In this day and age, bloggers will blog about anything and everything, and the blog post won’t be complete without pictures, taken with photography equipment that would be the envy of any photojournalist.
However, in all my years of bloghopping I did not expect to see this one blog post, complete with damning, stark photographic evidence.
I think it’s the number one sign that one’s a true-blue blogger.
What do you think, should this be THE blog post of the year 2008?
Once in a blue moon I’d buy one of those cheapskate magic equipments imported from China. Usually the manual (usually made up of just a piece of paper) is written in English and Chinese, and the standard of English acceptable.
However, yesterday I picked up another magic equipment made up of a die and a box with a cover:
Unfortunately, the English-language part of the manual is so horrendously written I can’t make it out at all. If it were Engrish, at least you’d get the drift. But this one I surrender. If anyone can help me decipher it, I thank you very much in advance:
Spotted this young man at the office a few months ago busy “working”, while displaying what must be the world’s worst working posture.
Everything’s totally against what’s normally considered good ergonomics. Imitate at your own risk!
View from the back:
Does not look too bad?
Well, consider this view from the side:
An unnamed Italian couple in their early thirties were arrested by police early this month after they made love in the confessional box in a cathedral while morning Mass was being held!!!
The Roman Catholic cathedral is located in northern Cesena.
They were not jailed, only cautioned for performing obscenity in public and disturbing a religious function.
They have since repented and made peace with the local bishop, saying they had drunk too much. Last week the bishop celebrated a “Mass of reparation” in the same cathedral to make up for the sacrilege.

Jodie Louisa Marsh was born 23rd December 1978 in Essex, England. She’s a topless model, having appeared in many publications. She’s also infamous for her high profile feuds with other celebrities.
At the 2007 FHM awards, turned up in her now infamous “belt outfit”, where she wore what looked like 3 belts, 2 thin ones arranged in an X-shape to cover her nipples and one thick one used as a skirt, which could not even cover the whole of her buttocks. In other words, she’s practically naked.
That outfit, which could very well redefine the phrase “dressed to kill” and noisy clamour of photojournalists have to be seen to be believed:
A few months ago I received a trial copy of the Discovery Channel Magazine. Flipping through it, I nearly jumped off my seat when, opening up a page, I was confronted with a 2-page spread of this:
Have you seen a scarier image on a mainstream magazine? I am sure there are even worse pictures on specialty / underground magazines, but how about magazines of this type i.e. available at any newsstand?
Here’s a closeup of those haunting eyes staring at you:
This is definitely something that those who needs it has to wear their medical alert bracelets.
When I first saw its picture, I thought it’s just another photoshopped hoax, but digging deeper, I was shocked to discover that it’s a real plant, usually called the Peter Pepper, scientific name capsicum annuum var. annuum ‘Peter’.
It’s native to Louisiana and Texas.
It’s been called many other names, including Chilli Willy and Penis Chilli; and has been judged “Most Pornographic Pepper” by Organic Gardening Magazine.
Not surprising, since it looks like so:
Apparently it has always been grown more as an ornamental thing, rather than to be eaten, although it’s perfectly edible.
The New Straits Times first reported on 6th April 2008 that a toothpaste sold in Kuala Terengganu has caused a furore to some extent, as “its brand name was considered to be rather suggestive by some people.”
The brand: Oral-Me.
In fact, popular blogger Kenny Sia reported this almost a year ago, back in May 2007.
2 days later, the same newspaper, reported that the product is produced by Pro Dental B Corporation Sdn Bhd, a Kulim, Kedah, based company, and that even its executive director Sunny Saw defended its name, saying he “saw nothing wrong with the name as it was connected to oral care. The name is just to show that it is an oral product.”
Still, enough people thought that the brand name carried a negative connotation that it made the news, online and offline, including marketing executives and English teachers, people that should know better than most.
Apparently happened on Bulgarian Idol auditions, broadcast on Bulgarian TV 26th February 2008, when Valentina Hassan, who does not speak a word of English, sung the classic Harry Nilsson / Mariah Carey hit “Without You”.
Even the dialogue is funny, as she said she was going to sing a song called “Ken Lee”, and to a question as to whether she meant “Without You”, she empathically said “No!” Then at the end, when asked what language she had just sung in, she didn’t miss a beat when answering: “English!”
Has to be seen to be believed, this is at least the video of the year 2008:
Watch this guy checking out the apparently problematic mike. He put his ears next to it, as though expecting sound to come out of it - but I thought you have to listen to the loudspeakers instead? Or perhaps he detected some kind of insect trapped inside and making a buzzing noise?
Your guess is as good as mine, but I’d go as far as saying even an AP Royal Oak won’t help his case here.
