Synchronised office swimming
A group of Russian women have become internet stars after performing a synchronised swimming routine - at their desks.
The women, who work for an architects' firm, filmed their routine for an Olympics-themed competition, reports The Sun.
They beat hundreds of other entries to scoop the £3,500 first prize - and their video has attracted more than a million hits on YouTube.
The clip was filmed secretly during lunch breaks. Worker Mosha Dugina said: "We were all really energetic and enthusiastic to do it.
"It was such a breath of fresh air to do something where we got the chance to show off a little and show people that we have beautiful long legs.
"Most of the time we just sit by our desks and all everyone normally sees is our top halves."
Ilya Korneev from competition organisers Affect.ru said: "The competition attracted hundreds of applications, but it was apparent from early on that there was going to be one clear winner.
"We thought that was the finish, but the girls' success continued when the clip went on to Europe. The clip attracted over a million views in its first few weeks."

the meaning of life...
On the first day, God created the dog and said:
'Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.'
The dog said: 'That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?'
So God agreed.
On the second day, God created the monkey and said:
'Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span.'
The monkey said: 'Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?'
And God agreed.
On the third day, God created the cow and said:
'You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.'
The cow said: 'That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?'
And God agreed again.
On the fourth day, God created man and said:
'Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll l give you twenty years.'
But man said: 'Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?'
'Okay,' said God, 'You asked for it.'
So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren.
And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

ok now on to the birds .... ;)
When you think about birds.., you probably think of small, cute animals flying through the air, swooping down to reach their nest. Maybe you think of those “pretty” song birds in the morning. I, personally find them annoying. In any case, the image of a bird generally doesn’t produce anything terrifying.
However, not all birds are cute, and not all of them are nice, so to speak. There are hundreds of birds that could attack a human, and do a lot of damage. While this top ten list may be plenty amusing, it is also plenty true. Here are the top ten birds that can, and maybe will kick your ass!
10. Seagulls
Go to the beach or to an empty parking lot near water, you’ll surely
find a seagull. These white birds with yellow beaks are prone to
swooping down and scaring people. However, seagulls don’t usually
attack, that is unless you get too close to a nest. Seagulls, like most
things in life, are known to protect their young. Try getting close to
a seagull nest. I can assure you you’ll receive a few pecks on the
head. A woman in Britain was actually hospitalized due to a blow to the head that was as deep as the seagulls beak was long.
9. Vultures
This bird is known to prey on small animals and dead animals. If you’ve ever driven by a dead deer or animal, you have probably seen a vulture eating at the carcass or flying around or somewhere near the animal. If you were ever put in a match with a vulture, expect to come out with some serious scratches and deep puncture wounds. These birds have sharp, hooked beaks that are perfect for ripping flesh. If enough vultures attacked you, you can expect to have some of your skin gone.
8. Rhea
Though flightless and not common in the U.S., these birds are extremely strong and are very ostrich-like. You will generally find them in South America. These birds can grow to be up to 60-80lbs. While nowhere near as big as an ostrich, these birds are known for their powerful legs and feet. Their legs are heavily muscled and each foot has an extremely hard spur to accompany it. It is said that if a rhea were to ever kick a human, it would be able to exert around 800 pounds of force per square inch. I’d say that’s enough to break a few bones!
7. Owl
One type of owl that is known to attack prey its own size is the great horned owl. This owl is common in North America and has a wing span of five feet and can weigh more than five lbs. The owl, known for its sharp long talons, can do serious harm to a human, especially if you approach one during mating season or if you get too close to an owl’s nest. These birds will surely leave painful scratches. Owls will have you “hoo hooing” all the way home.
6. Falcon
With razor sharp talons and beaks, a falcon was mastered to do damage to its prey. Because of the way that a falcon’s beak is shaped, it can cut through the spinal cord of its prey. While it might be hard for just one falcon to rip through a human spinal cord, I’m sure if enough of them attacked someone, that person could be in for some serious trouble. If a falcon were to attack you, you’d be left with a bullet-like puncture wound.
5. Hawk
Similar to falcons, hawks are birds of prey and will swoop down to get what they want. There are eye-witness accounts of hawks attempting to attack puppies. Hawks can grip and carry other animals that weigh up to 4lbs. With extremely sharp talons, a hawk attacking a human would surely leave some blood.
4. Eagle
Eagles are just intimidating birds to look at! While eagles aren’t prone to attack humans, they have the capability of attacking and killing a small bear cub, a small dog, and even a decent sized mountain goat. Though eagles don’t usually attack people, they have attacked small children in the past. In May 2008, an eagle attacked a young boy and mangled his body. He had scratches and cuts from the birds sharp claws along his neck, back, and head. Eagles can leave you with a 2-inch gash in your skin. Stay away from eagles nests!
3. Condor
If you’ve ever been to the zoo, you have probably seen a condor. The Andean Condor is the world’s largest bird. It has a wing span of over 10 feet and weighs over 40lbs. This bird’s statistics definitely match the damage it can do. If you were to ever be attacked by a condor, you’d be left with serious scratches as well as deep puncture wounds. In August 1999, a 3 year old girl was attacked by a condor at the Columbus Ohio Zoo. The bird knocked her over and left her with many injuries, mostly puncture wounds.
2. Cassowaries
You can find these birds in Australia as well as in New Guinea. While these birds look like a cross between an ostrich and a turkey, they are extremely beautiful to look at. However, if you ever corner a cassowary or get too close to it, be ready for an attack. These birds are very aggressive and very unpredictable. If a cassowary were to kick you, you’d definitely have some broken bones. If its dagger-sharp claws get a hold of you, be ready for some serious scratches and wounds.
1. Ostrich
While ostriches may seem like nothing but tall, big birds to you,
they are actually capable of doing some serious damage to a human.
Ostriches can run up to 45 mph and can be as big as 9 feet and 350lbs.
Try running away from an ostrich, I bet you won’t win. As if speed
isn’t enough, an ostrich has a claw on each foot. If you were to ever
be kicked by in ostrich in the back, it could: 1. Break your spine, 2.
Slice you right open, or 3. Do both. While ostriches don’t look the
most frightening, I wouldn’t push my luck getting close to them.

phobias ...the top ten
Everyone fears something. Whether it’s a child fearing the boogey man (bogyphobia) or even fear of the number 13 (triskadekaphobia). These two seem potentially unfounded fears, though there are real people who are particularly afraid of them. Certainly fears are crippling to the person with the phobia; however, there are also some potentially crippling fears that could halt someone in their tracks on a daily basis. To be included on this list, the reason for the phobia has to be something that a person can encounter every day.
10. Chronophobia
The fear of clocks might easily be overcome; however, the alternate
definition of chronophobia is the fear of time. Time surrounds us, it
binds us – sorry, Star Wars moment there. If a person were to rid
herself of all reminders of time such as clocks that would be one
thing. But fear has a way of creeping up on someone. As soon as she
thought about the fact that time is slipping away, perhaps their sanity
might as well.
9. Stasibasiphobia
Most people might think that couch potatoes have this fear of
standing up and walking. It’s not true; most couch potatoes are just
averse to the idea. However, a person with stasibasiphobia could very
well never get anything done in life, unless he was confined to a
wheelchair. But what happens if that person is afraid of someone else
standing up and walking? Does that mean the phobic must live in
isolation in a sitting position for the rest of his life? What a drag!
8. Domatophobia
Most Americans want four walls, three meals a day and a bed to sleep
on. Unfortunately, most of those things are on this list as crippling
phobias including domatophobia, fear of houses or being in a house. The
only logical cure to this phobia would be to live in a cave or some
other natural enclosure unless the fear doesn’t extend to apartments or
condos. Either way, that’s a portion of the American Dream dashed.
7. Decidophobia
You just did it! You just made the decision to continue reading this
list, which includes the phobia of making decisions, decidophobia. A
person who cannot make a decision is likely to be eternally stuck in a
rut. Unless something becomes second nature such as everyday routines,
a person could be crippled by the simple decision of what to eat for
breakfast.
6. Nyctophobia and Photophobia
For these two fears, they are sides of the same coins like a
Yin-Yang symbol – literally. Nyctophobia is the fear of night or
darkness, while photophobia is the fear of light. Perhaps the only way
to handle these fears is sleeping through the night or through the day,
then again turning on all your lights might help a phobic handle the
fear of darkness, not necessarily the electricity bill. On the flip
side, a photophobic would have to live in the dark for the rest of his
life – talk about being white as a sheet.
5. Anthropophobia and Lalophobia
Like No. 6 on our list, these fears could potentially isolate the
phobic for life. Anthropophobia is a fear of people while lalophobia is
the fear of speaking. Maybe the hermit with domatophobia should get
together with the anthropophobic. Nope, that wouldn’t work, because the
hermit is still a person. And don’t forget that never being able to
speak or be around another person certainly wouldn’t do well for social
skills.
4. Urophobia
From here on out, this list becomes phobias of functions that humans
must do to survive. And that means that the phobias, such as urophobia
or the fear of urination, would put a cramp on anyone’s life style. A
catheter might be a stop gap measure as long as someone else would
agree to change the phobic’s bag. Either way, everyone has to release
bodily waste and this fear could make bathrooms a very unpleasant
experience no matter where the phobic is.
3. Somniphobia and Clinophobia
While you don’t necessarily have to be clinophobic to be
somniphobic, it doesn’t really matter once you realize that going to
sleep is never an option anymore! A person with somniphobia fears sleep
while a person suffering from clinophobia fears beds. I’m sure a
clinophobic could just sleep standing up. However, humans need the REM
cycles of sleep to help digest their everyday thoughts and activities.
Without sleep, a person could, potentially, slowly go insane due to
fatigue and too many screws loose in the noggin. We all have
nightmares, but can you imagine having a waking nightmare about going
to sleep?
2. Phagophobia
And the final piece of the American Dream is having three square
meals a day. But what if you had phagophobia, the fear of eating? There
are people – in hospitals – who live on liquid diets. But to go without
food must be torturous on a daily basis, unless of course, you’re a
phagophobic. It must be hard for a phobic like this to go out on a date
since he would obviously not ask his date out for dinner. And the
holidays must also get awful lonely without the company and great food!
1. Anemophobia
Catch your breath, especially if you have anemophobia, the fear of
air. A person could be scared every moment of her life. Sure eating,
sleeping and all the other fears on this list could cripple people on a
daily basis, but not potentially for every moment of your waking life.
There are a number of methods to counter phobias, all of which seem
like they would fail miserably contingent on how paralyzed a phobic is
of air. Outside of living in a bubble with a controlled atmosphere,
nothing comes to mind to counter such a phobia. Even a little fresh air
to help cleanse the mind wouldn’t help in this case.

The Internet's 99 Greatest Hits
a pinjam article :By Claire Suddath
I remember my first viral video. The year was 2001, and I was a fresh-faced teenager with my first high-speed Internet connection. Someone showed me a Flash animation featuring 1980s Japanese video-game images repurposed into a techno-music montage. Or something. I'm not really sure. I didn't understand All Your Base Are Belong To Us then, and I don't understand it now, but I can't deny its Internet significance. All I remember is that people wouldn't stop saying "Somebody set up us the bomb" for at least a week.
Since then, I have become thoroughly entrenched in Internet pop culture. (I'm pretty sure that half my workday is spent exchanging YouTube videos with co-workers, but don't tell anyone.) There was the Star Wars Kid (2002); Homestar Runner (which I saw in 2003-04); and Tom Cruise's Scientology video (2008). When a friend refused to stop singing "Peanut Butter Jelly Time," I didn't speak to her for three days because whenever I did she would sing it, and the song would get stuck in my head. But that was in 2002, and I haven't seen the video since. That is, until now. (See the 50 best websites of 2008.)
Advertising copywriter Greg Rutter has compiled everything great about the Internet and put that on one Web page. Youshouldhaveseenthis.com is a list of 99 videos and websites that any self-respecting Internet addict needs to see — and probably already has.
So if you have a lot of free time, here are the best things the Internet has to offer:
• Animal videos: 11• Animal videos that should come with a warning because they're too adorable and will make you cry at work: 1
• People who injure themselves: 6
• People who injure other people: 3
• Children who will grow to resent their parents for putting embarrassing footage of them on the Internet: 9

Penangites present were all smiles and laughs …at 1 pm…the fun had just begun.
A radio station promotional tour and a follow up from last years “Traxx on the road”…Traxx Alert was an instrumental way to once again “give” to the listeners and gain new ones.
The TRAXXMOBILE Road Tour, kicked off on February 17 with the hit and run promo at various locations in the Klang Valley… with prizes valued at more than RM60,000 up for grabs!!
The 4x4 traxx mobile was not only equipped with the arsenal required for radio and “party on the spot” warfare …
( complete with state of the art sound system and a 42’’ Plasma TV that displays the logo of the sponsors and the station. ) … it was loaded with goodies and gifts for all present.
Simple and thoughtful giveaways for the small trivial questions answered…and that soon escalated to dining vouchers at exclusive hotels, 3 day 2 nite stays and even a pair of Chronotech watches worth RM 1600.
Some listeners walked away with new sunglasses…
some with exclusive Traxxfm merchandise,
some with a whole weeks supply of buble gum and sweets,
some with umbrellas,sports bags,cd cases, …
some wanted just the goodie bags which were exclusive De Romp bio degradable bags… etc…
some won the gifts answering simple trivia questions..
some through the video games…
some simply walked up and asked …
needless to say no one walked away empty handed .
Entertainment and fun via Nintendo video games like bowling and tennis were another highlight as people stood in que to try their luck at the truck…a tastefully modified Ford Ranger with a huge tv screen which also flashed the frequencies and the pictures of the traxxfm crew ; and it boasted a tastefully power packed sound system which simply amplified live radio broadcasts and crossovers between deejays on location and the studio ...and the music rocked !
Traxxfm deejays took turns working the crowd and keeping them entertained with interactive games , quizzes and a dance competition which featured Penangs talented youth was a screamer ! Team Shinobi were voted winners and danced their way to an exclusive sponsored holiday .
Whilst all this was goin on , a treasure hunt was also happening …participants were to locate several deejays who were at different levels of the Gurney Plaza and receive instructions on their “task”…which was a breeze…ie: take pictures via handphone of tourists ,gather coins,construct a star out of straws …to name 3 tasks.
The winners of the treasure hunt to the delight of all were 2 ardent listeners of traxxfm who grabbed the Chronotech watches.
Alas,all good things had to come to an end at about 5pm…but fear not , THE TOUR CONTINUES ….its one utama in Kuala Lumpur on the 1st of march …then Kuantan on March 8 and the final tour at Melaka on March 15.
