Late Sunday thoughts and stuff...

Remember that Information Minister who didn't seem to read books? Thought of him for some reason when I saw this quote the other day:
"The man who does not read good books has no advantage
over the man who cannot read them."
- Mark Twain

Saw this at arod's place: i totally agree with Australia's stand. i think the UK and the US could do with such a stance. those extremists (and to me DEVIANTS of the true teachings of the religion) might as well just go to Iran or Saudi Arabia or whereever they feel "true Islam" with its Shariah laws and everything are practiced.. go lah, by all means. Let the rest of us reasonable people who actually use our *gasp!* akal stay on and attempt to put right all the damage you have done to the religion, in the name of the religion.

Ever since The Star ran an article last week highlighting house husbands, there have been people writing in both supporting and denouncing the practice. Some person stuck in lala land actually said that having the husband in charge of housework would result in the kids getting all confused and turning gay.

no kidding y'all.

sometimes i really wonder what planet some people come from.


And to round it off... a joke:

A blonde lady motorist was about two hours from San Diego when she was flagged down by a man whose truck had broken down. The man walked up to the car and asked, "Are you going to San Diego?" "Sure," answered the blonde, "do you need a lift?" "Not for me. I'll be spending the next three hours fixing my truck. My problem is I've got two chimpanzees in the back which have to be taken to the San Diego Zoo. They're a bit stressed already so I don't want to keep them on the road all day. Could you possibly take them to the zoo for me? I' ll give you $100 for your trouble."
"I'd be happy to," said the blonde. So the two chimpanzees
were ushered into the back seat of the blonde's car and carefully strapped into their seat belts. Off they went.
Five hours later, the truck driver was driving through the heart of San Diego when suddenly he was horrified!! There was the blonde walking down the street and holding hands with the two chimps, much to the amusement of a big crowd. With a screech of brakes he pulled off the road and ran over to the blonde. What the heck are you doing here?" he demanded, "I gave you $100 to take these chimpanzees to the zoo."
"Yes, I know you did," said the blonde," but we had money left over---so now we're going to Sea World......
