| TIDBITS This quiz was on Oprah several months ago. The 1st two are True or False. Good Luck The questions are first with the answers at the bottom. Don't you dare scroll and peak at the answers. 1. Dogs can only see in black and white. 2. Black boxes in airplanes are really black. 3. After age 20, how many brain cells do you loose a day? Multiple choice: a. 5000 b. 15,000 c. 50,000 4. Why do people say "bless you" after someone sneezes? 5. Why are barns red? 1. False--dogs can see in color: However, you don't want them picking out your wardrobe. They can see green, yello & blue quite well. 2. False--they are bright orange: If they were black, you couldn't find them 3. 50,000--you probably lost a couple hundred just answering this question. Keep your mind exercised 4. They say it is for protective measures, because rumor is: Your Soul pops out when you sneeze and You heart stops when you sneeze 5. This goes back hundreds of years, because farmers used to make their own paint with a combination oflinseed oil, milk and rust. They put the rust in to stop the mold, but gave it a red color. It became a tradition. |
Could She Really Have Lived in the Jungle Alone for 19 Years?
Even the locals in Cambodia are skeptical of this story yet it's been around the Internet and in various publications for some time.
Rochom P'ngieng was eight years old when she disappeared from her family home. Now, at age 27, a woman who cannot properly speak the language and who is said to sleep all day while staying awake at night, has been found by her family. They know it is her by an identifying scar.
I've read lots of tales of doubt about this young woman and yet there is something odd going on here.
Some in the village suggest the woman's hair shows signs of cutting, rather difficult in the jungle. Social workers and psychologists state that a child simply could not survive so many years alone in a jungle.
From Foxnews.com:
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — A woman who disappeared in the jungles of northeastern Cambodia as a child has apparently been found after living in the wild for 19 years, police said Thursday.
This woman is getting plenty of attention and soon enough, should a farce be discovered, we'll know the truth. My question is, if she wasn't in the jungle since she went missing 19 years ago, where the hell was she?
The Famed Psychic Is a Fraud? Say It Ain't So!
Along with the amazing story of the discovery of not one, but TWO missing boys in Mike Devlin's humble apartment, we have the story of famed psychic Sylvia Browne who publicly declared young Shawn Hornbeck was dead and his cold lifeless body was in a copse of woods she evidently could see with her psychic vision.
From the Daily News:
Montel Williams' psychic pal Sylvia Browne told the family of missing Shawn Hornbeck he was dead shortly after the Missouri boy vanished - and later allegedly offered to help locate his body for $700 per half hour.
The popular TV clairvoyant appeared on the "Montel Williams Show" in February 2003, four months after Shawn disappeared, and told Pam and Craig Akers she believed their son was "no longer with us."
She also advised that his body could be found in a wooded area 20 miles from their Richwoods, Mo., home, near two large jagged boulders.
Adding to Browne's error is the report that Browne phoned Hornbeck's parents and offered to find their son's body for a mere $700 an hour.
The stories about Browne and her many flubs are numerous. I've read reports that she stated firmly that all of the miners in the Sago mine disaster were alive then flip-flopped immediately when all but one were found dead in that mine. There's been others. Below is a video of yet another false lead by Sylvia Browne.
The Steepest Street Incline on the Planet
If you thought such a street would surely be in San Francisco, you would be wrong.
Baldwin St. is recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as the Steepest street in the world. It has a maximum gradient of 1m in 2.86m (191).
This means for every 2.86 metres horizontal it goes up vertically 1 metre The quiet suburban street of Baldwin Street, in New Zealand's southern city of Dunedin, located in the suburb of North East Valley, 3.5 kilometres northeast of Dunedin's city centre.
The street is the venue for an annual event in Dunedin, the "Baldwin Street Gutbuster". Every summer since the mid-1990s (usually in February), this exercise in fitness and balance involves athletes running from the bottom of the street to the top and back down again.
The event attracts over a thousand competitors each year.
Since 2002, another charity event has been held annually in July, which involves the rolling of over 10,000 Jaffas (spherical chocolates covered in a solid red coating). Each jaffa is sponsored by a person, with prizes to the winner and funds raised going to charity.
Mamas and Papas' Denny Doherty Dead At Age 66
By my account, Michelle Phillips is the only member of the group still alive. John Phillips died in 2001, Cass Elliott died at a very young age 32 from a heart attack caused by, as scuttlebutt has it, overeating. Now the other male member of the group is dead.
Sad. At least sad as this humble Blogger sees it because I grew up with the music of the Mamas and Papas.
From Yahoo.com:
MISSISSAUGA, Ont. - Denny Doherty, one-quarter of the 1960s folk-rock group the Mamas and the Papas, known for their soaring harmony on hits like "California Dreamin'" and "Monday, Monday," died Friday at 66.
His sister Frances Arnold said the singer-songwriter died at his home in Mississauga, a city just west of Toronto, after a short illness. He had suffered kidney problems following surgery last month and had been put on dialysis, Arnold said.
We must suppose the three deceased members of the group are all "California Dreaming" in heaven.
That "Strange" Radio Stunt
I covered the story of that California radio station that sponsored a contest that required contestants to drink large amounts of water with no bathroom breaks on this Blog HERE.
I wanted to include a quip about this case in the Pop Culture post because if anything shouts Pop Culture it has to be this unusual story.
First, why didn't those shock jocks check out their plan with health consultants? This, ladies and gems, would be "Running a Business 101".Second, one shock jock shouted a derisive "We're not worried, we've got waivers" to a caller who suggested the contest could be very dangerous.
Well this will go over well in the public eye. Jennifer Strange was the mother of three children and she really wanted to win a hard-to-obtain Nintendo game for her kids. She didn't know that such a huge ingestion of water in such a short time could be dangerous and frankly ladies and gems, neither would I.
See, some things are common sense. If the radio station was sponsoring a contest involving, say, strapping on a parachute and jumping over a distant mountain range out of an airplane 3000 feet in the air, hey, this sort of thing would be understood as involving a bit of personal risk.
But drinking water?
I am considered at least a somewhat intelligent and well-read woman by those who know me and by my admittedly rather unscientific survey of others in my surround, quite a few people are unaware that drinking large quantities of water can kill you.
That cavalier statement by the giggling shock jock that all is fine, that they have waivers for God's sake, well it sounds cruel as hell after the fact and with a mother of three now dead. I even suggest that this whole matter could turn into a criminal matter, although I rather doubt it.
Likely that radio station's insurance company is peeing its corporate pants because somebody's going to have to pay big bucks. It's very possible that the radio station might have its license pulled for using public airwaves to endanger the public.

The Certified Biggest Boobs in the World
The question here is, are they real?
I have seen plenty of pics of big breasts throughout the years since the Internet came along and allowed such pics to be delivered directly into our E-boxes. Many of them were way bigger than the lady in the pic above.
She is holding a certification from the Guiness Book of World Records which might even be real. Thus in the interest of science and accurate recordation of history, I insert this pic for serious study.
