Well, what can I say about my favourite browser? I’m excited about the release of the final version of Firefox 3. I’ve been using the beta version for ages now, and the release of Firefox 3 is set for June (exact date not known yet).
In conjunction with this highly anticipated event, a world record breaking attempt is being held on that day for the most number of downloads in a single 24 hour period. Sounds like fun! I’ll definitely be downloading it as soon as it’s released.

Do you have a colleague you’re dying to play a prank on? Try this! Encase your victim’s mouse and keyboard in Jell-O (or ‘agar-agar’ here in Singapore). Takes a bit of work, but like all good pranks, deliciously funny!

Twitter’s pagination and IM support will be up soon. How soon? No one knows. Will it be down again? Knowing their history, most likely!

What better way to be environmentally-friendly, as well as to rid your bowels of all that junk you’ve just had for lunch, than to poo in a reusable, portable toilet made out of cardboard?
The package comes with 10 bio-degradable poo bags and it’s perfect for outdoor activities like the Glastonbury Festival, picnics, camping and other activities where a toilet is …. well, the nearest bush.
I think it’s a very good idea, but I doubt clearing it and changing the poo bag will be much fun, even for someone like me with the experience of changing hundreds poo-sodden diapers. This product kind of reminds me of the old bucket toilets we used to have here in Singapore all those years ago.

And you thought Power 1 Walnut was a killer.
The city’s poison control center issued the warning Friday after receiving a hospital report that a 35-year-old man who ingested the hard, brown substance died earlier this month.
The product is sold under names including Piedra, Love Stone, Jamaican Stone, Black Stone and Chinese Rock at sex shops and neighborhood stores. It is banned by the Food and Drug Administration.
City health officials said the victim, whose identity was not released, was admitted to the hospital complaining of chest and abdominal pain. He died two days later.
Health officials said the hardened resin, made with venom from toads of the Bufo genus, contains chemicals that can disrupt heart rhythms.
The aphrodisiac was supposed to have been applied to the skin, not eaten, but authorities said even that use can be harmful.

Have you ever loved your birthday cake so much, or that it looked so good you just feel it’s a waste to eat it? Well, now you can have your cake and go to bed with it.
No, not an actual cake, but a cake made to look like a pillow.
May your dreams be sugary sweet!
Cake not your thing? Maybe a pizza pillow would be better.

Adobe AIR applications are all the rage these days. I’m a frequent user of Twhirl. Now Pizza Hut in the US, my favourite “dunno-what-to-eat-so-let’s-just-dial-2353535″ pizza restaurant, has introduced an online ordering desktop thingy called Pizza Hut Shortcut that’s powered by Adobe AIR. Very convenient, especially if you’re online most of the time.
I wonder if Pizza Hut in Singapore will introduce this. Ordering online certainly beats ordering over the phone, which is bitch during dinner time on weekends and public holidays. Surly, mumbling ‘minahs’ on the phone taking your orders more often than not will make you lose your patience (if not your appetite).

A publicity stunt, no doubt, but this 7-inch Panasonic Evolta battery-powered robot scaled 1,700ft of the Grand Canyon, completing the task in about 7 hours. Wow!

Any one of these insects and arachnids can cause severe pain, disease or death in their victims. My ‘favourite’ would be the bullet ant.
According to Wikipedia:
The pain caused by this insect’s sting is purported to be greater than that of any other Hymenopteran, and is ranked as the most painful according to the Schmidt Sting Pain Index. It is described as causing “waves of burning, throbbing, all-consuming pain that continues unabated for up to 24 hours”. In some indigenous communities, to enter manhood a boy has to endure being stung by the ant 5 times without screaming.
Wow! That must be a really ‘fun’ initiation process!
