Ummmmmm…Feet?
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007This is an old Chinese custom of feet binding which was banned during Mao’s era, so I’m guessing this old lady is a remnant of the old custom. In the old Chinese Society, small feet in women were preferred, so they bound baby’s (girls only) feet in iron shoes to prevent them from growing. Of course, it caused deformity but as long as their feet fit in the smallest shoes possible, they’re cool with it.
Granny grows horn
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007The horn curves downward and looks like the stalk of a pumpkin, reports the Yangcheng Evening Post.
Granny Zhao, 95, of Zhanjiang city, Guangdong province, says it first appeared three years ago.
“At first, it was only a mole, but it gradually grew and became like a horn,” she said.
Zhao says the horn causes her little trouble except to affect her vision slightly: “It causes me no discomfort, but blocks part of my view.”
But her family are hoping that medical experts can explain the phenomenon.
Your sister did what? Well, you’ve got the job!
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007Resumes are intended to set a good first impression, catch a hiring manager’s attention, and to give an overview of a candidate’s skills and experience. Some candidates go a little beyond the normal limits in the items they choose to include.Most employers who have interviewed for a few years have a funny interview or resume story to tell. A recent CareerBuilder.com survey found 12 rather strange items included in resumes. There’s a good chance that these were intended to catch the hiring manager’s attention. We don’t know if these inclusions increased or decreased the chances of getting an interview. But, we do know that many of them will catch your attention.
Candidate included that he spent summers on his family’s yacht in Grand Cayman.
Candidate attached a letter from her mother.
Candidate used pale blue paper with teddy bears around the border.
Candidate explained a gap in employment by saying it was because he was getting over the death of his cat for three months.
Candidate specified that his availability was limited because Friday, Saturday and Sunday was “drinkin’ time.”
Candidate included a picture of herself in a cheerleading uniform.
Candidate drew a picture of a car on the outside of the envelope and said it was the hiring manager’s gift.
Candidate’s hobbies included sitting on the levee at night watching alligators.

Friday, May 25th, 2007Lion Mutilates 42 Midgets in Cambodian Ring-Fight
BBC News
Monday, 2 May, 2005, UK
Spectators cheered as entire Cambodian Midget Fighting League squared off against African Lion
Tickets had been sold-out three weeks before the much anticipated fight, which took place in the city of Kâmpóng Chhnãng.
The fight was slated when an angry fan contested Yang Sihamoni, President of the CMFL, claiming that one lion could defeat his entire league of 42 fighters.
Sihamoni takes great pride in the league he helped create, as was conveyed in his recent advertising campaign for the CMFL that stated his midgets will “… take on anything; man, beast, or machine.”
This campaign is believed to be what sparked the undisclosed fan to challenge the entire league to fight a lion; a challenge that Sihamoni readily accepted.
An African Lion (Panthera Leo) was shipped to centrally located Kâmpóng Chhnãng especially for the event, which took place last Saturday, April 30, 2005 in the city’s coliseum.
The Cambodian Government allowed the fight to take place, under the condition that they receive a 50% commission on each ticket sold, and that no cameras would be allowed in the arena.
The fight was called in only 12 minutes, after which 28 fighters were declared dead, while the other 14 suffered severe injuries including broken bones and lost limbs, rendering them unable to fight back.
Sihamoni was quoted before the fight stating that he felt since his fighters out-numbered the lion 42 to 1, that they “… could out-wit and out-muscle [it].”
Unfortunately, he was wrong.

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007Man Cited for DWI at Ark. Drive-Through
Tuesday, May 22, 2007
CAMDEN, Ark. —
A man who was a little slow in picking up his fast food has been charged with drunk driving. Police said they found Terrance Forte, 32, asleep behind the wheel in the drive-through lane at a McDonald’s restaurant.
Restaurant employees called police about 12:30 a.m. Saturday after waiting 15 minutes for Forte to drive from the first window to the second window in the drive-through.
In a police report, Officer William Mahon said he found Forte asleep inside the car with the engine running and his right foot on the brake. The report said Forte offered Mahon $10 for his food order when Mahon tried to wake him.
Forte’s blood alcohol level was registered at 0.19, more than twice the legal limit.
Forte was cited for his third drunk-driving charge and was later released.
A telephone number for Forte could not be found Tuesday and it was not known if he had a lawyer.
“holding up a sign up saying “Help! Please call the police!”
Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007BERLIN (Reuters) - A nine-year-old German girl was so upset about having to tidy her room she put up a sign in her window urging passers-by to call police for help.
Pedestrians in the central city of Braunschweig saw the girl crying in the window, holding up a sign up saying “Help! Please call the police!” Next to her sat a small boy. Quickly alerted, officers rushed to the scene to discover the girl had argued with her mother about tidying her room and enlisted her two-year-old brother’s aid to attract attention.
“The room looked like a battlefield,” said a spokesman for local police on Monday. “Officers told the girl to tidy her room. When they came back two hours later to check, it was all cleaned up. And the mother and daughter had made up too.”
So there I was, just floating in my tube when…
