One of the students recalled that the landlord would spend 10 to 15 minutes in each of the three bathrooms in the house on each of his visits.

“He also gave us strange advice, like where to stand in the shower area while we are bathing and which angles to face,” the student added.

The landlord apparently explained to the students that the bathroom doors would be damaged by water, hence the reason for telling them where to stand.

If your landlord gives you advice on what angle to face when taking a shower, you might want to investigate that black oval with a red light in your bathroom

TOKYO — A Japanese research team has succeeded in filming a giant squid live _ possibly for the first time _ and says the elusive creatures may be more plentiful than previously believed, a researcher said Friday.

The research team, led by Tsunemi Kubodera, videotaped the giant squid at the surface as they captured it off the Ogasawara Islands south of Tokyo earlier this month. The squid, which measured about 24-feet long, died while it was being caught.

The squid, a female, was not fully grown and was relatively small by giant squid standards. The longest one on record is 60 feet, he said.

Flat dweller hanging condoms out to dry irks neighbours

HANGING laundry out to dry from a flat window may be acceptable, but condoms?

A Singaporean high-rise dweller is said to have resorted to recycling used condoms by “air-drying” them from the window of his flat, according to a report in China Press.

More than 100 used condoms were put out to dry, according to a disgusted neighbour.

“This is sickening. You can see from afar that some of the condoms had turned brownish,” she said, adding that the unit belonged to a middle-aged man living with his wife and two children.

“Rain water will be dripping from the condoms onto pedestrians walking on the ground below,” she pointed out.

Ewww….

Condoms ‘too big’ for Indian men

The study found that more than half of the men measured had penises that were shorter than international standards for condoms.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Islamic authorities in a Malaysian state believe they have found the secret of family love, women singing lullabies to their children and husbands.

The government of Kelantan, the only Malaysian state to be ruled by an Islamic fundamentalist party, will organize this month a lullaby contest to find the mother who can best induce sleep in her children and husband with songs, The Star newspaper said Thursday.

The contest aims to promote family togetherness according to Islam’s tenets, especially in homes with two working parents, and to improve young wives’ mothering skills, Kelantan state Women Committee chairman Abdul Fatah Mahmud was quoted as saying in The Star newspaper.

“It shows that the family comes first in the lives of everyone here,” Abdul Fatah said.

What if the judges also fall asleep listening to all the lullabies?…lol, or even the audiences…

In line with the eugenicist trend in medicine of the 1920’s and 1930’s, Voronoff intended to “rejuvenate” human organisms with a transplant of glands from chimpanzees and baboons, who were thus elevated to the rank of brotherly species with mankind. “I dare assert,” he wrote, “that the monkey is superior to man by the sturdiness of its body, the quality of its organs, and the absence of those defects, hereditary and acquired, with which the main part of mankind is afflicted.” For him, aging was the result of a slowing down of endocrinal secretions, and particularly sexual hormones. Brown-Séquard’s experiments soon proved inefficient.

But Voronoff had already transplanted chimpanzee thyroids on people suffering from thyroidal anomalies. And a transplant of a chimpanzee’s bone on a wounded soldier in 1915 suggested to him the idea of transplanting a monkey’s testicle in a man. According to him, glandular transplants would allow the production of the hormone for an extended time period, contrary to opotherapy which required repeated injections with not really convincing results. Between 1917 and 1926 Voronoff tested out his theory on animals, doing more than 500 homo-transplants on rams, goats, and even a bull. According to his observations, older animals transplanted with younger animals’ testicles regained lost vigor.

There’s also a cocktail inspired by it. Recipe included.
