Admiring Topless Girls: Good for Your Brain???

Admiring The Sun's Page 3 (UK Dailies, not 'The Sun' from Malaysia) lovelies can speed up your mental reactions, scientists say. 

The scientists discovered that looking at pics of the likes of Lacey, Keeley and Rhian makes the brain react quicker.

They experimented by showing men and women photos of naked and clothed models. So it's not all about one gender...this is good gender equality.

At the same time, the participants' electrical brain activity was monitored.

And their results showed that it takes less than 0.2 seconds to process the image of a naked body — much less than when models are fully clothed or wearing swimsuits.

This kick-starts the brain into evaluating other images faster too. Making us more brainy!!

The team's findings are good news for advertisers who use scantily-clad stunners to boost sales. (As expected!)

Brain responses are strongest to pictures of nude bodies, the second strongest to bodies in swimsuits, and the weakest to fully clothed bodies — so the fewer clothes the better.

Researchers reckon our ancestors evolved the fast response to nakedness to help them find a mate quickly.

Professor Jari Hietanen of the University of Tampere, Finland, said: "Our data shows for the first time that early visual processing of nude over clothed bodies is enhanced.

"The results show the brain boosts the processing of sexually arousing signals."

Perhaps the result of the research could be applied into treating Alzheimer disease as well? 

The findings are detailed in the journal PLoS ONE. Wow!!!! This research got into journal!

iPhone 5 lost....this time in the bar

Was it a PUBLICITY STUN or was it a REAL incident???

An Apple worker is in hot water after an unreleased next generation iPhone was reportedly lost in a bar — for the SECOND time in two years.

The handset — believed to be the eagerly awaited iPhone 5 — was thought to have been 'misplaced' while the employee drank at a tequila bar in San Francisco. Ahhhahaha..drunken fella.

It is believed the gadget was then sold on over the internet for just £120.

Apple's security team were called in and traced the hi-tech handset to an apartment where a 22-year-old man was quizzed, according to reports.

No details about the phone are thought to have been revealed in the latest blunder by an Apple worker.

While Apple has not announced any plans to release a new iPhone, there have been numerous unconfirmed reports that the company was planning an October launch date for the iPhone 5.

In April 2010, the gadget blog Gizmodo paid £3000 in cash for a then-unreleased iPhone 4 that a 28-year-old Apple engineer had left in a German beer garden in Redwood City, California.

Two men were charged on misdemeanour theft charges for selling the iPhone 4 to the blog.

The already secretive company reportedly took even more extreme measures to protect itself from information leaks after the 2010 incident, including transporting iPhones in locked and sealed containers.

Apple declined to comment on the latest iPhone scandal. The San Francisco Police Department said the firm had not filed a police report related to the matter. -www.thesun.co.uk

Mystery Malaysian buys RM14.5b yacht..for real?!!!

A mysterious Malaysian businessman has reportedly splashed out a massive £3 billion (RM14.5billion) on a gold and platinum yacht made using 100,000kg of precious metals.

The 'History Supreme' yachtwhich even has a solid gold anchor stands out even when compared to other billionaires' toys. It was created by Liverpool-based jeweller Stuart Hughes.

It took him three years to complete and the entire base of the 100ft vessel is wrapped in solid gold, along with most other features on-board.

the interior of the yacht.cool!!

The main sleeping quarter is adorned with platinum accents and has a wall feature made from meteoric stone and a genuine T-Rex dinosaur bone. (For what do you need a bone? it's still a bone!!!)

Speaking to Newslite, Stuart Hughes said: "I was commissioned for the "History Supreme" project by an anonymous Malaysian business man who wanted something really special."

"It was probably the most mammoth task I have undertaken so far, there was three years of planning and it was very difficult to get right."

"The project uses 100,000 kilograms of solid gold and platinum and all features including the deck," he said.

Are you being serious? that's 100,000 kgs??!!! Making the boat float was a gargantuan feat then!!

Woman uses intruder as sex slave

A female shop owner in Russia overpowered a thief who tried to enter her salon.

She then tied him up naked with hair-dryer cable and made him her sex slave for three days.

Couriermail reported the would be thief Viktor Jasinski, 32, found himself overcome by owner Olga Zajac, 28, who had black belt in karate.

She allegedly floored the would-be robber with a single kick.

She used him as a sex slave to "teach him a lesson" for the next three days- force-feeding him Viagra to keep the lesson going.

The would-be robber was eventually released, with Zajak saying he had learned his lesson.

Jasinski went straight to the police and told them of his back-room ordeal.

Both have now been arrested.

When police arrived to question Zahjac, she said, “What a bastard. Yes, we had sex a couple of times. But I bought him new jeans, gave him food and even gave him 1,000 roubles when he left.

That's so 'violently' peculiar..That girl sure have a very high sex-drive.fed him with viagra forcefully for 3 days but in return, he got paid for the sex..speaking of reverse robbering?? hahahahahha

Sneijder to become Red Devil

FINALLLYYYY!!!!

Wesley Sneijder is ready to sign for Manchester United this week in a club record £35million deal.

And the Inter Milan midfielder is expected to agree a bumper contract that would eclipse even Wayne Rooney's £220,000 a week.

A team-mate said: "Everyone expects Wesley's move to United to be announced soon, maybe as early as Wednesday."

Sneijder's arrival will take United boss Alex Ferguson's summer spending to more than £85m - just £5m more than he picked up when he sold Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid in July 2009.

Inter are resigned to cashing in on the 27-year-old Dutchman.

The source added: "He has even spoken to Dutch international team-mate Nigel de Jong to find out where are the best places to live in Manchester.

I'm coming over Fergie!!

Watchout for your ARSEnal, You're a LiverFOOL, You're ChelSICK

"It all looks imminent, no matter what Inter or Wesley may say in public.

 "It seems Inter want to sell but don't want to admit it, while Wesley wants to go but doesn't want to say it. It's a good move for him and good business for Inter."

Sneijder joined the Italians from Real Madrid in 2009 and helped them win the Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia in his first season in Milan.

But injuries restricted him to just 25 appearances last term, as Inter finished runners-up to neighbours AC in the race for the Serie A crown. - 

GLORY GLORY MAN UTD!!!

A Man Who Has Not Bath in 37 YEARS!! YikeS!

Kailash Singh has not bathed or cut his 3m-long dreadlocks since 1974

It is not an achievement that can readily be savoured by his nearest and dearest. But Kailash Singh has as good a claim as any to the accolade of world's smelliest man - after refusing to wash for more than 37 years. Kailash, 65, has not bathed or cut his 3m-long dreadlocks since 1974, shortly after he married. 

Explaining his unconventional decision, Kailash claimed a priest guaranteed him a much-prized son and heir if he followed the advice. Despite neighbours joking the sweaty farmer would be lucky to persuade his wife to have any children at all, his religious guidance clearly failed - he has seven daughters. 

Kailash spends his days tending cows in 47C heat, yet the only 'cleansing' he does allow himself is a 'fire bath' each evening, which involves smoking marijuana, praying to the Hindu Lord Shiva and dancing around a bonfire. His long-suffering family admit they did once tried to force him into a stream. 

"He fought us off and ran away," said wife Kalavati Devi, 60. "We've tried several times since to force him to have a shower but he puts up such a fuss."

"He says he'd rather die than take a bath and only a son could change his mind. It has been so many years now I've got used to it."

His wife even threatened to stop sleeping with him if he didn't bath, but she gave in first, insisting she should be loyal and put up with the stench.

The father-of-seven spends all day working up a sweat tending cows and working in his fields near the Indian holy city of Varanasi, on the banks of the River Ganges, where temperatures regularly top 47C. 

He admits neighbours in the rural village of Chatav make fun of him but said he is following god's will. 

"Children tease and shout that I don't wash when I ride my bicycle through the village," he said. "There are many people who have a poor character that mock me for not washing."

"They do not understand my decision but I will not change my mind as it is god's choice, not mine."My wife doesn't like it either but she must bear all the hardships I have to bear. Besides, I take a fire bath in the evenings and that gets rid of all the sweat."

Kailash's wife claims she has tried everything to make her smelly husband clean up his act without success.

"I abused him and started crying when he told me about his senseless decision," she said.

"I even threatened to stop sleeping with him but he is my husband so there was little I could do about it."

Youngest daughter Pooja, 16, even says her father's strange decision has made her more popular.

"My schoolmates are curious to see and meet my papa," she said. "They keep asking me how he can live for so many years without washing and want to see for themselves."

"Earlier I would be angry but there's nothing we can do as he doesn't listen to anyone."

The only contact with water Kailash has is to wash his mouth and hands.

"I have no son, so I will never wash again," he said. "Maybe when I am born again I will wash." 

Maybe if he starts washing and cleaning himself again, he will finally get to bear a son. Respect for this guy for not washing himself for soooo loonggg..and can stand the hygiene..

Meat Made From Poop ~~

As we are already facing global food security crisis; Here's a solution to global food crisis, a Japanese Technology yet again :D



Mitsuyuki Ikeda, a researcher from the Okayama Laboratory has developed beef based on proteins from human excrement, reports the Huffington Post.

His idea was inspired when Tokyo sewage plant asked him to explore possible uses for the sewage and Ikeda found that the sewage contained a great deal of protein.

The final product is made up of protein (63 percent), carbohydrates (25 percent), minerals (9 percent) and lipds (3 percent).

The research team led by Ikeda colored the meat red with food coloring and enhanced the flavor with soy protein.

Ikeda hopes that the public will look beyond where the meat comes from and appreciates the meat’s positive side such as encouraging environmental responsibility.


WELL, this is also a solution to sewage treatment plant. It's all about nature, whatever goes around, comes around again, we have water cycle, nutrient cycle and for sure indirectly, food cycle in it.

Airbus Unveils Transparent Plane (woohoo!)

Transparent plane! Just like Star Trek!

Aircraft manufacturer Airbus has presented a futuristic concept of air travel in which passengers will be able to gaze up at sunny or starry skies through a transparent cabin.

The concept fuselage for travellers in 2050 would be a bionic bone-like structure that will allow for panoramic views outside the aircraft. (2050?!!! that's quite long...I wonder if i'm still alive and kickin' at that time?)

It would provide strength where needed and allow an "intelligent" cabin wall membrane that can control air temperature besides becominge transparent to give passengers open, panoramic views.

Gone will bee the regulated class divisions of First, Business and Economy, replaced by personalised zones that offer flexible, tailored levels of relaxation, interactivity and working spaces. (This is cool! Personalized zone for everyone, I'm sure that we will need to pay for the personalized system services)

Passengers can choose to travel in the Interactive zone, with a bar and electronic games where they can mingle and socialise. And those wanting quiet and solitude can choose the Relaxation zone. (this is what I have been waiting for!)

You just gonna love it..don't you?

For nervous flyers wanting to cut themselves off from the window views, or those simply seeking privacy from other passengers, seats would become 'holographic pods' that would shut out the outside world. (How about claustrophobic person?)

Seats could also change in size and shape for the individual passenger.

Entertainment would move well beyond the seatback TV screen, with concepts for the Interactive zone including virtual holographic golf courses or virtual clothes shopping. (I'm not really into this though)

Although Airbus engineers are gazing 40 years into the future, some of these developments could be turned into reality and incorporated into plane designs so that passengers reap the benefit of air travel with minimal environmental impact. (Speed up the development, 40 years is a little tooo loonggg)

"Our research shows that passengers of 2050 will expect a seamless travel experience while also caring for the environment," Charles Champion, Airbus Executive Vice President Engineering, told London's Daily Telegraph.

"The Airbus Concept Cabin is designed with that in mind, and shows that the journey can be as much a voyage of discovery as the destination."

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, a big-screen adaptation of Stieg Larssen’s hugely popular Swedish novel, is set to hit theatres on Dec 21.

Rats the Size of a Cat!

Imagine one day you found a rat this size?? WTF?!! the size of a cat? I would say it's the size of a dog..scary.

The Sun reported one baby was even found with its eyes gouged out.

Rats the sizes of cats are believed to have killed two babies in South Africa. Her mother discovered her child's body and said, "I can't forget how ugly my child looked after her eyes were ripped out.

"She was eaten from her eyebrows to her cheeks, her other eye was hanging by a piece of flesh." EWWWWW!!!

These giant rats grow up to three-foot including their tails - and have front teeth over an inch long.

The killer rodents are believed to be African Giant Pouched Rats - the biggest in the world.

They are nocturnal, omnivorous - eating both plants and animals - and can produce up to 50 young a year. WTH?? 50 youngs per year????? 

A second baby girl died in the Soweto township when she was attacked by rats while her teenage mother was out with friends. 

Police officer Bongani Mhlongo said:  "The mother of the child was arrested on charges of culpable homicide and negligence."

The deaths appear to be part of a spate of deadly rat attacks in the country.

Last month, 77-year-old grandmother Nomathemba Joyi died after giant rats chewed off the right side of her face. God Bless Her Soul.
