Religion Resulted From Astrology?
**This video is not easy to watch if you are weak in faith**
This video is trying to prove that most religions comes directly as a result of astrology. While it is compelling to believe it, we must also remember that there is more to Christianity than what is said here. And it is really coincidence that the stars happened to be related to religions. It only seems reasonable because the author has twisted the words to fit his hypothesis and presented in a very convincing way, totally bypassing a lot of evidence that disagrees with the notion.

"Singapore Car crash manfred!!!!"
Alright, this is just creepy.. I happened to be surfing YouTube videos to search for clips to use for a video project when I encountered this video titled, "Singapore Car crash manfred!!!!". For a quick moment, my heart just dropped. Lol. I have had a car accident way back in Dec 2008. So the first thought that came to my mind is "who recorded my accident..?" Turns out that the video is nothing in relation to my accident.. Whew.. So coincidental that another Manfred in Singapore also had a car accident. O.O

The Chicken Came First!
It's a popular debate: "Did the chicken or egg come first?"
The answer is the chicken came first, according to some British researchers from the universities of Sheffield and Warwick I do not know what motivated them to try to answer the question but apparently, they found that the egg could not have come first because the shell could only be produced by proteins found in a chicken. Therefore, the chicken must have been around first to lay the first egg, thus putting this age-old conundrum to rest.
Check out the source if you really want to read about the scientific stuff and the protein that makes the eggshell.. The Chicken Came First
The "Perfect Handshake" Formula
Ok, this is not a joke. Scientists of the University of Manchester were hired by Chevrolet as part of some PR training workshop and they came up with this formula as a guide to perform a "perfect handshake". But honestly, a handshake is just a handshake. LOL. If you have some free time, feel free to decipher the formula below. Have fun! =P
PH = (e² + ve²)(d²) + (cg + dr)² + π{(4< s >2)(4< p >2)}² + (vi + t + te)² + {(4< c >2)(4< du >2)}²
Where (e) is eye contact (1=none; 5=direct) 5; (ve) is verbal greeting (1=totally inappropriate; 5=totally appropriate) 5; (d) is Duchenne smile - smiling in eyes and mouth, plus symmetry on both sides of face, and slower offset (1=totally non-Duchenne smile (false smile); 5=totally Duchenne) 5; (cg) completeness of grip (1=very incomplete; 5=full) 5; (dr) is dryness of hand (1=damp; 5=dry) 4; (s) is strength (1= weak; 5=strong) 3; (p) is position of hand (1=back towards own body; 5=other person's bodily zone) 3; (vi) is vigour (1=too low/too high; 5=mid) 3; (t) is temperature of hands (1=too cold/too hot; 5=mid) 3; (te) is texture of hands (5=mid; 1=too rough/too smooth) 3; (c) is control (1=low; 5=high) 3; (du) is duration (1= brief; 5=long) 3.

The Chronicles of Narnia - Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Coming out 9 December 2010.
The official trailer of the Chronicles of Narnia - Voyage of the Dawn Treader was released a couple of weeks ago and already I'm all excited to go watch the movie. I admit I've not read the story books or anything, but I don't need that to enjoy the movie when it comes out.
**Warning: Geeky stuff below**
I really love the trailers for the Narnia series, especially the Lion, Witch and Wardrobe one. However this trailer really struck me because, unlike the Prince Caspian trailer, used the same elements, which I absolutely loved, as the first one. From now on, I'm only talking about the similarities between the Lion, Witch and Wardrobe trailer and the Voyage of the Dawn Treader trailer..
The title animations such as "This Christmas", etc etc, used the same fly in style with snow background and a small flare right at the end when it sets in. Also, the end title reveal where they show the movie title, uses the same music as the Lion, Witch and Wardrobe trailer title reveal. The format is also the same for both trailers, with Aslan roaring before the title flies in and the Narnia logo is constructed, followed by the subtitle twirling in by the individual letters..
I also like Aslan's voice.. Really cool. Haha. Yup, if you had read thru all that, I think ur expression would be (O.o)
