What Do Idiots Do?

~IDIOT~

"In modern English usage, the terms "idiot" and "idiocy" describe
an extreme folly or stupidity, its symptoms (foolish or stupid utterance or deed)"
"In psychology, it is a historical term for the state or condition
now called profound mental retardation"

Analyse the points below to know if you really are an IDIOT...
  1. You spend half an hour looking at an orange juice box because it said, 'CONCENTRATED'.

  2. You put lipstick on your forehead because you wanted to makeup your mind.

  3. You get stabbed in a shoot-out.

  4. You send a fax with a stamp on it.

  5. You try to drown a fish.

  6. When someone money-tips you for your intelligence, you give them their change.

  7. You trip over a cordless phone.

  8. You take a ruler/measuring tape to bed to see how long you sleep.

  9. At the bottom of the application where it says "SIGN HERE", you put "AQUARIUS".

  10. You take 2 hours to watch "60 Minutes".

  11. You invent a solar powered torchlight.

  12. You are aware that 90% of all crimes occur at home, so you move/shift houses.

  13. You missed the No. 14 Bus, and take the No. 7 Bus TWICE instead.

  14. You are at the express way driving to the airport and see a sign that said, "Airport Left". You make a 'U-Turn' and go home.

  15. You got locked in a furniture shop, but sleeps on the floor.

  16. Finally, you spend time reading through the above 15 points, convincing yourself that you did not do any of them.

GOTCHA~ IDIOT!

Glow-in-the-Dark Cloned Cats

South Korean scientists have cloned cats that glow red when exposed to ultraviolet beams in a side-effect, by manipulating a fluorescent protein gene - a procedure which could help develop treatments for human genetic diseases.

A team of scientists led by Kong Il-keun, a cloning expert at Gyeongsang National University, produced three cats possessing altered fluorescence protein genes (RFP). Three cats were born in January and February - one died while two others grew to become adult Turkish Angoras, weighing 3.0kg and 3.5kg.

It marked the first time in the world that cats with RFP genes have been cloned. The ability to produce cloned cats with the manipulated genes is significant as it could be used for developing treatments for genetic diseases and for reproduction model (cloned) animals suffering from the same diseases as humans.

It will also help develop stem-cell treatments; cats have some 250 kinds of genetic diseases that affect humans, too.

"Cats have similar genes to those of humans," said veterinary professor Kong Il-keun. "We can make genetically modified cats that can be used to develop new cures for genetic diseases."

Keitaro Kato, a geneticist at Kinki University in western Japan who has cloned fish, said the research could be significant if it eventually helps treat people with hereditary diseases.

"People with genetic disorders usually have to receive treatment throughout their lives that is very hard on them," Kato said. "If these results can help to make their lives easier, then I think it's a wonderful thing."

How to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity in the Workplace


Feeling bored in your workplace?
Here are some entertaining activities to try out...

  1. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.

  2. Find out where your boss shops, and buy exactly the same outfits. Wear them one day after your boss does. This is especially effective if your boss is of a different gender than you.

  3. Make up nicknames for all your coworkers, and refer to them only by these names.
    "That's a good point, Sparky."
    "No, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with you there, Cha-cha."

  4. Send e-mail to the rest of the company telling them exactly what you're doing.
    For example: "If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bathroom."

  5. HIGHLIGHT your shoes. Tell people you haven't lost them as much since you did this.

  6. While sitting at your desk, soak your fingers in Palmolive liquid. Call everyone Madge.

  7. Hang mosquito netting around your cubicle. When you emerge to get coffee or a printout or whatever, slap yourself randomly the whole way.

  8. Put a chair facing a printer. Sit there all day and tell people you're waiting for your document.

  9. Every time someone asks you to do something, anything, ask him or her if they want fries with that.

  10. Send e-mail back and forth to yourself engaging yourself in an intellectual debate. Forward the mail to a co-worker and ask her to settle the disagreement.

  11. Encourage your colleagues to join you in a little synchronized chair-dancing.

  12. Put your trash can on your desk. Label it "IN".

  13. Feign an unnatural and hysterical fear of staplers.

  14. Send e-mail messages saying there's free pizza or donuts or cake in the lunchroom. When people drift back to work complaining that they found none, lean back, pat your stomach and say, "Oh you've got to be faster than that."

  15. Put decaf in the coffee maker for three weeks. Once everyone has withdrawn from caffeine addiction, switch to espresso.

V-Review: TV - How I Met Your Mother S03E06

Barney and Marshall walks into the living room of the apartment exclaiming that they have big news to tell Ted respectively:

Barney: "Ok, mine's pretty huge, but fine you go first."
Marshall: "Ok, I just fou...."
*Barney interrupts*
Barney: "I FOUND A PORNO STARRING TED MOSBY!"

Ted checking out the porno DVD starring Ted Mosby

Marshall then tries to tell his side of the story, but only to be interrupted several times. Out of frustration (throwing all suspense), he burst to saying he got the job at the NRDC (National Resources Defense Council).

*STOP* There are two main scenarios to this episode:

1. Real Ted in meeting the Porno Ted.
Down at the bar, Barney checks the Internet for Porno Ted, finding some interesting facts including an interview by AVW (Adult Video Weekly) with Real Ted who thought it was Architecture Vision Weekly. Finally, Real Ted decides to meet Porno Ted at the Adult Video Expo.

Real Ted and Barney meet Porno Ted (far left) at the Expo

The meeting leads to something even more interesting... ;)

2. Marshall's Dilemma
Marshall interviews with a notoriously evil corporate law firm, and ends up being flattered, wined and dined, and otherwise seduced into possibly accepting a lucrative job offer, thereby setting aside his dreams of working for the NRDC. Lily tries to give guidance to Marshall in the job selection, but he does not know about Lily's dark secret...

Lily reveals her dark secret to Robin

Which law firm is Marshall going for?

V-Tip: Tips from Police (ESPECIALLY FOR GIRLS)

"Almost every single day, I hear kidnapping cases, be it in the news, papers, gossips?, or posts (from Aron Dot Com). Take a moment to read through all of these tips; they might help you one day, hopefully..."

Meaaooww~
(Translation: Please God~)

  1. The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, DO!

  2. If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM! Toss it away from you!! Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet/purse, and he will go for the wallet or purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

  3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights, and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver would not see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

  4. Women have a tendency to get into their car after shopping, eating, working, etc..., and just sit (doing their check book, or making a list, etc...) DO NOT DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go.
    (AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE!)

  5. A Few Notes about Getting into your Car in a Parking Lot or Parking Garage:
    A. Be aware: look around you; look into your car, at the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. (Check out under the car as you approach.)

    B. If you are parked next to a big van, you should enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

    C. Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest to your car, you may want to walk back into the mall or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

  6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs.
    (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone, and the perfect crime spot)

  7. If the predator has a gun, but you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. SO RUN & DON'T LOOK BACK!! *Run in a slightly zigzag manner*

  8. Women are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped or killed. Ted Bundy, a serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane or a limp, and often asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

Real Case (by some anonymous person):
"Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her 'Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over.

The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door!'

He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby cry recorder, and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they heard baby cries outside their doors when they are home alone at night."

V-Wonder: When to Get Married?

Since last weekend was my cousin's wedding,
so I'll share some thoughts on when to get married.

"Seeing the newly wed going from table to table toasting,
and people shouting their lungs out -
"YYAAAAMMMM *takes a deep breath* AAMMM SEEEENGGG!!!!"

(chinese way of toasting)

and

the groom bottoms-up his glass..."

~I began to worry~

It's not that I'm old, and should already be married,
it's just that whenever alcohol runs through my body system,
NO, I don't get extremely high/drunk...

...but I'll get really red and really really red.

Yeap~ something like this, but not TOO HoRny~ ;)

Enough said...

When to Get Married??
  1. Your girlfriend asks you to keep the 19th of September 2008 free.

  2. Your girlfriend's father is making hints with a shotgun.

  3. Your girlfriend attends every friend's wedding banquet just to catch the bouquet of flower.

  4. You have been engaged for six years, and you still live with your mother.

  5. Your parents start playing with baby dolls again, making funny baby talks to the doll.

  6. All your colleagues show up with at least 3 kids when you meet up at your college reunion dinner.

  7. If you are a guy, you are ready to inherit a disease called "onegina". If you are a lady, "onewenis".

  8. If you are a guy, you are ready to purchase 4 types of "Ring" - engagement ring, wedding ring, suffe-ring, and endu-ring.

  9. You have overseen the excitement of marriage life, in which the 1st year, the man speaks and the woman listens; the 2nd year, the woman speaks and the man listens; and the 3rd year, you both speaks and the neighbour listens.

  10. Despite of all above, the both of you are still in love... Awww~

*sniff*sniff* I smell something... It smells like....


Still, it's nice seeing two loving people on their wedding day.

!!Congratulations to ALL Newly-Weds!!
*SINCERELY*

The Samurai

"For these guys, surrender was NEVER an option"

Anime: Rurouni Kenshin (Battousai the Slasher)

...looks cooler than...


Who He Was

An upper-class warrior in feudal Japan also called a bushi or "war-man". Samurai were bound to a strict code that saw them preferring to fight to the death or commit ritual suicide (seppuku/harakiri) rather than surrender.


Weapons
Samurai were allowed to wear two swords, a longer katana and a shorter wakizashi and had the right to cut down anyone who rubbed them up the wrong way. The oldest swords were straight, but a desire for tougher, sharper swords gave rise to the curved blade we know today.


The finest blade in history, the sword was a three-ply combination of iron and carbon cooled at different rates to produce a weapon that was frighteningly sharp, yet flexible. A blade was tested by cutting through the bodies of corpses or criminals. A single blow could slice a person into two!


For Honour and Glory!
The samurai were experts in fighting from horseback and on the ground and also practiced unarmed combat. The early samurai fought with the bow and arrow but encounters with Mongol invaders in the 13th century led to a change in fighting style. Samurai then began to use their swords more as well as the naginata (a pike-like weapon).


Golden Moments
In 1185, the Minamoto clan defeated their enemies the Taira, with the help of their samurai. Their leader Yorimoto became the first shogun, or overlord, with the emperors reduced to figureheads for the next 700 years.


Decline
Samurai gradually lost their military role. By the end of the shogun era, most were bureaucrats. In 1867, samurai were banned from carrying swords and the last shogun was toppled in 1868. Former samurai revolted during the next few years, but these uprisings were pointless against a new national army with modern weapons.


Catch Him in Action in
Th historic Tale of Genji, the saga of the Minamotos, and the world's first novel. On screen, watch Akira Kurosawa's samurai classics of the 1950s, or try The Last Samurai, starring Tom Cruise.

V-Review: TV - How I Met Your Mother S03E05

Future Ted is retelling the story about him dating a girl which he forgot her name was, back in 2007. So, for the sake of the story, he names her ______ . (you can easily guess it - starts with 'b', ends with 'a' and 'l' in between; then, say it twice)

Ted and ______ met online, but being embarrassed, she exaggerates on how she met Ted. Describing it as though it is a fairy tale meet up. Barney claims that she is crazy, even positioning her in the HOT/CRAZY Scale.

There are specific names for the line and certain area


From then on, Ted, Marshall, Lily, Barney and Robin tell their story on how they met one another.

1. Marshall and Lily:
  • Lily wanted help to fix her stereo, somehow she was drawn to Room 110 where Marshall stayed. It was love at first sight. Aww...~ (Perfected story over the years)

2. Ted and Marshall:
  • Marshall was 'eating sandwich' (smoking weed actually) when Ted enters the room, but Marshall thought Ted was the Dean.

3. Ted and Barney:
  • They met at the urinal.

4. Ted and Lily:
  • There are two variations to this:
    a. Ted made out with Lily at the freshmen party.
    (Ted: Too-Much-Tongue-Guy; Lily: Reasonably-Small-Mouth-Opening Girl)
    b. Ted was on the phone, crying, when Lily and Marshall walked into Room 110.

5. Marshall and Barney:
  • In the bar, Barney took Marshall as his student to teach him how to live.

*Plot Twist*

Marshall confirms the variations of how Ted met Lily. The girl Ted is dating gets even crazier, and tells Ted not to talk to her online anymore while playing World of Warcraft.

(Ted's character is the one on the right)

The episode ends with Ted, at his college reunion in 2020, knowing the real truth on how he actually met Lily.

Black Friday

When I first saw "Black Friday", I thought it was another perilous Friday believed to cause havoc, fear, whatever nonsensical stuff that anyone can think of - similar to the Friday the 13th.


And that first time was LAST WEEK... (yea, yea...laugh all you want~)

Com'on, Friday is always associated with something bad - there's a story behind it.


2 OPTIONS:
  1. To those who already know, you can continue laughing until your jaw starts to lock.
  2. To those who has the same fate as me, enlighten yourself by reading on...


Overview
Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, in which in this very day, U.S. consumers begin their Christmas shopping spree. As Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursdays in the U.S., Black Friday may be as early as 23rd of November or as late as 29th of November. This day is heavily promoted by retailers, opening as early as 5 a.m., and offering good deals/discounts to attract customers.


Origin
The origin of Black Friday comes from the shift to profitability during the holiday season. Black Friday was when retailers went from being unprofitable, or "in the red," to being profitable, or "in the black", at a time when accounting records were kept by hand and red indicated loss and black, profit.

V-Tip: Saving Petrol

(Feeling a little cranky - Sleep Less Nights *been saying that a lot for the whole week*)

From the NEWS:
SOUTH WESTERN EASTERN OF DORKSTINGTON, November 16, 2007: A deranged man in his mid forties was causing a ruckus at the neighbourhood's petrol kiosk when he threatened to shoot a customer with the nozzle after he realised that the price of petrol had risen again. He later tore the clothes he had worn, and went off running nude before the police settled the commotion.

However, it was known that he escaped from the grips
of the police, and fled into the woods nearby. If you happen to see a naked man running freely in your neighbourhood, please call immediately this toll free number: 1-600-800-12155. Becareful! He shows no mercy!

Ok, Drinking Saving Petrol...

Guidelines to Petrol Saving #1:
Fill up your car or truck in the morning when the temperature is still cool.

Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground; and the colder the ground, the denser the gasoline. When it gets warmer gasoline expands, so if you are filling up in the afternoon or in the evening, what should be a gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and temperature of the fuel (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products) are significant. Every truckload loaded is temperature-compensated so that the indicated gallonage is actually the amount pumped. A one-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for businesses, but service stations do not have temperature compensation at their pumps.


GtPS #2:
If a tanker truck is filling the station's tank at the time you want to buy gas, do not fill up.

Most likely dirt and sludge in the tank is being stirred up when gas is being delivered, and you might be transferring that dirt from the bottom of their tank into your car's tank.


GtPS #3:
Fill up when your gas tank is half-full (or half-empty).

This is because the more gas you have in your tank, the less air there is, and gasoline evaporates rapidly, especially when it is warm. (Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating 'roof' membrane to act as a barrier between the gas and the atmosphere, thereby minimizing evaporation) .


GtPS #4:
When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to the high setting.

If you look at the trigger you will see that it has three delivery settings: slow, medium and high. You should be pumping at the slow setting, thereby minimizing vapors created while you are pumping. Hoses at the pump are corrugated; the corrugations act as a return path for vapor recovery from gas that already has been metered. If you are pumping at the high setting, the agitated gasoline contains more vapor, which is being sucked back into the underground tank, so you're getting less gas for your money.


"Save the Petrol, Save the World"

V-Review: TV - How I Met Your Mother S03E04

This episode is mainly about the showdown between Ted and Barney on who has more 'GAME'.

Definition of 'GAME' : The ability to score with quality hot women with own effort. (well, more or less)
"...you can't spell GAME without ME, and ME has the best game..."
-Barney-

The Challenge: Pick up a girl and the first to sleep with her WINS! *Bad influence isn't it...LoL*

(Marshall, wanting not to be left out, tries to convince Ted and Barney that he has GAME too; even saying that he had won the GAME by marrying Lily. Also, also... Marshall runs the numbers of the numbers of times he and Lily have had sex) *this scene is really funny*

Barney approaches the girl, but only to be slapped on the face as he had slept with her about a year ago. So, this gives Ted the upper hand to win the GAME. Soon, Ted begins to date the girl (Stacy). Usual couple stuff - strolling, cooking, watching movie, etc...

The day to win the GAME finally comes. In the bar, Barney sarcastically supports Ted to win the GAME, claiming he knows from his 'experience' with Stacy.

"...kissing what I already kissed, nuzzling what I already nuzzled, going huhbubububuh on what I have going huhbubububuh on..."
-Barney again-

While with Stacy, Ted sees...



So, Ted fails, while Barney actually has a secret mission behind all these *watch to check it out*

Apart from the GAME, Robin dates with another hot guy, set up by Lily. The guy is one of Lily's kindergarten kid's father. Robin, being not a kid-person, finds it difficult to deal with the kid - Doug. Eventually, Robin thinks that Doug thinks that she is pretty cool, and leads to...

(Uh-oh~)

After a few dates, Robin wants to break up with Doug's father, in which she definitely needs to break up with Doug too. *There is a plot twist here* It ends up that Robin is the one being dumped.

V-Wonder: When to Have Kids?

You know it's time to procreate (to multiply) when :

  1. Your dog is called David and he's fed at the dining room table.

    (David~ Say grace)

  2. You spend more time at your sister's place - the one with the two-year-old.

    (More milk please~)

  3. Your wife has been storing the condoms in her sewing kit.

Probably the biggest decision in your life is to have, or not to have kids. The second biggest decision is when to have them. Apart from the obvious need to have a willing mother, the other potential stumbling block in MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!!

By the time a child reaches the age of 18, he or she will have cost the equivalent of a new Porsche 911 Turbo.


Besides the financial commitment, consider the impact it will have on your social life, your job and your relationship before thrusting into that world. (pun intended...LoL)

Looking at the bright side, well, you imagine it yourself...

V-Laugh: OUCH!! That Hurts...

A couple of women were playing golf one sunny Sunday morning. The first of the twosome teed off, and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole.

Indeed, the ball hit one of the men, and he immediately clasped his hands together at his crotch, fell to the ground, and proceeded to roll around in evident agony.

The woman rushed down to the man, and immediately began to apologize. She said, "Please allow me to help. I'm a physical therapist, and I know I could relieve your pain if you'd allow."

"Ummph, oooh, nnooo, I'll be all right...I'll be fine in a few minutes," he replied breathlessly as he remained in the fetal position still clasping his hands together at his crotch.

But she persisted, and he finally allowed her to help him. She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, she loosened his pants,and she put her hands inside. She began to massage him. She then asked him, "How does that feel?"

To which he replied, "It feels great, but my thumb still hurts like hell."

V-Laugh: Firetruck

A firefighter is working on the engine outside the station when he notices Little Johnny next door with a little red wagon. The boy is wearing a fire-fighter's helmet and has the wagon tied to a dog and a cat.

The firefighter says, "Hey little partner, what are you doing?"

Little Johnny says, "I'm pretending to be a fireman and this is my firetruck."

The firefighter walks over to take a closer look. "That sure is a nice fire truck," the firefighter says with admiration.

"Thanks, mister," Little Johnny says.

The firefighter looks a little closer, and notices that Little Johnny has tied the wagon to the dog's collar, and to the cat's testicles. The boy says, "You're probably right, mister, but then I wouldn't have a siren."

V-Tip: How to Avoid Relationship Break Ups?

Every couple in the world experiences this:
(If you don't, DO tell us...)

(Man: Yea, that's right. I'm Gay!)
*notice the man's posture*

(Woman: aaAAAHHHH!!!)

No, no...not every couple has a homosexual partner.
The point is... they QUARREL.

This guide is NOT to manipulate your partner, but rather to help remind your partner on why the both of you are together, and to keep two happy people together. If the both of you were never happy together, just skip this topic - it'll be deemed useless.

Do you have the feeling that your boyfriend/girlfriend (husband/wife) is going to break up with you soon? At times, we know that our partner no longer feels the same, but instead of rectifying the problem at hand, we sabotage it unintentionally by prying tons of inappropriate questions and acting insecure.

RULE #1:
BE THE PERSON YOU WERE WHEN YOU STARTED DATING.
Whoever your girlfriend or boyfriend is, both of you grew an attention to each other when you started dating or first met for various reasons. Maybe you were hilarious, witty, cool headed, or talented in some things. Whatever it was, repeat that history. It can trigger the interest that he/she has always had for you, and help them to realise why they're with you.

Reminisce the best moments in your relationship - the non-stop laughing moment, the first kiss setting. Try replaying those moments again without expecting a spectacular result to arise.



RULE #2:
AGREE WITH THEM.
Whatever your boyfriend or girlfriend says, AGREE with them. If they say, "I think we should be apart for the time being", instead of screaming "NO!! I love you, baby!! Stay with me!", keep your cool and say "I think you are completely right" with a smile. The whole point of it is being genuine and make them believe you are being genuine.

If throughout your relationship you have not been the "agreeing type", they will probably look at you funny or figure out if you are playing a game. If out of frustration, they say, "You're a jerk/loser." Agree with them and say something like, "You know what? You're completely right... I have lots of things I should work on."

To your surprise, your significant other might actually defend you instead. When you agree with them, they will more likely to say, "Look, you're not a jerk/loser, you just make me really angry sometimes." It's hard for someone to take cheap shots at someone who is unguarded. If you defend yourself though and disagrees with them, you are only pouring gas/petrol into a fire.


RULE #3
DO NOT TELL THEM WHY THEY SHOULD BE WITH YOU.
Do not say "But, I love you!", "We have so many great memories together!", "What will everyone think?" or list off all of your qualities. When you say anything of those or similar to those, all your significant other hears is "Me, me, me, me, me..."

Implication of "I LOVE YOU" - "I care about my feelings. Don't leave me because you'll make me unhappy" .

The last thing on their mind is your happiness. What they need to know is they are right.


Probably unrelated, but enjoy~

V-Review: TV - How I Met Your Mother S03E03

There are some stories you tell... there are some stories you don't tell...

Ted calls Barney excitedly, proclaiming that he wants to go for the belt. What belt?
It's 'THE BELT'!

Yeap~ That's the Belt! The Championship Belt~

What's the Belt for? It's for First to "ride the tricycle". In other words, a threesome.

Ted, Marshall and Barney are supposed to go down to MacLaren's Bar. Ted suits up, does his hair, which takes him an hour and a half of waxing, tugging, and tweezing to achieve; while Barney and Marshall are on their Nintendo Wii playing the Wimbledon Open.

Ted gets blown off by Barney and Marshall, but meets two beautiful young women who were sorority sisters. Unable to decide who is the most interested, Ted gets Lily to help him figure it out, only to find out that both are equally attracted to him (playing with their hair, touching his hands, etc...)

Meanwhile, Robin is on a date with an awesome new guy who has a British accent, but she did not shave her legs (she wears a pair of boots) with the reason of not wanting to get too intimate in any of her first three dates. However, all that is just talk.. you'll see..

...but something happens to her and loses her date...

Back to Ted, he takes the two women to his apartment upstairs, text-ing Barney that they "will be coming upstairs". Barney, Lily and Marshall trapped in the apartment, hides in a place Ted least expects.

Initially, Barney disapproves Ted's conquest to "ride the tricycle", claiming the Belt is his birth right, but later realises that it is his duty to help Ted win it.

Barney tips Ted on how to score

Ted manages to retain his composure, and sets out to win the 'battle'... but... hhm... "Some stories you tell, some stories you don't..."

There are lots of awesome scenes to catch. Get to know Barney's chance of "riding the tricycle" too. Well, the episode ends with Barney being driven crazy by Ted.


V-Wonder #2

Put your thinking cap on and ponder for just a moment...


  • Who tastes dog food when it has a "New & Improved" flavour?
  • Why Noah did not just swat those two darn mosquitoes?
  • Why they sterilise the needle for lethal injections?
  • Why they do not make the whole plane out of the material used for the indestructible black box?
  • Why sheep do not shrink when it rains?
  • Why they are called 'Apartments' when they are all stuck together?
  • Why if con is the opposite of pro, then is Congress the opposite of progress?
  • Why if flying is so safe, do they call the airport "the terminal"?
  • Why the ime of the day with the slowest traffic is called the "rush hour"?

Fart Kills!

Long before your time (actually just couple of years back, maybe?), a terrible diet and room with no ventilation are being blamed for the death of a man who was killed by his own gas. (Yeahahaaa, the intestinal gas expelled from his anus)

However, there was no mark on his body, but an autopsy showed large amounts of methane gas in his system. His diet had consisted mainly of beans and cabbage (and a couple of other things - maybe something died in his stomach too). It was just the right combination of foods.

Beans + Cabbage + Couple of Things NOT Nice
and

ACCIDENTALLY, added CHEMICAL F
Thus,


THE POWERFART GALS

NOT

THE POWERPUFF GIRLS

Ok, back to the story...

It appears that the man died in his sleep from breathing the poisonous cloud that was hanging over his bed. Had he been outside or had his windows been opened, it would not have been fatal, but the man was shut up in his near airtight bedroom.

According to the article, "He was a big man with a huge capacity for creating this deadly gas." Three of the rescuers got sick and one was hospitalized.


FACT OR MYTH?

V-Review: TV - Heroes (Intro)

(From left: Matt Parkman, Hiro Nakamura, Claire Bennet, Peter Petrelli, Nathan Petrelli,
Mohinder Suresh, Niki Sanders, Micah Sanders, D.L. Hawkins, Isaac Mendez, Simone Deveaux)

FYI: Some significant characters are not included & some are dead

Heroes is an American science fiction drama TV series created by Tim Kring, premiered on NBC on September 25, 2006. Heroes is pretty similar to Marvel's "X-Men" in that the characters have unique and special abilities, but "X-Men" is more action-and-plot-driven while Heroes is more character-driven.

Fast Fact:
14.3 million viewers of aged 18-49 were glued to their TV when Season 1 of Heroes premiered in the United States, receiving the highest rating for any NBC drama premiere in five years.

Season 1 Synopsis
The series pilots with a diverse group of people who discover their extraordinary powers, or special abilities. The discovery of their powers lead to several changes in their personal lives; some for better, some for worse (*spoiler alert* well, mostly worse :\ ). Also, ordinary people (who do not really have a real job to do) are investigating and finding for people with extraordinary abilities. Mohinder Suresh, a geneticist, continues his murdered father's research, while Noah Bennet represents a secret organization only known as "The Company".

Throughout the season, characters are either being killed by a serial killer - Sylar (to suck their brains out, literally) or being tracked down into The Company's conspiracy, and also the race to stop a nuclear explosion from destroying New York City.

Quote of the Season: "Save the cheerleader, save the world..."
