U.S. Warns Of Zombie Apocalypse
| May 28, 2011
There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for. Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That’s right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e. You may laugh now, but when it happens you’ll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you’ll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency.
A Brief History of Zombies:
We’ve all seen at least one movie about flesh-eating zombies taking over (my personal favorite is Resident Evil), but where do zombies come from and why do they love eating brains so much? The word zombie comes from Haitian and New Orleans voodoo origins. Although its meaning has changed slightly over the years, it refers to a human corpse mysteriously reanimated to serve the undead. Through ancient voodoo and folk-lore traditions, shows like the Walking Dead were born.
Plastic Surgery Makes Asians Look More “Western”
| May 28, 2011
The definition of pretty, explains their plastic surgeon, is not the standard Asian face, but closer to a Caucasian face. Dr Kim Byung-gun is the head of Seoul, South Korea’s biggest plastic surgery clinic, BK DongYang. The clinic is a dozen stories tall, with all of its operating rooms full on the day of Min kyong’s surgery.
Dr Kim says his clinic, one of the most successful in a city dubbed the “plastic surgery capital of Asia,” performs 100 surgeries a day, ranging from eyelid surgery to nose reshaping to facial contouring.
“They always tell me they don’t like their faces,” says Dr Kim, explaining what his patients request prior to surgery. “They want to have some westernized, nice faces. They want to have big eyes like westernized people, high profile, nicer noses.
“The Chinese and Korean patients tell me that they want to have faces like Americans. The idea of beauty is more westernized recently. That means the Asian people want to have a little less Asian, more westernized appearance. They don’t like big cheekbones or small eyes. They want to have big, bright eyes with slender, nice facial bones.”
Woman Selling Million-Dollar ‘Moon Rock’ Arrested
| May 27, 2011
A woman who tried to sell what she said was a rare piece of moon rock for $1.7 million was detained when her would-be buyer turned out to be an undercover NASA agent, officials said Friday.
The gray rocks, which are considered national treasures and are illegal to sell, were given to each U.S. state and 136 countries by then-President Richard Nixon after U.S. moon missions and can sell for millions of dollars on the black market.
NASA investigators and Riverside County sheriff’s deputies detained the woman after she met Thursday with an undercover NASA investigator at a restaurant in Lake Elsinore, about 70 miles southeast of Los Angeles, the sheriff’s office said. The investigation was conducted over several months.
Companies Refuse to Interview the Unemployed
| May 27, 2011
There seems to be mounting evidence that companies, many of them in the tech industry, are refusing to interview unemployed people for jobs. I know you guys are going to have an opinion on this one, should jobs only be offered to people that are already employed?
When Sony Ericsson needed new workers after it relocated its U.S. headquarters to Atlanta last year, its recruiters told one particular group of applicants not to bother. “No unemployed candidates will be considered at all,” one online job listing said.
‘Mad hatters’ gang of middle-aged women blamed for Detroit crime spree
| May 27, 2011
The suspects typically steal a woman’s wallet or purse, police said in a statement. Shortly afterward, the credit cards and checks are used at stores to buy merchandise or at banks to get cash.
Surveillance photographs supplied by police show the middle-aged to elderly women wear hats, usually of the floppy, fisherman variety, at the time of the incidents.
