MiLi iPhone Projector

Posted by saintghost Friday, February 26, 2010 0 comments

We’ve seen plenty of pico projectors in the past, but here’s one that targets the iPhone specifically – the MiLi iPhone Projector. It works with the iPod as well, offering you a way of viewing all those GBs of video files stored on your device without having to squint your eyes after a while due to the screen size. After all, this projector will throw a much larger image onto any decent surface, letting not only you but others around to check out the latest episode in your favorite drama series. You can pick one up for £229.

Compatible with both the iPhone and the iPod (so anyone who hasn’t made the leap to iPhone yet is still ok), the MiLi Projector is the only portable media viewing device you’ll need. Not that many people need more than one, but you get the idea. It’s a bit like having a cinema in your pocket, but without the sticky floors and lack of leg-room, and with a maximum projection of 70 inches you’ll feel like you’ve stumbled into a very comfortable multiplex. There are some nice integrated speakers and even a remote control to adjust the whole thing with. You can either opt for good ol’ wall socket power or charge it up via USB, which will give you 1.5 hours of viewing time. The focus is fully adjustable, it’ll charge your iPhone/iPod, you can connect other external video devices like a PC, Laptop (perfect for presentations), DVD player or VCR thanks to the AV in/out connection… the list of features just goes on and on. Heck, it’s even got its own cute little stand

Breathing Therapy Makes you Relax

Posted by saintghost Wednesday, February 24, 2010 0 comments

The nose has a left and a right side; we use both to inhale and exhale..

Actually they are different; you would be able to feel the difference.
The right side represents the sun, left side represents the moon.
During a headache, try to close your right nose and use your left nose to breathe.

In about 5 mins, your headache will go?
If you feel tired, just reverse, close your left nose and breathe through your right nose.
After a while, you will feel your mind is refreshed.

Right side belongs to 'hot', so it gets heated up easily, left side belongs to 'cold'.

Most females breathe with their left noses, so they get "cooled off" faster.

Most of the guys breathe with their right noses, they get worked up.

Do you notice the moment we wake up, which side breathes faster? Left or right? ?

If left is faster, you will feel tired.
So, close your left nose and use your right nose for breathing, you will get refreshed quickly.

This can be taught to kids, but it is more effective when practiced by adults.

My friend used to have bad headaches and was always visiting the doctor

There was this period when he suffered headache literally every night, unable to study.

He took painkillers, did not work.

He decided to try out the breathing therapy here: closed his right nose and breathed through his left nose.

In less than a week, his headaches were gone! He continued the exercise for one month.

This alternative natural therapy without medication is something that he has experienced.

So, why not give it a try?

Tired at Work? Try the Workaholic Pillow!

Posted by saintghost 0 comments

George Costanza once tried to take a nap at work by curling up into a ball underneath his office desk. Unfortunately, his plan backfired with a bang. Too bad he didn’t have a workaholic pillow readily available to assist him in his quest for slumber.

The workaholic pillow is a pillow disguised as a gigantic book laced with professional-looking Chinese symbols. It’s apparently meant to resemble a law-book, although it looks more like the Book of Confucius.

It was recently released through Rinkya Stores of Japan, but is accessible to any international buyer with Internet access to GeekStuff4U, which likely means that the Chinese won’t be using it anytime soon.

At any rate, the basis behind this ingenious contraption is to fool your employer into thinking that you are hunched over and slaving over work—when you are in fact fast asleep. For, you see, upon opening the book, you come face to face with a doublewide foam pillow designed to perfectly fit your head, no matter how small or large it may be.

Of course if your boss is dim-witted enough to actually believe you’re reading when you’re clearly asleep, then you have nothing to worry about in the first place!

However, the key to using the workaholic pillow is to not actually fall asleep, but just rest instead. This will allow you to promptly flip the pillow back into a book whenever your supervisor approaches.

Condom Producers Use Condom Art to Promote Condom Use

Posted by saintghost Tuesday, February 23, 2010 0 comments

Can condoms be used for more than just preventing pregnancy, blocking STDs, or making a first-class water balloon? The folks at Guilin Latex Factories certainly believe so, which is exactly why they hosted the first-ever condom fashion show at the Fourth China Reproductive Health New Technologies and Products Expo in Beijing back during the summer of 2007.

It was a speculator event featuring a wide-range of outlandish ‘condom-gear,’ from dresses to hats and even lollipops. Here’s a brief gallery of the most highlighted items:

Giant Snake Found in China Scares Man to Death

Posted by saintghost Saturday, February 20, 2010 0 comments

A photo purporting to show a dead 55-foot snake has been making the rounds online, accompanied by a story that almost too outrageous to believe.

The photo and story originally appeared in the People’s Daily, which serves as the official newspaper for the Communist Party in China. It stated that the snake was one of two that were awakened by local workers digging up huge mounds of earth in preparation for a new road that was to cut through the forest that lay just outside of Gupiing city in the Chinese province of Jiangxi.

While one snake, which was reported to be 55-feet long and weigh approximately 300kg, became a casualty of the bulldozers digging, another one, described as a gold boa, appeared supposedly bearing its fangs, causing the workers to flee in terror.

The driver of the bulldozer, however, is said to have been paralyzed with fear. When the workers returned, he was so sick he could barely move, and eventually died at the hospital, presumably of a heart attack.

Despite the story and the accompanying photo, the local government has deemed it all a hoax, due in part to the distinct lack of native boas in that area. It was also thought the coelacanth was extinct until one was discovered in 1938, so to completely dismiss the story as a hoax is to laugh in the face of just how darned scary and unpredictable nature can be.

We’ve all seen the movie Anaconda. Where’s Jon Voight when you need him?

Indian Man’s Mirror Image Is No Illusion

Posted by saintghost 0 comments

When you stand in front of a mirror, it appears as if your right arm is in fact your left arm, and vice versa. It’s a peculiar experience, but you and I both know that it’s merely an optical illusion. There is, however, no illusion involved with Ashok Shivnani’s “situs inversus,” a condition wherein his major visceral organs are in the mirror opposite position of where they ought to be.

Ashok, a 64-year-old resident of Mumbai, was initially scheduled to have a 7cm-long tumor removed from his right kidney. It was after an X-ray was performed on him that his doctors realized something was not quite right. They discovered, in fact, that his aorta and inferior vena cava (IVC) were reversed. Plus Ashock has two livers, a stunted large intestine, and no small intestine—not to mention the tumor-infected kidney.

Even more shocking is the fact that Ashok had no clue about his unique condition, despite having survived two hernia operations, and having been inspected for chronic lung disease as well. He said, “Never in my life did I know that my body was different.”

According to doctors, Ashok is the only known individual on Earth to sport “such a haphazard abdominal structure.”

Thankfully, Ashok will not require treatment for his condition. “Generally, people suffering from situs invertus lead a fairly asymptomatic life,” said Dr. Desai. “This is also the case with Shivnani. He will not need any surgery to change the positions of the organs and veins.”

He will, however, still need to get that pesky tumor removed!

For more information and an inside look into Ashok’s life, check out the video clip below.

World’s Largest Paintbrush Wows at Exhibition in China

Posted by saintghost Sunday, February 14, 2010 0 comments

In what will most likely go down as one of the biggest wastes of time in history, a Chinese artist has created the world’s largest paint brush.

Recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records, artist He Wenjun constructed the over-sized paint applicator using the tails of 300 horses. It weighs in at approximately 115 pounds and is about twelve feet long.

It took He Wenjun one year to construct this artistic monstrosity, and another year to master its unwieldy power. The brush made its grand debut on a public canvas during an exhibition in Nanchong, where He Wenjun demonstrated his ability to rock the calligraphy, as these pictures demonstrate.

Ancient Chinese Secret: Have Sex But Stay a Virgin

Posted by saintghost 0 comments

In life you only get one first time… or do you?

Before answering that question, we must first ascertain why a someone might want more than one first time. The reasons are numerous, including religious, social and even economic; however, the most common reason is to avoid revealing one’s sexual history to a new lover.

So let’s suppose a woman decides that she wants to become a virgin again. What can she do?

Believe it or not, she can actually replace her broken hymen via hymenorrhaphy, a form of cosmetic surgery wherein the hymen tissue is pulled back together, thereby allowing it to be ‘re-popped.’ The problem with hymenorrhaphy, however, is that it’s outrageously expensive.

And so an alternative solution to hymenorrhaphy, many street peddlers in China now offer artificial hymens or maidenheads that inflate inside a woman’s vagina, after which it can be ‘popped’ open with a penis.

Within the last few years, in fact, the business of artificial hymens has blown up across China, bringing with it a bevy of artificial hymen kits such as Night Red, Virtuous Girl Red, and Joan of ARC Red.

And what’s most surprising is that most of these artificial hymens can be purchased for less than 50 US dollars, which is a steal compared to the price of hymenorrhaphy.

The sale of artificial hymens has actually popular nowadays that the streets of China are littered with ads proclaiming to restore a woman’s virginity:

“Your virginity back in 5 minutes!”
“The product of high-technology! Your unspeakable secret will be erased!”
”Get your virginity back for 260 RMB!”
“No surgery, no shots, no medicine, no side-effects. Only 260 RMB!”

LED Color Changing Shower Head with Remote

Posted by saintghost 0 comments

It’s not enough to have a hot shower, no, it’s time to take things up a notch. No, instead you need your own personal light show to go along with your off key shower singing. It’d be like your own personal spotlight, making you feel all important. Even if the rest of your household gets a serious headache every single time you take a shower.

This fancy shower head even comes with a remote so that you can change the coloring from outside the shower. Despite that the remote was created to go with a shower head that will pour out water, they don’t actually specify if it’s waterproof. There’s no need to hook the shower head up to a power source and the color changes according to the temperature. You can purchase one for $12.94 through Chinavasion.

2 Year-Old Chained to Pole in Beijing for Safety

Posted by saintghost Tuesday, February 9, 2010 0 comments

These photos, taken by photographer Han Meng, give us a startling look at what those who live well under the poverty line must do to ensure the safety of their children.

Chen Chuanliu is an unlicensed rickshaw driver in the city of Beijing who felt the most secure way to keep his two-year old son Lao Lu from being abducted is to chain him to a lamp post with a thick chain and padlock. A month prior his four-year old sister was abducted, a grim reminder of the prevalence of child abduction in China.

“My wife cannot take care of him and I have to work to support my family. So I chain him to a pole when I have a fare. I don’t even have a picture of my daughter to use for a missing-person poster. I cannot lose my son as well.”

Since Chuanliu is a migrant worker he is unable to receive help from the state and is thus unable to place his son in a child care facility while he works. The mother of the boy is unable to take care of him due to the fact that she is disabled and spends her days collecting trash on the side of the road.

Despite the man’s unique and seemingly dangerous approach toward child care, his love for his son is evident in his refusal to accept large sums of money in exchange for giving his boy up for adoption.

It is not known if charges have been filed by authorities, who were alerted by concerned passersby. They did, however, order the man to unchain the boy immediately.

Buso Renkin episode 26 Final episode

According to inspector R.P. Mishra, the incident began at Mukesh’s home, where a spousal disagreement blew over into something far worse.

Inspector Mishra further explains: “An ardent devotee of Lord Shiva, an angry Kumar left his house following a tiff with his wife for not being able to conceive. He went to the temple, where he offered his tongue to the deity.”

He was immediately shipped to a nearby hospital, where his tongue was reattached. Doctors claim he’s safe now, although he’s likely to suffer from future speech problems (Duh!).

Apparently, Mukesh hoped that his ’sacrificial tongue’ would inspire Lord Shiva to offer him a child.

You know, there are treatments for infertility. But hey… whatever floats his boat!

Armatix pistol won’t fire without the watch nearby

Posted by saintghost Tuesday, February 2, 2010 0 comments

I have never heard of the Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade Show, but I think it is just hysterical that it abbreviates to SHOT. It sounds like a fictional group in some anti-gun propaganda film.

Anyway, during SHOT, a German company known as Armatix had a smartgun like I have never seen before. This pistol is programmed not to fire unless you get a wireless arming signal from a special wristwatch.

As you can see from the photo, there is a green light. It means you can fire the gun. A red light means you can’t fire it. I’m not certain if the red warning light should mean that the gun will fire, so don’t mix up the light colors. The lights on the gun remind me of the phasers in the last Star Trek film.

Speaking of films, the Armatix really should be in a movie. Here’s the scene: some hero is trapped in a room with a bad guy who has an Armatix pistol. The bad guy is about to shoot him, and then the hero manages a precision knife throw that cuts off the wristwatch. The villain can’t shoot his gun with the watch.

Then the hero and the villain fight, and at some point, the hero gets the Armatix wristwatch in one hand, and the gun in the other. Then bang, final resolution, and credits.

Armatix wants to put a limited version of the high-tech pistol for about $9,700. That’s a pretty high price, but it is the gun of the future, today!

9 Year-Old Girl Gives Birth in China

Posted by saintghost 0 comments

Peru may well hold the world record for “youngest mother,” but China is definitely in the running as a nine-year old in northeast China has given birth to a healthy child.

Naturally, the parent’s have sought out legal help, as sex with a child under the age of fourteen brings with it an automatic rape conviction. According to hospital statistics, however, young girls not just becoming pregnant but seeking abortions is more common than you might think.

A report from a hospital in Shanghai revealed that approximately 30% of surgical abortions on young children in China were performed on individuals still in school. A hospital owned and operated by the People’s Liberation Army also revealed that 50% of these abortion were performed on women in either college or vocational schools.

The baby was delivered via cesarean section on January 27th at around noon, and weighed in at 2.75kg. According to reporters, the admission of the young girl to the hospital was a fairly taboo subject, and hospital staff were reluctant to discuss the matter. The reporter eventually learned from a registration form the girl’s name, and a nurse eventually revealed that the girl’s family is from Songyuan, and the circumstances surrounding her pregnancy were unknown.

Despite the young age of the mother and the potential for severe complications, it has been reported that the mother and her new baby are doing fine at Changchun hospital, which is located in the Jilin province.

Booze for Your Boobs Kicks Off in Singapore

Posted by saintghost 0 comments

Boobs, hooters, melons, and tatas—they all refer to those luscious pair of lumpy cushions jutting out every woman’s shirt. I say luscious because every man (or at least every straight one) craves nothing more than to lay his eyes on a big pair of boobs.
It is in fact this very dream that inspired the OverEasy nightclub in Singapore to organize an event officially titled “Fill My Cups,” but better known as “Booze for Your Boobs.”
The ingenious ploy—clearly contrived by one of their very sex-deprived managers—basically states that women with big boobs get freeze booze.

The way it works is like this:

Girls with A-Cup boobs get one free drink.

Girls with B-Cup boobs get two free drinks.

Girls with C-Cup boobs get free three drinks drinks.

And girls with big old D-Cup torpedo boobs or larger get an entire bottle of dranky drank worth $168!

To keep things fair, there will be both a male judge and a female judge.

Representing the Ladies is Karen, a lawyer who works for The Lo & Behold Group, which manages the OverEasy nightclub. On the men’s side is DJ D-CUP, whose name was, in fact, the original inspiration for the whole event.

The scheme has thus far drawn rave reviews from the men, but mixed reactions from the Ladies.

Some women, such as 19-year-old Yvonne, believe that the event is degrading: “I think the concept is funny but I would not degrade myself by being a part of it.”

Local student Lek Ning, however, sees the brilliance of such an endeavor because, as she so eloquently stated, “I’m rather proud of my assets.”

Cheryl Ho, spokeswoman for The Lo & Behold Group, defends the event, stating, “Our stance is that it’s all good fun, not sexist, not sleazy. No girls are going to get touched and we are not asking them to flash themselves.”

It works for Marty Gras and ‘Girls Gone Wild,’ so why can’t it work for a Singapore nightclub? Thumbs up or Thumbs Down? Tell us what you think.
