This post is titled Good Quotes for Your MSN by author SoulJah.

Some of these are good If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor. If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes? Should crematoriums give discounts for burn victims? Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice?" What do you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant? Why do they lock gas station bathrooms? Are they afraid someone will clean them? If the police arrest a mime, does he still have the right to remain silent? Do they sterilize the needles for lethal injections? Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets? If a pit bull humps your leg you'd better fake an orgasm. Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. Live every day as if it were your last. Eventually you'll be right. The easiest way to find something that's lost is to buy a replacement. How come when you open a can of evaporated milk it's still there? Why is there only one Monopolies commission? If a thing is worth doing, it would have been done already. Guns don't kill people - Husbands who come home early kill people. Why do you press harder on a remote control when you know the battery is dead? If it's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be? Why does your gynecologist leave the room when you get undressed? Why is it called Alcoholics Anonymous when the first thing you do is stand up and say, 'My name is Bob, and I am an alcoholic?' Why does mineral water that 'has trickled through mountains for centuries' have a 'use by' date? Is French kissing in France just called kissing? Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin? Why you don't ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"? Why "abbreviated" is such a long word? Why the man who invests all your money is called a broker? If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress? Why they are called apartments when they are all stuck together? Why they call the airport "the terminal" if flying is so safe? Why is a package transported in a car called shipment, but on a ship it's called cargo? Why isn't phonetics spelled the way it sounds? Why Didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes? Why is dyslexia so hard to spell? Why is Lisp spelled with an "S"?

This post is titled Kick Ass Pictures Counters U.S. Military's Offer of Free Boob Jobs. by author Anonymous.

LOS ANGELES - To protest the U.S. Military’s recent offer of free breast implants for its female enlistees, Kick Ass Pictures has fired back with an offer of its own: $1,000 worth of natural beauty enhancements to any woman who declines the offer.

According to a story in the July 26 issue of New Yorker magazine, the U.S. Military is offering free cosmetic surgery to all active duty members of the Armed Forces. According to the article, “anyone in a uniform� is eligible for numerous cosmetic procedures performed by military surgeons, one of the most popular being breast augmentation.

Kick Ass Pictures, a company that has “No Fake Breasts� as a guarantee on the front of every movie it releases, is countering with an offer of its own.

The company will give any honorably discharged female veteran whose breasts are still natural a full day at the beauty spa of her choice, plus $500 in high-end lingerie, as a reward for resisting the temptations of cosmetic surgery

Don't you just love Porn companies that stand against the exploitation of Women ? And Kick Ass Pictures' maxim for not hiring women with fake breasts is so goddamn honourable, isn't it ? Only in America ? Yes, only in America.

This post is titled Priest and nun caught having sex by author SoulJah.

A Catholic priest and nun have been caught having sex in a car at an airport car park in Malawi. The 43-year-old priest and 26-year-old nun were caught "in the act" in a tinted saloon car parked at Lilongwe International Airport. The pair were brought before magistrates where they received a suspended six-month jail sentence with hard labour. "It was a bizarre spectacle, the public alerted airport police after noticing the car shaking in a funny way," police spokesman Kelvin Maigwa told the BBC. In a packed and giggling court-room, both the priest and the nun pleaded guilty to the charge of indecent behaviour in a public place and disorderly conduct. The nun told the magistrate she regretted her brief lapse in judgement, while the priest said that as a man of God he accepted Satan had tempted him. Magistrate Arthur Mtalimanja accepted their pleas in mitigation, but admonished them saying that as servants of God they were the last to be expected to misbehave in public. "I therefore sentence you to six months imprisonment with hard labour, but I will suspend it... because you have shown remorse," he said. If the couple repeat the offence in the next 18 months they will go to jail, the magistrate said.

This post is titled Ok this has to stop now! WILLIAM HUNG IS NOT DEAD! by author SoulJah.

American Idol's William Hung Found Dead of Heroin Overdose Las Vegas, NV - Kitschy American Idol Star William Hung, famous for his botching of Ricky Martin's "She Bangs," was found dead yesterday, apparently of an intentional heroin overdose. The announcement of his death sent shockwaves to the tens of people who still found him funny. Ironically, Mr. Hung was found by a VH1 camera crew sent to begin filing "William Hung: Behind the 'Music.'" Viacom immediately decided to rename the special: "William Hung: fifteen minutes till death." Friends of Mr. Hung say he had become despondent in recent days. "I don't know, it's just so sad," said Ming Tse, one of Hung's former classmates at Stanford, "I heard him the other day on Snotbubble's Morning Madhouse; he kept trying to make William say things like 'me so horny' and 'hey sailor' while playing the sound of a bomb falling. I just know William was hurting inside when Snotbubble got him to say, 'you wanna some-e egg foo young-e.' It was so sad. I just think he was tired of the commercialization of it all." Other friends, who had lost contact with him in recent weeks, feared he was becoming too "Hollywood." "I'm not surprised he was on heroin," said Hung's engineering cohort Melvin Samples, "I mean just two months ago we were out at our usual corner table at Smitty's, and William actually went and talked to some girls. The next thing I know he's doing shots with some hipster guys; they were calling him 'Long Duck Dong' and making him say 'au-to-mo-bile.' From what I hear, it's not a long leap from that to heroin addiction." Stanford's hippy population immediately misconstrued the situation and adopted Hung's death as a pet cause. "He was a victim of the corporate greed-machine, just like Kurt [Cobain] and Eddie [Vedder, who is actually still alive]," said one dreadlocked mourner outside the engineering department at Stanford University, where a makeshift memorial had been set up, "he just wanted to sing, and Fox decided to turn him into this joke, man, this fucking joke. They just ate him up and spit him out. Fucking Bill O'Reily. I think it's because he was against the war." The last comment is apparently in reference to the fact that Hung once answered "no, thank you" when asked whether he was "for or against the war in Iraq." The Las Vegas police released part of his suicide note. It read, "I have no reason of living . . . my art which is my importance to the best everybody laugh to . . . I make end here . . . goodbye world of cruel." Although Hung's immediate family disowned him seconds after his appearance on American Idol, it is believed he has an aunt in Toledo, Ohio who will take care of funeral arrangements.

THE ABOVE STORY IS NOT TRUE! I REPEAT! NOT TRUE!

William Hung is alive WILLIAM Hung is alive and kicking and still scheduled to come to Singapore for a concert. In fact, he will also be filming a TV special for SPH MediaWorks, which will be shown on Channel U and Channel i. His Father, Henry Hung, issued a statement recently to quell Internet rumours that his son had died. He referred to an article last week in the satirical website, Broken Newz, which apparently started the rumours. The story said the American Idol reject was found dead, "apparently of an intentional heroin overdose". Hung said: "Anybody can say anything they want to say. I heard about this last week. Well, he just performed in Atlanta a few days after the article." His statement, relayed from Los Angeles where he and his son live, was released to the media here by Keith Sim, the organiser of Hung's Sept 12 concert in Singapore. Sim said he had received about 10 calls from fans here and concert promoters in Hong Kong and Taiwan about the rumours. He said Hung is still scheduled to sing at the Esplanade. The younger Hung, 21, will be in China before heading to Hong Kong to film a comedy, My Crazy Mother, with actress Nancy Sit. He might also hold a concert in Malaysia. The civil engineering student will also film a TV special exclusively for SPH MediaWorks, the TV station said. Filming will start next month in China and he will also be filming in Hong Kong and in Singapore. There will be clips of him dancing and singing and he will also chat about his debut movie in the two-part, half hour special, which will be shown on Channels U and i in mid-September. William Hung's concert, presented by Novena Furnishing is at the Esplanade on Sept 12 at 8pm. Tickets at S$45, S$58, S$68 and S$78 (RM99 to RM171) are available from Sistic (02-6348-555). The concert also features local personalities Kumar, Leong, Abigail, Selena Tan, Hossan Leong, Abigal Chay and Irene Ang. Part of the ticket proceeds will go to the Kidney Dialysis Foundation. - The Straits Times Singapore/Asia News Network

This post is titled Another Paris Hilton sex tape with Nicole Lenz by author SoulJah.

Wednesday, 19 Nov 2003 Hotel heiress Paris Hilton's sex tape shame refuses to go away - a second video, in which she appears naked with a model pal, has reportedly surfaced. Producers of American scandal show Celebrity Justice claim to have unearthed information about a new sex film featuring a naked Hilton and Playboy playmate Nicole Lenz playing with sex toys. The film, allegedly shot after Hilton's 22nd birthday party at the Bellagio in Las Vegas in February, also reportedly features Scary Movie 3 star Simon Rex - who appears to be the cameraman. Meanwhile, Hilton is looking to go public so she can formally apologize to her family for embarrassing them by appearing in a sex tape. She is allegedly in negotiations to feature in a TV interview in America, in which she plans to talk candidly about her recent sex tape controversy and apologize for shaming her high-ranking family. The socialite hit the headlines earlier this month when footage of her having sex with ex-boyfriend Rick Solomon leaked onto Internet sites. Source : IMDB

This post is titled Fat female thieves on the run by author SoulJah.

JOHANNESBURG: South African police are hunting a gang of large women thieves who raid stores, threatening staff with knives, and steal mostly small size clothing, a spokesman says. "When they enter the store they do so in a large group and they intimidate the staff," Inspector Michael Read said from the port city of Durban where police believe they have arrested most of the gang of 10 to 15 women. "They're quite large people." Read dismissed media reports that some of the gang had been part of the "A-Team", a similar group of plus-size women criminals who operated in Durban a couple of years ago before they too were rounded up by police. He said many of the latest gang had been incriminated after being caught on in-store closed circuit TV. He said they stole a range of merchandise from Durban department stores, including perfume and clothes, and appeared to be stealing for resale by street hawkers rather than for personal use. "Generally it's the smaller sizes than what they would wear themselves," he said.

This post is titled Cartoon fans start Spongebob church by author SoulJah.

Fans of the hit nautical cartoon Spongebob Squarepants have set up their own church. The cartoon features a kitchen sponge who lives with his friends in a place called Bikini Bottom in the Pacific Ocean. The cartoon is designed for children under four but has already won star fans like Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Kelly Osbourne and Mike Myers. Now it has its own officially registered church, in the US, which teaches its own spiritual way of life. Members of the Church of Spongebob meet up for services everywhere from New York and California to Texas. The 700-strong membership have taken an official conversion sacrament to pledge their loyalty to the church. There is also an intense study course for the church based on the Spongebob scriptures. The church's manifesto says it promotes "simple things like having fun and using your imagination". Recently 5000 people applied to watch the cartoon, which is broadcast on Nickelodeon and being turned into a movie, to work out why it is so funny. Nickelodeon spokesperson Reeta Bhatiani said: "Spongebob's appeal is extraordinary."

This post is titled Spiders weave huge natural wonder in B.C. by author SoulJah.

PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. - A biology professor in northern British Columbia has spotted a clover field crawling with spiders. Brian Thair of the College of New Caledonia in Prince George said he saw a silky, white web stretching 60 acres across a field. "When you see horror movies with spider web festooned from this place to that place and so on, it comes nowhere near approaching what occurred in this field," Thair told CBC Radio's As It Happens. A typical barbwire fence on wood posts surrounded the field about six kilometres east of McBride in the Robson Valley. Thair said it looked like the whole area was covered with an opaque, white plastic grocery store bag. The thin, elastic coasting was not soft and fluffy like webs built by individual spiders. There were about two spiders per square centimetre laying the silk, which first appeared in early October. Thair said the web showed great tensile strength – enough to put a handful of coins on it without them falling through. Crazy ideas proposed to explain web There were "in the order of tens of millions of spiders running frantically back and forth," but they weren't interacting with each other. Since the spiders didn't seem to care if an occasional insect stumbled into their construction, Thair doesn't think it was built for trapping purposes. He suggests the spiders encountered an enormous quantity of high quality, nutritious prey to be able to accomplish this feat. But he's also heard other suggestions. "Some people have said, 'oh yes, well it's a trampoline for aliens,'" Thair joked. "Or maybe it was an effort collectively by these spiders to try and catch a sheep." Snowstorms and wind have blown away much of the web since he first spotted it the week of Oct. 27, but Thair intends to return to the field to see if the spiders have mated successfully.

This post is titled Making a smart move by author SoulJah.

SONY Ericsson looks like dialling up another winner with its P910 smartphone. It's based on the excellent P900 handset we reviewed in Gizmo last year but adds one very handy extra - a tiny keyboard on the back of the flip. That means it'll now work even better as a PDA and allow you to send email and browse the web without getting all fiddly with your fingers. The triple band phone has a larger than usual screen and now comes with four times the previous memory which is boosted from 16MB to 64MB - plus it comes with a 32MB Memory Stick Duo to expand your storage even further. It is quite possibly the ultimate business phone with plenty of software to get the job done, there's even a built-in satellite navigation programme that will show you the way to go home when connected up to a Bluetooth GPS receiver. Add to that a digital video and still camera, the ability to watch movie trailers and listen to music and you have a one stop entertainment shop in your top pocket. Out in September, expect to pay a couple of hundred pounds or more if you want to own one.

This post is titled Bigger breasts offered as perk to US soldiers by author SoulJah.

The United States Army has long lured recruits with the slogan "Be All You Can Be" but now soldiers and their families can receive plastic surgery, including breast enlargements, on taxpayers' money. The New Yorker magazine reports in its July 26 edition that members of all four branches of the US military can get face-lifts, breast enlargements, liposuction and nose jobs for free - something the military says helps surgeons practice their skills. "Anyone wearing a uniform is eligible," Dr Bob Lyons, chief of plastic surgery at the Brooke Army Medical Centre in San Antonio told the magazine, which said soldiers needed the approval of their commanding officers to get the time off. Between 2000 and 2003, military doctors performed 496 breast enlargements and 1,361liposuction surgeries on soldiers and their dependents, the magazine said. The magazine quoted an Army spokeswoman as saying, "the surgeons have to have someone to practice on". --Reuters

This post is titled J.LO-BUTT IMPLANTS EXPLODE! by author SoulJah.

Gal's dreams of a bodacious behind burst as doctors botch surgery A woman who yearned to have a bottom as luscious and rounded as the rear end of pop star Jennifer Lopez has found her dreams blasted to smithereens -- after her butt implants exploded! Candy Jones- Davies, 22, vows to sue the hospital where surgeons allegedly pumped the implants so full of curve-creating air, they both blew sky-high -- right on the operating table. And she says a surgical nurse has agreed to testify in her attempt to collect $17.5 million for medical expenses, lost future wages and emotional pain and suffering. "She told me they had just put in the implants, when one of the surgeons -- she's not sure which one, but she knows what he said -- started saying, 'Well, if she wants J.Lo's butt, let's give it to her.' And they pumped more air into the implants. Then another one said, 'Come on, that's nothing, let's go for it.' And they just kept pushing the limit until it all just exploded." Jones-Davies, a receptionist from Pretoria, South Africa, says that before the butt blast, she was on the verge of signing a modeling contract with the talent agency where she works. "They told me if I got butt implants to look like J.Lo, I could be one of their top girls," she says. Instead, Jones-Davies not only suffered second- and third-degree burns to both cheeks, but because of tissue loss her behind is even smaller and flatter than before the surgery. "I'm flat as a board," says Jones-Davies. "No one's going to sign a fashion model who looks like an 80-year-old man from the back. "I'm lucky to have a job at all -- I can't sit for more than 20 minutes at a time before my backside gets numb and I get stabbing pains down my legs. I'm just lucky they let me take a lot of breaks at work, or this ugly can would be getting me canned." A hospital spokeswoman says Davies-Jones' doctors were using a new inflatable implant that adjusts to a custom-fitted size. She says the hospital may file a defective- product complaint against the manufacturer. She adds that Jones-Davies "must also bear some responsibility" for the fanny fiasco. "She told our doctors at the initial consultation that she wanted to 'out-J.Lo J.Lo' -- her exact words, I'm told," says the spokeswoman. "And with all due respect, she had a long way to go to even begin to have the firm, well-rounded proportions of Miss Lopez. If our doctors failed, it was in trying too hard to serve their patient. "And," she adds, "our surgeons' quick response actually minimized the damage to Miss Jones-Davies, who would have no bottom at all if not for their knowledge and skill." Davies-Jones angrily rejects that claim. "I might have said something like that, but they are doctors, and they should know how far to go before it gets dangerous," she says. "And I didn't think they'd pump me up so much I'd pop like a balloon at a kid's birthday party." Published on: 04/13/2004

This post is titled US army food ... just add urine. by author Anonymous. The US military has devised a way to ensure its troops in battle need never go hungry - with dried food that can be rehydrated using dirty water or urine.

The meal comes in a pouch that filters out 99.9% of bacteria and most toxic chemicals, says New Scientist magazine. "The pouch - containing chicken and rice - relies on osmosis to filter the water or urine," the New Scientist Magazine reported.

The liquid passes through a membrane, thin sheets of a cellulose-based plastic with gaps just 0.5 nanometres wide. It means only clean water can reach the food, and the bacteria is left behind.

This post is titled New Era Dawns In Brunei by author SoulJah.

By Maya Salleh Bandar Seri Begawan - The landmark Titah by His Majesty the Sultan of Brunei on his 58th birthday continued to generate nationwide and worldwide acclaim as the monarch set the pace to an era of constitutional reforms in the Sultanate. As the people celebrated the Royal birthday amidst the sanguine news that they would soon have a greater role in running the country, reaction to it internationally was equally positive. The milestone announcement understandably ushered exciting response among a cross-section of the community, besides euphoria for a hopeful future. His Majesty stated that the Brunei parliament will be reconvened for the first time in decades as part of political reforms to "engage the citizens". The Monarch also stated the decision to revitalise the parliament is to "give priority to widening the opportunities to the public to engage and contribute to national progress". International electronic and print media lost no time in picking up the story and making news-breaking headlines of it during the past 36 hours. Brunei - based diplomats were apparently busy in conveying the good news to their respective governments. But most of all it's the people of Brunei who reacted with tumultuous joy over the Sultan's announcement. The projected reforms certainly reflected the sincere wish of His Majesty to provide greater opportunity to the people to contribute towards the nation-building process, a political analyst surmised yesterday. It is indeed a genuine and gracious gesture by the monarch to let the people play a decisive role in the legislative process, he added. Referring to the 1959 Constitution in the Titah, His Majesty said it has been reviewed and a body will be formed for the long-term economic development plan. The announcements were regarded timely by the general public who anticipated further details to be revealed in the days ahead. Expressing his views to the Borneo Bulletin, the President of Brunei Solidarity National Party (PPKB), Dr Hj Hatta Hj Zainal Abidin, said the announcement is apt following the 20 years of Brunei's full independence. He expressed optimism and believed that the future elected members of the parliament will act as the voice of the masses. The announcements were seen as a special gift from His Majesty and, priceless to his subjects. He believed that the revitalisation of the parliament will enhance the political system of the government as he also noted that issues pertaining to the country's political issues can be healthily deliberated between the subjects and government. Bulletin also sought foreign reaction to the news. In response US Ambassador Mr. Gene B. Christy spoke of the meeting between His Majesty and President Bush during the 201h anniversary of the National Endowment for Democracy last November where President Bush observed that "there are... central principles common to every successful society in every culture. "Successful societies limit the power of the state and the power of the military so that government responds to the will of the people and not the will of the elite. Successful societies protect freedom with the consistent, impartial rule of law instead of selectively applying the law to punish political opponents. Successful societies allow room for healthy civic institutions, for political parties and labour unions and independent newspapers and broadcast media. "Successful societies guarantee religious liberty, the right to serve and honour God without fear of persecution. Successful societies privatise their economies and secure the rights of property. They prohibit and punish official corruption, and invest in the health and education of their people. They recognise the rights of women. And instead of directing hatred and resentment against others, successful societies appeal to the hopes of their own people." In this regard, the Ambassador lauded the Monarch's titah as Brunei has enjoyed several successful decades of peace, prosperity and stability. The steps His Majesty announced should, as they are implemented, bring about important changes and contribute to Brunei's continued social, economic and political success. Speaking in a telephone interview last night the author of "Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien and Britain: The Making of Brunei Darussalam", Dr. B. A. Hussainmiya, stated that His Majesty's announcement enhances Brunei's international standing further. It is a timely step to get people involved in public policy matters. The most important thing is that the proposed Legislation Council must ensure the continuity of Brunei's monarchic traditions and at the same time guarantee the security and happiness of the rakyat as it had been achieved during the last two decades or so. Dr Hussainmiya is also the author of the "The Brunei Constitution of 1959: An inside history". A private school teacher expressed deep respect for the announcement stating reforms to increase the entry levels of students into the government workforce should be reviewed in order to keep the students in schools, instead of dropping out earlier. This, he said, will help to educate the people so that the future generations will be in safe hands. A recent graduate of the Universiti Brunei Darussalam was also bubbling with excitement in the anticipation of further details relating to His Majesty's announcements citing that with the reforms and inclusion of the rakyat's voice, graduates will have wider opportunities to participate in the development of Brunei Darussalam. She also stated that the younger generations will be awoken to a new era and defer from heavy reliance on the government, succinctly quoting the famous remark by the late American president, President John F. Kennedy, "don't ask what the country can do for you but ask what you can do for the, country." -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin

About damn time too... I've been talking about these kinda reforms under my breath to my colleagues, and the point of this website initially was to promote self reliance and not relying solely on a couple of useless government officials.

Sultan, I salute you...

This post is titled Man Exposes Self During Airport Screening. by author Anonymous. MINNEAPOLIS - Daryl Miller didn't make it through airport security because he couldn't keep his pants on.

Airport police said a security screener was waving a metal-detecting wand over Miller's pants area on Friday when Miller pulled his shorts down to his ankles. He wasn't wearing any underwear.

Miller then said, "There, how do you like your job", thus ending the screening, according to the police report. He was charged with indecent exposure and released on $300 bail.

"We've never had anybody do that before," said airport police Lt. Matt Christenson. "But it's not abnormal for people to become frustrated with the screening process."

"This person exposed themself in a public area, a clear violation of the law, and we needed to take some action on that, otherwise everybody would be dropping their pants," Christenson said.

"There, how do you like your job". Bwahahaha that's just funny. I bet the guy didn't even need to fly anywhere, he just wanted to say the line. Someone probabaly dared him to do it, too. Hahahah

This post is titled Apples sold 100 million on iTunes. by author Anonymous. SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Apple Computer Inc. has sold 100 million songs on its iTunes Music Store, solidifying its position as the leading legal music download site, the maker of the iPod and Macintosh computer said on Monday.

Apple, which reports third-quarter financial results on Wednesday, has already sold more than 3 million iPods, which range in cost from $249 to $499, depending on their capacity.

Apple has been selling virtually every iPod it has made, but it has a hard time keeping up with demand for the iPod mini. Hitachi, which makes the 1-inch 4-gigabyte hard drives for the iPod mini, is boosting production of the drives by the end of the year.

The 100 millionth song, "Somersault (Dangermouse remix)" by Zero7, was purchased on Sunday by Kevin Britten, 20, of Hays, Kansas. In accordance with a promotion Apple announced recently, Britten will receive a 17-inch PowerBook notebook computer, a 40-gigabyte iPod and a gift certificate for 10,000 iTunes songs.

Jobs himself telephoned Britten to congratulate him, an Apple spokeswoman said.

Kevin Britten is a lucky bastard. And the song he bought was total shit, it sucks.

This post is titled Man Accused of Stealing Boy's Socks. by author Anonymous. COLUMBUS, Ohio - A man accused of grabbing a 9-year-old boy, carrying him behind a Kroger store and stealing his socks has been arrested on kidnapping and robbery charges.

Maurice C. Teague told officers he has more than 500 pairs of children's socks.

Investigating officers said they couldn't confirm the number but said they found "a lot" of socks at Teague's home, police spokeswoman Sherry Mercurio said on Tuesday.

Police said Teague, 28, accosted the boy Friday evening and dropped a piece of identification as he fled. They arrested him at his home on Sunday, Mercurio said. He's jailed on $75,000 bond.

"It's odd, obviously — someone going after little boys' socks," Detective Guy Patete said.

This post is titled She has no boobies ... but she will do nude scenes in the future ... Wheeee ! by author Anonymous. Keira's Bust Lust

KEIRA Knightley is one of the hottest names in Hollywood, but that has not prevented the British actress feeling a little inadequate up top.

Deflated ... Keira Knightley as Guinevere in King Arthur.The sexy Pirates of the Caribbean star, who has already graced dozens of magazine covers including Vanity Fair, has revealed she would like to have bigger breasts.

"I like the whole cleavage thing," the actress told Britain's Arena magazine.

...

Fans may well get an opportunity to judge Knightley's assets for themselves in the near future.

The actress said she would be happy to do a nude scene if a part called for it.

"I'm not just going to strip off all my clothing."

"But if the part calls for it and I don't think there's any way round it, then I'm absolutely fine", she said.

Hehe I knew I was right. Even she admitted it :P

Well it would not be the same jungle romp, island hopping, head popping of the original game (which I will unabashedly say, ran on this system :p) but it will be a rework of the game of sorts, with a new engine that will be able to run on the two platforms, and tentatively titled FarCry: Instincts.

All I can say is about damn time. The lush island settings in the PC version is just so mesmerizing that I find myself staring at water at some point or another just to admire the beauty. And it coming out to the other platforms will give other people a goddamn clue to what I have been gushing about.

This post is titled Obese Malaysian soldiers will be rewarded if they lose weight by author SoulJah.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - Malaysia's armed forces are fighting the battle of the bulge. Too many servicemen are overweight and death rates from diseases linked to obesity have soared compared to deaths on active duty, officers say, prompting a new campaign offering rewards for chubby soldiers who eat less and exercise more. Obese soldiers are being offered incentives to lose 10 kilograms in six months, a military spokesman said Wednesday. The rewards are yet to be determined, but it won't be extra meals, the spokesman said. Armed forces Chief Gen. Mohamad Zahidi Zainuddin said 20 per cent of 1,488 soldiers who died in the past decade succumbed to chronic weight-related problems such as high blood pressure, hypertension and diabetes. "This is a worrying trend, yet premature deaths from chronic diseases can be prevented with a healthy lifestyle," Zahidi was quoted as saying by the national news agency Bernama. Adding to the military's unhealthy lifestyle, more than half of the roughly 100,000 servicemen and women smoke cigarettes, Zahidi said. He has proposed that training facilities be made smoke-free zones, Bernama reported.

This post is titled For the love of God ... Stop using Internet Explorer !!! by author Anonymous. Woohoo !

And here's another great article, on how to replace Internet Explorer. Go read it. The Great Floating Head cmmands you. Read here. I would just suggest downloading Firefox 0.9.1 or Mozilla 1.7, but just read the damn article ( which basically just tells you to use Firefox 0.9.1 :P ).

OK I know some of you won't listen, but trust me on this, I've been hit by viruses enough times to realize that I'm not gonna get back all THE PRECIOUS PORN I've lost. My preciousesssss.... Errr... where was I ? Oh right, so go do it. Read the articles, stop using Internet Explorer and replace it with another browser ( preferably Firefox 0.9.1 ).

This post is titled RSS, RDF, XML, Atom, Feeds 101 by author SoulJah. Ok some of you have been asking me what in the world is RSS or what those or icon that you see everywhere on news sites and on some technology blogs. These my good readers, are called feeds, and depending on what file format they use, it can mean a lot of things. RSS stands for Rich Site Syndication, RDF stands for Resource Description Framework, Atom is the emerging new specification that aims to unify all those existing specifications out there. And all these are, of course, built upon XML.

Let's take a brief history rundown. From O'Reilly's XML.com:

A brief history But coders beware. The name "RSS" is an umbrella term for a format that spans several different versions of at least two different (but parallel) formats. The original RSS, version 0.90, was designed by Netscape as a format for building portals of headlines to mainstream news sites. It was deemed overly complex for its goals; a simpler version, 0.91, was proposed and subsequently dropped when Netscape lost interest in the portal-making business. But 0.91 was picked up by another vendor, UserLand Software, which intended to use it as the basis of its weblogging products and other web-based writing software. In the meantime, a third, non-commercial group split off and designed a new format based on what they perceived as the original guiding principles of RSS 0.90 (before it got simplified into 0.91). This format, which is based on RDF, is called RSS 1.0. But UserLand was not involved in designing this new format, and, as an advocate of simplifying 0.90, it was not happy when RSS 1.0 was announced. Instead of accepting RSS 1.0, UserLand continued to evolve the 0.9x branch, through versions 0.92, 0.93, 0.94, and finally 2.0. What a mess.

So what that means for you users? Just look for those or symbols, copy their link address, and just plug it into your newsreaders.

What's the purpose you say? Can you imagine where all your news posts, your blog entries, all updates on your site are delivered to the readers of your website? They will have the RSS or Atom feed links from a site in their newsreaders, and these newsreaders will then check for updates at the times you specify. These RSS feeds will be lightweight, most of the times under 50 kb, and these will link to the post itself. You can be a news troll (if you plug in good news sources like CNN and BBC or AP World News or Fark) and read and post news on your own site as it is just posted by the article author on the other side of the world.

Currently, I have news feeds from b0g, GetWired, Slashdot, The Register and of course FARK.

Ok let's talk newsreaders. I've been using Feedreaeder Alpha 2.6 Build 641 which can be found on http://www.feedreader.com. Of course, backed up my guarantee of "SoulJah will not recommend crappy software!", I assure you, even though it's in Alpha, (this thing is not even Beta yet and it's stable as... a stable thing) it runs pretty well in your systray and pops out the pop up box telling you if its latest rounds of update checks has found a new news item. Just limit your news feeds to under 30 or 20 and let the pop up box stay for as brief as possible to not make you go nuts. The reason I recommend Feedreader is because it's easy to set up (you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a decent reader, with some asking you to install the .Net network thing!), it's fast, it's easy to navigate through, with miniscule amount of options to set up, it reads Atom feeds! Which is like, super! *giggles* I've been looking for a good newsreader that reads Atom feeds (while still using an older Feedreader build that doesn't support Atom feeds) and none are good enough for my standards. But after I upgraded to this new build, it seems faster, and it can read ATOM! Woohoo!

Why the big fuss over Atom feeds here? Because that's the only kind of feed that Blogger offers, which I have been praying for it to happen all these times. I'm a devout Blogger and seeing that they offered a feature that I have been envying from Movable Type for oh so long makes my heart filled with joy!

Well there's all there is to it.

This post is titled Oh yeah ! I plum forgot ... by author Anonymous. I forgot to mention that before I went in to watch Spidey 2, a long line of Oriental looking Chicks/Girls in tudongs/headscarves came out of the Cineplex. Now it's just that this is very irregular since no female under the age of 40 wears a tudong/headscarves at the Mall, and the girls were pre-teen to 17 years old, according to my well tuned girl watching eyes. And they were at least 2 dozen of them, so one of my theories is that they are adopted children of some wealthy couple, if ya knoe what I mean.

Here's the thing, can anyone get the contact numbers for any of them ? Because, you know what, they were hot, well some of them were. And I just wanted the contact numbers for the hot ones. They were probably Koreans, Chinese and/or Japanese.

And yeah, thanx Souljah, for sending links for Emma Watson's panty shot. You just jolted this bit of info into my head. At 2 in the morning, too. :P btw I'm kinda sleepy so I'm probably just rambling on for no apparent freekin' reason. I was gonna put funlinks for this but screw that I'ma gonna go to bed.

This post is titled Yukos Gets Green Light to Sell Cannabis Vodka by author SoulJah.

By Alex Nicholson Staff Writer Yukos has won a court victory: It can legally sell Cannabis Vodka. The oil giant and its billionaire owners, who are fighting multibillion-dollar tax claims and tax and fraud charges, may rest a little easier after a Voronezh court threw out a lawsuit claiming they were promoting drug use by selling the vodka at one of their gas stations. The case started when three drug agents confiscated a bottle of the Czech-made vodka from Gas Station No. 26 in Voronezh on April 2, said Prokhor Merkushov, spokesman for Voronezhnefteprodukt, the Yukos subsidiary that owns the station. The Federal Anti-Drug Service then filed a complaint that Voronezhnefteprodukt had violated Article 6.13 of the Administrative Code, which forbids the promotion of drugs, and the law on advertising, which forbids the promotion of drinking and drugs. It said the court could just read the label of a bottle to see the merits of the case. Cannabis Vodka is sold in a clear glass bottle with a green marijuana leaf. Its label reads, "Cannabis vodka. An alcoholic drink prepared from hemp seed extract. Try this wonderful drink, but don't forget its extraordinary powers." The Central Voronezh Court ordered a psycholinguistic examination of the label and ruled Monday that the text promoted vodka sales rather than drug use. The court also found that Voronezhnefteprodukt had not violated the advertising law since it has not promoted the vodka in any way. Merkushov said Tuesday that his company has no plans to take the case further. He said, however, that he found it odd that the vodka, which is sold in stores across the country, was only confiscated from the one gas station. "This suggests that it was done for show," he said. A drug official, however, suggested that the case was not over. "They won today, but who knows what will happen tomorrow?" he said. Cannabis Vodka is made by the Czech-based L'OR, which also produces a range of absinthes. Robert Gross, L'OR's spokesman for Russia and English-speaking countries, said he was unaware of the Yukos case but not surprised by it. He insisted the drink is legal since it contains no delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the main chemical ingredient in marijuana. Rotor House, which has distributed Cannabis Vodka in Russia for two years, said it has won several cases filed by the anti-drug service this year. Drug officials took an interest three months ago when Rotor House starting selling the bottles in a gift box with shot glasses decorated with marijuana leaves, a senior company official said. The vodka has been banned in Kaliningrad. A court there conducted its own analysis of the label and ruled in April that it encourages drug use. Court rulings are not precedent-setting in Russia.
