Angel Lust

Ever heard of the phrase “angel lust”? Well if the first images that comes into your mind are of beautiful, sexy angels or celebrities then please, blank them now as what I’m going to tell you is completely different.

The phrase “angel lust” is actually another term for “death erection”, where the penis of a male comes to erection after the point of death. Yeah baby, I think any egoistic “player” would love to have this effect when his time comes. Imagine if the girls at a guy’s requiem service started talking like

“woah- can you see his erection? it brings back memories. He’s still hot even when he’s dead… “.

That would be any playboy’s dream.

But anyway, to have any chances of this happening to you, you have to die vertically. That means die with your body in a “standing” position and death by the noose (hanging) is the way to go. Strangulation is another method where this medical phenomenon (termed priapism) could happen.

As you would’ve guessed it, this is caused by the blood and pressure placed upon the lower parts of the body.

Poor But Talented Kid

Phew what a tiring Raya holiday - it was all about family time for me. Let me sum up my holidays in a handful of words, clinic (my son), clinic (muah), kampung, church, doulos, servay, party :D

Anyway, this week’s monday is starting on a tuesday (?) so let’s see an interesting video shall we?

talented poor kid

The following is a video of a poor kid selling fans in the streets somewhere in India. What’s remarkable about him is his ability to speak in multiple languages. I don’t think we can tag him as being fluent (since speaking fluently requires you to talk about the politics and weather too) in all of those languages but that will be enough for him to sell those fans.

Since he is a poor kid, he probably learned the language just by interacting with the tourists or visitors. Somebody should pluck him out from the streets and put him in school because he has the talent to be a polyglot (a person who can speak six or more languages fluently).

Video after the jump.

Breastfeeding Fathers

Huh? Yeah, you read that right! Do you know that males are able to produce breast milk? Well I didn’t and now I know.

Both male and female have the same body anatomy to produce milk. The only difference is that the female version is larger. However, the larger the milk glands does not mean the more milk they can produce. Hormones that increases the production of milk are stimulated by the act of sucking on the nipples.

So that means even non-pregnant ladies can breastfeed babies if enough stimulation is done. In the olden days, this was done by the midwife when the mother who has given birth lost their lives. So this would also mean, with enough stimulation and maybe positive thinking, males can also breastfeed babies.

Case in point - in 2004, a father in Sri Lanka breastfed his 18-month old daughter after his wife lost her life while giving birth to their second child. The toddler was so used to the mother’s milk.

Claymation featuring Rabbits

Claymation is the technique using clay and stop-motion filming to create movement, as seen in the movie Chicken Run. Sony’s latest ad campaign to promote its Bravia LCD TV showcases a serious and dedicated work from 40 animators, 2.5 tonne of play-doh or plasticine and 100,000 image stills compiled into a 60-second video clip. It even has a giant 30 foot rabbit!

The video was shot in Manhattan NY, with New Yorkers going on with their daily schedule. This video is a follow-up to two previous successful campaigns, Paint (featuring exploding paint balls) and Balls (featuring thousands of bouncing balls).

I think this is the best of the three. Watch the video here.

You can watch a short behind-the-scenes after the jump.

Be a real-life superhero

Have you seen the reality show “Who wants to be a superhero“? Personally it looks moronic at worse (but somehow I watch til the end last time). Anyway, you don’t have to go through all the trouble just to be a superhero.

You can be a superhero in real life - you just need a costume (of course) and a clear objective, whether it’s fighting crimes, pollution or corrupted officials. Gadgets are optional.

There are people who take this superhero seriously and you can check the list on this page on Wiki. There is also a website called “World Superhero Registry“, though the site design looks really outdated (1996 style).

Let’s take a look at one superhero.
