Teen arrested for stealing virtual furniture

I read a story lately that was really strange it was about a Dutch 17-year-old that got arrested for stealing virtual furniture from the rooms The Habbo Hotel,
The Habbo Hotal is a popular online teenager networking Web site where Habbo users can create their own characters, decorate their own rooms paying with Habbo Credits, but they have to buy the credits with real cash.
An Amsterdam police spokeswoman confirmed a report that the teenager was accused of stealing 4000 euros worth of virtual furniture by hacking into the accounts of other users.
Four other 15-year-olds were apparently questioned in the case,

So what did these virtual criminal masterminds they do with this virtual furniture I hear you ask! apparently they are suspected of moving the stolen furniture into their own online hotel rooms!

Wow 4000 euros worth of virtual furniture in there online rooms? that's about 50 times more then my real future costs in our real room.

While I can see that hacking into the accounts is very wrong the thing I wonder is isn't charging charging so much for furniture that doesn't actually exist also very wrong?

In the belly of the beast

Dr. Brady Barr - National Geographic Reptile Expert
I happened to watch National Geographic Channel launches a documentary about Dr Brady Barr who decided to dress up himself as a Crocodile to get right up next to the other crocodiles living in the wild! wow that's an alternative~hands on approach,

The “croc suit” consisted of a protective metal cage covered by a Kevlar shield, and topped off with a life like latex cape, It wouldn't fool most humans but he had to hope it would fool the crocodiles as he is going to crawl up to a group of wild Giant crocs.
He need to get near enough o attach a scientific device to their backs!
This apparently happen in the country of Tanzania,

The crazy thing he was able to breath inside the hot tight suit, the thermometer read 120 degrees inside his body (hell yah, bloody hot)gosh,
I find it really crazy for him to be short distance away from the numerous hazardous crocs as well as with the most dangerous animals in Africa, the Hippo.,

Luckily for him the other Giant crocodiles that were all around him decided to adopt him as part of there group and even crawled right up on top of him,
I find him brave really to do that but how was it worth to do such bold experiment.,
Just to get so close and to be able to put a scientific tracking devise on a crocodile while not disturbing it is truly death defying act. Indeed, it was a successful experiment lop around in the mud and "pretend" to be a crocodile how about you? would you dare and consider to try it?


I found this trailer for the program, I love it when he says "Today I AM a crocodile"

Fly me to the moon.

Watching the moon landing videos of the moon landings from the late 1960's and early 1970's
is really interesting


And to be honest I have only just learned there were there were 6 manned Apollo Moon landings

• Apollo 11 - July 16, 1969. First manned landing on the Moon, July 20.
• Apollo 12 - November 14, 1969. First precise manned landing on the Moon, within walking distance of Surveyor 3.
• Apollo 14 - January 31, 1971. Commanded by Alan Shepard, the only one of the original Mercury Seven astronauts to walk (and golf) on the Moon.
• Apollo 15 - July 26, 1971. First mission with the Lunar Rover vehicle.
• Apollo 16 - April 16, 1972. First landing in the lunar highlands.
• Apollo 17 - December 7, 1972. Final Apollo lunar mission, first night launch, only mission with a professional geologist.

(and I'm sure you have all heard of the one that almost got there Apollo 13)

There is always a lot of talk and accusations on the Internet of how the Moon landings were partly or completely fake, and were hoaxed, and even though I do think that are governments do lie to us, it would have been a huge whopper of a lie especially to try and pull off 6 times, and apparently there are three retroreflector arrays left on the Moon by Apollo 11, 14 and 15. and apparently anyone on Earth with an appropriate laser and telescope system may bounce laser beams off these devices,

Just in case your interested below is a video clip of Buzz Aldrin or Buzz Lightyear as Ali G likes to call him punching a guy in the face after he accuses him of not walking on the moon and called him a coward and lier

Buzz Aldrin was one of the first to walk on the moon along with Neil Armstrong on the Apollo 11 mission, I have to admit if I had been all the way to the moon and back and someone said that to me I might do the same.


however it is a great shame that it has been so long since we last had a moon landing it would be amazing to see the video footage that would be possible with today's technology,
But there is hope the current U.S. Vision for Space Exploration calls for a human landing on the Moon no later than 2019 quite why they there is such a long wait I am not quite sure but its something, and I have heard there are plans of an extended human presence on the moon to help develop the capability to use it as a launch pad for deeper space exploration possibly human missions to Mars,

Another thing I read that sounded interesting is The Google Lunar X Prize competition offers a $20 million award for the first privately-funded team to land a robotic probe on the Moon.
I could do with the $20 million I wonder if I strapped a webcam and a transformer to a very large firework I might win the prize would have to be a very good shot :-)

Fun Quiz:-)

I've been watching Are You Smarter Than A 5TH Grader for awhile now, I even had an old post about this show, I find it cute because honestly some question of the program i didn't even know myself, im just laughing about it because of the thought that a 5th grader actually know the exact answers, clever eh? well anyways, i found this meme around the blogsphere and i just want to give myself a try and see how much do i know about these stuff It's also interesting how much you remember,
QUIZ: ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER?
My score was 75%..haha! what's yours?

I tag anyone who wants to play!
till later....

Holy Cow!

Is it a bird? is it a plane? no its just a run of the mill sky diving cow! I read this amazing story recently about a cow plummeted about 200ft from the sky and landed on the bonnet of a couples minivan as they were driving down the road.

Charles Everson, Jr and his wife Linda were driving back from a church service near Manson, in Washington state, when the cow incident occurred. As they drove beneath a cliff, The cow toppled over the edge, plunged 200ft, and smashed into the bonnet of their minivan.
Everson told local newspaper The Wenatchee World: 'It was “bam”- you just saw something come down and hit the hood.'
'I'm like, “I don't believe this, I don't believe this, I don't believe this,”' he added.
The 600lb cow, who was put down at the scene, was identified as Michelle the Cow, a cow owned by Rockin A Rodeo Bulls. Michelle the cow had been at a breeding facility, but had escaped – only for her dreams of freedom to end up nose-diving off a cliff and being dashed on a minivan.
Michelle's owner, Rena Albertson, paid tribute to Michelle: 'She is very missed and I have yet to figure out how to tell our children what happened to her.'

It's amazing that the couple both were ok now they have such good story to tell however it was a very sad day for the cow, maybe we are going to need to start strapping parachute's on them.

Would You Indulge In The World's Most Expensive Desserts?

If you've got both expensive taste and a sweet tooth then you may want to add at a least a few, if not all, of the world's most expensive desserts to your wish list of things to try. The list topper (and therefore THE most expensive dessert in the world) is The Fortress Aquamarine from Wine3 at The Fortress in Galle, Sri Lanka. The focus of the sweet treat is an 80-carat aquamarine gem resting on a specially shaped sliver of fine chocolate representative of the company's logo. It's a gorgeous looking dessert, but not many have any idea if it tastes equally as good since priced at $14,500 After you have gobbled the dessert, you can put the gemstone in your pocket. Till now, has yet to sell their first one.

I am a passionate dessert ~lover, I love tiramisu and blackforest cake. I sure splurge to one thing, for once besides food, bags, shoes, dresess but I am not totally sure why anyone would pay $14,500 on a single dessert. Personally I can't figure out why it would be worth it,

ridiculously expensive, love dessert, but this is ridiculous. gosh I don't have money to throw away in the first place I mean it looks beautiful and I like surprises (an 80carat aquamarine is Quite the surprise) but it's too much. Like others said, just because you have the money doesn't mean you should spend it like a crazy person. Have some self control. I wonder what the quality of the aquamarine is. I know they scratch pretty easily, so if it's in with food, that might be kinda weird. It better be PERFECT for that price.These are all very pretty works of art that I would never spend money on even if I had that to throw away. Its dessert! you eat it and it goes down the toilet eventually (sorry for the less then pretty vision). I wonder if they even taste good.

Anyways, I was watching the t.v a few days ago, and it said :“$25K - Cost of Serendipity 3’s “Frrrozen Haute Chocolate,” a blend of 28 cocoas infused with five grams of edible 23-karat gold that will be unveiled today by Guinness World Records officials as the “Most Expensive Dessert in the World.” Served in a goblet lined with edible gold, the dessert is eaten with a solid 18-karat gold spoon encrusted with diamonds.

You've been X'ed:

I always love to watch Jamie Kennedy Show,Jk, is a pretty funny guy and a good character comedian the video below is a funny experiment that he did,
He is pranking (X'ing) some wine testers who think they are meeting a business man who is going to open wine shops in the same way that Starbucks have with there coffee shops,
however they then tell the wine testers that he has just had a jaw operation and has his jaw wired open but is still going to join them tasting the wine :-)



I couldn't stop laughing when he spills it all over himself, and spits it on the woman next to him, I think he acts at being drunk very well, I LOVED when he stared at them.. and started screaming, There was also a very funny episode when he X'ed a boy band saying he was replacing one of the members of there band, but I can't find that Video at the moment if I do I will post it soon.

OOOppss...It's ME!

Windows on our tables? Microsofts new Milan PC

Years ago if someone said the word 'Windows' most of us would have thought they were talking about those things on our houses that let us look outside, but nowadays we are just as likely to think of Microsoft's PC operating system,
maybe in years to come when we say 'table' is going to mean a lot more then the place we put our coffee cup's, recently Microsoft unveiled it's Microsoft surface tabletop 'Milan' computer.

it's a bit like those old space invaders tables that you found in some bar's but a million times more clever, it's a table top PC that will be able to do all the things that you are doing with yours at the moment and more, firstly you can throw the mouse and keyboard out of the Microsoft 'windows' you will be able to use yours hands to to do all of the things that want to do,
say you want to upload some pictures to you PC simply place a wifi compatible camera on the screen and the picture will appear on the screen imsently then using your hands you can more re-size it and put it in any folder you like, and in the same way in the future surfing the web will possible in just the same way,
and one of the greatest advantages of this technologies plus more than one person can use it a time, which could totally change the way we use our PC's forever,

it will however be a while before most of our are able to get one of these to play with in our home's it's going to be the business world that first has access like T-mobile who are going to use the new PC systems to help sell there phones you will be able to get information about the phones and more more just by putting the phone on the table,
at first the price tag is going to be quite large as in around $10.000 dollars but as this technology gets mass produced it the price tag should fall to price that hopefully won't be much more than a top of the range standard PC is.
it might be quite a while we see one with coffee cup rings and dinner plates on.

If you could only choice one PC or TV?

The Television has become a necessity to have for most of us and at some point in the day most of need to sit and get our daily fix but over the past few years a PC at home has also become very, very important to a lot of people especially now that the Internet has grown so much and become so easily accessible,

I when I think about it I find it very hard to prioritise which has become more important to me, and I wonder to myself if I had to live in a world where only one of these technologies were invented and if it was only possible for me to have one of these in my home which would I choose the PC or the TV?

I know that nowadays you can quite easily watch TV programs using you PC but to make it fair maybe to pretend this option was not possible, so it was just a decision between a TV or a PC connected to the Internet?

I think I would have to lose the TV and stick with a PC.

It wouldn't be easy I do love the TV and find it very hard to imagine a life without a TV in the house, But the fact is that a PC connected to the Internet is just so much more useful, it has opened up a whole host of possibility's we can use it to communicate i don't even have a phone line as I use mine for all my phone calls, you can use it to play games and you can use it to work and make money,

no matter how much I watch TV I doubt anyone will ever pay me money to do it!

So sorry TV but you would be the one that would have to go,

However it is possible that after a few months I would regret that decision.

I hope I never have to choose out of my TV and PC, may we all have a long happy life together.

Hunt for rapist that has simply disappeared.....

"Dispute a intensive worldwide search and huge teams of investigates attempting to track down a rapist they have been unable to find him and it seems he has simply disappeared a police spokesman said that they have no leads and said that he may have gone into hiding but said they think it's possible he is a creature of habit and it is possible he might be closer than people think"

A TV news reporter showing a composite sketch of a rapist. ... poor news guy they do look so similar , People have their own perceptions on what are significant traits to differentiate one person from another. That is why an artist's sketch almost never looks like the intended individual if compared side by side, shame on a reader, I wonder if police investigated the reporter after watching the news?, wonderfully ironic.

Virtual Clothes

I found a new way of getting myself new clothes at least virtually , If you really want a new dress but can't really afford it, all you need to do is cut your head off and stick on the dress:-) Just did it in paint shop pro, I found some found some dresses in Internet,

As you see, the head don't look right on the dress its just a quick job and its fun to do, so Who says that the camera doesn't lie, its one thing give you an ideal what dresses might suit you without going on the changing rooms to fit them on.

I probably never buy either of the dresses in real life, I'm embarrassed to show off that much of my cleavage but as its not my body, i suppose there is not much to be ashamed..In the future it would really nice to get an elegant dress to wear them on whenever there is a posh occasion.

WHEN DID I EVEN SAID, I LOVE YOU MUM?

I'm sad to say that I was never really outspoken to show off my love for my Mum, I might not say it verbally, but deep inside I know I love her, and I was just being pain in the bum when I was younger, she was a cool hands on mum, I wish she was still alive for me to make up all the faults, shortcomings I've done in the past, and she see me how I have grown up and struggle then living now with flying colors, surely she must be happy for me for what I am now, I never had a clue how to live without a mum at younger age, perhaps her strength is within me, helping me to overcome the hardship of life, even on the darkest moments I knew she is there for me, if only I could turn back the time I should have told my mum as often as I can how much I love and cherished her, I hope that in time well be together again,
I really feel that if we live with the memory of people close in our hearts part of them lives on,
At the moment I am so in touch with my mother in law to be, we exchange text most of the time and I could say , she is the sweetest ugangan, Darlene ask me about this so thought I would write a bit in dedication to my Mum.

Light blubs in a microwave disco time....

Come and see the most light bulbs ever shoved in a microwave totaling one dozen. This is the ultimate electrodynamic Microwave bulb event. Hurry and watch before there is nothing but leftovers.

I did not know that light bulbs lit up in a microwave! but then I normally put food in, :-) It's Probably best not to do this in your own microwave sometimes they explode, it's probably not worth burning your house down to watch light bulbs light up but it is fun to watch when other people do it.

I spent hours last night when I was bored looking at the strange things that people were putting in microwaves it included tubes of tooth paste, soap, lit candles in glasses and people seem to have a vendetta against Furby the kids toy they were being destroyed in various ways including be toasted in the microwave, it was quite scary to watch the Furby fry it reminded me of the a scene from the Gremlins when one of the Gremlins get killed in the microwave.

it seems like a strange and dangerous addiction to some people. well it takes all kinds but not sure if i would trust them alone in my kitchen.

Will The iPhone Work Here?

The touch- screen three-in-one device (iPod, computer, cellphone) debuted last june 29 in the U.S. The iPhone features a large display to see everything better, WIFI for surfing at coffee shops, a camera to take snapshots, and a unique "multi-touch" control scheme that lets you do everything with your fingertips. That's why there's only four physical buttons on this gadget.If you flew to the US and brought back an iPhone, would it work here? the answer is a categorical no. The iPhone is currently designed to work only with the networks of AT&T, the partner of apple. If you're out of the US- you can't call or text anyone. No, you can't swap out the SIM: it's built into the device.
Yes, you can still use the iPhone's music playback and web surfing capabilities. But who wnats to pay hundreds of dollars for that? If you're really interested in the iPhone, I suggest wait until A pple makes it available locally in 2008.

Stress free look?:-)

They say "Beauty is a reflection of how you feel. If you are happy, you will be seen as radiant and beautiful. If you are sad, your beauty will fade. You will lose your radiance.Inner beauty is very important; It is a projection of each individual's personality.It is what gives each huma being his own special light."
My beauty routine; I do not smoke. I try to take care of my health. I do not go to bed with makeup, I use revlon blush on in sofspoken pink , it suit my skin tone
When it comes to fahion and style, i prefer classic, simple clothes althought i'm trendy and adventurous when it comes to bag, and flats/strappy heels, I'm down to anything for fun:-)
