….And it’s really pissing them off…..the women in a village called Uzumlu…..are saying no because they don’t want to be trapped there forever….and the men think that’s ridiculous…..the last wedding took place nine years ago.….and since then the population of women has fallen from 400..…to 233…..and many of the women have moved away…one protester held a banner asking the Turkish president for help.….and he’s opposing birth control…and thinks women should at least have two to three children.….the men in the village promise if he steps in and finds a solution to their problem they will make sure their wives will have at least five kids……no wonder they’re leaving!
T-SHIRT HELPS BREAK DOWN LANGUAGE BARRIERS WHEN TRAVELING ABROAD…..Forget splitting atoms…..or wasting time trying to find another dimension…or even trying to develop a newer and improved pooper-scooper…..this is the best idea so far in 2016…..George Horn and his friend Florian Nast were traveling through Asia…and wound up in a backwoods village with no streets, no tourist and a few locals.….and couldn’t communicate their needs to them.….and yes when you travel and you don’t know the language…..you’re the stupid one..…when they returned back home….they came up with the Iconspeak T-shirt…..because being in such situations got them thinking about how to bridge the language barriers as simply as possible.….and with this Icon shirt…you can speak….and people will understand…..let’s say you want to know what time the bus is arriving…..you point to the icon clock and the bus on your shirt…..looking for a restaurant…..point to food…..tired….point to the bed…..telephone…..point…..and people are quick to understanding what you mean…..so the next time you’re going to Bulgaria…..and you don’t speak the language…..go to the Iconspeak website.….and order a T-shirt.
NAKI SUMO BABY CRYING CONTEST IN TOKYO, JAPAN….Most of the time parents want their kids to shut up…..but at this festival.…the goal is to get the babies to start and keep crying to get rid of demons…..it takes place every year at the Sensoji Temple…by pairing a baby with a sumo wrestler..…who will try to get the little baby to start screaming…..this dates back hundreds of years…..to a simple proverb….. “Naku ko wa sodatsu”…..which means… “Crying babies grow fat”…..another reason for the festival.…is the belief that somehow the piercing wails work to drive off nearby demons that would bring you harm…..the sumo wrestlers sometimes put on a scary mask and scream….. “CRY, CRY, CRY” into their faces…..and the best crier is ensured a long and healthy life.
SPANISH COMPANY CREATES HIGH-TECH MATTRESS THAT DETECTS INFIDELITY.….Oh snap!…..a Spanish company called Durmet….invented a special infidelity-detecting mattress that is embedded with ultrasonic sensors that can capture even the slightest “suspicious movement” in bed.….they came up with the idea after the Spaniards were crowned the most unfaithful people in Europe….the Lover Detection System…has 24 ultrasonic sensors in the mattress…..and can sense when the mattress receives abnormally high amounts of pressure…..which transfers this info to a mobile app…..and the software generates a 3D map that shows exactly which areas of the mattress are receiving the most pressure.…man,.…this company ain’t gonna make a dime!
CAN YOU OUTRUN A FART?….Tell the truth….how many of you have tried that?….raise your hands…..all ya lyin!…..because you know…..somewhere in your life…..you cut the cheese..…and tried to scoot over….and blame it on someone else….and if you didn’t know… the average person…..farts 10 times a day!
COMPASSIONATE STORE OWNER OFFERS SHOPLIFTER A JOB INSTEAD OF CALLING THE POLICE…..Good person folks…..good person…..a manager at Tesco hypermarket in Malaysia.….caught a man stealing.….but instead of calling 5-0…..he offered him a job……the shoplifter is a 31-year-old father of three……and he stole 7 bucks worth of food out of sheer desperation……he had to quit his job as a contract worker…..because his wife fell into a coma during birth complications..…now he’s living with his relatives..…he knew his two-year-old was hungry and tired…..so he walked into the market……walked around for an hour and then decided to grab a pear, an apple and a few bottles of drinks….and he was caught..…the manager Radzuan Maásan spoke with him……he was honest and told his story to him.….once he knew his situation…..it touched him…..he said his son was starving, he was not a thief and he worked over 23 years in retail.….Radzuan decided not to lodge a police complaint because he was unable to work and look after his three children.….instead…..he gave him a job.
UTAH DECLARES PORN A HEALTH HAZARD….And this coming from a state which says.….polygamy is okay…..the bill doesn’t actually ban pornography…..they only want to protect their families and young people and want to take great efforts to prevent porn exposure and addiction.….because it perpetuates a sexually toxic environment….and is contributing to the hypersexualisation of teens and even prepubescent children in their society…really?…..well you need to ban computers…..because any horny teenager can find porn on the net.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST…..KOBE BRYANT….Now I have to admit….I didn’t like him for a long time….show-boater…..ball hogger.….trash talker…..and yes people can misunderstand arrogance and confidence…..and I chose the first…..only to realize later…..I was wrong..….for 20 years..…he took the NBA to a new level…..played with determination…..through the pain and injuries…..never gave up.….won 5 NBA championships..…18 All-Star game appearances…..and on his final game of a great career.….his teammates kept feeding him the ball….and he scored 60 points…..when he was supposed to play the 1st and 3rd quarters and part of the 4th…..and again he played through the pain…and you are right Kobe…..when you were on the court…..you played with your heart and soul…..well done Mr. Bryant….and you will truly be missed!
