vinyarb- you just have to read it

This creature was fished out of Japanese waters 200m deep, off Miyako port.

Some people are commenting that it looks like a combination of genitalia.

And also, does it look like its smiling?

Brrrrr...

I know everytime you see the green green grass swaying in the wind, as though to some music that's only audible to them, you feel like singing aloud

"the hills are alive, with the sound of music"

Well, while the hills may or may not be alive, the grass and plants certainly are. And if you piss them off (or maybe even piss off them!), they won't hesitate to emit chemicals called Green Leaf Volatiles (GLVs) to request for backup!

See, a group of scientists have been studying a wild (it holds rave parties like, every weekend) tobacco plant. When the plant was being eaten by hornworm caterpillars, the plant released a very specific scented compound of GLV that would attract a bug called Geocoris.

Guess what geocorises eat for breakfast?

That's right, fellas, HORNWORM CATERPILLARS!

The next time you mow your lawns, watch out for lurking lions.

Anri Suzuki, a Japanese Porn Star, has a really bizzare way of giving back to society, and sort of making up for the atrocities committed by the Japanese during World War II.

She's giving away free sex to chinese students.

Yeap. You read right. The 24 year old pornstar studied history in University, and had been shocked to learn about her nation's past. Determined to heal wounds and right some wrongs, she decided to "give back" by providing sex sessions with chinese students studying in Japan.

She says “We have to respect history and cannot obliterate it. I want to cure the wounds of Chinese with my body, and I am practicing this by having sex with Chinese students in Japan. I think it is psychological compensation to them. Actually, Chinese students treat me more friendly and comfortably than Japanese."

Hi Anri, if you're reading this... Japan invaded Singapore and committed countless unspeakable, horrific crimes too you know? Just saying.

Even more interesting to note is that some people on the forums are more taken with the bookshelf in the background, than in the idea of sexing her.

Which would you choose?

Alex and Donna are co-workers, and in love. They got engaged, and while planning their wedding, were looking through their childhood photographs to showcase.

One of Donna's photos was of her posing with a Disney mascot. She was 5. In the background, Alex, also a toddler was in a stroller with his dad.

At the time, Donna was living in Florida, and Alex was living in Canada.

No, this is not a flashback episode of LOST. But can very well depict Destiny at work.
They had thought their paths crossed when they were working in the same office. But Destiny already had them pegged together in the same photograph at Disneyland all those years ago.

They have since been married 8 years, and have kids of their own.

"Just to be in the same picture with my wife when we were basically toddlers, its unbelievable" says Alex.

Really makes us ponder about the thousands of people we brush against on a daily basis doesn't it?

A cursed mobile phone number issued by Bulgarian Telco Mobitel (Morbitel?) is now being suspended after all 3 owners of that phone number died young and horribly within a 10 year span.

The number is (are you ready?) 0888 888 888. Yeap, the chinese will literally kill for such a number.

Victim #1

Victim number 1 was Mobitel's CEO himself, Vladimir Grashnov. He died of cancer in 2001 at age 48.

Victim #2

After his death, the number was transferred to a bulgarian mob boss, Konstantin Dimitrov. He died two years later, gunned down by a lone assassin while on a routine inspection of his drug smuggling empire. Apparently he pissed off some Russian mafia.

Victim #3

Lastly, the number was transferred to crooked businessman Konstantin Dishliev. Estate agent by day, he ran a cocaine smuggling business by night, and was gunned down in 2005 outside an indian restaurant.

After the last death, the number is said to have been suspended, and callers to the number will now receive a message saying the phone is "outside network coverage"

You can reach the number internationally at +359 888 888 888.

Do you dare?

So, is the number really cursed? I think aside from Mobitel's CEO, who's death can be deemed unfortunate, the other 2 victims' choice of career path seemed to have sealed their fates for them. Being a mob boss or a crooked businessman would have cut at least 20 years off their life expectancy, wouldn't it?

Not to mention the stress on the mob boss to feed all his minions and 3 wives, or the facade the estate agent has to maintain, on top of the everyday worries of being assasinated by rival gangs.

I say give the number another chance. Only this time, assign it to someone more... normal?
