MySpace Headlines

April 20th 2007 13:44
MySpace has introduced a News Feature! How impressive is that. Those teenage girls (and boys) on an online community will finally have access to information other than who is dating who, and what so and so did to such and such! But then again, some comments and photographs found on myspace do fit the model of front cover news! Let's not get dillusional, the centre of the universe does revolve around the MySpace generation!

This seems to be a revolution of the future... News for MySpace, perhaps what should follow are whiteboards and maths text books at Malls! We'd be a smarter, tuned in and highly educated generation of people!

SMH - Ewe'll be Sorry

September 9th 2006 02:43
From the Sydney Morning Herald
September 8, 2006 - 10:03AM


A giant python bit off more than it could chew when it tried to swallow a pregnant ewe.

Ewe'll be sorry


It got stuck on a road this week after swallowing the ewe in the Malaysian village of Kampung Jabor, about 200 kilometres east of Kuala Lumpur.


The six-metre reptile weighing 90 kilograms was too laden to move, making it easy for firemen to capture it, said a local daily newspaper.

Dolphin runs amok off French coast

An enraged dolphin has been terrorising the French Atlantic coast for several weeks, attacking boats and knocking fishermen into the sea.

"He's like a mad dog," said Henri Le Lay, president of the association of fishermen and yachtsmen of the port of Brezellec, in Brittany.

"He has caused at least 1,500 euros ($2,530) worth of damage in the past few weeks."

The dolphin, named Jean Floch, has destroyed rowboats, overturned open boats, flooded engines and twisted mooring lines.

Two fishermen were knocked into the sea after the dolphin overturned their boat.

Jean Floch has been a popular and familiar sight along the coast of Brittany since 2002.

But experts say that he must have been excluded from his group recently to have turned so violent.

According to Sami Hassani, of the Oceanapolis Department of Sea Mammals, "because of their dominant personalities and their sexual maturity, males could become dangerous."
