Map gallery of Religion distribution in USA

The site has many of the Religion resident living in America according to percentage.
They are Christian, Presbyterian, Catholic, Mormon and even Muslim.

Quite useful, I felt, because if you plan to go or live in that certain area for a long duration, it is good to be aware of your neighbourhood.This is also specially useful for those rac**t, who cannot stand people of other faith.

I would very much like to suggest Singapore to have map like this, not only it is a nifty information for urban development planning, but imagine how useful it will be to have such intelligent before ah... let say, a Political campaign.

Not to mention others. (Link)

Meeting of two extreme persona

I can still roughly remembered that my Mum use to tell me, please find a girl with my same character, so that my marriage would be blissful and full of joy.
Wrong Mum! But who ever listen to their Mum anyway, she said keep your purity before marriage, you end up pregnant first, she said stay out of trouble, you end up losing your soul……

That is the different case with nature; the universe never defiles its own law.

This is a picture of two extreme gravity planets about to collide into each other, what happen then, before they become one, the emit such beautiful graviton wave pattern that is only meaningful to Human eyes, and then they become a greater entity. (Link)

The only contradictory “things” here is us.

Smoking facts are so heavy

I overheard this conversation at a bus stop.

"The docter said that every cigarette you take shorten your life by 5 minutes." "How true!"
"But hor! if someone smoke 1 packet daily(20 sticks), then every 3 days he would burn away 1 day, right?"
"So?"
"How can that be true! if.................."


The bus is here, so I didn't get the full conversation.

And if you think by accumulating tar in you lung doesn't shake you, than perhaps this will:

Scientist has just discovered other than nicotine, there are also 3 kinds of cancer causing pesticides, use for killing human, not insect, contain within this "heaven stick".

Might as well take a sip of baygon each day hor! (Link) via LiveScience

People Critics: King of the Ocean

Despite of all the negative publicity, controversial opinion and "not so good" view points from various religion groups, especially tratitional Christian and Catholic, The Rev Sun Myung Moon and his family were not only unshaken but continue to rise in their public profile.
Is it time for people to really study about the lifestyle and teachings of him?

Base on the research from the internet, there are still many critics relentlessly attacking him on a daily basis, according to my understanding, many of this people are like Moby Dick, like ex-member or people who love ones are or were in the organization.

Famous ones are Steve Hassan and Craig Maxim, who claim that they know some much about the church that they leave it for good. They now become the greatest critics and cult exit expert, but they have their own critics too.

Even in the news group, there are few critics, Robboy being the most enthusiastic hunter, constantly stalking the members in the ARU, as old as our old guards, I wonder whether he will live to see his will be done.

In spite of all the critics, Rev Moon is still able to make it to the main stream media. The most recent one – King of the Ocean has got some attention from the public, seem like people will soon start to really question what he is doing. (Link) via Chicago Tribune

By far I know, the only nation in the world that ban the Unification Church aka HSA-UWC, is Singapore. (Link)

How history would remember Mother Teresa

Or maybe how we will look at Paris Hilton in a different way......
Although I don't know so much about Mother Teresa, but how can it be right to put this two extremely different persona together?

That why I never trust when movie try to protray history or historical figure. When you see Mother Teresa, you think about the Creator, is there any notion of sex appeal?

Dumb idea! Mr T. Rajeevnath, but don't worry, surely my kids can tell how bad it could be. (Link)

The Pregnant Robot that teaches you everything about bearing a child

LiveScience: She carry the baby for the sake of the whole world.
Maybe not entirely true, but for the sake of the medical student at USA at least. She is lifelike and programmed for various complication of childbirth, sometimes in labour for few hours, sometimes deliver in a mere few minutes, she is very unpreditable.

Whats more, she will even give birth to a heathly pink looking baby doll after that. (Link)
