Giuk got pimped

Well I’ve just replaced the interface for Giuk.net. Hopefully the regular visitors will find the site more pleasing. Now it looks like a blog. Hehe.

Next improvement? Incorporate a blog in there so I can post updates and stuff. But maybe in a week or two, now I want to pimp this blog.

But tonight got BBQ.. ahhh I just love weekends.

Check out Giuk!

I am Winner, here’s my brother, Loser.

Can you imagine giving your kids name as Winner and Loser? That’s like, as bad as Mulau or Burit (in our local ethnic language Mulau = crazy, Burit = buttocks).

Well an American couple from New York did just that 40 years ago to their 2 sons. They’re both in their 40s now.

First they named the elder son as Winner. As told in the article, this is how Mr Loser got his name.

The day he was born, their late father, Robert, asked his daughter what to name the baby. “My dad comes home and asks my oldest sister what to name me and she said, ‘Well, we’ve got a Winner, why don’t we have a Loser?’ And there you go.”

Hear a rat’s laughter

rat laughing
These scientists claim that they managed to capture the sound of rats laughing when they were tickled (the rats, not the scientists). Using a tool called “transducers” (not sure if spelling correct), these high-frequency sounds were recorded and brought down to our range which we can hear.

Makes me wonder, what do these scientists do all day? I mean, why do they want to do this? Is it so we can identify the rats laugh when they steal our food?

Anyway, hearing the laughter, it reminded me of a schoolmate who laughed just like that. Wait.. he loved cheese too! Hmmm.

Video after the jump.
