Snooze Button Addicts Defeated By Runaway Clock

Can't seem to get out of bed in the morning because you are addicted to the snooze button?

US inventors have come up with an alarm clock that will wake even the heaviest sleeper.

"Clocky" is an alarm that rolls off your bedside table and zooms away on its wheels when you hit the snooze button.

It then hides on some other part of the room so when the snooze button goes off, you have to get up and find it.

And to trick the most dedicated dozer, it finds a new hiding place each day.

The alarm clock, which is featured in this week's New Scientist journal was invented by scientists at Massachusetts institute of Technology.

Well, this is an interesting invention and one day people won't have a reason to be late for morning activities... ^^

Chocs Show Soft Centres

The chocolates you choose are a guide to your personality, a British study has revealed.

The most striking finding was that life-and-soul-of-the-party types preferred very sweet centres and shy people opted for bitter-sweet ones.

The poll of 1000 people by Woolworths found these links:
- Nuts: Laid-back, but methodical, tend to think first then act.
- Coconut: Perfectionists and thinkers. Quiet.
- Coffee: Thoughtful, but tend to let others make decisions.
- Fudge: Act first, think later. Easy going at work. Sociable and popular.

Love's Exquisite Freedom

Love arrives;
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain
Yet, it we are bold
Love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
We dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
And will ever be
Yet, it is only love
which sets us free.

At Day's End

Is anybody happier because you passed his way?
Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today?
Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you?
Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that's slipping fast,
That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed.
Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said;
Does the man whose hopes were fading, now with courage look ahead?
Did you waste the day, or lose it? Was it well or sorely spent?
Did you leave a trail of kindness, or a scar of discontent?
As you close your eyes in slumber, do you think that God will say, "You have earned one more tomorrow by the work you did today?"

Engrish Two Towers Subtitles

"Engrish is a slang term which refers to an English language phrase that arose through poor translation of another language (usually Japanese) into English, or sometimes, poor translation of English into another language followed by good translation back into English. This used to be a frequent occurrence with product manuals, which might say something like "to make speed up find up out document", but it's less frequent today. Another source of poor translation is an unchecked machine-produced translation, such as that from the Babelfish service."

It's damn funny!! A must see.... ^^ I almost chocked myself to death while reading dis and drinking at the same time...

Sex and Calories

How much weight do we lose during sex?

Diet literature explains calories burned while jogging, playing tennis or golfing, but similar information concerning sexual activity has, until now, been unavailable.

Yet, a survey of 206,000,000 people indicated that 96% devote more time and effort to sex than jogging, tennis, or golf, and we felt that the time was right for a new type of sex manual.

EXAMPLES:

1 hr. intensive foreplay burns off: 1 slice (large) chocolate cake.

25 min. nonstop lovemaking burns off: 2 slices of pizza with cheese & mushrooms.

53 min. of kissing partner burns off: 1 cheeseburger with 14 french fries.

KEEPING A JOURNAL Maintaining your own record of sexual activity will be helpful for keeping track of weight loss. You needn't go into detail, just list the activity and the number of calories burned. A typical entry in a woman's journal (for example) for a pleasant low-key sexual experience might read as follows:

Welcome to Uncyclopedia, the free encyclopedia of politically incorrect non-information.

Uncyclopedia is an encyclopedia full of misinformation and utter lies. It's sort of like Congress. It serves absolutely no purpose, so feel free to add to the misinformation right now!

And for the love of Mr. Potato Head, we know you like disarray, but stop adding confusion to this page to spite the disclaimer.

Computers Go Organic

Popeye always knew spinach was an excellent energy source and now computer developers agree.

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the University of Tennessee and the US Naval Research Laboratory have developed a spinach-based material to coat portable computers and mobile phones.

The aim: for the electrical devices to recharge themselves from sunlight, similar to the way plants use clorophyll to convert light into energy. What's next? Carrots? (Well..carats actually). A team at California's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is investigating using diamonds to replace less-resilient silicon chips.

Diamonds are already widely used in manufacturing because of their toughness and heat resistance and could break this impeding computer barrier withing then years.

You might need to add some extra zeroes onto the price of your PC, though.

Words Women Use...

FINE

This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use "fine" to describe how a woman looks - this will cause you to have one of those arguments.

FIVE MINUTES

This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's an even trade.

NOTHING

This means "something," and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with "Fine".

GO AHEAD (With Raised Eyebrows! )

This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine".

GO AHEAD (Normal Eyebrows)

This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care" You will get a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.

LOUD SIGH

This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment, and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing".

SOFT SIGH

Again, not a word, but a non-verbal statement. "Soft Sighs" mean that she is content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe, and she will stay content.

THAT'S OKAY

This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you back for whatever it is that you have done... "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a "Raised Eyebrow."

GO AHEAD!

At some point in the near future, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.

PLEASE DO

This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance with the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay"

THANKS

A woman is thanking you, do not faint ! Just say you're welcome.

THANKS A LOT

This is much different from "Thanks." A woman will say, "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have offended her in some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh." Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh," as she will only tell you "Nothing".

Hopefully by then men will understand women better and be more careful of what they say ^^
