Malaysia Delusion: Military of Malaysia: KOMANDO MALAYSIA INTRUSION INTO SINGAPORE MISSILE COMPLEX - "Malaysia has quietly shown Singapore over how weak her security is. She has slapped the Singapore armed forces in ways that caused it to come unstuck. The most dramatic was when its commandos invaded its high security air missiles base in Bukit Batok overlooking the Straits of Johore and pasted Malaysian stamps on the missiles and replaced the Singapore flag on the commanding officer's table with the Malaysian flag. Several Singapore officers resigned or were reassigned or demoted. The major who carried it out, who is known by his nickame, Sam, is still around and in the business."
I like this comment: you are really cute : >
the is no missile base anywhere in Singapore, and Bukit Batok is no where near the Straits of Johore
By the way, Sam is American.


10 Even MORE Ads to Disturb & Disgust You!

Volcano finds followers aflutter on Twitter - "Alaska's Mount Redoubt towers more than 10,000 feet above sea level, is an active volcano and can send clouds of ash so high that jetliners could be at risk. Oh, and Redoubt is huge on Twitter."

Steampunk Segway Looks Much Cooler Than The Original

I'm Still Working On Being Offended - "The National Organization of Women has come up with a bunch of ads we're all supposed to find terribly offensive to women, like this Dolce & Gabbana ad, which supposedly shows a woman being gang-raped by a bunch of guys, most of whom look preoccupied with whether they did their ab crunches before they left the house. Um...if five buff gay men are actually going to gang-rape anyone...I don't think that person will have a vagina... If the pictures are what cause violence, how come, as Gad Saad points out in his recently published book, with "exponential growth in the availability of sexually explicit materials available on the Internet from 1995 to 1999, the rate of forcible rape (as obtained from FBI data) during that period has steadily declined"?"

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex and Were Not Afraid to Ask: From the first porno movie to the "a-spot" to the world's oldest sex toy, our columnist tackles a decade's worth of your bedroom conundrums - "Q: What's the deal with pinching nipples? All these how-to books say it's something women enjoy... but whenever I've done it, the only sound I've elicited is a yelp. There must be something I'm missing.
A: Ask yourself, Was I pinching nipples in the heat of the moment, or was I doing it in line at Urban Outfitters? Remember, everything is relative: Hanging from meat hooks in a dungeon is a form of torture, but with the right lighting and a DJ, it's a decent Tuesday night."

Strip off worries at new German nudist hotel - "The new hotel in the town of Freudenstadt (German for “City of Joy”) caters only to nudists. And house rules stipulate that guests must strip off when on the premises, according to a report in the Stuttgarter Zeitung newspaper."

Study: Children Exposed To Pornography May Expect Sex To Be Enjoyable | The Onion - "'That's depressing to me. I mean we expect pornographers to teach children about the reality of sex and to teach them that it's anything less than humiliating and frightening experience is wrong.' 'It is, sex leaves you numb and shivering for days.'"

Reflections on Virginia Tech - "The gun nuts’ thesis is unlikely to be tested. Few teachers would feel comfortable in a gun-filled classroom. How do you give an “F” grade to an armed adolescent?... With hindsight, it is easy to blame the university for not taking her concerns more seriously. But what, exactly, should it have done? The warning signs were hardly conclusive. Until the last two-and-a-half hours of his life, the killer committed no crimes. He stalked some female students, but they did not press charges. When Ms Roy first heard about the massacre, she did not guess that the killer was her former pupil. He was not the only creepy young man on campus. Ms Roy describes another student who scared people by, for example, anonymously posting a poem celebrating the rape of a disabled woman to a teacher’s door. As far as Ms Roy knows, this student never hurt anyone. “The assumption that it is easy to identify potential threats is faulty; almost all the students who write about homicide have absolutely no intention of killing anyone,” she says."
The last always applies in hindsight, as people cry out 'why wasn't anything done?!', ignoring all the false positives

Metrosexual, retrosexual & now 'neosexuals' - "First there were the SNAGs (sensitive new age guys), then came the metrosexuals, retrosexuals and now, the latest male breed making ladies go weak in the knees is 'neosexual'. A typical neosexual has been identified as one having shrugged off the femininity of the metrosexual and returned to his more masculine, primitive roots. A research, which was commissioned by a deodorant company, found 81 percent of females wanted guys to be sensitive without losing masculinity... "They want the manliness of a James Bond, the looks of Hugh Jackman, the humour of Jim Carrey and the youth of Zac Efron," he added."
Women are impossible to satisfy. On the other hand, men want the breasts of Pamela Anderson, the figure of Claudia Schiffer, the nose of Jessica Alba, the home skills of Martha Stewart, the sweetness of Miley Cyrus and the sexual appetite of Annabel Chong
