More useless but cool information that you may or may not care about...

Long stuff but really interesting, read the whole thing

- When I was a kid I saw Dolphins on the Discovery channel and how they would ram sharks with their snouts if their babies were in harm's way. I found out several years ago that this is not true. Due to some specialized acoustics research I was involved in, I was privvy to find out that we now know Dolphins have a sensory organ in their forehead that is able to sense the vibrational rate of internal organs of other animals. If this doesn't sound amazing, let me eleborate.

The Navy has been doing research on acoustics weapons and has been studying Dolphins to find out more on how this sensory organ works. When threatened, it takes a Dolphin about 8-15 seconds to find the exact frequency of the beating heart inside the shark. Opposite frequencies cancel each other, and a Dolphin is capable of delivering this exact sound. They can't send it through the water though - the sound is too muffled by the time it reaches the shark. And now what we know is that they don't ram the shark with their snout, what they do is touch the shark with their forehead, and only with enough pressure to give solid bone conduction (sound transfers through solids 20x better than through air). The tap is light, and when their forehead is in contact with th shark, they emit a high pitched sound that is the exact opposite of the vibratory rate of the cells in the heart of the shark. This causes the shark's heart to explode, and it dies instantly.

- Some interesting "facts" about Cleopatra, you know, that Egyptian queen:
- Cleopatra was married to her own brother.
- Cleopatra also had inverted nipples (which she put rocks inside to make them stick out as normal)
- She also masturbated using a jar of bees as a vibrator. (Please don't ask me how, I'm as confused as you are)

- Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the 'fear of long words.' (Cruelty at its finest)

Alright.

And thanks to Joash for accompanying me to the Adelphi to repair the mp3 player and then to walk around Peninsular Plaza for fun. And then to Raffles City more or less to watch people. And yes, there's a lot of gay people, thanks to Ash's incredible gay-dar (pun on radar omglol im the kind of humoursdfsdjipojdsio). No offense of course, kind of sad that they are so much more unaccepted socially by the public than lesbians. Charmian's theory was that it's because girls are more emotional so it's okay for them to be close to each other but guys being close to each other is just not right. Makes sense but hmmm, leave it up to the rest of you to decide.

Then I was in this toilet cubicle and saw this "conversation" written on the wall. Something about this guy insulting gay people and there was this whole paragraph about how that guy is a "narrow-minded individual" brought up with a "pathetic education system". That's a lot of angst.

Anyway, we saw this group of rudeboys, all wearing 50s-60s style clothings. Hat + Black Suit + A-little-too-short long pants showing socks. Pretty cool sight. For people not in the know, rudeboys, according to what I know, are hardcore ska fans who dress up like that...for godknowswhat sake la. Why dress up as a music stereotype? Blings-blings + Jerseys + Bandanas + More blings-blings look ridiculous enough on the people who started dressing like that, what makes you think that you, some puny Chinese guy, can look good with that?

Anyway, downloaded a couple of songs, you should try listening if you're into this kind of music:

- Taking Back Sunday - A Decade Under The Influence
(Typical TBS music style, not surprised if Perfect 10 picks them up)

- The Suicide Machines - Your Silence
(Really strong song that just grabs your throat and starts punching your head the second you start listening to it, great drumming at the beginning too)
