Mayhem Minute & Geek Talk

Hey Folks. ALRO here to, once again, bring you tales of Human Stupidity and Craziness. Near the end, however, i will ragale you with signs of my brilliance as I educate, you the reader, with some Geek Talk!
My first story of interest takes us to Singapore - where, I'm startng to find out how a lot of fucking weird poeple in it (i must go there some day!!!!), where a man has been jailed for 20 years and is to be caned 18 times for .. *gulp* .. SNIFFING ARMPITS.
C'mon man?!? What kinda fucking social life can you possibly have, that is so bad, that you've taken to sniffin' someone sweaty pit?!? *Gag* something in that isn't right! Kinda the same as sniffing ass-crack isn't it?? TO each his own, I guess!

Let's see.. what other insanity is going on in the world, that you just have to know about!??!

Oh yes... This little tid-bit (or terd-bit)... from the Darwin Awards website:

(21 May 2004, Texas) Michael was an alcoholic. And not an ordinary alcoholic, but an alcoholic who liked to take his liquor, well, rectally. His wife said he was "addicted to enemas" and often used alcohol in this manner. The result was the same: inebriation.

The machine shop owner couldn't imbibe alcohol by mouth due to a painful throat ailment, so he elected to receive his favourite beverage via enema. And tonight, Michael was in for one hell of a party. Two 1.5 litre bottles of sherry, more than 100 fluid ounces, right up the old address!

When the rest of us have had enough, we either stop drinking or pass out. When Michael had had enough (and subsequently passed out) the alcohol remaining in his rectal cavity continued to be absorbed. The next morning, Michael was dead.

The 58-year-old did a pretty good job of embalming himself. According to toxicology reports, his blood alcohol level was 0.47%.

In order to qualify for a Darwin Award, a person must remove himself from the gene pool via an "astounding misapplication of judgment." Three litres of sherry up the butt can only be described as astounding. Unsurprisingly, his neighbors said they were surprised to learn of the incident.

Nice going ASS-HAT!!

Now for our Geek Talk.
in the endless search for a good Internet browser, whether you're a M$ hater and love open-source software.. or just looking for something new and cool, i present to you, Opera 9.5.

I've started using Opera full time now, as it give me all the functonality that I get from Avant Browser but tons more stability. Lately, Avant Browser which has been my defacto Browser for nearly 6 years, has become increasingly more unstable. IT locks up alot, doesn't close properly. Sucks up a WHACK of system resources. Granted, Opera can use up a lot of RAM too, but nowhere near as bad as Avant or IE.

Esthetically speaking, it's sexy - and allows you to choose where the Tab Bar is to be placed: Top, Bottom - the side - whatever. Installation is quick and easy. Importing Bookmarks from other browsers is seemless.. but one of the cool features is the "Speed Dial" feature, where when you open a new page, it give you 9 blocks that you set with your 9 most visited websites. For a guy like me - that's awesome!!!

For it's stability, cool features, and a pop-up blocker that actually works -- i love the new opera. It's better than Firefox (which i am NOT a fan of!) and has superceded my love for Avant Browser.

There's your geek talk... and YOUUUUUUURR Mayhem Minute!
Have a good weekend all!
