Interesting Stuff

Virtual Visit to...

As usual, Yahoo!'s odd news being my favorite place to go out of all news. For the fact that these news doesn't include much about politics and it's so-called by me, GOVERMENTAL FREE as in no such thing as Mr. President do this or Mr. Obama wins votes by 1 etc etc. Anyway, lucky me because well, i've found one of my favorite stuff. The History of China and it's Forbidden City. According to Yahoo!, IBM has urm...i think 'donated' 3 million to make this project and it has been ongoing for 3 years. And finally, it is done, or so i think. What is it about? Well, it's about ancient China of course where you can visit the Forbidden Virtually in 9 different costume/character, i dont know. I've planned to download it but this stupid-fucking-idiotic connection of mine was restricted to download big files.

For one reason, my internet fee per month is only rm40 and it's a LAN connection rather than a private connection. Why is it so? Again, it's coz my dad trust his friends and like to 'kau kwan' his friend. So, i've no choice but to suffer this slowpoke-like connection which restricts me from downloading stuff bigger than a certain number of MB. By assuming that the file for maple is 600MB, then it must be lesser than that because i cant download maple.

I've went to the Forbbiden City's site and it seems that you can download different versions of it as in according to your platform. It looked kinda nice but i wonder who will be so kind to help me download...maybe i can ask Sean-kun ^^ But kinda shy since it isnt my connection and asking a favor from someone else is rarely me... :p

In case i forgot, here's the link for the site :D

OMG, FOR SALE!

Other than that, the first country ever to face bankruptcy or that's what i think is open for sale or rather, bidding. Which is, none other than Iceland who owes Russia 3 or 4 billion pound i think. Forgot ady :p Anyway, lolx...they're actually selling Iceland thru eBay and sweatz...the bid start from guess what? 99 PENCE!!! As in 99 CENT! Oh what the hell! Luckily, the bidding has gone up to 10 million++ but i really pity Iceland. Hope that whoever that will be buying Iceland will buy it in a more expensive way. Perhaps 1 billion+ :P Few days or rather weeks ago, Iceland had been facing a major financial crisis and i think the government cannot stand it anymore and therefore, have to sell their country to others. Anyway, their currency actually drops drastically into half or more of the actually currency in just like one or two week! Whoa! Damn fast man...

Anyway, from the start, Iceland had been built on a shaky foundation and that's where the 4 billion pound came from. I guess this is a lesson to tell me, never start a business without any model and try not to owe people money XD Good luck, Iceland...

Is this plain stupid or what?

The following are self-explanatory, so, haha...speechless...

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia - A couple in rural Cambodia has terminated their 18-year marriage with a divorce settlement that entailed sawing in two the wooden house they once shared, villagers said Friday. The husband, 42-year-old Moeun Sarim, has taken away with him all the bits and pieces of his half a house, said his 35-year-old wife, Vat Navy.

"Very strange, but this is what my husband wanted," she said by phone from a village about 62 miles east of Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh. She said they ended their marriage last month.

"He brought his relatives and used saws to cut the house in half," she said, adding that she now owns the other half that is still standing. The house is made from wood with a tile roof and propped up on wooden pillars, a typical style for a Cambodian country home.

She said her estranged husband and his relatives, after ripping apart half of the house, carried all the debris to his parents' house nearby.

She said the divorce was prompted by her husband's jealousy about her alleged relationship with a policeman in the village. She denied having an extramarital affair.

"He wanted a divorce, and I said, `Let's divorce,'" she said.

The husband could not be reached for comment.

Bou Bout, a village chief, said local officials and police were present as witnesses the day the couple split their 20-by-24 1/2 foot house into half.

"Local officials tried three times to get them to mend their differences, but the husband would not budge," Bou Bout said by phone.

I would never ever do such thing even though i divorce with my wife. To take the debris to your parent's home? Don't you think it's stupid? The house is money dude...the debris isnt. Well, maybe you can sell away or recycle the wood planks and stuff but it's just plainly...useless. What a funny husband... Hey Vat Navy, you did the right choice by divorcing your husband...
