This is the coldest joke I've received in my email to date

Copied word for word. Read on.


Imagine you are in Hwange. You have been tied hanging on a tree with a rope anchored on the ground, a candle is slowly burning the rope, and the lion is waiting for you to drop and be his lunch.






Your survival hinges on the rope staying intact, there is no one
around to help you. The only possible way is to somehow convince the
lion to BLOW the candle out. How do you do that?

NDP 2007 spoiler

I was at the Esplanade this afternoon, and I came across this set up. This year's NDP sure is different. It should be the first time that boats are used as part of the display.






They have a lot of big balloons this year. The one on the extreme left reminds me of an Easter Egg. Not sure of their purpose apart from aesthetics, but maybe they help to keep the platform afloat - a nicely disguised safety feature.






I saw the Police Coast Guards doing their dry runs around the bay. It looks like their making turns at relatively high speed, nothing really spectacular. What was I expecting? Stunts a la Jackie Chan.






The people who helps to keep our city safe and sound. Much of the area around the Esplanade has been cordoned off for the National Day Parade. It's be very crowded at night when people flock over to watch the previews (from the barriers), but I won't be around to find out.

Good movie lines

I was spending a quiet night at home. Clouds gathered overhead, blanketing the sky and telling of imminent rain. A gentle breeze was blowing.

Just as I stuck my head out of the window to get a better look at the ominous weather, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky. I've never seen lightning so sudden, and so close to me before.

It was almost as though someone was threatening me not to stick my head out of the window.

I didn't pull my head back in however. The lightning didn't seem scary. Maybe it's just like a line I heard while watching a movie not long ago:

"人最害怕的不是死亡，而是脆弱"
