Philosophical post, Vinegar Taster, thoughts and rants

Come across a post which makes me rethink about Philosophy and Humanity. Jack Lilly of Druid Journal comment about Vinegar Taster (三酸图),

"often wondered what Jesus would be doing in this painting. Would he scowl in anger, as he did at the money-changers in his father’s temple? Would he react with indifference, as when he callously said “You’ll always have the poor, you won’t always have me”? Or would he smile, as when … hmmm… did he ever smile? … "

Did he ever smile..? Can you imagine a man who knew he is about to accomplish the greatest task in humanity history, don’t smile? I am quite intrigue with such kind of thinking, and revisiting historical event.

The Fast, Comic on 7 days of food deprivation

Ok, the real 7-day-fast is living on plain water, that’s right, not even milk or fruit juice for 24X7. But these streams of cartoon can bring back many fun, and not so fun memories. I like this one.

Why you should pay Blogger more

Over at Men With Pens,

“When bloggers blog, they constantly open and close applications in their brain. Your brain can, technically, only focus on one thing at any given moment. One thing is easier to focus on than multiple things in rapid succession. What we call multi-tasking is actually your brain switching from one thing to another in rapid succession.”

Fake Terminator movie’s comment on IMDB

“The Terminators” is such a crap movie; I even give the producer credit for his courage to showcase it. I totally agree with the comment on IMDB,

“Every Teletubbie serial has more class and intelligence. It would make sense for a full drunken audience, but even filled with four bottles of wine I for myself would rather prefer to view a George Bush honor feature.”

How to feel miserable and end your life early

Ali Hale from Dumb Little Man has 10 great ways for you who felt that your life is too blessed. Here are the points,

Turn every little problem into disaster
Don’t solve them
Worry about things you have absolutely no power over
Let your problem pile up
Blame on everyone and everything
Torture yourself
Complain, whine and grumble
Refuse all help
Find excuses, don’t fight your laziness
Never take a break

I would like to add few more points. You can drink every night, sleep late, eat as much as you like and stop exercising. If you are still living after couple of years, buy yourself a can of insecticide.
