And yes it’s true. Apparently, in Atheron, close to Queensland’s tropical north, this spider was caught eating a bird!

Yummy!

I seriously have no idea how these guys (i assume it’s a male) think… should I call it amazing wit, or a really filthy mind? haha…

I personally love the “Practice” one.

As of now, I can’t wait to type something like this:

Dear Co-Workers and Managers,

As many of you probably know, today is my last day. But before I leave, I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know what a great and distinct pleasure it has been to type “Today is my last day.”

For nearly as long as I’ve worked here, I’ve hoped that I might one day leave this company. And now that this dream has become a reality, please know that I could not have reached this goal without your unending lack of support. Words cannot express my gratitude for the words of gratitude you did not express.

Man, check out this 1-click site. It’s soooooo simple, but so darn funny, i almost fell out of my office chair.

I swear, you gotta see it. I swear, you GOTTA see this!

Hmm i don’t usually do these silly quizzes, but a friend’s result turned out pretty funny and the obituary thing was really striking at my curiosity so i did check it out:

Finally after many miserly years, Garry Huang died with a small grimace. He will be terribly missed by the guys at the Legion.

Quietly in a modern art museum, Garry died before telling anyone where they buried their treasure. Garry will be terribly missed by many a local transsexual prostitute.

Ah wells. See your future newspaper ad here.

And it looks like Singaporeans have the fastest walking speeds, and thus the busiest pace of life, in the world! We took 10.5 seconds to walk 18m, in a survey conducted worldwide.

We need to do something about this… I won’t want to be a hard and fast streetwalker, now would you?

Nevermind if you missed the joke.

Someone emailed me this - I think it originated from digg.

1. You’re probably very smart.
2. It’s hip to be geek. Everyone is familiar with the stereotype of thick glasses, a pocket protector, an obsession with star trek, and social skills akin to a sack of potatoes. Times have changed: geeks are often fashionable, hip individuals who are very aligned with the trends of their own generation
3. You geek out on more than just your computer.  Ever seen the movie collection of a film geek?  Ever had an automotive geek work on your car?  Ever seen the body of a fitness geek?  The tenacity of someone like us, when applied to hobbies outside computers and the like, can yield impressive results.
4. Geek humor is the best humor. This is perhaps a biased opinion, but I’ve never laughed as hard as I have while reading some of the random, funny things that came out of geek culture.
5. You listen to good music. Geeks have access to tools that allow us to hear music that extends well beyond top 40 radio. Want the entire discography of Aphex Twin by tomorrow afternoon? Ask a geek. Not only do they listen to good music, they can find just about anything you’re looking for in a heartbeat.
6. You make good money. If there’s one stereotype about geeks that usually rings true, it’s that they rarely have trouble earning a decent income.
7. You fix stuff. Everyone loves a handyman, especially one that can fix one of the most frustrating devices ever conceived: a personal computer.
8. You’ve got your own stuff going on. You’ll never meet a geek who runs out of things to do, they’ve got lots of hobbies and interests and are more than happy to dive head first into one of those when they’ve got some spare time. In other words: they won’t rely on you to give them a life.
9. You’re very articulate. Compulsively reading a few hundred RSS feeds a day yields a vocabulary that could put most college English majors to shame.
10. You’re passionate. When a geek becomes interested in something, they tend to immerse themselves in it entirely. They’ll strip a new gadget down to nuts and bolts and re-build it with an xhtml compliant grappling gun. This intense passion can extend to many areas of a geek’s life, not just computers and hobbies.

Go GEEKS!

Hilarious article from a Microsoft champion, who starting using M$’s products when I did… at MS-DOS 5.1. No, actually, I started at MS-DOS 3.22, but that’s another story.

But this guy, who makes his living out of Microsoft’s technologies and defends Microsoft religiously, does so anyway! How apt for a Microsoft that’s spiraling downwards…

Oh, it’s about Microsoft’s answer to Google’s Adwords, for the internet marketers reading my blog. $100 worth of free advertising! Check it out, use it, and get the hell away after that.

Bangkok, Thailand - The only way out of Yangon was either to Changmai or Bangkok, and at USD$15 apart, i figured I’d fly to Bangkok since it was nearer to the place i was eventually heading to (Singapore). Bangkok was very deja vu. I’d been here so many times since I was a kid, but never remembered where or when, so it was interesting stepping into places and then suddenly realizing that this, here, was where i came when i was a kid!
