If you’re wondering why sexual perversions are happening left and right, front and back and every which way in the world today, why we have such a hideous sexual predator as Austria’s Josef Fritzl, one of the clues is staring at you right now. Well, it’s not Miley Cyrus’ fault. Definitely not. This 15-year Disney megastar has simply been used and abused by people around her. Why didn’t her parents object? Who is his right senses would ask a 15-year-old girl with a wholesome public image, who is the darling of kids as young as five or six years ...


Austria … Julie Andrews, “The Sound of Music.” That was before. Now, what comes to mind more easily when one thinks of Austria is Josef Fritzl, the Grandfather of Incest. This devil of a man raped his own daughter for 24 years beginning when she was just 11 years old, kept her prisoner in a windowless cellar for the same duration of years, and sired her six surviving children, according to Austrian authorities. Fritzl confessed to imprisoning his daughter Elisabeth in the cellar beneath their two-storey house in Amstetten, Austria, and DNA tests showed that indeed the 73-year-old devil had ...


Want to go on a shopping splurge without paying even a single cent? You can try this: Print a copy of the Yahoo news page linked in this blog. Now, go to the mall, shop till you drop, and then go to the cashier. Tell the cashier, “You take my breath away with your beauty.” As the stunned cashier asks for your money or your credit card, show her instead the copy of the news page you printed. This is because the news in that page says that “paying people a compliment is as good as paying ...


A Filipina has just conquered Britain with just the power of her voice. So powerful and beautiful and enchanting was her voice – that fully complements her personality -- that she got the nod of even the most discerning and hard-to-please music judge in the entire planet, Simon Cowell. The Filipina is Madonna. No, she’s not the Material Girl, far from the image of the former American enchantress. She’s Madonna “Mado” Decena, a 32-year-old mother from the Philippines who’s one of the favorites to bring home the crown in the top-rating British popular talent search show “Britain’s Got Talent.” Last April ...


She’s a Fox but not really foxy because there is no deception in her sex appeal. US actress Megan Fox of “Transformers” fame has just been named the world's sexiest woman by an annual online poll. The 21-year-old beauty grabbed the title from actress Jessica Alba, 26, in the men's magazine FHM Online's (www.FHMonline.com) reader poll of the 100 Sexiest Women in the World for 2008. Alba dropped two notches to No. 3, also overtaken by American actress and former model Jessica Biel. Canadian actress Elisha Cuthbert ranked fourth while US actress and singer Scarlett Johansson, 23, was at fifth spot. "Megan ...


The headline above has proven to be true in the case of biofuels which only recently were hailed as the solution to global warming and the key to the planet’s survival. Now, the mad rush to produce biofuels is being blamed for the worldwide food crisis. Various nations have already spent billions of dollars in their bid to develop sugar- and grain-based ethanol and biodiesel to replace carbon-belching fossil fuels, the overwhelming source of man-made global warming. But in their effort to mass-produce such biofuels, the nations of the world have taken away food crops ...


The pee secrets revealed

Next time you go to the toilet to pee, consider that you’re leaving behind a specimen that would show how you would live and die. That’s how valuable urine is. No wonder, some people trapped for weeks in collapsed buildings managed to survive by drinking their own fluids, no matter how yucky that might taste. But that’s another story. In a recent study made in London, researchers found out that the urine samples they collected from 4,000 volunteers from across the world show that people from different nations often have spectacularly different metabolisms. The findings are explained in ...


You probably thought that babies are the happiest people on Earth because they’re innocent and have no sense yet of the many problems inherent in life. I thought so, too. Ah, those innocent angelic faces of babies. They must be the happiest people alive. It turns that this isn’t so. According to the latest research on the subject, the oldest people in society are the happiest of them all. Surprised? You thought that with all their wrinkles, arthritis and all other body pains they’re suffering from, the oldies will sulk their way to their own grave? "The good news is that with ...


It turns out that many of the world’s scientists, particularly those in the United States, are flying high on drugs. According to a recent survey in Nature, Britain’s top science journal, 20 percent of scientists have admitted to using performance-enhancing prescription drugs for non-medical reasons. A huge majority of these pill-popping Einsteins said they take drugs to "improve concentration," and that they did so on a daily or weekly basis. Now I may start to doubt scientists who could see things we ordinary mortals could not even imagine. For all we know, with all the drugs they’re taking, they could just ...


Sleeping Beauty must have been a shapeless, ordinary-looking fat woman before she took off for her legendary trip to Dreamlandia. But when she woke up after almost an eternity of sleep, ah … most of her fats were gone and her beauty awoken as well! This new version of Sleeping Beauty would in all likelihood get the support of a group of researchers in France who found out recently that extra hours of sleep at night could be the key to shedding excess weight and fighting obesity. "More sleep could be the ideal way of stabilizing weight or slimming," said neuro-scientist ...
