A great feat of strength?

, , ,

He's the king of couch potatoes.

A Manhattan man has won his second couch potato contest. Stan Friedman, a 47-year-old research librarian, needed 18 hours 48 minutes 17 seconds of sports-watching time to outlast the competition at the second annual ESPN Zone Ultimate Couch Potato Competition.

The participants, sitting in recliners in front of dozens of televisions, weren't allowed to sleep or leave their recliners except for restroom breaks once every eight hours.

Friedman, like any good athlete, improved on his time. Last year, he needed 29 hours to win.

Just a Rant

Just a little rant!

The very first day this last cease fire was over - those cowards known as Hamas were on the roofs of schools and hospitals firing rockets at innocent people in Israel, were there any protests then?

Of course not - you wouldn't want to offend a terrorists group that has no regard for human life, not even that of its own children.

To all you protesters, I have one question for you - what would you do if your neighbour made it their life long ambition to kill you and your family? Would you sit back and let it happen.

At least the Israelis are targetting military installations and known Hamas leaders, civilian casualties are minimal compared to what they could be.

Start protesting against Hamas, a known terrorist organization, a group that hides behind women and children, a bunch of cowards.

[Peace] initiatives, the so-called peaceful solutions, and the international conferences to resolve the Palestinian problem, are all contrary to the beliefs of the Islamic Resistance Movement.

from Article 13 of the Hamas Charter.

Simply Google Hamas Charter for yourself to see what type of people they are.

End of my rant.

Starting the Year Off

, , , ...

The world is another year older and its inhabitants don't seem to be any wiser.

Between one war or another, cholera and ebola, aging dictators and the newer despots; parts of the world are in complete chaos and turmoil. My heart goes out to all those living day to day struggling to survive. What we here take for granted - a glass of clean water to drink is a rare commodity in some places.

Not to say that the west doesn't have it's own problems, ours are just a whole lot more trivial.

What a Joke!

, , ,

I'm up and awake and doing the usual morning stuff - like reading the paper and I've got to share this one with you.

Being the last day of the year, there are always stories, videos and highlights of the past events. Sorry to be saying - but here comes a low point from the scientific community.

This little article comes from the department of blatantly obvious and yet - tax payer dollars funded these studies.

For example according to a recent study: "Women don’t like to be told they look fat" Okay, so I learned something from this study, any idiot can get a grant from the government.

A national survey found 68% of men have lied when asked by a woman: “Do I look fat in this?” The other 32% of respondents were said to have recently been dumped by their girlfriends or wives.



If you are up for a laugh, then be sure to check out The National Post for more of the truly obvious.
