Internet is for porn (from Artemyst) – This is not a porn movie.. Just a wow movie about internet is for porn. Hilarious video! I’m thinking the video is from WoW, but I can be wrong. The song sounds like it was originally imitating Sesame Street characters. Thanks for MandalayX for updating me with this information. Apparently, this song was from a Broadway musical done called Avenue Q by Avenue Q. You can check out the album on Amazon.com or iTunes.
Is it best to expect the worst? (from /.) – Most people believe that mentally preparing for the worst outcome in an examination or race will soften the disappointment if we flunk or flop – and heighten the joy if we succeed. But the idea has rarely been put on scientific trial. Quite an interesting study and the results are quite shocking. Does that mean what I’ve practice all these years in college was all for nothing? Anticipating failure at a forthcoming mathematics test or public talk, for example, is thought to help some anxious people motivate themselves to study harder and avert their dismal prophesy. Psychologists call such individuals ‘defensive pessimists‘. I think I’m a defensive pessimists according to psychologist… though, even if I anticipate failure, I don’t bother studying harder. Hahaha.
The Wisdom of Parasites (from /.) – As an adult, Ampulex compressa seems like your normal wasp, buzzing about and mating. But things get weird when it’s time for a female to lay an egg. She finds a cockroach to make her egg’s host, and proceeds to deliver two precise stings. The first she delivers to the roach’s mid-section, causing its front legs buckle. The brief paralysis caused by the first sting gives the wasp the luxury of time to deliver a more precise sting to the head. Basically what’s happening is these wasp like insects are turning cockroaches into zombies that hosts their eggs. Pretty scary…

McDonald’s videogame (from Deadlock) – Making money in a corporation like McDonald’s is not simple at all. Behind every sandwich there is a complex process you must learn to manage: from the creation of pastures to the slaught, from the restaurant management to the branding. You’ll discover all the dirty secrets that made us one of the biggest company of the world. This game actually entertained me for quite some time. It reminds me of one of those Sim games where you have to manage many aspects in order to make profit. Here you have to manage cows and cow feed, the slaughtering, the cooking (if you can call that) and cashiers, the promotions/advertisements, and even the corrupting of officials. Then you also have to worry about organizations rallying against you, disgruntled employees who spit in the food, diseased cows, and even land from getting overused.
Overcrowed Disneyland in Hong Kong (from JS8) – This video link was taken from TVB 6:30 Evening News. It’s completely in Cantonese, but you can pretty much make out what’s happening. Due to Chinese (Lunar) New Year, many tourists are visiting Hong Kong and visiting the new Disneyland. Of course with bad planning, the park was overbooked and people who purchased tickets months in advance weren’t able to get in. Some people accepted the refund offer, but others who had planned this vacations months in advance got physical and even started to jump over the gate. At 1:30pm, they reopened the gate, but the situation wasn’t any better. The line for teacup was 2hrs according to a man. I wonder what the wait time for the better rides were.
