Los muertos vivientes de India.

Aparte de un buen titulo de pelicula de horror, en la que el Santo, puede o no ser el titular (ej. El Santo vs Los Muertos Vivientes de la India) resulta que la corrupción de este país puede llegar al punto de que pagues para que alguien sea declarado muerto legalmente y poder ejecutar su testamento. Eso deja al muerto, que no esta muerto, como un muerto viviente...

Cases of 'living dead' growing in India
Associated Press 31 Jul 2003

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 5:30 p.m. ET

LUCKNOW, India (AP) -- As far as the government is concerned, they're dead -- and they're not at all happy about it.

Calling themselves ``the Living Dead,'' two dozen people held a last rites Hindu ceremony outside the State Assembly to draw attention to their plight.

All say unscrupulous relatives fraudulently had them declared dead in order to steal their property. They've been struggling for years to get the government to rectify their official standing.

``My son produced a fake death certificate to revenue officials and grabbed my 12 acres of property. The government still refuses to recognize me as alive,'' said Rashida Bibi, 62, who was declared dead in 1993.

``I have been certified a living person by my village head but still the revenue officials refuse to recognize me as alive,'' she said.

India's bureaucrats are notorious for doing little work, and corruption is rampant. Many officials and clerks refuse to accept a claim or even talk to a petitioner without receiving a bribe.

The ``living dead,'' having been cheated out of their property, cannot afford to pay bribes or even legitimate fees to get their cases dealt with.

Lal Bihari, president of the Association of the Living Dead, estimated 35,000 people in Uttar Pradesh state have been wrongly certified as dead.

``We have knocked on doors of government officials and police. No one is ready to recognize us as living persons because revenue records declare us dead,'' he said during the protest Wednesday.

Bihari was declared dead by an uncle 18 years ago, but despite numerous public protests has been unable to get the decision reversed.

At first, she thought she had an abscess, but then it wriggled.

Skinema: Dermatology in the cinema

El resultado no tan aparente de ser Dermatologo y aficionado al cine al mismo tiempo.

Una pagina dedicada a las condiciones de la piel en las peliculas, asi como los diferente estados en los que se encuentran las caras de ciertos actores.

y aparte, el secreto del tercer pezon de Marky Mark!!



y la especulacion acerca de que demonios es el cuerno de Van Damme:



You may ask, just what is that lump doing on the forehead of action stupid-star, er, superstar Jean Claude Van Damme? Is this a residual bruise from a kick boxing match? Since this lesion is seen in many of his films, it is most likely a lipoma. Lipomas are common, deep, soft bumps or masses that can occur anywhere, but usually grow on the arms, legs, and trunk. Often they are symptom-less, but can cause sudden pain or itch. There may be cosmetic concerns. In certain locations, the non-cancerous collections of fat cells are considered deforming. Which brings us back to Van Damme. Why not remove such a large growth? It may be that the lump is not a lipoma, but is an overgrowth of bone or blood vessel tissue. And removal in any case would result in a scar. For whatever reason, we commend Mr. Van Damme's decision to not go changing. Besides, even if this is a lump of fat on his head, we doubt anyone will call him "fat-head." We would never do that, certainly.

El jurado sigue sin decision. Cuerno o grasa?

Como Bobba Fett... pero con quimica!

No todos pueden ser como el cazarecompensas espacial, pero si tienes conocimientos quimicos puedes ganar dinero cazando la respuesta correcta.


A creation of Lilly's e.Lilly Web R&D initiative, InnoCentive launched in mid-2001 to help companies brainstorm solutions to tough scientific questions. The site posts the problems and then offers a bounty to whoever comes up with the best solution.


Through InnoCentive, corporate "seekers," as they're called, farm out R&D in biology and chemistry to freelancers who, like Bradin, may be experts on esoteric topics. That means the companies' own employees can stay focused on more critical assignments. Plus, "solvers" get paid only if they hit on the right answer. Even temps or outside consultants don't come that cheap, since they get paid no matter how well they work out.

Go make some money then.

Deberian prohibir los celulares en los velorios.



Si, si el celular es del difunto. Y esta dentro del ataud.


A Belgium newspaper, Gazet van Antwerpen is reporting that the family of a recently deceased motorcyclist are suing the funeral firm they chose, after the dead mans cell phone started ringing - from inside the coffin.

The paper reports that Marc Marchal, 32, was killed when his motorbike collided with a tractor near his home town of Rochefort. Mr. Marchal was so badly injured in the accident that the undertakers advised his family that the coffin should remain closed as they said their last farewells.

The night before the funeral, the family gathered at the undertakers for a final private farewell, when they heard the sound of his cellphone ringing from within the sealed coffin. Several distressed members of the family had to leave the funeral home whilst staff rushed to remove the cell phone.

The family is now suing, claiming that the undertakers were negligent in preparing their relative for burial.

Hey, It's Me! Send Money!



TOKYO (Reuters) - Fraudsters have tricked large sums of money out of trusting Japanese this year by phoning and pretending to be relatives in trouble, police said on Thursday.
In what domestic media are calling the "Hi, it's me" swindle, victims receive calls from fraudsters who identify themselves only as "me" and say they are in desperate need of money to cover anything from an uninsured traffic accident to an unexpected pregnancy.

Victims assume the person on the telephone must be a close relative and often agree to transfer the money to a bank account specified by the swindler straight away.

There have been 3,807 reported cases so far this year, with victims paying out a total of almost 2.3 billion yen ($21.1 million), according to police statistics.

Many of the victims were women over 40, according to domestic newspapers.

Police said they were recommending that people check the identity of people asking for money on the telephone.

In a more alarming development, some telephone swindlers now extort money by pretending they have kidnapped a victim's child, with 76 such cases in October alone.

Man Dies After Winning Vodka-Drinking Contest



A vodka-drinking competition in a southern Russian town ended in tragedy with the winner dead and several runners-up in intensive care.



"The competition lasted 30, perhaps 40 minutes and the winner downed three half-liter bottles. He was taken home by taxi but died within 20 minutes," said Roman Popov, a prosecutor pursuing the case in the town of Volgodonsk.


"Five contestants ended up in intensive care. Those not in hospital turned up the next day, ostensibly for another drink."


Popov said the director of the shop organizing this month's contest had been charged with manslaughter. He had offered 10 liters of vodka to the competitor drinking the most in the shortest time.


Russians drink the equivalent of 15 liters of pure alcohol per head annually, one of the highest rates in the world. Some experts estimate one in seven Russians is an alcoholic.

Ohio 'Naked Photographer' Suspect Nabbed



COLUMBUS, Ohio - Police believe they have caught a man known as the "naked photographer," who is accused of sneaking up on women while wearing little more than a baseball cap and photographing their shocked expressions.



Officers arrested a naked man late Wednesday night in an alley behind a supermarket near where a woman reported being confronted. The man was not identified immediately.


The woman said she was getting out of her car at an apartment complex on the city's northwest side when she was approached by a naked man. She said he snapped her picture and ran away without touching her.


It was the 39th incident in which a naked man ambushed women and snapped photos. Police believe he keeps the pictures as souvenirs.

Singapore, more like Sans Sex pore?

Okie, mal titulo pero leanlo despues de pasar al resto del post...

Singapore, where prostitution is legal and oral sex is a crime, is doing some soul searching over morality, sexuality and the law.



In a country ranked last for two straight years in a global list of most sexually active nations, and where fertility rates are falling, debate over laws on sex is growing after a 27-year-old man was jailed for two years for receiving oral sex.


The man, a police coast guard sergeant, landed in court after a girl reported to police she had performed fellatio on him after the two met in an Internet chat room.


Primero: La prostitución es legal... pero el sexo oral no? No quiero saber que clase de logica aplicarian a legalizar las drogas en Singapore.

Segundo: 2 Años por recibir sexo oral? yikes.

Tercero: Internet... claro, el gran mal del siglo pasado, probablemente en los libros de historia Lewinski conseguira el trabajo de becaria de la Casa Blanca, através de la interné.


Y la ley de Singapore aclara:

That section says "whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animals can be fined and jailed up to 10 years, or even for life." That a law that effectively criminalizes homosexuality and oral sex between men and women exists and is enforced appears to have mortified much of the public.

He's so racist he could cry...



People with implicit racial prejudices are left mentally exhausted after interacting with someone from a different race, perhaps because they are trying to quell their feelings.

The new study, the first of its kind, shows that areas in the brain associated with self-control light up in white people with implicit racial biases when they are shown images of black people.

Furthermore, the study showed that the level of this brain activity correlated very closely with poor performance in a test of thinking ability given right after a face-to-face interview with a black person. The researchers believe this indicates that the subject's mental resources have been temporarily drained by their efforts to suppress their prejudices.

Penis-Multilating Tampon Puts Rapists Out Of Business - Forever


y dice:

SOUTH AFRICA - An anti-rape device which chops off the tip of a rapist's penis has been invented by a retired anaesthetist in the Free State, South Africa.

Jaap Haumann, 72, who now farms near the small town of Clocolan, has designed a "mutilator tampon" designed to lop off the end of a rapist's penis.

Dr Haumann's extraordinary invention was prompted by the fact that rape has become so endemic in South Africa that a rape now is being reported every 26 seconds to police. Dr Haumann said he designed the device after speaking to rape victims


Dos cosas: 1) Asi es como me entero de todo lo que pasa en el mundo aparentemente, ahora se que se reporta una violacion cada 26 segundos en Sudafrica. Claro tuve que llegar a esto gracias a un aparatejo anti-violacion que parece haber salido del taller del Dr. Chunga... 2) Nunca he dicho nada malo en contra de los jubilados... pero si cuestiono un poco el proceso creativo de Jaap Haumann. Pero si funciona... lo unico que puedo decir es ouchie para todos los violadores. Y lastima que sea "solo la puntita".


El resto del articulo menciona mas como funciona el asunto, y hay dos notas mas de violaciones en Sudafrica.

Surgeons appear to be gearing up to carry out the world's first face transplant.
British doctors say they have been approached by 10 patients keen to find out more about the procedure.

Surgeons in France and the United States say they are now ready to graft the face of a dead person on to someone who has been facially disfigured.

US babies get global brand names

Ya habia posteado al respecto pero, este tipo de temas siguen saliendo y saliendo:


Children have been named after big brands as diverse as beauty company L'Oreal, car firm Chevrolet and designer clothes company Armani.

There are even two little boys, one in Michigan and one in Texas, called ESPN after the sports channel.

Mr Evans, a professor at Bellevue University, Nebraska, has studied baby names in the US for 25 years

He has found that car models are a popular source of inspiration; 22 girls are registered as having the name Infiniti while 55 boys answer to Chevy and five girls to Celica.

Seven boys were found to have the name Del Monte - after the food company - and no less than 49 boys were called Canon, after the camera.

Designer firms and types of clothing were also well represented, with almost 300 girls recorded with the name Armani, six boys called Timberland and seven boys called Denim.

In some cases it seems something else was on some parents' minds - six boys were named after Courvoisier cognac.

t is a stark contrast to the most popular names in the US as found in social security records - Jacob and Emily were top for 2002.

Mr Evans told BBC News Online one reason for the popularity of brands as names is a growing desire on the part of parents to mark their children out as different.

He also says that naming a child after a brand such as Armani or Chanel, associated with money or exclusivity, reflects the material hopes of such families.

"It is no different from the 19th century when parents named their children Ruby or Opal... it reflects their aspirations" he says.


Si claro y seguro Lord Byron y Percy Shelly hubieran escrito un poema como este:

{Busta} Give me the Henny, you can give me the Cris
You can pass me the Remi, but the pass the Courvoisier
{Diddy} Give me the ass, you could give me the dough
You can give me 'dro, but pass the Courvoisier
{Busta} Give me some money, you can give me some cars
But you can give me the bitch make sure you pass the Courvoisier
{Diddy} Give me some shit, you can give me the cribs
You can give me whaever just pass the Courvoisier

cortesia de Busta Rhymes y P.Diddy

Taiwan Arrests Trainers at Gigolo School


Pregunta:Puedes padrotear a un padrote?
Respuesta: Aparentemente si, si es un padrote en entrenamiento.

Police raided a gigolo training center in northern Taiwan and arrested nine of the school's operators for over charging students, officials said Thursday.



The operators allegedly inflated tuition bills by adding in expensive clothes and mobile phones, police officer Liu Tai-shun said. They were also accused of having links to organized crime, Liu said.



Y aunque si se, la diferencia entre un padrote y un gigolo, bueno a que se dedican los gigolos retirados? A padrotear a los gigolos en entrenamiento por supuesto!

The mass-market Apply Daily reported that the school gave lectures on eloquence, posture, dancing and popular games played at gigolo bars for the potential "male public relations workers," a Taiwanese term for gigolos.


"They were also lectured on taboos at the bars, such as wearing white socks, smoking while walking or walking across the dancing floor," it said.

Lo que empezo como una leyenda urbana: En el cruce de la frontera el oficial le pide a una persona sus documentos. Y luego le pide la tarjeta de circulacion del automovil. Este abre la guantera y una mano le da los documentos. A menos que Homero de la familia Addams este al volante, eso niega la posibilidad de que "Dedos" este en la guantera. Acto seguido (orillese a la orilla) se descubre que hay una mujer en el tablero!!

no pude poner las imagenes por no estar compartidas, pero si valen la pena, asi que visiten el sitio.

Time for love Dr. Jones



When you first fall in love, you are not experiencing an emotion, but a motivation or drive, new brain scanning studies have shown.

The early stages of a romantic relationship spark activity in dopamine-rich brain regions associated with motivation and reward. The more intense the relationship is, the greater the activity.

The regions associated with emotion, such as the insular cortex and parts of the anterior cingulate cortex, are not activated until the more mature phases of a relationship, says Helen Fisher, an anthropologist from Rutgers University in New Jersey.


Lo que le da mayor sentido a las palabras de Mr. Reznor...

pero sigamos adelante. Ahora resulta que el personaje de Renee Zellweger en Down with love no estaba tan equivocada despues de todo:


Eating chocolate


Early on in a relationship, the images showed that the brain seems to be very focused on planning and pursuit of pleasurable reward, says Fisher, mediated by regions called the right caudate nucleus and right ventral tegmentum. The same regions become active when a person enjoys the pleasure of eating chocolate, she adds.



y finalmente:

There are some differences between love-struck men and women, says Fisher. Women in love show more emotional activity earlier on in a relationship. They also seem to quiz their memory regions as they look at pictures of their partner, perhaps paying more attention to their past experience with them.

For men, perhaps unsurprisingly, love looks a little more like lust, with extra activity in visual areas that mediate sexual arousal.

The team has since moved on to examining the final phase of romance. "We are now looking at people who have just been rejected," says Fisher. The research was presented at the Society for Neuroscience's meeting in New Orleans on Tuesday.

Nicotine Metabolite May Improve Memory, Protect Against Disease


Scientists continue to explore the remarkable protective effect of nicotine -- the addictive chemical in tobacco -- on the brain. One recent study has found that one of nicotine's metabolites, cotinine, may improve memory and protect brain cells from diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Another new study shows that nicotine can help improve some of the learning and memory problems associated with hypothyroidism. Such studies suggest that nicotine -- or drugs that mimic nicotine -- may one day prove beneficial in the treatment of neurological disorders.

el resto del articulo trata de retractarse de lo que empezo como "Nicotina! La nueva superdroga" y termina por darle en la torre a la teoria de que sirve para todo y causa problemas en el embarazo y puede o no causar cancer.

Slim Shady...



Hi kids! Do you like violence? (Yeah yeah yeah!)
Wanna see me stick Nine Inch Nails through each one of my eyelids? (Uh - huh!)
Wanna copy me and do exactly like I did? (Yeah yeah!)



Esto que tiene que ver... read on brave souls.


ISTANBUL,Turkey (Reuters) -- A Turkish man was stabbed to death after hawking T-shirts depicting U.S. rap superstar Eminem because a man mistook the sales pitch as an insult to his mother, Turkish newspapers said on Tuesday.

Digo, esto es algo que el mismo Marshall Matters, Mr. Eminem, Slim Shady haria no? Alguien insulta, alguien muere...

Pero como se resuelve la ecuacion que empiezan con hombre vende camisetas de Eminem, cuyo resultado es hombre muere apuñalado.

A knife fight broke out in an Istanbul suburb after 19-year-old Dilaver Akkurt told T-shirt vendor Hayrettin Demir his mother was named Emine and lived in the area, Hurriyet newspaper said.

"Eminem" means "my Emine" in Turkish.


Akkurt warned Demir to stop shouting "Eminem" and to cease sales of the clothing inscribed with the star's name and image.

Police believe Demir, who died at the scene from multiple stab wounds, was killed by a friend of Akkurt's in the brawl in Istanbul's Kucukcekmece district, Hurriyet said.

Police have detained Akkurt, who was being treated in hospital for wounds, and are still searching for Demir's killer, the newspaper said.

The Pride That Killed Sony



El articulo habla del ultimo año de Sony. Y todo lo que ha hecho para darse en la madre y perder su primer lugar mundial en venta de Electronicos.

Sony has suffered from hubris, the pride that kills. Several years ago, a Sony executive told me that because it no longer had "any real competitors" it must concentrate on its "creative dreams." No longer. On October 28, Sony held a press conference, in a hall filled with over 1,000 journalists, to announce a major restructuring to cope with plunging sales and profits. At the same time, at a smaller venue, Sony's arch-rival, Matsushita Electric Industrial (nyse: MC - news - people ), announced that profits for the fiscal half-year ending in September were up 59%, a sharp contrast with Sony's 51% plunge for the same period. "I am surprised Sony made the restructuring announcement at the same time as Matsushita announced its results; in previous years they would not have cared what we were doing," said Yukio Shohtoku, head of Matsushita's international operations.

Bueno si alguna vez requieren saber quien es dueño de que en los medios. esta es una buena liga...

Kit Cazavampiros

Who you gonna call?



En la casa de subasta Sotherby's acaban de subastar un kit de instrumentos de caza de vampiros. El precio que alcanzo?

12,000 dolares.

This Vampire Killing Kit complete with a wooden stake and 10 silver bullets sold for $12,000 as part of Sotheby's sale of 19th century furniture and decorative works of art in New York, Thursday, Oct. 30, 2003. The kit, a walnut box that also contained a crucifix, a pistol, a rosary and vessels for garlic powder and various serums, was bought by an anonymous phone bidder.

Ok. El hecho de que exista un kit para cazadores de vampiro, no es tan raro, digo en el siglo 19 todavia creian que era buena idea hacer de plomo las plomerias... pero pagar 12,000 dolares se pasa de lo romantico a lo estupido... a menos que realmente cacen vampiros...

Dark Dungeons

No se como explicar este... hmm. Okie son comics. Comics hechos por una organizacion cristiana. Comics hechos por una organizacion cristiana en contra de Dungeons and Dragons. Comics hechos por una organizacion cristiana en contra de Dungeons and Dragons en los cuales segun ellos si pasas de cierto nivel te enseñan magia de verdady te conviertes en brujo.

La pagina es de la organización cristiana. Pero el hecho es que darle tanto credito a D&D es como quitarle credito al viejo J.C If you know what I mean...
