passenger. "Sally the Rhino hadn't been feeling well. She was constipated, and had just been given a laxative when the American played his juvenile prank, " said caretaker James Douglass. A Vermont native found himself in a difficult position yesterday while touring the Eagle's Rock African Safari Zoo with a group of thespians from St. Petersburg, Russia. Ronald went to extremes to demonstrate the power of Crazy Glue, one of America's many marvels, to the Russians. To prove the effectiveness of Crazy Glue, he rubbed several ounces of the adhesive onto the palms of his hands and jokingly placed them on the buttocks of a passing rhino. The rhinoceros, a resident of the zoo for the thirteen years, was not initially startled, as it has been part of the petting exhibit since its arrival as a baby. However, once it became aware of being involuntarily stuck to Ronald, it began to panic and charge wildly about the petting area with Ronald as an unwitting
During Sally's tirade, a shed wall was gored, two fences destroyed, and a number of small animals escaped. Three pygmy goats and one duck were stomped to death. During the stampede and subsequent capture, Sally began to feel the effects of the laxative, showering Ronald repeatedly with over 30 gallons of rhinoceros diarrhea. A team of medics and zoo caretakers were needed to remove his hands from Sally's buttocks. "It was tricky. We had to calm her down while shielding our faces from the pelting rhino dung. I guess you could say that Ronald was in it up to his neck. Once she was under control, three people with shovels were working to keep an air passage open for him. We were eventually able to tranquilize Sally and apply a solvent to remove his hands from her rear," said Douglass. "I don't think he'll be playing with Crazy Glue for awhile." Meanwhile, the amused Russians were impressed with the power of the adhesive. "I'm going to buy some for my children, but of course they can't take it to the zoo," commented Vladimir Zolnikov, leader of the troupe. Ronald did not die, nor was there any reproductive injury, so he can only qualify for a Darwin Award if you are persuaded by the fact that nobody would date a man who smelled of rhino dung.

Nothing quite like a great British takeaway I often find myself thinking about good old English tucker from time to time, it's only natural for me being originally from England, but very few have cut it for me when trying to find that traditional taste, particularly for the good old battered fish and chips. That was however about to change when I came across a delightful family run business in El Rodeo, Coin. A traditional taste with a traditional menu and a good old hearty name, The Country Kitchen. Just the name alone appealed to me and drew my curiosity to take a look. Their menu, as it should be, ideal for what I was looking for. Nothing quite like a proper bit of Great British from time to time, fish and chips with the traditional EastEnders batter, a personal favourite, there was a full range
of American-style burgers, roast chicken, nuggets, hot dogs and even a fully done Sunday roast. Home made cooking from the heart and my gosh is it good. But it doesn't stop there, they provide a full children's menu, lunchtime varieties of different sandwiches, baguettes and even omelettes, there's even Spanish options if your tastes are much more diverse and vegetarian options too. It's not just a simple takeaway though, they are fully accommodated for you to just sit in with the family and enjoy your meal. It was a pleasant experience to finally find a place that I can call a 'true' British takeaway, but don't take my word for it, go along yourself and try out their menu, with so much to choose from you cannot deny that they are indeed not just a takeaway.

A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet. "My dog is cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?" "Well," said the vet, "let's have a look at him." So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then he checks his teeth. Finally, he says, "I'm going to have to put him down." "What? Because he's cross-eyed?" "No, because he's really heavy" Guy goes into the doctor's. "Doc, I've got a cricket ball stuck up my backside." "How's that?" "Don't you start." Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese.

Pillar of Strength 2008 South Africa) For several days Johannesburg office workers watched a demolition worker slowly chip away at a pillar supporting the concrete slab above him. One observer said, "I wondered how they would drop that section." The walls were gone, and only the supporting pillars remained. Dozens of observers watched the slow and senseless demolition proceed. Finally the only possible outcome concluded this epic battle. The besieged support collapsed, crushing man and machine beneath a pile of rubble. Ishmael Makone, 52, was killed instantly inside the cab of his mini-excavator. "I cannot believe they did not foresee this," said a shocked witness who did not forsee this. Observers said they had been concerned about the workers' safety for several days. "There was no common sense." Breasts injure four .(June 1999) Four people were admitted to a hospital after a string of bizarre accidents earlier this month. Sherry was admitted with a head wound. Tim was diagnosed with whiplash and chest contusions. Bryan suffered from torn gum tissue, and several of Pamela's fingers were bitten off. These are the facts: When Sherry dropped her husband off for his first day of work, she kissed him goodbye and flashed her breasts at him. "I'm still not sure why I did it," she said. "I didn't think anyone would see, and besides, it couldn't have been for more than two seconds." Unbeknownst to her, the cab driver did see her breasts, and he lost control of his taxi. It careened over a curb and into the corner of the Johnson Medical Building, where Pamela, a dental technician, was cleaning Bryan's gums. When the car came through the wall, Bryan bit down in shock, severing two fingers from Pamela's righthand. Breast-flasher Sherry was injured by masonry falling from the Johnson Medical Building

Well, Google search marketing Its one of the most powerful marketing tools a person can use for their online marketing of their business and website.

Some of them are: keywords search, database optimization, content arranging, website advanced structure, understandable and easy-to-navigate system
What are the risks? Google search marketing is an effective way, but too aggressive or unfair and manipulative search marketing could lead to the company's web site being removed from the Google index.

This months routine is from Lee Evans "I love restaurants, and that's the thing they always boast about new restaurants, home made cooking. I don't want home made cooking, that's why I'm here, 'cos I don't like the sh*t at home!" "You ever get lost with your wife in the car, you're completely lost, and they always say the same thing! "Oh let's just go home." "WE'RE F**KING LOST! WHAT DID YOU DO, THROW BREAD OUT THE F**KING WINDOW?" "Peanuts! What happened to peanuts! Now every buggers allergic to peanuts! It's true, you open a packet of peanuts now, and every bunch of five year olds in a five mile radius slam to the floor, jabbing themselves with adrenaline!" "Bird flu! What's that? How do you know a bird's got flu! Some Chinese bloke spots one of his chickens with its claws in a bowl of hot water and a towel over its head! Bwrr-rr-rrr-rrr-rrr-rrr-rr!"

by Ann French of WeDoBling.com Hotpants: There are those of us that remember them being the fashion statement of the 70’s - the phrase “Hotpants” comes from the 1920´s meaning “strong sexual desire” or “a sexually eager woman”!! In the 1970’s as shorts got shorter, they were called “hotpants” by Womens Wear Daily. It’s cold outside and hard to imagine shedding clothes for summer. Ladies, start shaping up, because hemlines for this year’s shorts are short short, as hotpants, boy-shorts, tap-pants and even bodysuits are the new outerwear! There are two styles of hotpants for 2010 – the mid-cut, which start at the belly button or just below and the high waist. If hotpants don’t take your fancy, consider boyshorts as an alternative. These are akin to hotpants, but differentiated by having a hemline that doesn’t curve up the body. Not feeling up to the bum-hugging look of hotpants or boy-shorts? Then consider looser boyshorts/tap-pants. Loose boy-shorts in 2010 will be flowing with lace or semi-sheet material. Not to be left out, the bodysuit is moving on from being the blank canvas paired with statement accessories to being the statement pieces themselves. To recap......... Hotpants have a negative hemline, are cut up the outer thigh, reveal some part of the derriere and can be mid or high waist. Boy-Shorts and Short-Shorts have a neutral hemline, sit under the cheeks and are generally low waist. Tap-Pants have a hem usually no more than 2 inches long, a hemline with straight or ruffled finish, not figure hugging and are heavily influenced by lingerie. Body-Suits have a negative hemline, revealing a large part of the derriere and this year will feature more patterns and bolder cuts.

Range and habitat In the past, the tiger's range was widespread in Asia, from the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea to Siberia and Indonesia. During the 19th century, these cats completely vanished from western Asia, and became restricted to isolated pockets in the remaining parts of their range. Today, their range is fragmented, and extends from India in the west to China and Southeast Asia in the east. The northern limit is close to the Amur River in south eastern Siberia. The only large island inhabited by tigers today is Sumatra. Tigers vanished from Java and Bali during the 20th century, and in Borneo are known only from fossil remains. Tiger habitats will usually include sufficient cover, proximity to water, and an abundance of prey sources. Bengal Tigers live in many types of forests, including wet; evergreen; the semi-evergreen of Assam and eastern Bengal; the mangrove forest of the Ganges Delta; the deciduous forest of Nepal, and the thorn forests of the Western Ghats. Compared to the lion, the tiger prefers denser vegetation, for which its camouflage colouring is ideally suited, and where a single predator is not
at a disadvantage compared with the multiple felines in a pride. Among the big cats, only the tiger and jaguar are strong swimmers; tigers are often found bathing in ponds, lakes, and rivers. Unlike other cats, which tend to avoid water, tigers actively seek it out. During the extreme heat of the day, they often cool off in pools. Tigers are excellent swimmers and can swim up to 4 miles. This cat will also carry their dead prey across lakes. The oldest remains of a tiger-like cat, called Panthera palaeosinensis, have been found in China and Java. This species lived about 2 million years ago, at the beginning of the Pleistocene, and was smaller than a modern tiger. The earliest fossils of true tigers are known from Java, and are between 1.6 and 1.8 million years old. Distinct fossils from the early and middle Pleistocene were also discovered in deposits from China, and Sumatra. A subspecies called the Trinil tiger lived about 1.2 million years ago and is known fossils found at Trinil in Java. Tigers first reached India and northern Asia in the late Pleistocene, reaching eastern Beringia (but not the American Continent), Japan, and Sakhalin. Fossils found in Japan indicate that the local tigers were, like the surviving island subspecies, smaller than the mainland forms. This may be due to the phenomenon in which body size is related to environmental space, or perhaps the availability of prey. Tigers also lived in Borneo, as well as on the island of Palawan in the Philippines. Siberian tiger (Physical characteristics) Tigers are among the most recognisable of all the cats. They typically have rusty-reddish to brownrusty coats, a whitish medial and ventral area, a white "fringe" that surrounds the face, and stripes that vary from brown or grey to pure black. The form and density of stripes differs between subspecies ; for instance, Siberian tigers are usually paler than other tiger subspecies), but most tigers have over 100 stripes. The pattern of stripes is unique to each animal, and thus could potentially be used to identify individuals, much in the same way that fingerprints are used to identify people. This is not, however, a preferred method of identification, due to the difficulty of recording the stripe pattern of a wild tiger. It seems likely that the function of stripes is camouflage, serving to help tigers conceal themselves amongst the dappled shadows and long grass of their environment as they stalk their prey. The stripe pattern is found on a tiger's skin and if shaved, its distinctive camouflage pattern would be preserved. Like other big cats, tigers have a white spot on the backs of their ears. These spots, called ocelli, serve a social function, by communicating the animal's mental state to conspecifics in the gloom of dense forest or in tall grass.
St. Patrick's Day is now a secular celebration in which 'all the world becomes Irish'. Such statements, of course, annoy the real Irish no end. Everyone wants to have the Luck of the Irish, they say, and no whit of our Troubles. The most famous legend regarding St. Patrick is that he rid Ireland of snakes by ringing his bell from the top of Croagh Patrick, the 2500 feet tall, conical mountain near Westport. Of course this isn't a true fact, but makes for an amusing anecdote. The mountain however has become a place of annual pilgrimage. There is an ancient church at the top and at the base a natural spring well known as Patrick's well or Tobair Padraig - St. Patrick supposedly baptized the first Irish converts at this well. St. Patrick is also supposed to have rid Ireland specifically County Donegal - of a fierce lake monster. After he had killed it, the blood turned the lake red and so since then the lake has been known as Red Lake or Lough Derg. It is now a pilgrimage place and many people go there between 1 June and 15 August in the fond hope that the journey will rid them of all their sins. It is wholly due to St. Patrick’s French sojourn that Hawthorn bushes bloom in the winter in the Loire Valley. He crossed the Loire River, hung his cape to dry on a Hawthorn bush, and that is how this miracle came about. St. Patrick did not always have a saintly temper. Sometimes he lost it and let the curses fly. Some of his curses, with the help of geographical occurrences, worked - like the one that made a certain field sink under the sea and thereby useless for cultivation. St. Patrick's oxen had been refused permission to graze there and that had riled him a bit. St. Patrick had a strong sense of justice. Once he cured a blind man, but a certain individual who had laughed at the blind fellow promptly went blind St. Patrick built the first church in Ireland at Maginis. On St. Patrick's Day, you can bring yourself good luck by finding a four-leaf clover, wearing green, and kissing the Blarney Stone.
According to legend, wearying of St. Bridget's constant complaints about the traditional social mores requiring women to wait for marriage proposals to come their way or forget about the matter entirely, St. Patrick instituted the practice of allowing women to propose to men on a Leap Year. The reason he didn't make it an every day occurrence can perhaps be gleaned from the fact that on the very next Leap Year he found himself on the receiving end of a proposal from St. Bridget herself. He couldn't withstand the constant complaints, he would have been ploughed down by the constant proposals. St. Patrick brought public attention to the humble Shamrock, after using a three-leafed specimen to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - to the pagan King Laoghaire of Tara. St. Patrick incorporated pagan elements into Christianity to make the religion more palatable to the new converts. St. Patrick's favorite color was blue, not green, and the people of Ireland too weren't exactly fond of green - according to them it was the color of the Fairies and Leprechauns and, unless you wanted to forcibly join the ranks of these Wee Folks, you would refrain from sporting that color too often. It wasn't until the 19th Century that Green became the official color of Ireland. St. Patrick ordered that after death he be buried wherever the oxen pulling his funeral cart stopped. They reportedly didn't go further than Downpatrick, so he's buried somewhere there. People didn't actually start praying to St. Patrick until the eighth century A.D. The Vatican followed suit much later. The first hymn to be composed in Ireland was composed in St. Patrick's honor. It was called; appropriately enough, Hymn in Patrick's Praise, was composed by St. Sechnall, and ran to 23 stanzas. It is not known when exactly St. Patrick's Day began to be celebrated outside Ireland, but the first written description come from Jonathan Swift, the author of Gulliver's Travels, who mentions the celebrations of 1713 in London. According to him, the Westminster Parliament took a holiday on this day and all the public buildings had green decorations
On Friday 12th February at 1pm, over 150 helium balloons were sent up to the skies at Costa Kinder Care to raise money for BUSF (Bomberos Unidos Sin Fronteros) - a large non-governmental organisation linked to the Spanish fire brigade, who have already sent help teams out to Haiti and are now trying to raise funds to help rebuild nurseries and children’s centres in Haiti.
Also, in collaboration with Benalmádena Town Hall, for BSF (Bomberos Sin Fronteras) who urgently want to rebuild a children’s centre on the outskirts of Puerto Príncipe: the centre was destroyed in the earthquake but fortunately most of the children survived, however they are now living on the streets.The Lord Mayor of Benalmádena, Mr. Enrique Moya, joined in the fun and sent up helium balloons too on the day and his presence at Costa Kinder Care helped to make the event an even greater success. Town Councillors Inmaculada Hernández (Health & Safety) and representation for Remedios Herrero (Education) were also present.
Costa Kinder Care Have raised the fantastic sum of 947 €, but this should increase as they are still receiving donations. None of this would have been possible without the support of all the parents in the nursery school, and particularly The Irish Card and Party Store near church square in Fuengirola who very generously donated all the balloons and filled them all with helium. The event was also generously supported by Cyclo Consulting & Legal Firm, Brian Tinnian at Costa Football Academy who did a penalty shoot-out, Costa Shukokai Karate Club, Simon Gee of SG Transport, private removals, who transported all the balloons, Bar Dreams at Las Gaviotas in Benalmádena and Bar Havana in Benalmádena Costa.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1930’s 1940's, 50's, 60's and early 70's ! First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us and lived in houses made of asbestos. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese, raw egg products, loads of bacon and processed meat, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes or cervical cancer. Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets or shoes, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking. As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle. Take away food was limited to fish and chips, no pizza shops, McDonalds , KFC, Subway or
Nandos. Even though all the shops closed at 6.00pm and didn't open on the weekends, somehow we didn't starve to death! We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this. We could collect old drink bottles and cash them in at the corner store and buy Toffees, Gobstoppers, Bubble Gum and some bangers to blow up frogs with. We ate fairy cakes, white bread and real butter and drank soft drinks with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because...... WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!! We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of old prams and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. We built tree houses and dens and played in river beds with matchbox cars. We did not have Playstations, Nintendo Wii , X-boxes, no video games at all, no 999 channels on SKY , no video/dvd films, no mobile phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms.......... WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them! We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever. You could only buy Easter Eggs and Hot Cross Buns at Easter time... We were given air guns and catapults for our 10th birthdays, We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them! Mum didn't have to go to work to help dad make ends meet! RUGBY and CRICKET had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.. Imagine that!!
Getting into the team was based on MERIT Our teachers used to hit us with canes and gym shoes and bully's always ruled the playground at school. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.. They actually sided with the law! Our parents didn't invent stupid names for their kids like 'Kiora' and 'Blade' and 'Ridge' and 'Vanilla' We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility,and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL ! And if YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS! You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good. And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were. Contributed by David Wells
