Possibly the world’s only panty / knicker snipper

The Star reported on 30th August 2006 that the panties snipper has struck in Kuala Terengganu. Again.

A pervert who breaks into homes to snip pieces of panties off sleeping teenagers has struck again.

His latest victims are two teenagers from Kampung Tanjung Jaafar in Gong Badak, near here.

Following the first scare two weeks ago, villagers had warned their daughters to wear track pants or slacks over their panties when going to bed and also to cover their body with a thick blanket to deter the hantu gunting.

However, this did not work as the culprit could deftly cut through the thick protection to reach the panty and slice out a piece from the groin area.

Since Aug 11, several teenage girls from Gong Badak, Pengkalan Arang, Taman Baiduri and Taman Desa Bakti have become victims of the “panty snipper.”

From descriptions given by them, the culprit is short and has body odour.

Initially, the suspect was thought to be a ghoulish figure or someone who was getting snippets of panty for black magic. However, police suspect that he is just a perverted sex fiend.

Siti Aisha Rashid and Nurfiri Razali, both 15, told The Star that the culprit broke into their homes several days ago while they slept.

Siti said she was asleep in the hall when she sensed someone touching her thighs, causing her to wake up.

“He had cut my tracksuit and was trying to pull at my panty,” she said, adding that she kicked him on the chest and he fled through an open window.

“I could not catch a glimpse of his face as it was wrapped in a towel. But he had bad body odour,” Siti said, adding that her fisherman father was at sea when the incident occurred.

She said a window had been forced open, and that she later found her cell phone missing.

Nurfiri, who lives next door, said she was fast asleep and did not realise that someone had cut her long pants and sliced off a piece of her panty until she woke up.

“I must have been hypnotised,” she said, adding that she was shocked to find a hole in her thick blanket.

I mean, why the extreme fetish with cutting holes in teenage girls’ panties WHILE they are wearing them, then disappear?

I thought they’d do *more* than that since he had the opportunity, you know…

And why not simply take them panties that are hung out to dry? Or take those in the cupboard? The point is, anywhere, except *this*.

Why take the extreme risk?

One more thing, the “bad odour” could be intentional.

He could’ve gotten this idea from 70s TV show “Number 96” which has a character with a similar hobby.

A hypothetical question: what would he do he finds his intended victim(s) wearing crotchless panties instead?

Possibly the world’s first policewoman who’s also a hooker

A policewoman in Auckland, New Zealand was discovered to have moonlighted as a prostitute.

Name and rank withheld.

Her reason is the usual “getting out of financial difficulties.”

The financial rewards are of course the main attraction: she could receive more than RM1,000 on a good night.

Amazingly, she was allowed to keep her job and only ordered to receive counselling.

Possibly the world’s least known “day”: System administrator appreciation day

It falls on the last Friday of July every year. I think it’s safe to say that this has a long way to go before it’s even mentioned in Malaysian mainstream media.According to wikipedia.org:

System Administrator Appreciation Day, also known as Sysadmin Day or SAAD (as in Happy SAAD!), falls on the last Friday in July. It exists solely to show appreciation to sysadmins and people with other similar occupations.

The first official Sysadmin Day was celebrated on July 28th 2000. Typical observances of this holiday are to present gifts to your Sysadmin. Example of gifts: chocolate, beer, wine, electronic toys, videogames, cake & icecream.

Ted Kekatos has created System Administrator Appreciation Day, a time to honor the people whom neither rain, nor snow, nor bizarre “illegal operation” errors can keep from fixing your machine. Kekatos, a system administrator in Chicago, was inspired to create the special day by an HP ad he saw in a magazine. In the ad, a system administrator is presented with flowers and fruit-baskets from employees as thanks for installing new printers.

System Administrator Appreciation Day is now recognized internationally as an unofficial holiday. Many companies have Cake & Ice Cream parties for their entire IT staff.

This year System Administrator Appreciation Day took place at Friday, July 28th, 2006. Next year is Friday, July 27th, 2007.

Possibly the world’s most controversial tourist attraction

The Cardrona Bra Fence, New Zealand, where at its peak, hundreds of brassieres can be seen.

According to wikipedia.org:

The Bra Fence began during the Christmas holidays of 1999, when four women’s bras were attached to a wire fence alongside the road, possibly by revellers on their way home from the nearby Cardrona Hotel. News spread of the addition, which was left on the fence by the local landowners, and more bras began to appear. By the end of February there were some 60 bras, but at about this time they were all removed anonymously. This was reported in the local press, and the story gained widespread dissemination through the New Zealand media, leading to more bras appearing.

As of early 2006, the number of bras attached to the fence stood at close to 800.

Sadly, in April 2006, the local Council ordered the bras on the fence to be removed, as it is on council property.

The world’s most interesting place name

Fucking is a small town in Austria.

Imagine a tourist from that place coming to Malaysia, and the following conversation could transpire:

  • Malaysian: hello, where do you come from?
  • Austrian: hello, I come from Fucking, Austria.
  • Malaysian: [startled, gains composure] You sound like you are not so fond of your country.
  • Austrian: I don’t know what you’re talking about, I love my country very much.
  • Malaysian: [even more bewildered] Then why are you talking like that?
  • Austria: Talking like what? All Austrians like Fucking very much.
  • Malaysian: [red faced now] We like Fucking too, but we don’t talk about it openly.
  • Austria: What, you mean you’ve been there?
  • Malaysian: Of course, most of us have done it, but we’d rather keep quiet about it.
  • Austria: [his turn to be amazed] But I don’t think Malaysians like Fucking. It’s too cold for tropical people like you.
  • Malaysian: I’m sorry? I thought Fucking’s the same for everybody – it won’t feel cold at all, unless you’re a necrophiliac.
  • Austria: Malaysians are very strange people.

Also, it possibly holds the record for the most stolen place name in the world, and of course a most popular object to take your photo with.

What makes it even more interesting is, apparently there is *another* sign next to it, in Austrian/German language of course, which translates to: “please – not so fast”. That sign actually exhorts drivers to slow down due to the presence of a school across the road.

Other interesting place names:

On another note, I think most of us have seen this road name, supposedly taken somewhere in KL, but can anyone confirm whether it’s real or fake? If authentic, it surely is Malaysia’s most interesting place/road name.

Marijan Camber: the world’s greatest beer drinker

I first came across this news in 2004. I think it’s safe to say that he’s still da man.

Marijan Camber, 63 (if he’s still alive in 2006) averages about a crate of beer a day (24 x 385ml cans).

That’s about 9 litres. Heck, most people don’t even drink *one* litre of water a day!

Apparently he’s been at it for about 50 years, meaning he’s been drinking since the age of 10.

I estimated that had he been drinking all those in Malaysia, he could’ve broken another world record: most money spent on beer: about RM400,000. Good lord, that could buy a nice semi detached house in Sabah already.

The world’s sexiest car is not what you’d expect

According to Top Gear magazine’s September 2006 edition, a dumpy little Fiat has dumped the Lotuses, Lambos, Ferraris and what have you to the title.

In case you’ve never heard of the mag, Top Gear is Britain’s, and possibly the world’s top TV show on cars, and Top Gear mag is its accompanying hardcopy publication. The Top Gear TV show is estimated to enjoy a 350 million audience worldwide.

Of course sexiness, especially cars’ sexiness is a highly subjective matter. But that aside, I tend to agree:

The Fiat 500 looks like a cross between a Mini and a VW Beetle, and may I add: one of Malaysia’s own cars.

It topped a list of 100 sexiest cars because the mag claims anyone behind the wheel “looks sexually charged” — even a nun.

Bizzare choice?

Contributing editor James May defended the choice: “The Fiat 500 advertises nothing about its owner, except that it’s someone who doesn’t need to try.”

Rounding up the top ten:

2. Aston Martin DBS; 3. Maserati Quattroporte; 4. Chevrolet Camaro; 5. Citroen C6; 6. Lincoln Continental; 7. Bentley Continental S1 Fastback; 8. BMW M1; 9. Rolls-Royce Phantom; 10. Sally the Porsche 911 Carrera (from the animated film Cars).

Joseph Kittinger: The most number of world records broken in one attempt, by one man

Of all the testosterone-laden talk about “extreme jumping sports” like extreme free-fall, skydiving, bungee jumping or base jumping, one man stands tall among them all: Joseph Kittinger (1928 – ).

He did *the jump* on 16th August, 1960.

In one jump, he broke the following world records:

  • highest balloon ascent, up to 102,800 feet
  • highest parachute jump, obviously from the same height as above
  • longest free-fall length, 55,500 feet
  • longest free-fall, 5 minutes
  • fastest free-fall speed, at 614mph (0.9 mach), where he ALMOST broke the speed of sound; hence almost beating Chuck Yeager for the record
  • IMHO, he should be the FIRST man in space

The scariest of them all must be the parachute jump. Can you imagine jumping out at more than 100,000 feet? That’s 3 times higher than the highest a jet place will go or the peak of Mount Everest. A 3 storey jump will kill you. What more a 15 mile jump.

The point of no return:

What makes it even more remarkable is that less than a year earlier he was almost killed jumping from a much lower altitude, and that he started doing free-falls again barely a month after the near-fatal first jump.

After that jump, true to form, he set even more world records.

Wilt Chamberlain: The world’s greatest womanizer ever

It’s neither Casanova nor Don Juan, or any other lothario of the past.

That title belongs to the late Wilt Chamberlain, the legendary NBA basketball player, who claimed he slept with 20,000 women.

He died of heart attack at age 63 in 1999.

According to wikipedia.org:

Chamberlain wrote four books, including his second autobiography, A View from Above (1991), in which he controversially claimed to have had sex with almost 20,000 women — this would have meant, on average, having had sex with more than one new woman every day of his life since the age of 15. Because of that, many people doubt his specific number, though few question the fact of wild sexual behavior.

Unsurprisingly, he drew heavy criticism from many public figures, who accused him of fulfilling stereotypes about African Americans, and of behaving irresponsibly, especially given the AIDS crisis, which was well underway by the 1980s, when many of his sexcapades occurred.

Unruffled, Chamberlain defended himself, saying “I was just doing what was natural — chasing good-looking ladies, whoever they were and wherever they were available”. He also noted that he never tried to sleep with a woman who was married..

Chamberlain was a lifelong bachelor and fathered no known children. In spite of his extensive sexual escapades, there is no known record of his ever being the target of a paternity lawsuit.

Umberto Billo: The world’s greatest living casanova

According to Maxim magazine, he is an obscure (so obscure I can’t find his photo) hotel porter from Venice. But that did not stop him to conquer 8,000 women. Lesson: you don’t need to be rich or famous to be a world-class lothario.

“They crossed oceans to see me,” he boasts.

Unfortunately he has been fired after getting it on took precedence over his paid duties. “Sometimes he was too exhausted to carry the guests’ luggage,” says his ex-boss. Rightly so.

Actor Charlie Sheen, 40 is first loser, with “only” 5,000.

Assuming he’s telling the truth and he started going at it at the age of 10 (a little bit unreasonable, but what the heck), this would mean that he’s bedded a different woman about every 2 days.

No wonder he’s undergoing divorce from wife-actress Denise Richards. Among reasons cited: drug use, alcoholism, violence and especially his constant infidelity. He’s addicted to what appears to be underage porn and frequently visits prostitutes. Which brings one issue: if you have to pay them to sleep with you, doesn’t that invalidate your total number of conquests?

Nevertheless, even their totals combined, neither Mr Billo or Mr Sheen can touch the late Wilt Chamberlain’s mark: 20,000 women.

The full Top 10 list of “Living Sex Legends” follows:

10. Bill Wyman (Rolling Stones bassist) – 1,000
9. Earvin (Magic) Johnson (basketball star) – 1,000: got AIDS
8. Lemmy Kilmister (Motorhead frontman) – 1,200: how anybody can be attracted to this monstrosity is beyond me:


7. Jack Nicholson (actor) – 2,000
6. Ilie Nastase (tennis star) – 2,500
5. Engelbert Humperdinck (singer) – 3,000
4. Julio Iglesias (singer) – 3,000
3. Gene Simmons (Kiss frontman) – 4,600

The world’s first computer-controlled fire display

In April 2006, the Infernoptix was unleashed by its designers at Nao Engineering.

It’s a 96-inch ’screen’ that uses computer-controlled bursts of fire to create scrolling text, simple animations & freehand sketching in a 12 x 7 pixel array.

More hype: “There’s even a percussion mode, which takes advantage of the concussive nature of each burst to allow scripting and playback of complex rhythms. Custom software ties it all together to allow precise and convenient control of all screen functions.”

Its makers boasts that as far as “high-impact visual & audio entertainment” goes, this kicks the ass of big screen and flat panel TVs.

Instead of a pixel on a conventional display, one should imagine a 6 inch fireball, and that image jumps from the screen in licks & bursts of flame.

Main reasons why google chose this site: a mere 5 km away is a hydroelectric powerplant – so cheap power. And there’s a surplus of fibreoptic cables laid out around the area.

The hydro dam upstream’s supposed to stop any flooding – but to me, it’s situated on grounds that are too low and too near a river for comfort.

The world’s most expensive pacifier

As reported by tmz.com in June: the item belongs to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt whose parents are world famous actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

It is a one-of-a-kind 14 carat gold and diamond studded pacifier worth USD17,000. The binky is made of European white gold and 3 carats of white diamonds.

Hmm….a rather expensive pacifier indeed.

Wait a minute. Recently I also mentioned that baby Shiloh is also the first baby featured at Madame Tussauds, and therefore the world’s most famous infant.

I guess all of that would make her the world’s most pampered baby too.

However, the parents are not to be blamed – the pacifier was offered as a gift by itsmybinky.com, a company specialising in “innovative baby products” such as personalised pacifiers, as celebrity swag.

What made me more amazed was that on the company website, this super expensive pacifiers are actually made available to the general public!

Fuzzy Zoeller stole the show with a hole in one this week on the 170-yard 16th hole, an ace he never saw. Zoeller’s drive landed in the rough on the fringe of the green and to the left of the pin. Thinking he had a chip shot in front of him, Zoeller stepped off to the side and asked his caddie for his sandwich.

But after laying still for almost 10 seconds, the ball slowly trickled down the green and into the cup. Zoeller, who finished with a 68 to reach 7-under, gave the crowd a wry grin and a sarcastic thumbs-up after one of the most improbable of his 16 career aces.

Football / soccer matches between the world’s lowest-ranked countries

On 21st June, a few days before the 2006 World Cup final, Reuters reported that on the day the 2002 World Cup Final, the Caribbean island of Montserrat played the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan in a specially arranged match between the two lowest ranked teams in the world.

Bhutan, ranked 202nd, beat Montserrat, then ranked 203rd and last in FIFA’s rankings 4-0 in front of 15,000 people at home high in the Himalayas. After the match the players got together and did the only logical thing: watched Brazil beat Germany 2-0 in the real World Cup final on TV.

In 2006, FIFA’s membership has grown to 205 countries but last-placed American Samoa — unenviably on the wrong end of a 31-0 world record defeat to Australia five years ago, sadly did not play 204th-ranked Turks & Caicos Islands on the day of the World Cup final this year.

“It’s a shame,” FIFA spokesman Markus Siegler said at FIFA’s daily briefing, “because it was a great occasion and there was a great documentary made about it, but there are no plans to repeat the idea.”
