Indian Girl Forced To Marry A Dog In A Bizarre Ritual

Indian Girl Forced To Marry A Dog In A Bizarre Ritual

India still has a land of enduring superstition, especially in rural areas where literacy is practically non-existent. Recently a most weird news occured in Jharkhand. A young girl was forced to marry a dog in order to ward off “evil spirits.” In India’s eastern Jharkhand, locals in the Munda Dhanda village have ‘married off’ one of its children to a stray dog because they believed her family was endangered by a malevolent spirit that could be assuaged in no other way. The ceremony was performed to the beating of many drumsin the belief that it would help to overcome any curse that might fall upon the unfortunate family. Interestingly, the girl will be free to marry a man later in life without even seeking a divorce from her four-legged husband!

16 Months Jail For Breaking Rule

16 Months Jail For Breaking Rule

A woman driver has been sentenced to 16 months jail after clocking up £280,000 in parking fines.

Magistrates in Graz, Austria, heard that Maria Schaeffer, 38, ignored 700 tickets for overstaying in short term parking bays.

Each £30 ticket snowballed to a £400 fine with extra penalties for non payment and costs.

Judges suspended the jail term on condition she pays the bulk of the fines.

A police spokesman said: "She should have realised that fines don't just disappear over time."

Dr. Saw Huat Seong, Senior Consultant Cardio thoracic surgeon at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore, believes that lifestyle is a major factor in determining whether someone contracts heart disease. “I am a big proponent of lifestyle modifications. There are various risk factors to consider when talking about heart disease. Most people suffer from lack of exercise. Rich people are driven to their offices, they are driven everywhere, and there is no tradition of exercise.

“One thing most people are averse to is morning exercise routines. I don't know why, but most of you do not want to get up early in the morning and exert yourselves. One thing that is advantageous about morning exercise is that the ground is cool early in the morning. In the evening, all of the heat that the earth has accumulated from the sun is radiated to the atmosphere, and this has the effect of wear out those who exercise during that time. Another advantage is, in the early morning, we have some time to ourselves, while later we become busy, which in turn gives us excuses to evade exercise,” he said.

Diet is also very important, according to Dr. Seong. “Most people in south Asia take three big meals a day, which is unhealthy. There is a theory, and I think it is a good theory, that says that people should eat in smaller quantities throughout the day. This is particularly effective in combating diabetes.”

Dr. Timothy Lee, a Consultant Neurosurgeon at Gleneagles Hospital in Singapore will deliver his lecture on neck and lower back pains. “Neck and lower back pains are largely degenerative phenomena that get worse with age. 95 percent of patients do not need surgery, and for them the main objective should be to manage the pain by taking certain preventive measures.

“A common misconception is that the pain will be helped if you turn your head from side to side and make the cracking sound that is made when we crack our knuckles. While this may provide short term relief, it is harmful in the long run. These pains happen because of bones grinding against each other, therefore turning your head from side to side will eventually be harmful,” Lee said.

“Hyper extending the neck, like we do when looking upwards is harmful as it places stress on the neck. A possible way to lessen the effect of degeneration is to do exercises that build up muscles in the neck to provide support,” he added and went on to demonstrate the exercise which involves placing a hand on each of the four sides of the head (front, back, left, right) and pushing against it, without changing head position.

“Also, the position in which we sleep is important as we spend about six to eight hours a day in that position. The best sleeping position in this regard is to sleep on your back as that is the natural position. A crucial thing to remember is that there has to be cushioning under the neck, so as to avoid stress. Often, people sleep with just their heads on the pillow without support for the neck. The same applies to the lower back. Some think that it will help back pain if they sleep on a hard surface. That is wrong because our backs are naturally curved, and to avoid stress we must sleep on a mattress that supports our backs,” he said.

Some forms of exercise are harmful to the lower back. “Sit-ups, and any form of exercise that involves bending forward places stress on the lower back and aggravates back pain. Bending backwards builds muscles which support the region, and that is helpful in the long run.”

The importances of our lifestyles come through in both the doctors' words. Health is an often undervalued part of our lives, but it is up to us to ensure through proper lifestyle choices that we do not suffer too much in our old age.

Pollen - Robbot

Pollen - Robbot

Employee for Japanese weather forecasting company Weathernews, Mayuka Nakatani, displays some of the 500 pod-shaped pollen counting robots called "Pollen-robot", which are ready to be used as nationwide monitors to observe pollen levels ahead of the coming hay fever season, at the company's headquarters in Tokyo.



The Pollen-robot, which has two LED eyes and glows a range of five different colors to indicate pollen levels, will be placed outside houses and can send reports recording pollen, temperatures, humidity and air pressure to the company through the Internet.


Any allergy sufferer can tell you that pollen is the bane of their existence during the spring months. In Japan, they're taking a proactive approach to monitoring pollen and letting people know just where and when it's safe to leave their homes. With robots!

These adorrable Pollen Robots will be hung outside the homes of 200 hay fever sufferers who have volunteered to participate. The robots will detect pollen levels and warn people about the levels by flashing its eyes different colors. It'll also send the data back to Weathernews HQ in Tokyo for study.

Want to Become Slim - Eat Onion and Garlic

Want to Become Slim - Eat Onion and Garlic

A Croatian man has lost eleven-and-a-half stone in just six months - on a diet of garlic and onions.

When Momir Zmiric hit 26st doctors told him he could die if he didn't lose weight.

He tried several diets without success but then started living off garlic and onions - on a plain biscuit - with carrot juice.

Now down to 14st 7lbs, Momir, 42, of Split, said: "The weight dropped off."

Doctors have warned against the radical diet and a pal of Momir's said: "He looks great - but his breath is really rancid."

Dolls Were Forced To Rename

Dolls Were Forced To Rename

A US toy company is renaming its Malia and Sasha dolls after a complaint by First Lady Michelle Obama.

The dolls, originally called Marvelous Malia and Sweet Sasha, will be named 'Marvelous Mariah' and 'Sweet Sydney'.

Dollmaker Ty Inc says it changed the names after Mrs Obama said that using her daughters' names was inappropriate.

It had said the dolls were not modelled on the Obama girls, but the names suited dolls they were already making."We appreciate the company's response to this matter," said Mrs Obama's press secretary, Katie McCormick Lelyveld.

Barack and Michelle Obama have two daughters: Malia Ann was born in 1998 and Sasha was born in 2001. Sasha is the youngest child to reside in the White House since. Malia and Sasha attend the private Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC, the same school as attended by Chelsea Clinton, Tricia Nixon Cox, and Archibald Roosevelt.

The dolls were part of the Ty Girlz Collection, and went on sale in January, joining others in the same range called Bubbly Britney, Lucky Lindsay and Precious Paris.

Incredible Baby - 24 Fingers and Toes

Incredible Baby - 24 Fingers and Toes

A boy was born with 24 fingers and toes in California hospital.The six digits on each of Kamani Hubbard's hands and feet are perfectly formed and fully functioning.

The baby looked so normal that maternity staff at St Luke's Hospital in San Francisco didn't even notice the discrepancy after he was born three weeks ago.

Miryoki Gross, the baby's mother, said that, after she gave birth, doctors and nurses simply told her the baby weighed six pounds and was in good health.

The extra digits - including five fingers and a thumb on each hand - were eventually spotted by the baby's father, Kris Hubbard, a postal worker.

He said his family had a history of polydactylism and he himself had the non-functioning nubs of sixth fingers removed as a child.

"I was in amazement. It took a little time for me to take it all in," he said. "My son has six fingers, then I saw toes and I thought 'This is quite unique'. Some family members have had six fingers, not completely developed. But not the toes."

The parents have made no decision on whether to remove Kamani's extra digits but doctors say there is no need and, rather, they may be useful to keep .

"It's merely an interesting and beautiful variation rather than a worrisome thing. I would be tempted to leave those fingers in place," said Dr Michael Treece, a paediatrician at St Luke's.

"I realise children would tease each other over the slightest things, and having extra digits on each hand is more than slight. But imagine what sort of pianist a 12-fingered person would be. Imagine what sort of a flamenco guitarist. If nothing else, think of their typing skills."

Environment Friendly Coffin

Environment Friendly Coffin

An Australian company has launched a personalised range of environmentally friendly coffins to make the final goodbye a little more individual.

Directors of the company said,"People are becoming increasingly aware of the impact they have on the environment and the availability of a Fair Trade funeral enables people to uphold their values through from life into death."

LifeArt offers customised designs such as an image of a surfer catching a wave, a picturesque scene or the colours of a favourite sports team.

Customers can design their own coffin or choose from a range of designs, such as a woodland glade, an open road, Sydney Harbour Bridge or a cowboy riding off into the sunset.

LifeArt coffins are manufactured from enviroboard, a form of cardboard, which meets the standards required by the funeral industry for either cremation or burial.

The company says it means their clients can "pass away safe in the knowledge that your container (and its treasured contents) can biodegrade quickly and harmlessly with less carbon emissions and without cost to timber forests".

Jokes of The Day

Jokes of The Day

While the pope was visiting the USA, he told the driver of his limo that he has the sudden urge to drive. The driver was a good Catholic man, and would not ever dream of questioning the pope's authority. So the pope sat at the wheel, while his driver got in the back.

They were traveling down the road doing between 70 and 80 mph, when a policeman happened to see them. As he pulled them over, he called in to headquarters reporting a speeding limo, with a VIP inside it.

The chief asked: "Who is in the limo, the mayor?"

The policeman told him: "No, someone more important than the mayor."

Then the chief asked "Is it the governor?"

The policeman answered: "No, someone more important than the governor."

The chief finally asked: "Is it the President?"

The policeman answered: "No, someone even more important than the President."

This made the chief very angry and he bellowed: "Now who is more important than the President?!"

The policeman calmly wispered: "I'll put it to you this way chief. I don't know who is this guy, but he has the pope as his chauffeur."

A police officer pulls over this guy who had been weaving in and out of the lanes. He goes up to the guy's window and says "Sir, I need you to blow into this breathalyzer tube."

The man says, "Sorry officer I can't do that. I am an asthmatic. If I do that I'll have a really bad asthma attack."

"Okay, fine. I need you to come down to the station to give a blood sample."

"I can't do that either. I am a hemophiliac. If I do that, I'll bleed to death."

"Well, then we need a urine sample."

"I'm sorry officer I can't do that either. I am also a diabetic. If I do that I'll get really low blood sugar."

"Alright then I need you to come out here and walk this white line."

"I can't do that, officer."

"Why not?"

"Because I'm too drunk to do that."

Blasting Thunder

Blasting Thunder

How many people do you know, that literally jump out of their skins at the "clap" of thunder? Is it the sudden noise, or the volume of sound? Or the idea of the storm that follows?

Thunder is one of nature's loudest and most nerve-shattering noises. It occurs following lightning, which may or may not be seen as a flash of light, or a bolt. The air around the lightning is superheated to approximately five times that of the Sun, causing it to expand faster than the speed of sound, then compressing the air to make the boom that you hear.

At times, you see lightning without thunder. Or see something often referred to as "heat lightning". Both of these phenomenon are due to your distance from the actual weather disturbance. And considering that at any given moment, there are about 2,000 storms taking place around the world, chances are pretty good of observing or hearing one, without the other.

The cause of thunder has been the subject of centuries of speculation and scientific inquiry. The first recorded theory is attributed to the Greek philosopher Aristotle in the third century BC, and an early speculation was that it was caused by the collision of clouds. Subsequently, numerous other theories have been proposed. By the mid-19th century, the accepted theory was that lightning produced a vacuum. In the 20th century a consensus evolved that thunder must begin with a shock wave in the air due to the sudden thermal expansion of the plasma in the lightning channel. In a fraction of a second the air is heated to a temperature approaching 28,000 °C (50,000 °F). This heating causes it to expand outward, plowing into the surrounding cooler air at a speed faster than sound would travel in that cooler air. The outward-moving pulse that results is a shock wave, similar in principle to the shock wave formed by an explosion, or at the front of a supersonic aircraft.

More recently, this consensus has been eroded by the observation that measured overpressures in simulated lightning are greater than what could be achieved by the amount of heating found. Alternative proposals rely on electrodynamic effects of the massive current acting on the plasma in the bolt of lightning.

In a strange quirk of Nature, the town Tororo,Uganda suffered an average 251 days of thunder a year, from 1967-1976, the highest incidence ever recorded.
