The world’s heaviest beer drinker, Marijan Camber drinks on average almost a crate of beer EVERY day, but as The Sun (UK tabloid) reported on 29th October, Steve “Boozer Loser” Webster, 18 did even more: (more…)
I got this via email some months ago. It’s one of those rare ones that’s been seen by many people, but so good I had to post it again.

To reflect and…. act.
The difference between the poor countries and the rich ones is not the age of the country.
This can be shown by countries like India & Egypt, that are more than 2000 years old and are poor.
On the other hand, Canada, Australia & New Zealand, that 150 years ago were inexpressive, today are developed countries and are rich.
The difference between poor & rich countries does not reside in the available natural resources.
Japan has a limited territory, 80% mountainous, inadequate for agriculture & cattle raising, but it is the second world economy. The country is like an immense floating factory, importing raw material from the whole world and exporting manufactured products.
Another example is Switzerland, which does not plant cocoa but has the best chocolate of the world. In its little territory they raise animals and plant the soil during 4 months per year. Not enough, they produce dairy products of the best quality. It is a small country that transmits an image of security, order & labor, which made it the world’s strong safe.
Executives from rich countries who communicate with their counterparts in poor countries show that there is no significant intellectual difference.
Race or skin color are also not important:immigrants labeled lazy in their countries of origin are the productive power in rich European countries.
What is the difference then?
The difference is the attitude of the people, framed along the years by the education & the culture.
On analyzing the behavior of the people in rich & developed countries, we find that the great majority follow the following principles in their lives:
1. Ethics, as a basic principle.
2. Integrity.
3. Responsibility.
4. Respect to the laws & rules.
5. Respect to the rights of other citizens.
6. Work loving.
7. Strive for saving & investment.
8. Will of super action.
9. Punctuality.
In poor countries, only a minority follow these basic principles in their daily life.
We are not poor because we lack natural resources or because nature was cruel to us.
We are poor because we lack attitude. We lack the will to comply with and teach these functional principles of rich & developed societies
The worst computer game of all time
30-Oct-06
PC World reports recently that the worst computer game of all time is E.T: The Extra Terrestrial (1982) which runs on an Atari 2600. (more…)
According to the testimony, Athet Pyan Shinthaw Paulu (above) was almost dead for a few days but when he came to, he told of his vision.
What he said is highly controversial, especially his vision of hell: (more…)
I saw this photograph for the first time in the June 1989 edition of Time magazine while waiting for my turn at the doctor’s:
The greatest and most famous photographs tend to have emotional impact upon us.
The naked girl in the middle is Phan Thi Kim Phic, 9 years old then. She’s screaming while fleeing her village after being severely burnt on her back by a napalm attack.
The photo was taken by Vietnamese photographer Nick Ut. This photo won him the Pulitzer Prize. (more…)
A nightmare scenario for network administrators is taking over from a well-worn, years-old cabling closet which have had many people in charge. One thing that has to be done is determining where all those cables go to, or linking what and what.
Consider this one, which might look a totally hopeless case:
Hair-tearing stuff? But to me, this one looks even scarier, possibly due to the Alien-black wiring:
Back in August, Reuters reported that police in the German city of Aachen received an unusual call for help late one night when a woman telephoned to complain her husband was not fulfilling his sexual obligations. (more…)
Artist, as in painting and stuff.
Uwe Max Jensen, 34 lives in Aarhus, Denmark and is branded a “shock artist” and has been for years, due to his use of provocative material for his work, which includes his own blood, urine and excrement instead of the usual things. (more…)
Peter John Anak Apai’s “Joget to the Moon” is entertainingly bad:
The song itself is ok lah…. still danceable and hummable, but the following are reasons why I think it’s the worst:
- The singer’s actions throughout the video is unbelieveable - more gay than macho. Especially that “jaywalk” at the beginning. No wonder the girl did not take the bait. And while I thought that that jump-in-the-water stunt was lame, the fact that this was replayed several times was lamer, and the fact that he continued singing while IN the water was ….well…….. puke-worthy.
- That girl looked unnaturally nervous on screen - the first time the camera focused on her - she was like, combing her hair back several times - not beautiful……:-)
- Lyrics are on par with the worst i have ever seen: “you’re so beautiful like Madonna?”; “on honeymoon we go to the moon, but not to the doom?” Even Jean-Claude Van Damme’s worst is better than this!
