Student may be suspended for strangling his teacher - "KOTA TINGGI: A secondary school student may face suspension for strangling his teacher... State education director Mokhy Saidon said that the department would investigate the matter to determine the right course of actions to be taken. "We will investigate and see whether there is a need to suspend the student," said Mokhy when contacted here yesterday. "

Guides keen to be prepared – for safe sex and living with debt - "Guides are demanding sessions on how to practise safe sex and assemble flat-pack furniture to ready themselves for life in the 21st century. They also want instruction on how to manage debts and reduce the size of their carbon footprint as they prepare to enter the adult world."

The Official GENKI Website - Movie Downloads GENKI - "Lustful Lesbian Sex With A Dog. Lesbian porn with a twist. One with a female dog. The Genki debut also featured a porn first: a dog with a strap-on having sex. And an oral scene in which its vagina is spread wide and lustfully eaten out by the actress. It all came out my desire to create the kind of mind-blowing imagery that can only be found on Genki. The dog is actually my family pet. I felt terrible watching it vomit from the heat of the studio lights. I vowed never to shoot another film using a dog. Daikichi Amano"
Char: beats your octopus.
DAMN JAPS

Vista's Powerless Power Users: Someone Neutered My Defrag! - "Besides "Clear, Confident, and Connected", one of the central themes I’ve seen in Vista is called “Taking the Power from the Power Users”. It’s what happens when Microsoft tries to make things easier for the Windows users who aren’t technically-inclined, then inevitably make it more difficult for those who are trying to figure out how to get the most from it."
The most annoying bits of Vista are where it tries to imitate Macs. For example, now it's ridiculously hard to find my IP address - just like on a Mac.

This one time, at orientation camp... - "Orientation camps are proving to be so effective at getting boys and girls into relationships, organisers have scored funding for their work... At NTU and SMU campuses, games where boys piggy-back girls or pass bits of food to each other mouth to mouth are carried out without complaint. The SDU is not complaining either. The unit's survey of its 78,000 participants indicated that 88 per cent made new friends. Five per cent, in fact, began dating afterwards."

I'd rather play with the boys; When it comes to team sports, men are much easier to handle than women - "Hell hath no fury like an oversensitive woman... Later, another teammate rang me and asked that I apologise for what I had said. Convinced that the matter had been blown out of proportion, I refused. For the rest of the games, the tension between Oversensitive Girl and me was so thick I feared one of us would assault the other with a bat. My point is, the group dynamics of women is a complex beast... A woman could be perfectly pleasant on her own, but surrounded by other females, hormones take over. Add in the element of sporting contest and a power struggle ensues."

ISD: Countering Threats - "Over the years, ISD and its predecessor, Special Branch, have dealt with many threats to Singapore’s internal stability, security and sovereignty"
Funny how the 'Marxist Conspiracy' to overthrow the state doesn't appear here...

Digging up Malaysia’s Racial Past - "A new book by a Malaysian Chinese academic is on the point of being officially banned for suggesting that May 13 was the occasion for what amounted to a coup against the independence leader and Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman by his United Malays National Organisation colleagues who were pushing pro-Malay policies. Officials of Malaysia’s Internal Security Ministry Tuesday confiscated 10 copies of the book from a Kuala Lumpur bookstore, advising the store not to sell it as it may be banned. According to a letter issued by ministry officials, the book is suspected of being an “undesirable publication.”"
Happily, NUS has 2 copies already and they're hot property! One's on loan with 2 holds!

Popular baby names - "To see how the popularity of a name has changed over time, enter the name and, optionally, the sex and number of years. Please note that the name you select must be in the top 1000 most popular names in order for the name to appear in the table produced by your request."

Women Who Hate Women - "Recent conversations with females led me to think that women don’t have much respect for the people who make up their own gender. In an effort to come to some semblance of a conclusion regarding women’s respect for women, I asked exactly 42 women the following question: “If you could only have one child, would you have a boy or a girl? And why?” 37 women said they’d rather have a boy. 23 of those women offered this little nugget as the reason why: “Girls are bitches.”... 5. There are No Cute Baby Clothes for Girls I swear to God, this was the fifth most common reason women told me they would rather have a boy than a girl. And I honestly have nothing to say here."

Mother Teresa's Crisis of Faith - "The atheist position is simpler. In 1948, Hitchens ventures, Teresa finally woke up, although she could not admit it. He likens her to die-hard Western communists late in the cold war: "There was a huge amount of cognitive dissonance," he says. "They thought, 'Jesus, the Soviet Union is a failure, [but] I'm not supposed to think that. It means my life is meaningless.' They carried on somehow, but the mainspring was gone. And I think once the mainspring is gone, it cannot be repaired." That, he says, was Teresa... The Rev. Joseph Neuner... seems to have told her... her very craving for God was a "sure sign" of his "hidden presence" in her life; and that the absence was in fact part of the "spiritual side" of her work for Jesus."
I love this religious sophistry. But then again, they claim you can imagine God into existence (Anselm and Gaunilo's Island), so.
