Funny blog

If you like funny videos, visit Funnylah.com. This site has loads of links to them on the web as well as jokes and funny pictures. It even has some links to free online games as well, like this funny maze game.

This blog first caught my attention because it's name is so similar to mine. Spent quite some time going through the blog.

Here's a joke I took from the blog:

A bear, a lion and a chicken meet.Bear says: “If I roar in the forests of North America, the entire forest is shivering with fear.”

Lion says: “And if I roar on the great plains of Africa, the entire savannah is afraid of me.”

Says the chicken: “Big deal. I only have to cough, and the entire planet shits itself.”

If you don't get it, you need to watch more the news and less of the reality shows on TV.

Crazy ad campaign

Advertising companies are coming out with innovative and memorable ad campaigns for their clients and the latest battlefield or medium to attract consumers is the blogosphere. The crazier the ads, the better - especially humorous videos as they generate more attention and word-of-mouth promotion.

Monkeys and their bananas

Wanted to share this nice story forwarded to me, with your guys.

Put five monkeys in a cage. Put a ladder in the cage with a bunch of bananas at the top. As soon as one monkey starts to climb the ladder, spray cold water on all the monkeys. When another tries to climb, spray cold water on all the monkeys again. Soon, no monkey will attempt to climb the ladder.

Now, remove one monkey and put a new monkey in the cage. The new monkey will see the bananas and try to climb the ladder. Not wanting to be sprayed with cold water again, the other monkeys will quickly pull him down.

Remove a second monkey and put a new monkey in the cage. Again, the new monkey will see the bananas and try to climb the ladder. Not wanting to be sprayed with cold water, the other monkeys will quickly pull him down.

Repeat this process until all five original monkeys are gone, and five new monkeys are in the cage. None will try to climb the ladder, and none will understand why.

Now, remove all five monkeys and put a brand new monkey in the cage. The monkey will quickly climb the ladder and eat the bananas. Don't spray any cold water.

Put the five original monkeys back in the cage with the one brand new monkey who has tasted the delicious bananas. Replenish the bananas.

The brand new monkey will again climb up the ladder. Despite the efforts of the older monkeys to hold him down, the brand new monkey has tasted the bananas, he will strive again until he succeeds.

When he succeeds, the other five monkeys will realize that bananas are worth the climb, and worth the risk of some cold water. They, too, will climb the ladder and enjoy the delicious bananas.

Moral of the story ?

- Fresh perspective is important to continue growth and success.
- A little cold water can destroy a lot of motivation.
- New staff tend to take on the behavioral characteristics of your existing team members. Therefore, be sure your new hires are coached and mentored by the best of your existing team.
- Trying something new can yield delicious rewards.

If you are the boss of an organisation, it's something worth thinking about.

Latest video from Iraq

Saddam is gone but the violence hasn't ended.

Bombs are still going off.

And the country is worse off than before.

Tip Tail blogs about anything

Tip Tail is the blog of Cynthia, a blogger from Salt Lake City, Utah. She blog about almost anything and a lot about her dogs. She has four dogs - Chase, Levi, Angel and Lucy. She also has 2 cats - Littles and Phoebe. It's hard to find people who love both cats and dogs.

I was reading here latest post "Working from Home Rocks" and it is about her trip to the dentist.

Like millions of people around the World, I hate going to the dentist (sorry! Uncle Megh but I prefer to visit you at home too). The last time I went to a dentist was to have my wisdom tooth extracted and it hurt like hell. Read my old post here.

Yeah! I agree with you Cynthia, working from home rocks. Actually I have no choice.

Kelantanese Crazy Frog

It was bound to happen sooner or later. There is now a Kelantanese version of the annoying Crazy Frog.

It is sung in the Kelantanese dialect in the Dikir Barat style.

For non-Malaysians, Kelantan is a state on the east coast of Malaysia. It happens to be the only Malaysian state ruled by the opposition Islamic party PAS. It is also famous in history for being the only state ever ruled by a Queen in the peninsula - Siti Wan Kembang.

Now for the clip:


I will try to get someone to translate the words to English. Anyone wants to volunteer?

What makes you laugh?

Is it a clown, a funny picture, the sitcom "Friends", a dirty joke that your colleague narrated, a satire of the politicians or simply your toddler making funny faces and sounds.

Wikipedia defines Humour (or humor) as "the ability or quality of people, objects, or situations to evoke feelings of amusement in other people."

Humour can cheer us up, it can lighten the mood in a tense situation, it can break the ice in parties and can even be used to attract attention. For example, a nice way to catch the attention of students in a classroom is to start the lessons off with a relevant joke.

Of course, it is important to remember that other people might not share your same views on stuff you find funny for example. I found it quite funny but my wife didn't. It depends on culture as well. The British are famous for their unique sense of humour, which unfortunately might be lost of people from other countries.

On the other hand, many people like Physical/Slapstick humour, which seems to cross cultural boundaries. A good example would be the old Laurel Hardy and Charlie Chaplin movies.

So what makes you laugh?

What is Emo music

You might have guessed correctly that the term "Emo" is short for Emotional. However, you might be surprised to learn that this refers to a subgenre of hardcore punk music. This music phenomenon is nothing new and originates from the music of the mid-1980s Washington, DC scene. It has evolved since then and now used to describe various emotionally-charged punk rock. Of course I do wonder, soft sentimental music can also be full of emotion.

Anyway, the Emo Hairstyles websites takes a lighter look at the emo phenomenon. They call it the "ugly twin sister of Punk Hair Styles."

Their zany description of famous emo bands based on their pictures are pretty hilarious. For example, read their description of The Appleseed Cast:

Isn't that the Edge himself second from the right? What a hairdo! It looks like a mullet. I'm guessing the guy to the right of him is bald. Why else would he be wearing the hat? To the left of the Edge we have fat Che Guevara who is going for the guillera look there. It's not very emo is it?

When I last checked, they had 12 emo bands/ singers in their list, which is fast growing.

Spooky sound

As he made the strange spooky sound.
I seemed to hear a voice
And then a ghostly image passed by...

The Matrix religion

There are some really weird sites out there on the web. While surfing around, I somehow got to the Matixism site.

I learned that there is such a thing as a Matrixsim religion: "The path of the one". This religion is based on the Matrix movie trilogy.

According to the site's FAQ, the new religion has already sixteen hundred adherents (i suspect most of them are teenagers who have signed up just for the fun of it. However, I won't be surprised if some actually take it seriously.

So do you want the RED or the BLUE pill?

Free cartoons by Gaspirtz

Oliver Gaspirtz's funny cartoons have appeared in most major American magazines such as the National Enquirer, Sun, Saturday Evening Post, Funny Times, etc. as well as in international publications including Britain's famous Punch and Germany's Eulenspiegel magazines. In 2000, he decided to publish his cartoons exclusively on the internet in 2000.

He definitely has a weird and dark sense of humour.

I learnt that these cartoons were first drawn on paper, then scanned into the computer and colourised in Photoshop.

For more background info on the artist, check out his Biography.

I almost forgot to tell you that everybody is free to use the cartoons on his site. You can even download a collection of his cartoons as a zip file. 

Balance

Just received this from a friend who always claims that he is soooooo busy with his work.

Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him on the seventh day, resting. He inquired of God, "Where have you been?" God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds "Look Michael, look what I have made." Said God. Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?" "It's a planet," replied God' "and I've put life on it, I'm going to call it earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."

"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused. God explained, pointing to different parts of earth. "For example, North America will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while South Americas going to be poor. The Middle East over there will be a hot spot and Russia will be a cold spot. Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people." God continued pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot and this one extremely cold, and this one covered in ice."

Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a small land mass and said, "What's that one?" "Ah…," said God. "That's Malaysia, the most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful lakes, rivers, streams and hills. The people from Malaysia are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found travelling the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard-working and high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace." Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there would be BALANCE! So if Malaysians are going to be that great, you must've created some really corny people to balance them.

God replied wisely, “ Wait until you see the idiots I'm putting right next to them. They're called Singaporeans!!”

My sincere apologies to Singaporeans. Its just a joke.
