I told you BARACK OBAMA made the right call on stem cell research!

Technology is fun!

A STEM cell therapy offering “natural” breast enlargement is to be made available to British women for the first time.

The treatment could boost cup size while reducing stomach fat. It involves extracting stem cells from spare fat on the stomach or thighs and growing them in a woman’s breasts. An increase of one cup size is likely, with the potential for larger gains as the technique improves.

A trial has already started in Britain to use stem cells to repair the breasts of women who have had cancerous lumps removed. A separate project is understood to be the first in Britain to use the new technique on healthy women seeking breast enlargement.

Professor Kefah Mokbel, a consultant breast surgeon at the London Breast Institute at the Princess Grace hospital, who is in charge of the project, will treat 10 patients from May. He predicts private patients will be able to pay for the procedure within six months at a cost of about £6,500.

Never EVER piss off your neighbours!

Just plane funny :)

A town councillor in Wales , Mark Easton, had a beautiful view of the mountains, until a new neighbour purchased the land below his house and built a new home.

The new home was 18 inches higher than the planning dept had approved, so Mark Easton, mad about his lost view, went to the local authority to make sure they enforced the roof line height. The new neighbour had to drop the roof height, at great expense

Recently, Mark Easton called the planning dept, and informed them that his new neighbour had installed some vents on the side of his new property.

Mark didn’t like the look of these vents and asked the planning dept to investigate. When they went to Mark’s home to see what the vents looked like, this is what they found…


The Local Authority said the vents can stay since there is no planning law referring to shutter design.

BRING ON THE FUTURE!

Green is for GO!

I must say after a discussion with some friends this weekend – i do agree – green cars are starting to drive me mad! I mean we here so much about them and we see them – but do they ever hit the roads?? Its getting a little silly now! Every car company on earth has designed their own green car – looks cool – has great stats etc BUT IT NEVER GETS MADE!!

Hopefully this will give us a fighting chance!

Jalopnik has just released the first ever public pics of the Tesla Model S concept electric saloon, as well some fairly detailed specs. How does a 480km range and 5.5 sec 0-100km/h sprint sound? Apparently, the entire platform will be developed in-house.  Head over to Jalopnik for more pics and the full scoop.

Is this the most HARDCORE MAN on the planet?

Good ol history

2x bomb survivor.jpg

THIS MAN SURVIVED TWO NUKES!!

93-year old Tsutomu Yamaguchi was recently recognized as the first survivor of both the Nagasaki and Hiroshima atomic bomb droppings of 1945. Allegedly, he still pisses depleted uranium.

Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip on Aug. 6, 1945, when a U.S. B-29 dropped an atomic bomb on the city. He suffered serious burns to his upper body and spent the night in the city. He then returned to his hometown of Nagasaki just in time for the second attack, city officials said.
“As far as we know, he is the first one to be officially recognized as a survivor of atomic bombings in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki,” Nagasaki city official Toshiro Miyamoto said.

Thousands of survivors continue to seek official recognition after the government rejected their eligibility for compensation. The government last year eased the requirements for being certified as a survivor, following criticism the rules were too strict and neglected many who had developed illnesses that doctors have linked to radiation

The lamest way to play a game and get hammered?

Drink cool be cool!


As long as there has been drinking there has also been drinking games. I’m sure the ancient Egyptians played quarters when chugging their ancient beer. The goal off the drinking game is to get sh!t-faced. Some drinking games are great while others are just plain lame.

beerhunter

1. Beer Hunter

All you need for this moronic game is a six-pack of beer, a box, and people who like drinking. Take one can. Shake it. Then put the can in the box with the others cans. Mix them around. One person picks a can, holds it to their head at an angle, and opens it. If it’s not the shaken can, then they drink it. If it is the can, they get a head full of wet beer. A game so stupid only a drunk could have invented it.

buffalo

2. Buffalo

For some reason this drinking game is very popular in Iceland. Everybody must use their left hand while drinking. (Except if you are left handed). If you see anyone drinking with the right hand, you shout, “BUFFALO! BUFFALO! BUFFALO!” Then you bang on the table and everybody joins in. The drinker must finish their beer to make everyone stop. Lame! Lame! Lame!

boatrace

3. Boat Races

Everybody divides into two even teams. Each team lines up opposite each other. Fill each glass full of beer and place it in front of each player. The first players on each team start the game by drinking all of their beer, then setting their glass back on the table. Then the next person drinks his beer, and so on. The first team to place their last empty glass on the table wins. No what they win? Nothing – because this game is moronic!

beat-the-barman

4. Beat the Barman

The player approaches the bar and orders a shot. He then pays with a large bill. ($20 for a $5 shot.)As the barman goes to get the change, the player must finish their shot. When the barman returns with the change, go back to step number 1.The game ends when:

The drinker falls over.

The barman punches drinker’s lights out.

Drinker gets thrown out.

The bar closes.

5. Edward Forty-Hands

Have your friends duct tape 40-ouncers to BOTH of their hands. The first one to finish their beer wins. The catch is, after you finish both large bottles you have find a way to pee with the 40-ouncers still duct taped to your hands. Dumb and dumber.

I would buy fresh flowers every day!

Design delight!

You know what really makes me mad – is that when people start a business ANY BUSINESS – they DONT think about the EXPERIENCE that their target market gets out of it. They open retail stores that are exactly the same as every one elses and it just makes life so F**KING boring! Come on people BE DARING try create something new that will make whatever people are doing fun / interactive so that not only do they appreciate the excellent business but also want to come back for the experience!! Some brilliant people have done just that with a flower market in BARCA!! WELL DONE ON SUCKING THE MARROW PEOPLE!!

Image

Barcelona’s new wholesale flower market — Mercabarna-Flor — near the Barcelona International Airport was designed by Willy Muller Architects.

The most striking features of the new market are the multi-faceted angular roof structure and the multi-colored outer shell inspired by an aerial view of flower fields in full bloom.

THE TRUTH REVEALED: JZ is NOT the only politician who lies!!

The Soap Opera of Politics

Come on – if you are one of those morons who still believes in the sanctity of presidents worldwide (other than for a moment when you think of Barack – cause seriously DAMN THAT DUDE IS COOL) then you are a moron and im amazed you can even switch your machine on in the morning!! But there have been a few beauties from the YANK presidents and they are NOT ALL from W – which in itself is some sort of miracle. Enjoy teh presidential brilliance!

6 of the Biggest Presidential Lies

George Bush

Despite what we may think or expect out of the highest ranking and most respected people in the country, they are still human beings.  For example, you might think that a doctor should be all prim and proper and perform with diligence and care.  Do not be fooled.  Even doctors do surgery after hangovers and smoking pot.

Pilots fly drunk all the time.  Cops arrest the wrong people.  Teacher have sex with their students.  Every single day crappy and unexpected things happen around us.  And even the highest ranking of people get into error filled situations.  And how do they react?  Many times, with lies.

Here are 6 of the biggest Presidential lies (I can’t imagine how many more “covered” Presidential lies there must be).

Harry Truman in 1945

Truman

“The first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base. That was because we wished in this first attack to avoid, in so far as possible, the killing of civilians.”

Though Hiroshima was the headquarters of a number of military units, it was mostly a civilian city. In fact, Hiroshima was rated a low military priority by the U.S. Army; that’s why it hadn’t been bombed yet. 140,000 people, almost all civilians, died as a result of the bombing

*Nothing ever came of it or happened to Truman

John F. Kennedy in 1961

JFK

“I have previously stated and I repeat now that the United States intends no military intervention in Cuba.”

Not only was the Bay of Pigs invasion organized and funded by the CIA, but Americans flew combat missions as well. One day after Kennedy made the above statement, an American pilot was shot down on a bombing mission over Cuba. Castro recovered the pilot’s bodies and kept it — frozen — for the next 18 years as proof.

Don’t get me wrong, Kennedy was a great guy, but he still more than likely cheated on his wife and certainly bended the truth from time to time.

Richard Nixon in 1974

Nixon

“I am not a crook”

His famous quote about the denial of his Watergate involvement.  Countless document and transcripts proved otherwise and Nixon was impeached.

This is perhaps one of the most famous lies in the history of America.Ronald Reagan in 1986

Reagan

“We did not — repeat — did not trade weapons or anything else for hostages — nor will we.”

Reagan approved the sale of over 2,000 anti-tank weapons to Iran in return for promises to release the American hostages there. Money from the sale of those weapons went to support the Contras’ war in Nicaragua.Bill Clinton in 1998

Clinton

Speaking after a White House presentation on child care, he told the nation, “I want you to listen to me. I’m going to say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”

In reality the man tapped that ass.

George Bush at Various Times

George Bush

“Weapons of Mass Destruction.”

Well? …………………………Well?…………………………Well?
