Cursing can numb your pain

Gawker sometimes throws up some intriguing bits of random information like the one about blowjobs giving you cancer *haha*.This time it says that scientists at Keele University have demonstrated through what obviously is empirical evidence (they had subjects sink their hands into ice water), that there seems to be a link between swearing and an increase in pain tolerance.

Most fascinating part of this study is that it is the prudes who felt the pain-numbing effects more than regular cursers (like yours truly). What a way to convince myself to reduce swearing like a sailor. No wonder no one believes I am a chick when I play COH.

Now I know why people curse their exes when they go through breakups. Because it numbs the pain.

TGIF Specials 14: Pedobear goes to the Winter Olympics

It's old news really, but we must celebrate the lameness of others.

Lame Valentine Adverts - Carrefour (TODAY 09 Feb 2010)

In Your Face, Google

The 山寨 strike again.

They miss Google so much, that in anticipation of Google pulling out of China (not even sure if that is even happening), they made Goojje. You know, 谷歌 （phonetically 哥, meaning brother） now 谷姐 (姐 meaning sister). In fact they made a really sardonic, somewhat lame and yet oddly amusing line about “哥的留下是为了姐，哥依然迷恋着姐”. Direct translation means Older Brother stayed behind because of Older Sister, because he remains captivated by her. Up to you to interpret who is Sister and who is Brother. haha.

I smell a lawsuit.

I went to test the search engine, thinking that it was reflecting search results from google. Oh yes, it is... not even Bing is that "in your face" to Google. This is going to be fun!!!

Y I say Facebook is Evil - Asian people. Very Big on Karma, Revenge and Goals

[source: Lamebook]

A very vengeful Asian boy gets back on his sister after she got him in trouble with their parents for having a 12-pack in his bedroom. 12 pack == 3 months grounding => sister must pay. So he went to dig in her closet and found her Hook-Up List complete with deadline and all. And uploaded it into Facebook and tagged all her friends and "recipients of her love".

Asian people. Very Big on Karma, Revenge and Goals. 本是同根生，相煎何太急 my ass. FYI, V-card supposedly means virginity, though it looks highly doubtful on whether she still has any to issue.

Click on the image to see the sordid story in its entirety and the reaction of friends and victims.

Washing My Dogs

If only I had 100M bps? Pimp my Broadband, Digi??

Is Google trying to be funny?

Then I remembered from a book that I read about Google's story, that it was founded in 1998. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOOGLE!!!

Ewwww, what are these? Housekeeping Treasures

Talk about a triumph of housekeeping. Mother decided to springclean the kitchen shelves, and found tucked in the deepest corner of the highest cupboard shelf....

Lizard eggs!!! I kid you not. Problem is, la Lizards have been born and are no doubt making sweet sweet love somewhere else among our shelves or walls.

What famished geeks do when they are hungry?

They zap a hotdog (at 219V AC) for supper. Within seconds. Check out the third pic where LED lights show the current flowing through the dog... nice. :d

Get it straight from English Russia just because something cool happens daily on 1/6 of the Earth surface.

SuperObamaWorld

Check out the new president-elect in the eponymous SuperObamaWorld. Need I say more?

In the wake of his victory, we also revisit his "greatest" fan's, Obama Girl, video.

Acapella Dedication to John Williams

Youtuber ApprenticeA dedicated this to John Williams (the guy who composed the music to Jaws, Star Wars, ET, etc.

Stormtrooper gone to seed...

I ain't sick of CoH yet!!!!

When I am bored, I play CoH (too often)...

When Will Foster from Kettering University was bored, he built a fully-functional (Note: to me, fully functional means can move and hit people) Panzer tank. Nice.

Out of mostly plywood, the tank runs on diesel and hit people with paint balls, golf balls and empty Red Bull cans out of its air cannon.

The Tribulation Force is Strong??? (Disclaimer: this is a FYI, not a recommendation)

Non-believers beware! There is a new game in town, called "Left Behind" where non-believers of the Christian faith are either converted to Christianity or are mowed down by machine gun fire. Disturbing...
