This has got to be the greatest question ever asked on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
Unfortunately, apparently it’s only a sketch on SNL.
Still, even if it was a real question, “greatest ever” here could not possibly mean “most difficult”. For example, the following question can be asked: what is the longest name of a model of a cooking utensil? The answer of course is “all clad copper core set of cookware,” but then how many people would know that, at least worldwide?

Now this is a company team list with a difference.
Berbay Corporation was established in 1995 and specialises in marketing and public relations, working with legal, financial, real estate, professional service and B2B firms.
In their team list, apart from the 6-member “Account Team” they also have 3 CEOs. Wait, you ask, why do they have THREE CEOs? It only makes sense if you discover that the CEOs are 3 dogs named Hunter, Hamlet and Halo, and that CEO here stands for Canine Efficiency Officer.

Today the BBC called this the internet’s biggest parody.
————————
In the excellent 2004 film Der Untergang, Adolf Hitler has a nervous breakdown, launching a scathing verbal attack to his generals when he realizes that he has lost the war.
That scene in the movie, which is about the last 12 days in The Fuhrer’s life has been endlessly parodied. In other words, it has become an internet meme.
The original is this:
But it has been hilariously twisted beyond recognition. The latest: Hitler lets loose after Manchester United lost to Liverpool 0-2 in the EPL:

According to wikipedia, one of KFC’s actual advertisements is one promoting its “wicked crunch box meal”. It features a fictional black metal band called “Hellvetica” performing live, which ends with the lead singer swallowing fire. The commercial then shows the lead singer at presumably his dressing room eating a “wicked crunch box meal” and saying “Oh man that is hot”.
Someone commented that that’s a cool name for a band, definitely better than if the band were named “ceramic tile“!

Caroline Cartwright, 48 (right, with husband Steve) has been handed a suspended prison sentence.
Sentencing, Judge Beatrice Bolton said:
I’ve heard a very short extract of the noise you make and can well see that your neighbours would be upset and distressed by this. In addition it’s quite clear from the small extract I heard that you made no attempt to silence yourself.
She further said that if she continued with her old habit, she’d be really sent to prison.
————————————————–
ORIGINAL POST: 28th April 2009
So noisy that she was imprisoned because of it!
Caroline Cartwright, 48 of Wearside, England screamed, moaned and groaned loudly everytime she had sex with her factory worker husband Steve, 46 at her home.
Not only that, their act was so rigorous that the bed was banging loudly against the wall, and slapping noises could be heard.
Happening in the early hours, it was all too much for the neighbours to bear.
Earlier in April she was given an Anti-Social Behaviour Order (ASBO), banning her from being “noisy during sex,” valid for 4 years. An Asbo is a civil order given in the UK and the Republic of Ireland to someone who’ve “engaged in anti-social behaviour.”
However, within 10 days, she reportedly breached it 3 times.
A partially deaf neighbour, Margery Ball, said that she has not had a good night’s sleep for 2 years because of the noise.
Another Rachel O’Connor, said:
I heard sounds of a sexual nature, they were really loud, and there was a lot of moaning and groaning and screaming as if in pain. It wasn’t just the woman, it came from both parties.
So much so that the noise was like domestic violence.
She added that when she first moved in in November 2007, the noise started at midnight and lasted until 3am. Later, it started at about 6.30am and lasted until 9am.
It is not known whether Caroline was one to buy HGH to keep her performance up, despite her age.
After many complaints, the local council’s environmental health department installed audio recording equipment in the flat next door to the Cartwright’s house. They made 23 recordings, all played in court, in a soundproofed room to magistrates.
Despite having being arrested twice, Caroline was defiant, and said:
I’m not going to stop. I’ve been making the same noises since the Asbo was imposed, and this morning, we were making noises for three hours. I can’t stop making noise during sex, it’s unnatural to not make any noises, and I don’t think that I’m particularly loud.
Wow, what a woman!
Now one positive note out of this is that Caroline and Steve has been married 25 years, yet they managed to keep the passion going all this while!!!

This is a most heartbreaking story.
V. Letchumy, 52 of Kota Tinggi, Johor must be Malaysia’s, or even the world’s most unfortunate person in living memory.
Five years ago (another report said three) her husband died suddenly of a heart attack. They had 4 children together. In one stroke, she became a single mother.
Then on 25th January 2009, all her children, aged 17, 16, 14 and 10 died when they drowned at sea after being swept away by a big wave.
She and the children were on their way to visit a relative when the kids asked for permission to go for a short swim at a nearby beach. She relented because after all, it was the school holidays and that an older person, nephew S. Veerasamy, 22 swam them in the 11am (other reports said 1pm) incident while she waited on the beach.
Veerasamy survived. At the hospital, he was reported to have said:
I feel sad because there were a few other people on the beach, yet not even one came to our aid. If they did, this tragedy could’ve been averted.
As to how the tragedy happened, he was reported to have said:
Upon reaching the beach, all of us went into the water. Not long after that, I came out because my leg felt painful, hence leaving them alone. Suddenly I heard screams for help and then saw them struggling. I immediately jumped in the water to rescue them. I managed to reach Gopi and Ganeswaran’s hands before my grip was broken by a huge wave. After I myself almost drowned and I couldn’t see them anymore, I limped back to the beach.
Letchumy’s younger brother, taxi driver Rajendran, 47 summed it up: “Everyone is in shock. It all happened so suddenly.”
Let’s assist in any way we can.

A year after his shoe-throwing escapade against President Bush, now it’s the turn of the world’s most famous shoe thrower, Muntadar al-Zaidi to have a shoe thrown at him!
He was speaking at a press conference in Paris on 1st December 2009 when it happened. The attacker was reportedly a pro-US Iraqi journalist.

Not to be outdone by President Bush, Zaidi had his own unforgettable quote after the attack: “He stole my technique!”
After his attack on Bush, Zaidi was jailed 9 months, and claimed he was tortured in prison.

Within hours of that incident, at least 2 online games has been created and many animations and video mashups done.
Game 1 – apparently created by some Frenchmen: you play Bush who gets shoes of various shapes and sizes thrown at you, avoid them as long as possible by ducking to the left and right. It gets harder as time goes by since the shoes fly faster and faster!
Game 2 – you play a secret service agent with 2 guns. You need to shoot the shoes down before they even reach the president. Be careful, do not accidentally shoot Mr Bush!
Then there are the various mashups and animations mushrooming all over the place, reminiscent of the time Zidane headbutted Materazzi during the 2006 World Cup Final.

Mondegren director Buffalax is a comic genius. I haven’t watched a Hindi music video in its entirety for a very long time, until the day I saw this video. Usually I’d just skip, even fast forward the singing part. This has to be seen to be believed, guaranteed to make one laugh uncontrollably.
Buffalax added subtitles of the “written English approximation of the video’s original language sound,” then uploaded it on 18th August 2007. Since then the video has been viewed more than 8 million times and commented more than 25,000 times.
The song’s name is Kalluri Vaanil, a love song, sung by Prabhu Deva Sundaram in the Indian Tamil movie Pennin Manathai Thottu released in 2000.
As a result of Buffalax’s work, I think interest in the movie from outside India skyrocketed, stunning those involved in the making of the movie.

It was reported in March 2007 that an unnamed 30-year old labourer from Auckland, New Zealand was trying to refuel his car at a Mobil gas station when he slowly slumped on to the boot, then fell to the ground.
Worse, there was a 2 year old child inside the car!

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.

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.”

For the auditions of X Factor 4, Totoshko travelled all the way from Japan to meet her idol, Simon Cowell in the Birmingham auditions of the show in August. It’s obvious that getting thru the audition was secondary in the 31-year old soft-spoken woman’s intentions.
In normal circumstances Cowell would’ve slaughtered her there and then, like he had done so many times to other people in the past, but this time a softer side of him was revealed.
She sang one of the worst ever versions of ‘My Way’ and caused Cowell to try very hard not to laugh.
She said: “I like you very much Simon, I came here just to meet you, you are very big in Tokyo.”
Cowell then gave her a hug and 2 kisses.
He didn’t let her go thru to the next round, but if he heard such singing from any other person, he would not tell them what he told her: “That was a very quiet audition but very sweet voice and you’re very cute, I may have to take you home”.
The episode was first shown on British television on 1st September 2007.

The world’s hunkiest man could be walking around right here in Malaysia. So hunky that normally reserved women would fight over a complete stranger in full view of the general public.
On 2nd July 2007, The Star Malaysia reported that in Merega Beris in Kijal, Kemaman, Terengganu on Saturday, a man, who some said looked like a certain Bollywood actor, although exactly which one was not mentioned, casualy went into a food court alone to have his teh tarik.
That was the start of all the trouble. Two smitten young women at two separate stalls instantly tried to get his attention in order to lure him to have his teh tarik at their respective stalls. Then he spoke to one of the women. The other woman, aged 21, took this as a rejection to her advances and in her rage, went to the other woman, tore the T-shirt she was wearing and accused her of being a nymphomaniac and wearing revealing clothes.
The other woman, aged 22, proved to be more than a match, when she quickly took a pan containing scalding hot water with which she poured on the other young lady.
Totally unbecoming behaviour for supposedly demure young ladies.
Then an older lady got into the fray, in the form of the younger lady’s mother, aged 46. In defence of her daughter, she started throwing chairs at the other lady, causing damage to several tables.
Needless to say, they became the centre of attention of customers trying to enjoy their food.
And what happened to the hunk? The Star reported that “the shocked man fled the scene.”
The incident was confirmed by state Deputy CID Chief Supt Khairi Ahrasa yesterday, who went on to say that the scalded woman had been warded at the nearest hospital.

With the slogan “Keep your head. Remove theirs,” The Zombie Preparedness Initiative website describes itself as a “knowledge base provided by a community of citizens concerned about the impending zombie invasion and the iminant (sic) disaster that is sure to follow. We are not claiming to be experts on anything, we are merely doing what we can to gather knowledge and share the aquired information with the public. By doing this, we hope to help people prepare for the very real threat that we shall face when zombies show up and governments have not taken the time to prepare. We are working to do what we can to help people find others in their area that are interested in fighting against the zombies so that when the time comes there can be safe locations all around the world.”
It even has a DIY section on how to make weapons to battle it out against zombies. One weapon is called the Trash Kannon, with very detailed instructions on how to construct it. According to the site, the Trash Kannon is “a weapon designed to be powerful against undead and living foes to varying degrees whilst being easily created from materials scavenged from around the typical human city. Under perfect conditions, it can fire through a line of approximately 10-11 undead bodies, or 5-6 living bodies, due to differing activity (I do not advise attempting to find an accurate number prior to the actual dystopia). It can be used as a trap, by creating a simple firing mechanism keyed to activate under certain conditions, which will vary depending on the situation and location.”

You’d think that Israelis are one of the world’s most paranoid people – but an article I came across some time ago totally shot that idea down.
Reuters reported on 19th February that Israeli police found that a car was blocking traffic in the fast lane of a major highway somewhere near Jerusalem, of all places. Reading about this, one would immediately suspect that terrorists were on to something – going to blow up that car or something similar.
Instead, they found a couple inside having sex! Apparently, the female driver and her male companion simply could not wait for a more private location. In fact, they could not even make the time to park at the roadside.
Amazing, considering the racket the other motorists caused with their honking and cursing. As would be expected, they caused a massive traffic jam and forced other roadusers to swerve to avoid them.
And for all that, they only got a ticket. No charge for public indecency or something like that. See, Israelis are probably the world’s most laidback people! I mean, if it happened anywhere else, somewhere in the laidback Western Hemisphere perhaps, probably nobody would bat an eyelid.
