Rants on cute puppies

cute puppy kittenAfter posting an entry about cats, I just have to blog about puppies! Do you like puppies? Well I do (I like cats too). My best and longest pet dog was named Brainy. Not because we consider him smart but because when we bought him from our family friend, his original name was Browny (because he was brown). My dad didn’t want to continue using that name so we tweak it to Brainy.

He was with us for almost 10 years. He died 3 days after I left my house to study in KL. My mom said he just wouldn’t eat. He was used to me giving him food. It was heartbreaking when I got the news :(

Anyway, my wife and I already agreed that we want to get a dog for our new house. To be our companion and also to scare off intruders.

Received this in my inbox this morning.

You might not have known this, but a lot of non-living objects are actually either male or female. Here are some examples:

FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.

PHOTOCOPIERS: These are female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm them up again. They are an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can also wreak havoc if you push the wrong buttons.

Michael J Fox Ad

michael j fox stem cell research

A few days ago, a tv ad appeared showing actor Michael J Fox speaking in support of candidates who supports stem cell research. He is suffering from Parkinson’s disease and from the tv ad you can see the involuntary movement that his body makes.

You can watch the ad at the end of this post.

Fox’s political advisor, John Rogers, explained that the actor’s involuntary, repetitive movement seen in his campaign ads stem from a condition called dyskinesia, a common side effect of the medication many Parkinson’s sufferers take to allow them greater mobility.

The reaction from the tv ad was evident, some people mocked him, some says he was acting but a poll showed the support for stem cell research jumped after the tv ad was shown.
