我并知道潘星谊是谁, 出国N年了, 我对国内流行的明星大腕也一无所知了. 不过今天看新闻说潘星谊昨日意外身亡, 索性百度了一下, 果然很可惜. 很漂亮的一个人, 接个电话, 摔了一下, 身边的鱼缸碎了, 把大动脉割破了...

  据最早赶到现场的北京记者了解,潘星谊大约是在20日上午7点半左右发生意外的。小区保安告诉记者,早晨他们接到消息后,立刻赶到了潘星谊的家里。" 当时,就看到这个年轻女孩躺在地上一动也不动,脖子、胸口那里不停地往外冒血,她家里人只能用毛巾把伤口裹上,已经打了120。那女孩爸爸跟我说,他当时 正在厨房里做饭,突然听到'咣啷'一声,出来就看到鱼缸碎了一地,女儿倒在地上受伤了。"
  那位保安还透露,潘星谊的父亲说,女儿视力不好,鱼缸边上有部电话,他猜女儿可能是要打电话的 时候,不小心滑倒了,撞坏了鱼缸。那位保安接受采访的时候是上午9点多,当记者随后赶到潘星谊被送往的北医三院时,得到的已然是抢救无效的结果。一条生命 就这样逝去,谁也无从得知,那个她本来想打的电话,究竟是要打给谁的。

好象人有的时候一个人生死有命...看了觉得这个人很可惜. 感慨一下...

Crazy! A couple of pedestrians were almost killed!


I found a Blogger Template that was based on Google Chrome's style and updated my Blog .

I think now it looks simpler and more friendly to read.

6. 一人初上飞机想吐,空姐取一空袋,快满时又去取袋,并嘱咐"别乱吐"。待回来时见遍地都是,问其因,答道:"我见快满了,又喝了一口,周围人就都吐 了……"

7. 上学一向不安分,大一时第一次上自学,偶坐在教室郁闷,随即跑到过道抽烟。
    刚点着烟没一会,来了个PL女生,问寡人,"现在上自习呢!你怎么跑出来 了?"
    我说,无聊出来抽烟,MM你是哪班的?怎么也跑出来了。
    PLMM指着我们教室说,那个班的!
    当时偶好激动的说,我们一个班的啊?怎么,你也郁闷吗?
    她说:嗯,我们班一个新生上自习跑出去了,我出来找他。
    偶笑笑,看来也还有坐不住的,你找他干啥,你又不是他妈!
    MM:没办法啊,我是他班主任!

    一分钟后,憋出一句话:老师,你看着真年轻……

8. 昨天去吃肯德基,排在我后面的像是一对儿情侣,眼看他们点了一大堆吃的,然后坐到我旁边。坐下后,那个女孩就开始埋头猛吃,好像饿了好几天的样子,而男孩则一根一根地啃着薯条,好像有什么心事。
    
    突然,男孩放下薯条,往前凑了凑,很认真地问:"青青,我追你行吗?"
    女孩头也不抬,直接说:"不行!"
    男孩又问:"一点可能也没有吗?"
    女孩干脆地说:"一点可能也没有!"
    男孩愣住了,两眼直直地看着她,呆在那里……
    当时,女孩一手拿着鸡腿,一手拿着汉堡,觉得男孩在看她,于是暂停大吃,然后用可怜的眼神看着那个男孩,小声说:"那……我还能吃吗?"
    旁边包括我在内的人都笑出声来,那男孩很无奈,忙说:"吃吧,吃吧……"

9. 一天在公共汽车上人太多了,特别热,特别闷不知谁放了一个屁,这下是环境更加恶化。我朋友实在受不了,又不知道是谁,没办法。正好,售票员正在 问:"谁没有买票?"我朋友忽生一计,大声说:"放屁的没买票!"忽然,一个特别胖的女人,手高高的举着票,大声说:"我已经买票了!"

不几日,那贼真的把车给还回来了,小静很是高兴,但她担心车被再次"借"走。遂买了十把大锁,把车子五花大绑地锁了个牢实,还给贼贴了张纸条:看你还怎么"借"!次日早晨小静下楼的时候,发现车上多了五把锁,锁上还有一张纸条:看你还怎么骑!
11. 这个事发生在本人中学的时候,时至今日,堪称一绝。

Here is an article that explains why both the British and the French submarines did not know each other at the time of their collision - superior stealth technology and the usage of passive sonar.

No wonder submarines are so lethal - they can truly be invisible once submerge into the ocean!





Wash your body with a mouse soap....

Taiwan has the most number of PC mouse manufactures in the world.  I'm guessing the soap was invented by a Taiwanese mechanical engineer who was thinking about his project while holding a soap in shower!



Yet another sad and pathetic story of a Chinese parvenu.  Sometimes when sudden wealth was gifted to a person without the matching education and culture competency for handling the fortune, money and resource are spent on meaningless actions that lead to tragedies in life.  I suppose similar or worse situations may take place anywhere else as well in this world, but this story is particular bizarre and sad...

According to a piece of news from CNN:

A married Chinese businessman who could no longer afford five mistresses held a competition to decide which one to keep.

But the contest took a fatal turn when one of the women, eliminated for her looks, drove the man and the four other competitors off a cliff, Chinese media reported.

The spurned mistress died and the other passengers were injured, the reports said.

Police initially thought the car had plummeted off a mountain road in eastern China on December 6 by accident. Then they learned of the contest through a letter the dead woman had left behind, the Shanghai Daily newspaper said.

The 29-year-old woman, identified only as Yu, was a waitress when she met the businessman at a restaurant in the coastal city of Qingdao in 2000.

At the time, the businessman, identified only by his last name -- Fan -- was married and had four other mistresses, according to the Peninsula Metropolis Daily newspaper in Qingdao.

The women knew of one another, but none elected to break up with the man and give up their rent-free apartment and a 5,000 yuan ($730) monthly allowance, the reports said.

When the economy soured, the businessman apparently decided to let go of all but one mistress.

He staged a private talent show in May, without telling the women his intentions. An instructor from a local modeling agency judged the women on the way they looked, how they sang and how much alcohol they could hold, the Shanghai Daily said.

The judge knocked out Yu in the first round of the competition based on her looks. Angry, she decided to exact revenge by telling her lover and the four other women to accompany her on a sightseeing trip before she returned to her home province, the media reports said.

It was during the trip that Yu reportedly drove the car off the cliff.

Fan shut down his company after the crash and paid Yu's parents 580,000 yuan ($84,744) as compensation for her death.

The four other women left him, as did his wife when she learned of the affairs.

Why am I not surprised?


News from Gizmodo says a British submarine and a French submarine collided in the mid of Atlantic ocean just a few days ago without major damage.

Frankly I was a little surprised because I didn't (know/) believe submarine can be as stealthy as almost "invisible" to a nearby observer (in this case, another submarine).  No matter how quiet the engine and the propeller are, I assume the other submarine would "hear" something via its (military and "super sensitive") sonar.  In this case, I guess it must be that both submarines' engines were not running.

But it's still amazing that you just can't "see" such a big object (>100m long!) under the ocean when it comes to very close!

According to BBC news:

Both the UK and France insisted nuclear security had not been compromised.

It's also worth to point out the slim possibility of this collision considering how big the Atlantic ocean is!










Today is Friday, and today is the 13th!  According to Wikipedia,

...an estimated 17 to 21 million people in the United States are affected by a fear of this day. Some people are so paralyzed by fear that they avoid their normal routines in doing business, taking flights or even getting out of bed. "It's been estimated that [US]$800 or $900 million is lost in business on this day".[5] Despite this, representatives for both Delta and Continental Airlines say that their airlines don't suffer from any noticeable drop in travel on those Fridays.



Pretty amazing thoughts.  Here is the gallery with more pictures.


Here is a CNN headline "Canada geese brought Flight 1549 down, NTSB says"

I thought it was both funny and absurd to blame "Canadian" geese as the culprits of Flight 1549's accident, as of Canadian are all terrorists that bring trouble to the American people.

I'm sure pandas' passports would say "China" as their nationality, but how do people actually define the "nationality" of geese?  They travel between north and south all year round, and they cross the border without any documentations!

It reads to me like "don't worry people, our CIA and FBI agents are doing a great job of keeping our country free of terrorists.  Bad guys are either from Canada or somewhere else, even the birds!"




看到别人发的, 超搞笑, 不得不分享一下:

上班这一天其实可短暂了,电脑一开一关 一天过去了 嚎~?
电脑再一开一关 又一天过去了 嚎~?

上班这一天最痛苦的事儿是啥 知道嘛?就是"活干完了,还没下班!"
上班这一天最最痛苦的事儿是啥 知道嘛?就是"下班了,活还没干完!"
上班这一天最最最痛苦的是:" 上班时没有活 快下班了 来活了!"



自:

在校友录看到"毕业生简历被如此践踏"的新闻, 很有感触. 在国内找到一份称心的工作不容易. 企业需要好人才却招不到, 而不适合企业需求的知识分子又太多...


01

  网友曝出毕业生简历去向:无意间看到了大批的简历被雨淋,好奇心促使网友在一旁观看下去

02

  原来是在一个三轮车上,那么这些简历为什么被放在了这里?难道这个三轮车的车主是万分低调的老板?

03

  车主原来是收废品的老人。老人手中又提了一袋简历过来。

04

  这些简历有着求职大学生的多少心血啊。就这样被企业轻易丢人--当做废品丢弃!

05

  仅仅过了十分钟

06

  还有人把自己重要的证件都压上了,真是莫大的悲哀

今天看到一篇报道, 不知是真是假, 但是里面讨论的中国驾照考题真够雷人的! 举例如下:

1. 如果某人腹部受伤,肠子流了出来,你该怎样处理?
A.将它们塞回到他的腹内;
B.什么也不做;
C.用某种容器将它们扣住并用绷带把容器绑在伤者身上。

这道题的答案是C!


2. 驾驶者在开车中要吐痰时应该怎么做?

A.吐到车窗外;
B.吐到一张废纸里,然后把它扔进垃圾箱里;
C.吐到车内的地板上。 

答案是B!

实在想不通驾驶执照考试怎么会涉及到肠子问题...



中央电视台新大楼北配楼 (电视文化中心) 昨天发生火灾后, 我在网上试图找一些国内更详尽的报道, 结果没有什么收获. 我猜想是中国政府对媒体的报道有限制.  果不出所料, 今天看GIZMODO发现这方面的报道, 而且中央给各网站的文件通知都被报道出来.

Right now the official story is that the Mandarin Oriental, which was located at the top, caught fire from the myriad of fireworks set off to mark the Lantern Festival. Beijing usually bans the fireworks from its downtown area, but eases restrictions during the Spring Festival period (we really, really love our fireworks).

这里这里可以看到更多文化中心被烧后的照片.



这一烧不知道是几亿人民币的损失...



According to this news from Telegraph UK, the devastating Sichuan earthquake that killed thousands of people could be triggered by the constructions of dam near the fault line.

The 511ft-high Zipingpu dam holds 315 million tonnes of water and lies just 550 yards from the fault line, and three miles from the epicentre, of the Sichuan earthquake.

Now scientists in China and the United States believe the weight of water, and the effect of it penetrating into the rock, could have affected the pressure on the fault line underneath, possibly unleashing a chain of ruptures that led to the quake.

This is a dare claim.  The Chinese government (of course) denies any correlation between the quake and the constructions of massive projects.  However, ..."some state researchers in Beijing have called for a full investigation."

For mother earth, getting warmer by a couple of degrees is probably no big deal, but for the species living on this planet (e.g. you and me) and the entire food chain, it is a big problem!

Unfortunately, according to a new study conducted by Susan Solomon, one of the world's top climate scientists, the effect of climate change is essentially irreversible (after pumping CO2 into the atmosphere for more than 100years of industrial evolution).

"People have imagined that if we stopped emitting carbon dioxide that the climate would go back to normal in 100 years or 200 years. What we're showing here is that's not right. It's essentially an irreversible change that will last for more than a thousand years," Solomon says.

This means all the polar bears will die, we will experience more hot summers and less rain drops, the sea level will rise, and all kinds of crap and terrible things that will happen as a chain effect...Put it another way - we are officially screwed.
