:: Tribal Warriors ::

Visiting the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, my sister and I were admiring a beautiful tribal head-dress that was decorated with eagle feathers. A man came up to us and identified himself as Native American.
''Do you know how warriors got those?'' the man asked, pointing to the feathers we were admiring. ''They covered a hole with branches, tied a live rabbit on top of it and hid underneath. When an eagle swooped down for the kill, they would grab its wing or tail.'' ''Fascinating, '' I said. ''You learned that from your tribal elders?'' ''Actually, no, '' the man confessed. ''I saw it on the Discovery Channel.'' - Chris Lafferty, RDAsia.com

:: Son ::

Finally, after six girls, Luke's wife had a boy. But he had only a head and nothing else. Luke didn't care, though. He was just happy to have a boy.On his kid's 21st birthday, Luke took him to a bar. "A shot of your best Scotch," he ordered.The boy drank it, and -- POOF -- he grew a neck. Amazed, Luke then ordered another and -- POP -- a torso sprouted. "Keep them coming!" Luke shouted. Eventually, the boy had a whole body. Everyone cheered, his father loudest of all.Tipsy, the boy stood on his new legs and stumbled to the left... and to the right... and out the front door and into the path of a truck.The bar fell silent."You know," the bartender said. "He should've quit while he was a head."- Ashleigh Williams, RDAsia.com

:: The Comforter ::

Trying to comfort an old lady whose husband had recently been killed in an accident, a social worker gently asked her about the terrible event. " Oh, it was so unexpected", said the widow. " Tom told me that he was just going to the store to buy some lettuce for dinner. After a while, a policeman come to the door and said he had been hit by a bus while crossing the road and died instantly." "O you poor dear. Dush a terrible news. Whatever did you do?" said the social worker. The woman responded " What could I do? I had to open a can of peas". - Ron Middleton, RD May 2007

:: Waktu yang Paling Sesuai untuk Bersenam: Pagi vs Petang ::

Waktu pagi.
Kelebihan: 1. Udara masih segar & kurang pencemaran. 2. Bersenam diwaktu pagi bermakna anda akan "jump start" metabolisma anda. Itu bermakna anda akan membakar lebih banyak metabolisma sepanjang hari. Wow!
Kekurangan: 1. Diwaktu pagi, perjalanan darah masih perlahan & ia meningkatkan risiko enghadapi kecederaan. 2. Mengurangkan waktu tidur semata2 untuk bersenam akan menyebabkan anda kurang stamina & kepenatan sepanjang hari.

Waktu petang:
Kelebihan: 1. Risiko untuk mengalami kecederaan adalah kurang kerana otot sudah panas & fleksibel. 2. Tenaga & tahap ketahanan anda berada di kemuncak, jadi anda boleh membuat senaman ke tahap yang paling ekstrem. Kekurangan: 1. Udara telah tercemar. 2. Bersenam dalam tempoh 3 jam sebelum tidur akan mengganggu kitaran tidur anda.

Verdict:
Pilih untuk bersenam diwaktu pagi jika anda memilih senaman di luar (outdoor). Walau bagaimana pun, senaman petang adalah lebih sesuai sekiranya anda mudah mengalami kecederaan @ cramp. Petang juga adsalah waktu paling sesuai untuk senaman berat seprti badminton kerana pada waktu tersebut, koordinasi mata & pergerakan tangan adalah di dalam kadar maksimum.

:: Men Talk As Much As women ::

In this age of gender equality, stereotypes that have persisted for centuries are being disproved and discarded. Now, a new study from the University of Arizona indicates that men talk as much as women, with both speaking around 16,000 words each day. These results debunk the stereotype of the "female chatterbox and silent male," labels that are damaging to both sexes. In order to gather the data samples, 210 students wore recording devices that captured 30 seconds of sound every 12 ½ minutes.

:: How to Exercise our Freedom ::

Exercising freedom:
1) Live it.Bring your beliefs to life through what you do, say, and think.
2) Don’t judge aothers. Hard, I know. But each person is struggling in his @ her own way to live deeply held beliefs.
3) Protect your freedom at home. Don’t tease people for being different @ strange. Treat each family members with respect @ love.
4) Don’t force anything on others. Not your belief, not freedom, not food, not sex, not nothing.
5) Be thankful. We live in incredible time coz we eat more than we can digest, we live longer than anyone ever has, women are free to love, live, and work as they want. So, appreciate it.

:: Berkongsi Sabun Mandi Bermakna Berkongsi Bakteria? ::

Adakah benar apabila kita berkongsi sabun mandi dengan individu yang lain, bermakna kita juga berkongsi baktera & kuman? Jangan panik. Menurut seorang pakar di Unilever Home & Personal Care, tahap kelembapan yang terdapat pada sabun mandi adalah sangat rendah sehinggakan tiada sebarang mikroorganisma yang mampu tumbuh di permukaannya. Walau bagaimana pun, jangan berkongsi sabun dengan seseorang yang mempunyai penyakit kulit kerana bulu yang telah dijangkiti mmungkin melekat pada sabun tersebut.

:: How Much Water Do You Really Need? ::

Does everyone need to drink the same 8 glasses of water everyday? A more accumulate way to determine your individual requirement is to divide your weight in half. The number, in ounces, is your recommended minimum daily fluid intake.

If you weight is 140 pounces, you should drink 70 ounces ( about 8 1/2 cups) of fluid daily. It is more if you exercise enough to sweat @ the wheather is very hot. In case of Malaysia, surely you have to drink a lot.

Remember: caffeinated and alcoholic beverages are dehydrating & alcohol does not count. Caafeinated drinks are count one-half.

:: The Worst Crocodile Attack in The History ::

The most deaths in a single crocodile attack incident may have occurred during the Battle of Ramree Island, on February 19, 1945, in what is now Burma. Nine hundred soldiers of an Imperial Japanese Army unit, in an attempt to retreat from the Royal Navy and rejoin a larger battalion of the Japanese infantry, crossed through ten miles of mangrove swamps which contained Saltwater Crocodiles. Twenty Japanese soldiers were captured alive by the British, and almost five hundred are known to have escaped Ramree. Many of the remainder may have been eaten by the crocodiles, although gunfire from the British troops was undoubtedly a contributory factor.
