Top 10 Silly Questions About Turtles

I got an email from Pelf Nyok a few days ago. In the email, she mentioned that she has a turtle blog some where but did not include the link to it. I guess it is not ready for “public viewing” yet. Curiosity kicked in and I ended up searching for it myself. Behold, the turtle blog. :-)

Anyway, she asked if I (and others) had any questions at all about turtles, terrapins (what on earth are terrapins?) or tortoises that she can answer. Questions like “Do turtles have teeth?” or “How many species of turtles are there in Malaysia?” or “Are the leatherback turtles really extinct?”

Since I can’t think of any smart questions like that, I am bringing up 10 silly questions that people would probably not dare to ask.

  1. How long can turtles hold their breath under water?
  2. How deep can a turtle swim in the sea?
  3. If a turtle flips over and lies on its back, how will it “unflip” itself?
  4. Can turtles live in fresh water?
  5. Do turtles mate on land or in the ocean? And how do they mate? ;-)
  6. How long is a turtle’s *ahem* when it is erect? :mrgreen:
  7. What kind of sound does turtle make? (an audio file would be great)
  8. Do turtles have “inter-species” relationship? If yes, what are their newborns called?
  9. Do turtles live in groups, pairs or by individuals?
  10. Which is your favorite ninja turtle?

If any of you reading this have any other questions to ask, leave a comment below. Thank you!

Where To Buy Namewee’s Album Privately?

Namewee’s first album started selling in Malaysia on 3rd September 2007. It costs only RM13.90 for a CD. There are 10 songs in it; two of which are “karaoke versions” — only music without the lead vocals.

Check out the other proud owners of the Namewee album with photos.

In his pre-release promotion video, he did mention that whoever that bought or sold his album may be in trouble. Not sure how true that is but if you are one of those that are afraid to buy the CD in a store, you can buy it online at Eastern Records. It costs the same but you will have to pay for the delivery charges.

You can pay with credit card, bank transfer or money order. However, I strongly DO NOT recommend you pay by credit card. Their security in handling credit card payments is one of the worst that I have ever come upon.

  • No SSL certificates encryption
  • You key in your credit card number and the three digit security code and is probably sent and stored in their database or sent to their email

The Drive Of Life: Astro (Download) On Demand

The Drive of Life is Astro’s first movie on demand package that was introduced over a month ago. We were given free viewings to the first few episodes of the drama series. The following viewings will be charged at 99 cents per episode. After catching the first few episodes, it is really difficult not to subscribe to their package.

Last night was the 48th episode out of 60 in total. It was only last weekend where I found out that The Drive of Life torrents are circulating through the Internet. After doing some searching, the Mandarin version of the series has already been uploaded at least until the 58th episode. Meanwhile, I found the 49th and 50th episode for the Cantonese version.

If only I knew about this earlier, I wouldn’t have subscribed to it thus saving over RM50. There are even people who have uploaded the Cantonese version onto a video sharing website. I won’t be sharing any links here though. If you want it, go search for it yourself. It really isn’t that tough. Welcome to Astro (download) on demand! ;-)

My Celebrity Look-alikes

I found this celebrity collage software from hcfoo. It looks fun so I decided to play with it a while. Have you wondered who your celebrity look-alikes are? Try this out.

I look like Madonna

At first, I took the photo I sketched the other day to test it out. The result is quite disappointing, really. The only guy in my list of celebrity look-alikes is Kenny Chesney. The morph between my photo and Carmen Kass’ looked freakily similar. However, it was Madonna’s teeth that matches mine the most.

I look like Ethan Hawke

Not satisfied with my first result, I used a photo I took recently. This time two male celebrities, Ethan Hawke and John Cho(w) were in the list. Feeling more confident, I dug out another older photo and got the result below.

I look like Jericho Rosales

My “newest” celebrity look-alikes are Jericho Rosales, Kanye West, Nick Carter, Dr. Dre and Fernando Alonso. LOL. How I wish it was true.

How To Make A Good Cup Of Coffee

Making a good cup of coffee (or any other beverage with caffeine) isn’t easy. Try comparing the coffee you make yourself with the ones they sell at Starbucks, Coffee Bean, etc. Of course, it is unfair to compare with the pros.

Anyway, making a good cup of coffee requires a few “key ingredients” like freshly grinded quality coffee beans, the right water temperature, right equipments, etc. However, some “caffeine fanatics” take things up one notch.

The above screenshot is taken from the video playing below. Creating the “drawings” requires some talent but preparing the steamed milk and pouring it into the cup isn’t easy as well. Hmm…I wonder how much does the machine costs.

Caffeine has never looked this good before.
