Dog Saliva: the Next Wonder Drug?

Posted by andrew on July 25th, 2005

In a 1990 study done at the University of California, Davis, researchers found dog saliva killed E. coli and Streptococcus canis, another harmful bacteria. The scientists concluded that when mother dogs licked their nipples it helped keep puppies free from disease, and that dogs licking their own wounds accomplished the same goal.

This is an old study, but I came across it only recently and thought it’s kinda interesting.

I like this quote from the article:

I’ll never turn my head from my dog’s kiss again.

Ugly Malaysian 1

Posted by andrew on July 23rd, 2005

Today, I added this new section to my blog of amusing stuff. Yes, it’s a category for ugly people. Ugly in this context, does not mean “not good looking”, it means people with bad attitude and do stupid stuffs.

To start off this segment, today I met 3 ugly buggers in Malaysia. They were supposed to clean the air-conds of the house next door, but instead, they flirted threw stones and splashed water to my dog. Below are the photos of them, not too clear though(click image to enlarge).

Two of the buggers but they didn’t look like they were the one who threw the stones.

I think this was the person who threw the stone to my dog. He stared at me when I was standing outside with my dog.

My poor dog.

Make sure you don’t pay them to clean your air-cond. Bloody nuisance.

That’s the kickoff for my new blog category, the Hall of Shame for ugly people.

Broadband Networking Via Human Skin

Posted by andrew on July 23rd, 2005

NTT, the Japanese communications giant, has recently developed a technology called RedTacton, which it claims can send data over the surface of human skin at speeds of up to 2Mbps — the equivalent of a fast broadband data connection.

To work, a transmitter is attached to a portable device, such as an MP3 player, which then uses the human electrical skin field to send data to another receiving device. The transmission is achieved by minutely modulating the electrical body field in the same way that a radio station wave is modulated to carry broadcast data.

Will this encourage more skin contact among ourselves in future? :)

Suicide Sheep

Posted by andrew on July 22nd, 2005

First one sheep jumped to its death. Then stunned Turkish shepherds, who had left the herd to graze while they had breakfast, watched as nearly 1,500 others followed, each leaping off the same cliff, Turkish media reported.

In the end, 450 dead animals lay on top of one another in a billowy white pile.

Weird right? Sheep committing suicide…hmmm… 1501 sheep jumped, 450 dead.
