What form of government we want to create

Mr Carlson of US pointed to us a very informative video, in which it illustrates the different form of government. This video is made for American. I found it useful for citizen of any nation, particularly now, when Singaporean is already talking about the post era of our Minister Mentor Lee Kwan Yew.

I didn’t know what Oligarchy is before watching this. Thanks!

Photos of Chickenpox treatment in Russia

Ok, this is a bit NSFW. But I like the way they have fun with the treatment. What is that green thing?

Your acceptance of new idea means that you are open minded?

My favorite quote this week, from Bertrand Russell,
“If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.”

Open mindedness is simply the most difficult behavior a person can develop. What you believe now is actually a sub set of facts which you already have deep inside your conscience

Great Chinese book series at Popular

I am friend of Popular Book Store. I mean, I love their stuff. They re-designed, evolved in the recent year, into a book store which never failed to provide good books for locals.

I got this recommendation from a friend last week. Great series, Confucius teaching with simplify Chinese and Hanyupingyin (汉语拼音).

3 points I think you might enjoy this series,

You have kids and you want to teach them Chinese better than French.
You want to learn Chinese that is beyond the local TV.
You think Chinese is cool.

To further your enthusiasm, these books are sold at below SGD10 each, includes a CD, and Popular book store no frill packaging. It is running out fast as I type this.

Current Internet censorship in China has sparked a little Netizen campaign themed “Dressed Up the Famous Art”. This is my favorite. All benevolent, no nude. Happy?

Remarkable photo of a man running away from some kind of explosion

This is a photo rumors from Gaza, which was blasted and blasted. Can anyone confirm? (Original source)

Punny HowTo: tips for using a squat toilet.

Although I have stopped using since 16, I can still remembered how difficult it was to get use to one. It was just unnatural. You will need to followings,

Strong thighs
An ability to hold your breath
Toilet paper
Hand sanitizer gel

This is a hole in the ground that may or may not include a flushing system. You have to practice famous martial art like taiji to master the technique. Just hilarious!

Why are we still asking these ancient questions?

Down at SammyBoy forum(Sexual oriented), someone ask this,

How did God come into existence?
Which God is it?
Does this God care for all Human Beings that are essentially good people?
How does god manage to cater for the tens of thousands of small children dying daily and painfully from starvation and thirst?
Also does it matter what religion these children were going to be indoctrinated with had they lived?
Do all animals have souls, or is this the exclusive right for the human animal?
Is God a English, Chinese, Jewish, Indian or any other race?

Serious? You go SammyBoy forum to look for the almighty. Well, good luck!

解梦

我为你解梦吧
如果那是不美丽的
让我为它穿上花嫁裳

我为你解梦吧
如果那是很遥远的
让我为它造一条快船

我为你解梦吧
如果那是很迷惘的
让我为它指出方向

多湾的河流 总会达到港湾
多遥远的星相 也会有个太阳

我为你解梦吧
如果那是很空白的
让我为它画上彩霞

我为你圆梦吧
如果那是很完美的
让我使它亘永

始乱之，终弃之。我已告诉我你的语言有什么价值了。

先讲一个宗教笑话。有个年轻人，情场商场皆失意，人财两空后，想到要求神拜佛。他来到了一个庙，看到很大尊观音菩萨雕像前面，跪着一个人，双掌合什，闭目而喃喃。年轻人好奇的问：“噫！你不是观音菩萨吗？我来这里是求神帮我的，你来做什么？” 观音回答：“我也是来求神拜佛的呀！” 年轻人更好奇了：“你。。你不就观世音菩萨吗？” 观音笑道：“求人不如求己嘛。”

还有一个历史笑话。有一天汉高祖上朝，看见满朝文武百官，东一堆，西一群，都在窃窃私语。他很奇怪的问张良，张良不动声色：“大王，他们正在讨论造反。”　刘邦大失所色，忙问为什么。张良正色说：“大王正位后，分封不公，只对自家族系特别优厚，大家当然不满。造反是迟早的问题。” 刘邦急忙请教。张良就献上了一策。

刘邦后来有没有接纳张良的意见？张良，韩信的事迹如何？天下的事，也不过如此。

要爱华文，实在不是件容易的事，不说华语音难发，华文像画斗符一样难写，现在要再提倡华文，好像叫人去爱一对从来没生或养过的父母般，难也！前阵子不是有新加坡的女歌手在台湾被嘲弄过吗？

我在网上看到许多西方国家的人嘲笑华文，多数都拿发音或翻译来搞笑。不过有一句华文谚语，不知你有没有听过？十年河东转河西，莫笑穷人穿破衣。

记得小学时，有一位同学用英文作弄人，那位播佛摸佛背景的同学还搞不懂怎么一回事，只听到笑声。那位叔叔脸上是什么怪怪的表情嘛？

我国现在的新移民，有一百多万，占总人口的四份之一。

十年后，你认为以上的故事，会不会变成你的呢？

语文，还不如宗教，能得意多久呢？

最后再讲一则故事。以前，鸡蛋不多，喜欢到处旅行，有一天来到了欺伪果园，所有的欺伪果都笑他浑身光秃秃，没有一根毛。鸡蛋非常努力的学习，还是不能长毛，当地人不能接受他，只好暗然的离开了。若干年后，此起彼落。一粒欺伪果来到鸡蛋皇朝，那边有比他果园更多更好十倍的鸡蛋。。。

我还没有想到结局。。。

Scientist discovered flight theory that can reduce drag on cylinder

It turn out, wing of bird was very well designed, er, evolved. According to New Scientist’s report and Journal of Fluid Mechanic, the vibration of some convert feathers on bird’s wing reduce drag on the wing significantly by sticking up at right angles to the surface. This finding, allows researcher to create synthetic feathers as rigid keratin bristles 4 to 6 centimetres long and 0.5 millimetres in diameter which can reduce drag on cylinder by 15%. Quote fro NS,

“With the feathers, the low-pressure slipstream does not form, and the vortices affecting the cylinder are weaker.”

(Link)NS, Fake feathers could take the drag out of flights.

Ben 10 Final Alien mockery

I love this final alien of Ben 10, where he transforms into the most powerful being in the whole universe. This omnipotent 3 in 1 cannot get anything done. Rage and Aggression is against the extinction of dinosaur. Love and compassion sez, “I am sad about Earth is going to be destroyed”.

Ben Tennyson (The voice of reason) sez, “You guys are useless, you don’t do anything! Let me out!”

This Alien X, is just another cartoon hor? No subliminal message hor.

(Video)Youtube. Ben 10 Alien X. You don’t get to hear the final conversation.
