Think about this: A man is sitting at a football game with a portable TV set tuned to the game. The TV station showing the game picks up his image and the image is sent from the cameras, to the satellite, to a TV transmitter miles away where the image is sent back through the airwaves and back onto the man’s TV set. The man sees himself and the image is picked up from the pupils of the eyes and is sent to the brain. The brain will then send signals to the man’s arms to start waving. The image is sent from the TV set back through the airwaves, to a satellite, to a transmitter where it is sent to a TV set thousands of miles away where the man’s family is watching the game. The man’s mother sees the image on TV and the image is picked up by her pupils in her eyes and is sent to the brain where the hippocampus is stimulated and memory takes place. Then the brain sends signals to the woman’s teeth, tongue, lips, mouth, and voice box to where she can now say, “Look, it’s Mike!”

The Legendary Golfer Contributes to the Medical Field
The Legendary golfer, Tiger Woods, has indeed failed his career due to his scandalous behavior.
The media successfully took an advantage of his affairs with a nightclub manager and several other mistresses, sabotaging his reputation mercilessly.
Since then, Tiger Woods has been taking a break from his career.
During his free time, he joined Pine Grove Behavioral Health and Addiction Services with a hope of treating his sex addiction.
Of course, his program was not free, at all.
On the bright side, his celebrity status succeeded to add popularity to this program, exponentially encouraging people to voice their symptoms of sex addiction.
Apparently, this “illness” can be “diagnosed.”
Vogue Tells Something More
Adjusting to different regions had always been my challenge.
Let me scratch, I mean adjusting to different “fashion.”
When I lived in my hometown in South Korea, different layers of clothing, matching accessories and intricate designs had been the major Asian style of dressing.
During my several years of residence in Southern California, the sunny weather helped me to define my “So Cal” fashion: thin layers of clothes, traditional pair of Rainbow flip-flops, and sunglasses.
As I entered a boarding school in Connecticut, “prep” was the word for my outfit. Blazers with khaki pants, classic patterned skirts, simple dresses, and pearl earrings had helped me to abide my school rules: knee-length skirts, shoes with heels, and no jeans.
Silent Revolution
An amazing new art project called “Silent Revolution” has just been installed at Isla de Mujeres, Mexico. The project is an artificial reef. The reef is made of 400 life size concrete people. The project has taken 18 months. The underwater people range from small children to old people. The project cost $250,000 to make and is now a prime tourist spot. Tourists can now go scuba diving and marvel at the underwater museum.
The Tubes.
The tube network is a fascinating phenomenon. The tracks that twist, wind and cross are created to amaze. How I wonder at the engineering brilliance of such a system. Thirteen routes, corresponding in unison. Simultaneously one after another, timed to perfection, the ideal mode of transport for many who walk the bustling streets of the suburbs.
You are the ideal way to get around, the fastest, yet the busiest. At rush hour your walls are fit to burst yet never do you fail. You are strong and reliable, quick and easy. Still you scare and startle. The 07/07/2005 haunts you halls. Yet still you roam the streets of London. You are there at my call, if not at my beckon. I’m always aware of you around. The electronic numbers signify your arrival. The headlights show you are here.
Oh London tubes you do make me marvel at your splendor.
The London Tubes are a network of both underground and out of ground trains, created primarily to take people around the city of London. The network consists of 13 lines, which travel all over the capital. The tubes are a quick efficient system, which get you where you need to be on time, connecting with regular trains to make any journey simple.
The London tubes are definitely the way to travel whilst visiting London and I believe the revolutionary system should be encouraged more worldwide.
ROCKY 4
Here’s a special review of one of my favorite films of all time, Rocky 4. Now, the movie opens with Rocky defeating Clubber Lang, and Rocky and Apollo’s famous scene in the ring. Rocky is a famous, wealthy boxing legend who has a new friendship with his former rival Apollo Creed. This film starts out with a charming scene with Paulie’s birthday celebration. He get’s a robot who is apparently fully functional and even brings him a cake. It can talk as well. Now that was 1985, it’s 2010. Do you know anyone today who owns a robot?
Mauritania Wants Obesity
“You are fat.”
I am almost certain that most women around the world want to avoid this title except for the ones in the northwestern region of Africa.
Fascinatingly, Mauritania considers obesity as an intricate beauty symbol.
Since young age, females from this place are pressured to stuff themselves with fattening foods. Their parents encourage them to gain weight constantly. Believe or not, vomit is even considered to be “natural” and “good.” They also intentionally increase their weight before marriage to satiate their “lovers’” taste.
This practice seems odd. However, this tradition is something to be reflected much more gravely.
An increasing number of these women are experiencing health threats and are becoming mentally traumatized by the societal demands.
Thankfully, younger generation seems to be less committed to this practice and some organizations initiated their help to educate these victims the healthy ways to live.
Unfortunately, this case divulges no vast difference from the case of most young women from other nations where the desire to thin out is choking numerous women out of their lives.
Please girls and women, you decide the right ways to live.
We are little Britain
Britain is unbelievably the ninth largest island in the world. It is an island that consists of the weird yet wonderful. It may be small but it’s definitely not short of entertainment. Walk around the streets of London and you are bound to see something obscene, something that will make you shocked, smile or laugh.
Stereotypes are common, yet rare. With a population of around 60 million, the island is definitely overflowing with entertainment. We as citizens acknowledge the uniqueness of the kingdom, priding it for it’s distinctive character.
Those strange citizens among us are free to be who they want to be, living free without any restraints. This is partially because of the extremely open and accepting nature of the country, but also because of the endless possibilities the island offers us. Britain is home to all sorts of oddballs. Put it this way, there is no way of determining the normal character. Everyone is too different.
As they say the people are what make a party and it’s the diverse citizens of Britain that makes us what we are. Great.
We are little Britain.
Here is a clip to show you some of the great citizens of our country. I hope you enjoy.
Questions
We’re asked questions everyday.
“What’s your name?”
“Did you bring the homework to class?”
“Are you going to finish that?”
“How are you today?”
Many of the questions we answer are pointless, but we choose to give extensive answers anyways.
“My name’s Harold, you see, because my great-great-great grandfather had this pet crocodile who…”
“Well, Mr. Smith, I didn’t bring my homework to class because, on my way over, I was attacked by a vicious…”
“Of course not, I’ve been counting my calories lately and…”
“I’m doing great! I got a new dog and I named it snuffles. Not because she snuffles a lot but because she…”
Why do we answer questions so thoroughly? Wait, don’t answer that.
One day, I want to ask someone the simple question of “why?”
“Why is your hair that color?”
“Why did you skip over here instead of walk?”
“Why does the human race need oxygen to survive?”
One day, when I ask that question, I don’t want them to answer with:
“My hair is this way because my DNA that I formed in my mothers womb…”
“I just saw this really cool movie where the main character only had the ability to skip because…”
“Well, when the lungs intake certain gasses…”
No, I want them to answer with:
“Why not?”
“Why is the sky blue?”
“Why not?”
Skins
Yes the U.S have gone and done it. You’ve stolen one of our great British programs and created your own version. How could you! Well actually I suppose it’s quite easy. Ok, that slightly defeats my message….
Lets start again, how could you recreate a typically British program in America. I understand Skins is a brilliant drama but why would you defeat the object of the program being British, and Americanize it?
