilities. He has been since arrested and waiting on a court date...

Kissing Bacon?!
Being away form your other half, can be difficult. Even with text messages and skype, its tough. You miss the sentiment and caring touch. Well here comes, Kissenger: The Make-Out Robot which for some reason looks like a half pig/half cow. Hooking it up to your computer, your other half can start kissing sending the moving parts to move on your side. This is confusing to write, as its confusing to believe. Who wants to get electrocuted in the midst of passion with your other half? Or can you not wait until you see the love of your life?!
Not the 'sand of the free'.
California is well known for its beaches, the freedom of lifestyle and healthy lifestyle that most have in the sunshine on the beach. Well not for long. All ball games, and frisbee, will be forbidden between May - September, fetching you a $100 fine should you be caught. Not just this, but your children could also set you back $100 should the lifeguards carry a measuring tape with them and find that they have dug a hole more than 18inch! The holes can cause injury on the beach for holiday makers, and lifeguards alike. So make sure you play fair, actually just not at all!
Divorced in a weekend..
With Mexico providing the 2 year wedding, now the Netherlands are in the news, having found a niche in the market. The clean and relaxed divorce. Jim Halfens heard how long the process takes, months, and then trying to get in front of a judge once all the paper work has been sorted out, could run past a year, with a lot of lawyers fees, and heart ache. So now, through a careful screening process, to make sure you are psychologically prepared and aware of the process, you go to a hotel, and talk it out there with the lawyers. By the time the weekend is over, you should have everything ready for the judge to view and sign. Are people making marriage and divorce easier now? What happened til Death do us Part?
Talking of music..
Certainly a passion for music in this child.. 8 year old Zoe plays heavy metal like every junior school child should be able to play!
Eat en route....
Dutch bus company, Connexion, are currently looking into the installation of vending machines into their buses, so as not just to serve commuters to get from A to B, but also with food on board. Confusing, as normally it is frowned upon eating anything on a bus, but apparently you cannot get on board with certain foods (ice cream) but can buy and eat whatever is sold in the vending machines.
I think the night buses will be very messy after a route of drunken people trying to get home!

All the Mode!
No better reason to share this, than just because who doesn't love a father who brings music into his children's lives whilst educating them in 80's bands! Check out this melody!
Not just for trolley dollies...
AirBaltic are looking into merchandising like no other airline, raising the stakes, so your feet will feel like they are flying. Not really sure if these are actually going to be sold, or just for their crew, but some of the pictures are amazing of the ideas they have come up with.
You can check out the full glory on their facebook page, see if Gucci, Balmain or Dior will choose these for their next runway show!
New tunes for the kids...
We all know and love Elmo, with his brand everywhere, with tickle me elmo, cuddly toys, books, clothes.. and now a great tune... If you have been listening to the radio in the last 6 months you will recognise the backing music, but Elmo makes it his own... LOVE IT! Play it loud, and proud!
All thumbs? No more...
This week, the world's largest video game controller, 30 times the size of a standard joypad, was unveiled as one of the wackier winners in the new Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition. The fully working device, which is an oversized replica of the pads on Nintendo's iconic NES console, was on display at Liverpool St Station, London.
If you wanted to use it like a standard handheld pad, you would need to be 51m (167ft) tall – the same height as London landmark Nelson’s Column.

Don't complain about the trip to school/college..
- Students make their way across a damaged suspension bridge to go to their school on the other side of Ciberang river in Lebak, Banten province, Indonesia, 19 Jan 2012. The bridge was badly damaged after it was hit by a flood.

"Developed by the Advanced Institute of Industrial Technology, the unique seat uses the sensors in the seat to collect data, and sends it to an external computer where software creates a roadmap of your butt.

Dining the modern way
We all love to see our friends. Spending time with the is another things. There are mobiles for texting, tweeting, calling, checking mails. Sometimes you can only grab their attention by texting them from across the table. Well there is a new game in town. Stacking. Whilst out dinning, everyone must place their mobile phones on top of each other in the centre of the table. The first person to reach for their phone has to pay the entire bill. If the bill comes and no one has, you all pay your share, but you will have had earned more in quality time with your friends in the mean time. A winner in my books.. I just hope I don't forget and reach out for it in Nobu!
Irish Hand Dancing!
Gotta love this. Now, we all know that hands are NOT meant to be using during traditional Irish Dancing, but this duo have released this . My eyes were a little distracted by the guys attire, but sure they look like they have been beaten down by the recession in Ireland. Watch, enjoy and try not to forward onto others!
Using the force - to listen to your music.
The minute you see these, you will have to buy them. How awesome are they? Made of synthetic hair, they come as a hair bun you glue/ attach onto your headphones and walk around feeling Leia-esque. And whilst looking groovy in these Galactic Princess Headphones, check out Wookipedia for the Star Wars slang.
You will need a bong for this one..
Musicians do a variety of work to try to promote their work, but really this is biting the brownie.
Snoop Dogg was a guest co-presenter for the Price is Right in the US, with Drew Carey, and raised $70,000 for a charity in the process. But you have to see it to believe it!

Now you can be as fast as a bullet.. by being the bullet.
There are some ways to be rememberd- a nice gravestone, an urn; but now the urn has modernised and some people are taking a fancy to new and wonderful things. And Holy Smoke are facilitating the gun ho fans, a chance to be turned into a bullet. For around $850 you can get your ashes turned into 250 shotshells for a shot gun or pistol, or 100 cartridges for the rifle. It is certainly unique, dreamt up by two Alabama game rangers, and one has a specific idea for his ashes to be turned into ammo, and fired at a turkey. Commenting "The last thing that turkey will see is me screaming at him at about 900 feet per second."
By the sounds of it, he didn't have a good Christmas one year, and is still blaming the turkey!

I am not taking the piss.
There are people out there who really do like their toilet to sparkle and shine. Some clean it daily, and apparently some install 72 THOUSAND Swarovski crystals. That's right folks, for $130,000 you can have this disco ball toilet in your home, and fear ever eating anything spicy again and ruining it's glimmer and shine!
The little printer..

Let this Light Save your (SABER?!?) day!
It is dark outside, it is gloomy. And walking to work is just depressing. Why not light you your way and put a smile on your face, along with everyone you pass with this Lightblade Umbrella. Available on a few websites out there, the cheapest I found so far was on IWOOT.com. Great present for that Star Wars lover in your life! Or just that something unique in your own life!
Musical pets.
You adore your cat, but not sure what to get them? They have everything, from beds, litter boxes, toys, lasers, food, bowels, cat nip.... in fact you think it's their home your lodging in? Well now try the DJ scratch turntable. As everyone wants to become a DJ, you can have your own DJ kitty.

Love it or not.
People around the M1 in England are being forced to like it it appears, as one lorry overturned last night after a collision with a motorcaravan, and spilt some of its 20 tonnes of the black stuff on the road.Fortunately most people were able to avoid the motorway, and marmite itself, with the thanks of twitter follows quoting: "'20 tonnes of Marmite spilled on M1 , suppose they've got to get rid of it somewhere"
Making Shakespeare Simple..
Where was the internet around when I was in school? Being invented I guess. Well now students can profit from so many opportunities to learn, get answers and help with their homework, and one such website is Cliff's notes. Not just a detailed description of the works of Shakespeare, but now also mini movies so you can get the gist and pick up what Shakespeare was saying but in a modern way. Check out the movies here.
Internet weight matters
Who knew the Internet was a female? Apparently someone has gone to the trouble of figuring out how much it weighs. It weighs about 50 grams, which is equivalent to a large strawberry, according to Vsause, a science show on YouTube. The figure is the weight of all the electrons in the electricity required to make the internet work (assuming 75-100 million servers supporting the internet).
Did it ever ask? Does it want to know? Well someone has gone to tell the world how much it weighs!

Marraige? Give it a go!

With a legally binding contract with details of what happens if you decide to break up, you can go in all happy and content, knowing what the outcome will be after 2 years. Should you choose to continue, renew your license and feel like you have accomplishment! Its amazing, now you can get a marriage license as long as your new iphone. Get them at the same time so you only have to remember one date!
Swallowed the news the wrong way.
What every girl wants, a guy who cooks, and who buys you jewellery. Unfortunately, Xaio Li, baked the $800 gold necklace into a muffin for his beloved girlfriend Wang Xue, but hadn't predicted her being hungry and downing the muffin without realizing it wasn't just gold flaked on top, but real gold throughout.
Li brought her to hospital revealing the truth on the way. Once there surgeons removed it during a brief endoscopic surgery. Well, at least it didn't go through the whole way, otherwise it might have been tainted and she might never have worn it again!

Read between the breasts.
Trying to seduce people back into reading these days with Twilight thrillers, P.S. I love you and such girlie novels, was the idea of the Outdoor Co-Ed Topless Pulp Fiction Appreciation Society last month.The idea of the group is for girls who want to take advantage of the legality of being topless in New York City reading."We are hoping to go from this being something taboo to something of social inconsequence.” Well New York, you are certainly onto something special!
Slap me silly..
Thailand's government have taken an odd step regarding cosmetic surgery. For those vain persons wanting larger breasts, instead they are given the natural option of 'breast slapping' which involves six ten-minute massages of kneading, massaging and hitting breasts as well as the buttocks. This was officially approved as a natural alternative to plastic surgery back in 2003. Some beauty shops have been performing this treatment for 20 years, claiming that it shifts the fat to the breasts naturally, and charge around $400 for the 6 treatments. No padding around here then?!
Remake of 300?
These are no underpaid actors, they are prisoners in Russia, part taking in a Toga party, before settling down to eat McDonalds. Russian prisons have been highlighted badly in the last month since the release of this photo. The governor of this prison was sacked after the photos appeared on the internet, again fueling the ideas of major corruptions in Russia, even in the prison system.
One such prisoner, Moskovsky Komsomolets, has been interviewed regarding these problems, and he painted a pretty relaxed picture. As he had money, he was allowed do more or less what he wanted as the prison's upkeep is funded by the prisoners. So the wealthier a prisoner, they get away with more, and in return the prison uses the money for its upkeep. From daily sushi, whiskey or champagne, day release - as long as you come back. Certainly not the idea us Westerns have of sentencing a convict.

This model has some balls!
In England they are trying to bring attention to those undiscussed issues. And Rhian has put her finger on one situation, or hands really. Beautiful Rhian, in a wind blown black and white video, she shows you how to touch yourself. Click here
I was a bit apprehensive in those touchy moments, but it is a great awareness for the manly men, the alpha men, who do not discuss the very thing that can kill them.
On another note, Movember is just around the corner. For those not aware, Movember (joining of the words 'moustache' and 'November') is an annual month-long event involving the growing of moustache's to raise money and awareness for men's health issues, like prostate cancer. You start the month clean shaven, and spend the month of November grooming up a moutsache in any shape you wish, being sponsored by friends to look more and more humourous for a good cause!

Coning... the wrong way up?
Urban Dictionary: the act of buying a ice cream cone through a drive-through and grabbing it by the ice cream itself, not the cone. Check it out here
Apparently, it was the new planking, but McDonalds are not happy with this new phenomenon, and are wising up: if someone requests an ice cream, they will refuse if you take it by the ice cream instead! Like here!

Gingers need not apply.
Cryos International, the largest sperm bank in the world has now updated its requirements and are now turning back any ginger donators. Cryos have reached their capacity of 70 litres of semen, approximately 14,000 donations. "They are too many redhead in relation to demand" Ole Schou, Cryos director continued, 'I do not think you chose a redhead unless the partner... has red hair'. The location with the highest demand is Ireland, even though Scotland has the highest proportion of ginger coloured hair. Prices starting at just €30 plus delivery of €420 Worldwide.
Wizard of Oz
Australia brought in new passport rules last Thursday allowing their citizens to check their gender as male, female or indeterminate without requiring surgery to prove change of sex. Transgendered or intersex people will just need a doctor's letter to get a new passport in what they chose as their real gender.
Li-Fi
In the near future, we could be using light-bulbs to transmit data which could replace Wi-Fi and Broadband. It is currently on the testing grounds, but is currently 10 times as fast as broadband! A must for gamers and people who watch tv/movies online! Something to keep our eye on!
When you have been preyed upon...
Just to make you all aware, everyone is possible prey for burglary, be it laptop from your house, or your own iphone. For those of us who work from home with our laptops, there is a software called Prey, available for Mac & PC, which sits quietly in the background of the machine, and is not activated until you report the loss or theft online. If the stolen computer goes online, it can report its status back to its original owner by the Prey site. It shows the face, GPS location and what they are doing on your computer. Once the information is given to the police, they should be able to go and check on this. Certainly something for some of us who forget to backup or have a lot of personal professional items on their laptop!
Seeking job that isn't horseshit.
Benedict Le Gauche, is no ordinary man. Firstly, that is not his real name. Secondly, his cv reads like one disgruntled person who gave up hope of ever finding a job. His 'previous employment' status reads: ‘boring and drudgerous and disheartening’ with duties including 'disastrous horseshit', 'stealing ginger biscuits' 'hiding' and 'pretending to be on the phone'.
His hope is that his brutally honest CV will stand out amongst the ever piling CV's on HR desks. His unique idea came to him after a 'patronizing' governmental job seekers course. He will stick to this format until he is broke and cannot get a job, but he has got one interview as a copywriter in the future, so hopefully that will work for him! Check it out here.

Stuck for a unique present?
Surplus perfume. For that 'special' person in your life. Made by humans. Literally. In feces there is a molecule called skatole which is the smell molecule, and the same that makes white flowers smell (junipers, jasmines etc) but just in different percentages. So in feces, its a powerful 30% scent, and in white flower its around 5%, so the scent is extracted through steam distillation process and diluted it down into the more pleasant smell.
Here is a unique gift that you can give to that person who has everything! Bet they don't have this!

From Beaver Holder to Jewish Hero.
Mel, famous for his anti - Semitic remarks against a police officer back in 2006, was not going to be touched even with a mile long poking stick by any one in the film industry. Then came Jodie Foster who casted him in his first film 'The Beaver', since that notorious day. Now, it appears, screen writer Joe Eszterhas has decided to take a publicity stunt in hiring Mel for the story of Jewish warrior Judah Maccabee, who led a revolt in the 2nd century BC, against the ancient Seleucid empire. Hanukkah, the popular Jewish Holiday, is a commemorative holiday for him. I am not sure how well this movie will be received by Jewish communities around the world!
Red Bull - lights your surf board
The Red Bull academy is everywhere doing a bit of everything. And the latest and greatest show they have pulled off, was in the Indonesian waters with their Red Bull Minor Threat team where their member Bruce came alight. Literally. With pyrotechnics attached to the back of his board, Bruce looked like her was surfing on magma. It is a spectacular sight to be seen. Check it out here.
Who wants to be an asylum seeker?
With all the variety of reality tv shows and quizzes, Dutch producers have decided to combine these along with political and cultural aspects and add a touch of PR on top, and what do you get? A quiz show featuring five failed asylum seekers competing for €4,000 to help them settle back into their home country. Dutch public television channel VPRO, last night broadcasted a quiz show in which the players have to answer questions about the Dutch monarchy, history, geography, Dutch celebrities and the language, with the winner taking home cash to help establish a new life. The runners up will get tulip bulbs and a bullet proof vest. Its to prove how integrated they really are into the Dutch community but yet are being forced to go back to their home countries. It really is the new way to bring politics back into the home, as these days people are more into the Big Brother tv show than Big Brother government.

China-land?
China is growing, and apparently the new move is to Iceland. Huang Nubo, China's 161st richest person in China, has expressed interest in buying 300sq km of North-Eastern Iceland to use for a golf resort, and eco-tourism worth a reported €68 million. Some say that there is a question as to whether he is interested in golf on ice, or, with the climate change, and ice melting quickly, if there might be some ice covered areas of oil covered in ice in the Arctic.
An apple a day, helps you run 13 miles?
Runkeeper application on the ipod lets you track where you run, and lays out the track in a nice red outline. Well Joseph Tame decided to make a tribute to Steve Jobs by doing a healthy 13 mile run in the shape of the infamous apple. The bite of the apple is actually the Imperial Palace hence it is not quite the correct shape, but I am sure Steve won't complain! I am sure the doctor won't be needing to see you tomorrow!
Maggie's latest adventure will not be a best seller.
Amazon's future addition will be 'Maggie Goes on a Diet' by Paul Kramer, released October 2011. For ages 6 and up, it address the issue of 14 year old Maggie who is transformed from overweight and insecure to 'a normal sized girl who becomes the school soccer star. Through time, exercise and hard work, Maggie becomes more and more confident and develops a positive self image.' From what I am reading, it appears that 6 year olds reading this who might feel slightly isolated will believe all their problems might be solved if they loose weight. Not the greatest positive self image book I will be buying for my niece.
Do you see what I see? Well now, yes.
Terminator is just a movie, now the Eyeborg is making its own movies. Rob Spence, lost his right eye more than 20 years ago, and now has created project EyeBorg where he uses a camera in the prosthetic eye which has a wireless transmitter on a small circuit board. His initial idea was making a documentary about 'surveillance. I thought I would become a sort of super hero ... fighting for justice against surveillance'. But the world isn't interested in the big brother, but more about the little brother who carries the camera.
Postcards cris-crossing the earth.
I love getting post in (especially when it is not a bill) and especially a postcard from somewhere in the world. But with recession, a lot of people are not taking as many holidays so the chances of getting these are few and far between. Well now you can log on to Post Crossing. To be part of this interactive community you simply register your address and are then given another persons' address to whom you send a postcard. And thus the circle goes, someone else who logged on with their address, has been given your address and has sent you a post card. You put your account name on the card so when you postcard arrives at its final destination, the person can log on, to register that they have received it. With currently more than 245,000 registered online, plenty of people are being cheered up by postcards each morning!
Wedding announcement like no other.
Juliana Park and Benjamin Lee got engaged recently, and to announce their great news, they decided to make it with a lovely picture of them enjoying a picnic in the fields. Bar the fact a zombie was invited (to be killed by the macho pair). With this unique engagement announcement put on their website, it has gone zombie viral. Its certainly one unique way of everyone finding out you are engaged, especially millions of people around the world that don't know you!
Say something nice... the New York way.
Improv Everywhere is a New York City-based prank collective that causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places (much like the originators of Flash mobbing). Their latest feat is 'say something nice' in the Big Apple as part of the Guggenheim Museum exhibition 'stillspotting nyc' . Simply placing a wooden stand with megaphone attached, they left a sign saying 'say something nice' and walked away. Those who walked past it, inspected it, checked it out for comical purposes, but some really grasped the opportunity saying 'have a great day' to 'you with the blue umbrella, I really like it' to a complete stranger. It brings some forms of positive waves to the city that never sleeps.

Borats' "Mankini" is in, but Cassette tape is out in the new OED!
The Oxford English Dictionary is keeping itself hip and happening (or am I just old here?). Consequently, to add you must subtract at some stage, and the latest subtraction includes cassette tape. Remember those items that hold your favourite music you recorded from the radio back in the 80's? The Love Tapes? Yep, some young editor has decided that its too old and outdated word, that enough is enough. Instead, we get "sexting" and "woot" and "mankini" to the ever expanding book of words.
It is a sad day when words that we grew up with are being eliminated from the OED so the next generation miss out on our own terminology. Time is running faster than we expected!

President Sheen. A WINNER?
Arnold Schwarzenegger had a lot of movie fans to vote him in as the Governator of California, but Ireland has a different idea. They want another film star for their president. Charlie Sheen obviously is a little busy, but his father played in the West Wing so he must have some experience? Next step Facebook and create a fan page to vote him in as a candidate for the next Irish Presidential election, he might feel pressure to come and save Ireland. Martin though has since come out and declined the offer of support of more than 5,000 Facebook for the Irish Presidential election in 2011. He is actually eligible as his mother was born in Tipperary, Ireland and he has Irish citizenship. What would it have been like if he did run and win? Could we get Charlie with him as his PR representative?
Buying a house, including a Russian man who lives in the cellar.
Ok, he is 800 years old, but still you have to take him into consideration for the big buy worth €500,000. The five bedroomed house is located on the Baltic Sea island of Gotland, built in 1750 on the foundations of a Russian Presbyterian Church, the skeleton lies in the cellar with a glass panel covering the consecrated soil grave.
Thats something that will keep the kids out of the cellar at their sleep overs!

PETA Enemy number 1 (and 2)
Here is Ashely, or the other one, Olsen. The cute girls from the 80's tv program and since fashionistas and designers. And this lady is wearing $40k on her in that picture. Jeans, Jean shirt, sunglasses, crocodile bag. Yep, its the bag. Its the green Crocodile bag that the Olsen twins have designed for the label The Row. This bag is being sold for $39k and currently has 2 pre orders. Crocodiles hide. This bag is more expensive than most peoples cars. And here is one of those Olsen girls with it slung around her shoulder walking the streets!
Exotic creatures by dyeing.
This beautiful Panda, is actually a Chow Chow dog that has its fur dyed black and white, and cut into shape to look like a Panda. Funny no? Well the Japanese has gone ahead with a new craze and now are dyeing their pets fur. I just hope this craze doesn't catch on with other pets, or spread to any other continent.
Tom Hanks.. the gentleman actor. Hell - his name spells T.Hanks!
What a professional. He has been acting for 30years and has had many successes and a few flops, but everyone remembers Splash, Sleepless in Seattle, Philidelphia, Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan.. the list goes on. Well you can add, unfortunately, Larry Crowne to this list but for a different reason. You will not be remembering him for his role, the bad script, the poor chemistry on film, but instead for Tom, the man on the gas station. Well at least thats what happened for a couple in California, they went up to speak to him when he enquired what they thought of his last film, which they honestly replied 'wasn't that good'. Yes people went to that gentleman and told them his last movie sucked, even though he has been reported to say the movie was a 'personal mission'.
Being Mr. T.Hanks, he pulled out his wallet and removed $25 to refund their movie ticket costs then finishing with 'We'll do a better job next time'.
What a professional, good guy! Very rare in this day and age of Hollywood.

Donate whilst you snooze.
Yep, keep hitting that snooze button every morning at 06h30. Those extra 20mins you are going to take? Well you could donate 25cents for each time you hit that snooze button. This application on iTunes was created as a great and easy way to arrange donation to nonprofit organisations (currently the choice of the LetGive Umbrella.. maybe it might change in the future so you can choose your own). The application will ask you twice a month if you would like to donate your snooze 'hits', which of course you can decline. It's the swear box of snoozing and tardiness. I think it's a good all round idea. If you snooze, you donate, if you wake up, you are on time - if not early! Win/Win.
Easier way to read... a new font for dyslexics
Dutch designer, Christian Boer, who is dyslexic himself, has created a special dyslexic -friendly font, which has won a 2011 Future Minds Award for this Dyslexia typeface. Dyslexics usually invert similar looking letters, for example 'd' and 'p', so instead this new font has a bold bottom to each letter to 'ground them'. A study by Twente University, Holland, found that dyslexics made fewer reading errors with this font. Something to make life a little easier for any young dyslexics out there.
Looking sexy in sport
And no I don't mean the perfect sports bra, but the Lingerie Basketball League. Yes. Lingerie, with 4 teams (all based in the LA area, surprisingly) LA Beauties, LA Divas, LA Glam and LA Starlets there are games every Friday night July - September. So instead of hitting the bars to check out the talent whilst watching sports on the bar tv, just get yourself down to a Supergym or Venice beach and watch gorgeous women, in sexy lingerie ( including garters, and strappy stockings!).
Not sure how national this section of the sport will get, but feminists won't be jumping for joy with this sport.

Grandma can kick your ass!
Standing at just 4'11", 98 year old Sensei Keiko Fukuda Japanese-born American has become the 15th person in history to be awarded the tenth dan black belt in judo. Practising for 76 years, three times a week, she finally made it. As the last surviving student of judo's founder, Kano Jiguro, she said "All my life this has been my dream". From 1942, she was stuck at the fifth dan black belt for thirty years due to a regulation prohibiting women from being promoted beyond that level, when in 1972 she accomplished the sixth dan black belt and demolished the sexist rules of the sport.
The wonderful lady has lived by her motto: "Be gentle, kind and beautiful, yet firm and strong, both mentally and physically."
Your new hobby..
Urban Beekeeping is the new thing. It's an old thing but made hip with the urban kids. (Am sounding old now). With the urbanization continuing, bees are having difficulty creating their sweet sweet honey in a controlled environment. So, people are getting creative. People have spaces of land where they can grow vegetables, but for the rest of us living in apartments we are not so fortunate; now with access to the rooftop, you can create your own bee sanctuary. It's a way to save money, start bartering with growers, and before you know it, you are saving money and a part of the world!
Need some new interior ideas?
Want to keep that holiday feeling? Or experience the first class in an economy seat? Well here is your chance. Buy a used Lufthansa seat! Put it in your sitting room to enjoy the comforts of first class, tv, kitchen near by, and a flat bed (ok your own bed in your bedroom) but you will never be able to go back to economy. Just wonder if you get the security booklet or the inflatable jacket that goes with it?
Swedish champagne?
The Swedes want a bit more bubbles in their drinking sessions? So Camitz have done so with vodka. Simple, but yet my mouth is not drooling to try this odd concoction. Drinking vodka straight to socialize? Nope. Not here I won't.. Champagne still gives me the fizz but 36% less proof so I am not on the floor half way through the bottle!
There is proof of God. Well in modal logic.
Faith is something that is from within. Yet when atheists ask 'How do you know?' you can spit this back at them to go figure. Created by Kurt Gödel in 1941.
Seeing Eye Horses (?)
Yes thats right. What you see before your eyes (hardy har) is true. The Fallabella horse is mainly used in the US for the visually impaired, as it comes with a difference from the seeing eye dogs:
Having said this, don't forget the differences between in having horses verses dogs:
- Allergies to Dogs. Never thought about that did you? Well it is possible and so this is the number one factor!
- Age. Horses tend to live at least three times as long as dogs do, as it can be very upsetting to loose your dog and have to bond with another.
- Physicality. Some persons may have physical disabilities also, so the little horse can provide more support physically than the average dog.
- Sleeping habits. Some persons will prefer not to have an animal that stays indoors at night, so the horses are very used to sleeping outside.
Having said this, don't forget the differences between in having horses verses dogs:
- Location. You do need to be in a rural area so they can feed easily and also have some freedom to roam.
- Feeding. As above, its not expensive to feed with the Dog food! But horses prefer to graze naturally.
- Vet. You need a vet who knows about the horse! Its not your typical visit to the vet with your home dog!
