Father beaten to death by son

October 8, 2005

Such a sad news.

An Adopted son repeatedly assaulted and finally killed the father who took him on and never gave up on him, a court heard. Bristol Crown Court was told that Lee Barnes, who suffered from learning difficulties exacerbated by 25 years of glue-sniffing and alcohol abuse, beat 68-year-old Gilbert Barnes to death after attacking him on numerous previous occasions.

The sad thing is, the father never gave up on his son. He even helped him, stood by him. But in the end, his adopted son took his life from him.

The power of about fatherly love…..sigh.

Tries to sell all his possessions in EBay but fails…

And guess how much he could fetch if the deal goes through? More than GBP 22 000! (GBP means Great Britain Pounds…if you’re curious :P )

The bid started at GBP 1, and within 10 days, it shot up to that amount. Impressive? Guess not, the winning bidder pulled out the very last minute; 30 seconds before the bid closed.

Bush Or Chimp?

August 15, 2005

No, I’m not asking you which one would you prefer. Just take a look at these photos:

These pictures are taken from a website called “Bush or Chimp?”. It’s really funny. Maybe it’s a bit old news by now, but I still laugh at the similarities between President Bush and chimpanzee. :D

Have fun laughing. ^_^

Things I Find

August 14, 2005

I recently came across this special blog; the writer writes about the things he found. It’s pretty cool, but most of the things he found were grocery lists.

I like this particular entry from one of his posts:

I found this at K-Mart in Hendersonville, Tennessee about 2 years ago. It is my favorite shopping list, ever! Here’s the list:

Doctor couldn’t find a job

August 9, 2005
A JUNIOR doctor who has been left nearly £50,000 in debt after putting herself through 10 years of study and training says she cannot now get a job - despite applying for 50.

Melissa Marlow, aged 30, of Ham Green, has applied for three jobs in Bristol and a total of 50 jobs across the country, but has so far been unsuccessful.

She is just one of thousands of Senior House Officers (SHOs) across the country who have found themselves in the position of incurring huge debt by funding themselves through medical school, only to find themselves unemployed at the middle stage of their training.

This is surprising. A doctor but couldn’t find a job? I always thought those who studied medicine will never be unemployed, judging from the low ratio of doctors to population. But this news is real. I don’t quite understand the reason. Is it because there are too many junior doctors already? Can someone read the article and explain to me? *confused*

World’s Ugliest Dog

August 8, 2005
For the third year in a row, he’s taken home the trophy for ugliest dog at the Sonoma-Marin Fair — one of the premiere lineups of less-than-lovely dogs in the country.

Wah, seriously this dog can give me nightmares. His name is Sam, a purebreed Chinese Crested Hairless. He’s almost 15 years old now. He even has his own blog, how does that sound? Of course it’s written by his owner, Susie. :)

Suicide Sheep

July 22, 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.
