Hello Kitty! Thai police chiefs come up with embarrassing way to punish rouge officers.
August 6, 2007
Hello Coppy!
Bad cops, bad cops, what are we gonna do with you…..
Officers who are late, park in the wrong place or commit other minor transgressions will have to wear a large armband that is bright pink and has a Hello Kitty motif with two hearts embroidered on it.
“This is to help build discipline. We should not let small offences go unnoticed,” Police Colonel Pongpat Chayapan told Reuters news agency.
“Guilty officers will be made to wear the armbands in the office for a few days, with instructions not to disclose their offences. Let people guess what they have done,” he said.
The Hello Kitty brand is mainly marketed toward the pre-adolescent female market and the ploy by the Bangkok police department will no doubt smash any notions of masculinity in a force comprised mostly of male police officers.
Yep, doesn’t get much girlier and pink than Hello Kitty, who, according to her website, has a twin sister called Mimmy and loves eating “yummy cookies” and making new friends.

Bananas!
A 35-year-old Indian man was nabbed by local residence in Kolkata. He initially denied having swallowed the 45,000 rupee necklace, but x-rays showed it was indeed in his stomach.
Police threatened to put Sheikh Mohsin under the knife if he didn’t go along with his new banana diet.
“Mohsin was initially reluctant to eat the bananas, but we told him that doctors would cut him open to recover the chain. He immediately wolfed down the bananas at one go,” said the deputy commissioner of police.
However, the bananas did not work. So police then decided they would cook up a feast for Mohsin, feeding him rice, chicken and bread.
After a long wait, the necklace was finally retrieved.
Hilarious!
Meanwhile, in other crime and banana related news….
Authorities in California, USA, are on the hunt for a bank robber nicknamed The Banana Bandit.
The man has been hitting a number of banks since May, and robbed his tenth on Friday. He earned the name from media because he was casually eating a banana when robbing a bank May 16; he has also been seen eating potato chips in another robbery.
And now, for the crazy adventures of 80’s British cartoon superhero…Banana Man!

New sex toy set to revolutionise society?
July 31, 2007
Yeah baby, that’ll hit the spot!
Taking its name from the iPod craze that’s been sweeping the world for the past few years, the ‘gPod’ has the potential to revolutionise society in unimaginable ways.
The gPod is a phallic-shaped vibrator that consists of a handset that can connect to a music player (like your iPod), television or mobile phone and vibrates to the sounds it picks up.
How groovy.
Ichiro Kameda is the brain behind the invention which was showcased at Japans first ever sex toy expo in suburban Tokyo.
“You can use it in many ways, for example hooking it up to your mobile phone… so one of the ideas is that you can use it here in Tokyo when your boyfriend in New York is talking to you on the phone,” Kameda told media.
Kameda said he had spent four years trying to design a product when he hit upon the concept.
When asked on how he came about the idea, Kameda declined an answer.
Nearly 160 companies or groups were exhibiting products and services during the weekend Adult Treasure Expo 2007, including sex toys, sex machines, costumes and videos.
The sex toy is set to retail at ¥25,000 or about US$200 and is marketed by Japanese sex toy company Joymind.
There are some mourmours that Apple may want to legally take on Joymind in court over trademarks to the naughty device.
No word yet as to when it will be avaliable for order. But if I were to take a guess, I’de say it’s going to be the top gift for Christmas 2008.
You think I’m joking?
Think again. Female sex toys are more popular than ever, and growing at a huge rate.

I sure hope they come in peace!
For about half an hour on Saturday night a very strange sight occurred in the skies over the English town of Stratford-Upon-Avon, the birth place of William Shakespeare.
People poured onto the streets from pubs, restaurants and houses. Cars driving through the streets pulled over or slowed to a snail pace, as hundreds looked up into the starless night to witness what some observers said was the most extraordinary thing they had ever seen.
What the? The scene from southern England.
The Daily Mail reports:
Hotel Chef Kern Griffiths, 26, said: “I saw five lights, we all thought they were hot air balloons at first because the glowing spheres looked like a burst of flames. But I couldn’t see any outline of the balloon itself and they were travelling far too fast.
“Suddenly someone shouted ‘look’ and there were these bright dots fizzing across the sky.
“It was weird, they way they moved did look alien. Some people reckon they’re fireworks but they were lit up in the sky for far too long, the local rugby club say they were lanterns that blew loose over the weekend but these objects were far too fast and too high up.
“They were unlike any aircraft I’ve seen. It’s a mystery.”
The British paper quoted a UK military spokesperson who said the phenomena had nothing to do with government activity and that it was not the Ministry of Defence’s role to investigate the sightings.
“The MoD does not have any expertise or role in respect of UFOs or flying saucer matters or to the question of the existence of extra terrestrial life forms, about which we remain totally open minded.”

Meanwhile Chinese newspaper The Shainghai Daily reported that a audio tape recording of a civilian pilot witnessing a UFO in 1991 had been released.
The recording has been kept by Wu Jialu, former senior engineer with the Shanghai Aircraft Design and Research Institute. He said equipment needed to analyze the report wasn’t available until now.
The following is a transcript of the conversation.
Airport dispatcher (A): 3603, what did you see?
3603: I took off, flying about seven sea miles (13 kilometers) at the Course 28 degrees. I found an unidentified flying object right at my front. It was three meters to five meters in length. It’s red and it looks like it is spraying fire. It’s flying to the northeast. I turned slightly to the north and the object was farther and farther from my plane. It’s moving fast and suddenly it turned around.
I flew about 20 sea miles (37 kilometers). It is moving southeast. It’s flying lower and lower. I turned a little to the west. It turned around suddenly to the north again. It turned black.
It separated into two, one ball on the upper side and one cube below it. The two objects flew northeast for a while and then they turned to the northwest. They climbed up and disappeared. They came out, and disappeared again.
A: I got it.
The truth is out there people!
