One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.
He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?" "We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass." "
Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you" the lawyer said.
"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree.
"Bring them along" the lawyer replied.
Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You come with us also." The second man, in a pitiful voice then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!"
"Bring them all, as well," the lawyer answered. They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said,
"Sir,you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."
The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place. The grass is almost a foot high."

Free Travel!!!
It's something for you to read only & not so much of an offer available somewhere for your taking.
But if you are poor enough and managed to get a last minute Venezuelan citizenship, you could still get a chance to travel for free provided you are sick at the same time. The Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez, has approved tentatively with the Cuban government in sending 100,000 poor Venezuelans who require medical attention. Cuban doctors in various medical fields will be ready to provide the medical services required. (source: Granma International)
What a nice president. And I'm sure they are real hard core poor people instead of related parties or cronies riding along the trip in getting FREE stuff. Surely no discrimination on which race will have more people or fixing any quota on other races.

Silk (I)
Silkworm (Bombyx mori, Latin: silkworm of the mulberry tree") is the larva or caterpillar of a moth in the family Bombycidae, that is very important economically as the producer of silk. It is entirely dependent on humans for its reproduction and no longer occurs in the wild; silk culture has been practiced for at least 5000 years in China (Goldsmith et al., 2004). A silkworm's diet consists solely of mulberry leaves. It is native to northern China. Its nearest wild relative is Bombyx mandarina with which it is able to hybridize (Goldsmith et al., 2004), and which ranges from northern India to northern China, Korea and Japan. You can read more on Silkworms in Wikipedia.

Blindfolded Camel
As I was coming back from the desert site last Saturday, I took this photo with my colleague's handphone. Forgotten about it actually.
The blindfolded camel was actually being tied to a makeshift tree trunk which was also tied to a big piece of steel stucked into an oil drum. It was brewing some sort of liquid which we were not sure what it was. This picture was taken when our driver went for his breakfast in this little town and left 3 of us inside the car. We didn't go out of the car...... just sit tight and watch the surrounding....hehehe. A table (blocked by camel) is set-up with bottles of those liquid deemed for sale. Just look at the simple set-up of a business stall. Tree trunks and a cloth on the top are all they need to start a business.
Apache in Kuala Lumpur
Red Indians? US Air Force's helicopters? A notorious gang?
It's actually a gang of motorcyclists terrorising around the city of Kuala Lumpur and had committed 21 robberies in 2 months. Their way of intimidating their victims resembled the Apache Red Indians when attacking the cowboys. Surround your victims and go round and round before launching the 'attack'. The latest incident happened to 2 ladies at Bangsar, an upscale area in Kuala Lumpur.
Such groups of motorcyclists, rampant throughout the country, are notorious and they have been given a name, Mat Rempit (actually they are illegal street racers), by certain political people. The concerned political people wanted to drive some sense into the Mat Rempits' brains but was futile. Efforts such as constructing a race track to keep them off the road and organising big gatherings with healthy activities have vapourised. How come the concerned political people don't know what sort of activities that drives the Mat Rempits? The adrenalin is when the Mat Rempits squeeze through tight traffic and zoom pass the red traffic lights daring each other. Or jumping over a pit of raging fire but not a gathering.
I support such good intention but without proper planning and yet recognising them with a name, it has backfired. Many people have said that it was a political agenda to draw the motorcyclists to join the political party that came out with the idea. A ploy but without meat in the plan?
Intention was even made to upgrade their name to Mat Cemerlang (similar to 'Excellent Dude') in Nov 2006. This idea has been conveniently swept under the carpet as it was shot down by the general public. Sometimes I really wonder why such high intelligence political people can come out with such brilliant ideas. Even the police force doesn't agree with such branding.
A victim of such Mat Rempits has launched a blog, Anti Rempit Campaign, about the notorious motorcyclists' situation in the country. The police force is at their wits controlling such gangs.
