Sharks Can Reproduce Alone!

An article from Washington Post reports that a team of researchers found out Sharks can reproduce alone...through the process known as parthenogenesis...

What a weird animal! I'm sure those females miss lots of fun too... =)

母亲节快乐!

看了一篇Blog, 标题是”The Coolest, Cheapest Mother’s Day Gift Ever”, 实际上就是作者在他的Blog里祝他的母亲和他的老婆(有个小孩子)母亲节快乐.

小的时候只知道让父母去疼爱自己, 只有长大了才渐渐了解到父母为自己的成长付出了很多很多. 物质上的付出是可以用金钱去衡量的, 但无私的爱却是无价的. 自己的今天, 是父母的教育,培养和创造的条件而来的.

妈, 母亲节快乐!!

World's Highest (and most Retarded) Swing

The city of Harbin in the province of Heilongjiang built the world's highest swing - that is on top of a 1,100ft TV tower.

It is called "Game of brave people"...but how reliable could it be?

Transformers Pictures

Apparently, Director Michael Bay has his own blog (and I'm just too dumb to know it sooner). He just posted some HIGH RESOLUTION Transformer pictures to his blog that I'm sure many fans will appreciate.



Check them out!!!

Spelling Checker Can't Help You

I got this weird email in my Inbox, and I think at least a couple of things are wrong:

1. Games for Windows magazine gives an Apple iPod as a gift? Reversely, think about Steve Jobs gives his royal customers a copy of Windows Vista for reward. It's just NOT right;

2. An 80MB iPod? That's an incredibly small hard disk...Whoever wrote this email is a pretty retarded. And Spelling Checker just can't help him;

I'm not sure I want to read this magazine at all. This is a Marketing disaster...

锻炼身体是意志和耐力的考验

停顿了一年多之后, 我再次回到公司的健身房开始锻炼(a.k.a.减肥). 中途看到公司CEO也进来了. 快60的人了, 身体好得不得了. 做Back Extension的时候手里还可以捧一个50磅的铁盘. 然后再一手拿一个25磅的哑铃耍来耍去.

我心虚地想自己到了他这个岁数的时候会不会能有这么好的身体. 明明是青年, 却感觉体力很差, 再加上工作压力和懒惰, 每天只想吃饱喝好, 也许不到40岁就虚得不行了. 2005年底锻炼的四个月对我来说收益很大, 体检的时候心跳一分钟不到60次, 胆固醇也超低.

为了活得久, 就要保养和锻炼. 锻炼对青少年人是娱乐的副品, 小的时候打了一天篮球后感觉到的是放松和舒坦. 但对青年和中年人来说就是意志和耐力的考验了. 锻炼身体是辛苦的, 我不是那种在锻炼中可以享受到幸福的人. 现在体重大约158磅, 但愿有一天我可以在保持体重不变的情况下成功地把身体上的肥肉转换很肌肉...

老电影

周末没空看篮球, 出去忙了两天 - 买东西和给汽车维修 (换机油, 做排气检查, 换轮胎). 去Costco买东西的时候看到有福尔摩斯的老电影, 1988年和1992年出品的. 于是买了一套.

回家和LP聊天, 忽然觉得自己老了. 以前看电影的时候有很多角色的人物都喜欢看Classics(老电影), 甚至有的是黑白片, 我都觉得很无聊. 没想到现在自己也很喜欢看了. LP安慰我说家里还有Xbox 360和PlayStation 2, 所以还是童心未老. 我却觉得自己是处于一个心理变化阶段的边缘, 逐渐地变老. 看来平时要多花点时间玩玩游戏机.

Yao and TM Suck

After leading the 1st round of 2007 NBA playoff series by 2-0 against the Utah Jazz, Houston Rockets LOST the series in the 7th game in their HOME court.

I think this is the biggest joke ever - both Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady were Super Stars of the NBA, yet they could not win the 1st series against bunch of young players who are more desperate to win than they are.

Put it simply, Yao and TM Suck!

How many tourist is too many?

The 1st week of May is the "Golden Week" in China. Many tourists travel to different cities for vocation, and Beijing is one of the most popular ones.

On May 2nd, 2007, close to 115 thousands people visited Forbidden City of Beijing. Forbidden City is now a museum in Beijing that once was the Imperial Palace.

I'm sure the Emperor never thought there would be so many people come to his Palace in one day...

Transform your Chevy Autobots

Chevrolet is taking full advantage of the upcoming Transformers movie. They launched a new site that allows visits to build their Autobots using pre-selected Chevy vehicles...A good idea to attract young buyers, a good marketing strategy, a potential boost of their sales...

Damn! Can't wait to see the movie!
