Punch hole clouds

Punch Hole Clouds may appear as a circular or oval holes in a layer of
supercooled clouds; sometimes they assume a form of a perfect circle and persist
for quite a long time, drifting together with the cloud layer. One explanation
seems to blame the air traffic (the jet contrail intersections) combined with a
thermal inversion (a circular motion of a rising warm air).

5 Sickening Habits of Mainstream Websites

1. Breaking stories in many different pages to increase the number of impressions

2. Using splash pages with ads



3. Not linking to the sources or mentioned websites


4. Using pop-up ads



5. Requiring registration to access the content


Personally I felt that point number 5 is the most sickening habits that many websites practice. First of all, you risk them spamming mails to the email address you provided, waste your time waiting for the confirmation emails in order to finish the registration and after all the hassle, the content might be rubbish or requires you to pay in order to access it. (Students doing research works for their projects should be familiar with these)

Story of a BMW Owner

The other day I was cruising along as usual in my BMW,
coming onto one of my interstates,
which was very busy with inferior cars.
First off, I couldn’t believe that the volume of traffic DIDN’T slow down for me
at all as I came off the exit ramp!
I had to squeeze into a barely big enough gap between
two cars in order to get onto my motorway!
The driver of the car behind me did realize his mistake though
and honked an apology to me with a long blast of his horn.
Unbelievably, I had to do the same again before I could get to the BMW Lane.
Anyway, once I was in the BMW Lane and posing along at 110 mph
enjoying the adulation that the inferior car drivers were giving me,
I noticed an inferior car ahead of me which was not only in the BMW Lane of my motorway,
but was driving at a ridiculous 70 mph!
Naturally, I got within a foot or so of his rear bumper
and flashed my headlights to remind him he
shouldn’t be in the BMW Lane of my motorway and to get out of my way.
Of course, once he realized it was a BMW behind him,
he did just that,
but I could hardly believe it when he pulled straight back out behind me!
He also tried to keep up with me and when he realized I would out-run him,
he put on some blue lights in his front grill and urged me to get onto the hard shoulder
so that he could congratulate me on my excellent car.
Needless to say, I was eager to oblige and when we had stopped,
the man gave me a piece of paper confirming what I already knew -
that my car goes fast!
Apparently he wants everyone to know what a superior car I have,
so I had to take my drivers license to a police station to be sent away
to have some points put on!
(They’re not free points either - they’re $20 each and I was only allowed 3.)
But the man at the police station said that because I drive a BMW,
it wont be much longer before I earn the full 12 points,
and then I won’t even NEED a driving license,
so they will take it off me!
See, now THAT’S the sort of respect you get when you own and drive a BMW!

No Baby Talk!

A group of kindergartners were trying very hard to become accustomed to the first grade.
The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on NO baby talk!
You need to use ‘Big People ‘ words,’ she was always reminding them.She asked John what he had done over the weekend.
‘I went to visit my Nana’.
No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER. Use ‘Big People’ words!’She then asked Mitchell what he had done
‘I took a ride on a choo-choo’.
She said. ‘No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. You must remember to use ‘Big People’ words’.She then asked little Alex what he had done?
‘I read a book’ he replied.
‘That’s WONDERFUL!’ the teacher said.
‘What book did you read?’
Alex thought real hard about it,
then puffed out his chest with great pride, and said……
‘Winnie the SHIT.’

Tips To Fully Utilize Your Digital Camera

With almost everyone (except me) having a camera phone / digital camera. Here are some tips to fully utilize your camera in your daily life.



1. Setting the wall paper of your digital camera with your personal information.
This allows the person who found your camera to be able to return it to you when you lost it. Or it can contain useful information such as blood type, medical conditions should you require some kind of emergency assistance.


2. Parking Lot
Ever found yourself walking around Suntec City or Vivocity carpark looking for your car? Simply snap the carpark landmark/ lot number instead of trying to remember them.


3. Things that you will be repairing
When you decided disassemble your computers or remote control car to fix it, be sure to take a picture on how it look before you started working on it. This will allow you to at least revert any damages that is caused by you "fixing it".


4. License plate numbers
If your car doors kept getting dented by unconsiderate drivers or passenger of the car parking beside you. Take a picture of your "car neighbours". What you want to do to car owner/passenger is up to your imagination.


5. Recipies
If you are making a trip to the supermarket to buy the necessary ingredients for your baking, take a photo of the ingredients list.


6. Mirror
Finally as a mirror just to make sure there are no stucked vegetables in between your teeths.

School Counselor

The new elementary school counselor was eager to help. One day during recess she noticed a girl standing by herself on one side of a playing field while the rest of the kids enjoyed a game of soccer at the other.

She approached and asked if the girl was all right. The girl said she was fine.

A little while later, however, the counselor noticed the girl was in the same spot, still by herself.

Approaching again, she offered, “Would you like me to be your friend?”
The girl hesitated, then said, “Okay,” looking at the woman suspiciously.
Feeling she was making progress, the counselor then asked, “Why are you standing here all alone?”

The little girl heaved a sigh of great exasperation and said, “Because . . . I’m the goalie!”

Doctors Observe First Known Case of Sleep E-Mailing

The incident, set to be published in the medical journal Sleep
Medicine, involves a 44-year-old woman observed by doctors at the University of
Toledo. The woman, they say, got up two hours after dozing off and went right to
her computer. She powered up, logged on, and sent three separate messages.

Things that people while sleeping is getting increasing complex. It used to be sleep-walk, sleep-talk and the most outrageous sleep-sex. (Yup, engaging in sex while sleeping) Now its sending emails. It could be due to the increasing workload we are facing in our daily life, which forces our brain to work even while we are resting.

But hey! Won't it be cool if we can work while we are sleeping, and do the things that we really want to do while awake?

Apple Sun Tan

An owner of a Fuji apple orchard printed up custom stickers of iPods and the Apple logo.

He then put the stickers on his Fuji apples while they were still young and on the trees. A month later after the apples had matured, he removed the
stickers.

As you can see the lack of sun reaching the apple cause them to keep the stickers original design.

I didn't know that the skin of an apple turns red due to sunlight. Works just like a human having a tan!

Albino Creatures

Albinism is a form of hypopigmentary congenital disorder, characterized by a partial or total lack of melanin pigment in the eyes, skin, and hair. Albinism results from inheritance of recessive alleles (genes), and the condition is known to affect mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.

As far as I remember, I've seen only white tigers, white rabbits and white mice before. Life in the fast lane has a great post on 35 rare albino animals. Head over there for more spectacular pictures.

What is Politics?

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, ‘What is Politics?’

Dad says, ‘Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
I am the head of the family, so call me The President.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we ca ll her the Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.
And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense.’

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.

He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
So the little boy goes to his parent’s room and finds his mother asleep.

Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room.

Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny.

He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy say’s to his father, ‘Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.’

The father says, ‘Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.’

The little boy replies, ‘The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is deep in crap.

Physical Therapist

Two women were playing golf. One teed off and watched in horror as her ball headed directly toward a foursome of men playing the next hole. The ball hit one of the men. He immediately clasped his handstogether at his groin, fell to the ground and proceeded to roll around in agony.

The woman rushed down to the man, and immediately began to apologize.
‘Please allow me to help. I’m a Physical Therapist and I know I could relieve your pain if you’d allow me,’ she told him.

‘Oh, no, I’ll be all right. I’ll be fine in a few minutes,’ the man replied. He was in obvious agony, lying in the fetal position, still clasping his hands together at his groin.

At her persistence, however, he finally allowed her to help.

She gently took his hands away and laid them to the side, loosened his pants and put her hands inside.She administered tender and artful massage for several long moments and asked, ‘How does that feel’?

He replied: ‘It feels great, but I still think my thumb’s broken.’

Who's the boss?

The boss was complaining in our staff meeting the other day that he wasn’t getting any respect.

The next day, he brought a small sign that read:
“I’m the Boss!”

He then taped it to his office door.

Later that day when he returned from lunch, he found that someone had taped a note to the sign that said: “Your wife called, she wants her sign back!”

Smart Kids

A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said, ‘Let’s talk. I’ve heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.’

The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, ‘What would you like to talk about?’

‘Oh, I don’t know,’ said the stranger. ‘How about nuclear power?’ and he smiles.

‘OK,’ she said. ‘That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff- grass - . Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?’

The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl’s intelligence, thinks about it and says, ‘Hmmm, I have no idea.’

To which the little girl replies, ‘Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don’t know crap ?

Doctor's Advice: Leave the Toilet Seat Up

Women listen up, for the sake of little boys, please lift the toilet seats up after use.

Apparently toilet-trained toddlers are be keen to show how grown up they are by going to the toilet on their own. And this is when accident can happen, probably the worst that can happen to any male species. That is the heavy wooden and ornamental toilet seats falling down onto the penises of unsuspecting (and just potty-trained) toddlers.

Cancer to Become World's Top Killer

The holiday season is meant to be a time of joy and celebration, but there don't seem to have any positive news on the media these days.

Cancer will overtake heart disease as the world's top killer by 2010, part of a trend that should more than double global cancer cases and deaths by 2030, international health experts said in a report released Tuesday.
An annual rise of 1 percent in cases and deaths is expected — with even larger increases in China, Russia and India. That means new cancer cases will likely mushroom to 27 million annually by 2030, with deaths hitting 17 million.
