Premature Baby Falls From Train And Survives


This is just miraculous. A woman in India, who was travelling on an overnight train, went to the loo and unexpectedly gave birth to a baby prematurely. Possibly the loss of blood during the birth overwhelmed her and she passed out and somehow the baby dropped through a hole in the toilet, which Indian trains are known to have (note to self: do not walk along Indian railway tracks!).

It’s not known how fast the train was going at the time, but train officials discovered the baby a couple of stations back after the train had made an emergency stop and a frantic search was conducted. The baby was found after nearly 2 hours.

Incredible how a baby that tiny can survive such a fall. The miracle of the human body.

Prince Harry In Afghanistan


Prince Harry - he’s out there on the frontlines with his fellow troops, and there have been reports that he’s seen some action during his stint with the British Army.

Not wrapped up in cotton wool, sitting comfortably in an air-conditioned command post, reading the latest tabloid news and sipping on a latte like some ‘officers’ have been known to do in this country. ;)

Would You Date A Stinky Orlando Bloom?


Orlando Bloom’s current girlfriend, model Miranda Kerr, thinks he’s too smelly and his ‘resistance’ to improve his personal hygiene is preventing their relationship from moving to the next level.

A source told the mag, "Miranda thinks Orlando is too smelly. Recently, she asked him if he could wash his clothes and perhaps shower more often. He’ll wear the same jeans for a week before he throws them in the washer. Same goes for his sweaters, T-shirts and socks."

So …. would you want to have a boyfriend who is as good-looking as Orlando Bloom but stinks like the HDB rubbish collection centre? How far would one go before calling it quits due to ‘inability to tolerate stinky underwear, unwashed since last week’?

For the guys, let’s say a Scarlett Johansson lookalike (or any woman of your fantasy) is dating you but you can smell her stinky vajayjay from a mile away, would you sleep with someone like her?

Silly Timewaster - Forumwarz

fat.jpg

I came across this site where you can live the life of being an internet troll or one of those idiotic flamers on internet forums (if you’re not one already, that is!). Funny shite!

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the Internet. In fact, Forumwarz is the Internet…in game form.

Magical dragon-faeries? Flaxen-hair’d elflords? Dank scary dungeons, reminiscent of Grandpa’s basement? Kids’ stuff. In Forumwarz, you can pwn trolls in ridiculous web forums…buy hacked warez from shady Russian websites…or upgrade your skills with breast implants, malt liquor and antidepressants.

Assume the role of one of three Internet personas: Camwhore, Troll or Emo Kid, each with their own special attacks, abilities and personalities.

Play in story mode and pwn your way through a dense world of mystery, intrigue and Internet idiocy. Or test your skillz against others in various player-versus-player challenges.

Kanye Hands Video

Not nearly as good as the original Daft Hands video which was shot in one continuous take. The Kanye version has been heavily edited. Still a cool video, though.

Hounded - The Life Of A Celebrity

Paparazzi magnet, Britney Spears surrounded by a pack of photographers as she leaves a Levi’s store. With suffocating attention like that, who can blame her for going a little ‘loco’.

Or maybe she’s doing all that on purpose. You know, stoking the fire and all that?

In any case, I wouldn’t want to trade my life for hers. Not for the money, not for the fame. No freakin’ way!

Yoda Baby

If this baby were green, he’d be Yoda. Just about the right size and wrinkly too! The facial expressions are priceless.

I Felt It Shake


Another earthquake struck Southern Sumatra today at 4.36pm. Big one too. Magnitude 6.75.

Funny thing is whenever I feel the aftershocks Michael Bubble’s ‘Sway’ will start playing in my head.

Mobile Desktop - Improv Everywhere Strikes Starbucks

Almost everyone’s surfing at Starbucks or any other coffee place these days with the availability of paid or free wi-fi. Imagine the look on the baristas’ faces when three guys bring in their computers (CRT displays, CPU and all). Using Windows 95, no less! Ewww! :D

Hairless Ape


I don’t know which is worse - a hairy man who looks like an ape or a hairless ape who looks like a primate version of the Incredible Hulk.
