The sexiest profession
What profession is found to be the sexiest by women? A survey done by a London dating agency Drawing Down the Moon revealed that architects get all the ladies: Architects are seen as being „balanced and rounded individuals who combine a creative approach with a caring, thoughtful disposition,” the survey found. It concluded: „Their ability to cope with pressure of work in a relaxed manner was also deemed to be a significant plus.” Male architects beat stockbrokers, doctors, film directors and teachers to the top spot.

Unique pictures …
People take picture of a sculpture by J.Seward Johnson in San Diego. The 25-foot high sculpture is based on the famous photo by Alfred Eisenstaedt, of a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square to celebrate the end of WWII.
You don’t like reading …
If you don’t like reading but you have the house full of books, as much as it pains me to see books damaged, I have some suggestions here, and some of them are … pretty cool. There are lots of interesting things artists have done with literature… other than read it, of course.
Daca nu va place sa cititi …
Statisticile spun ca se citeste din ce in ce mai putin. Fie din cauza ca sunt prea scumpe, fie pentru ca e mai simplu sa citesti recenziile facute de cei ce inca mai deschid o carte, fie pentru ca internetul si televizorul ocupa tot mai mult timp, cartile devin obiecte … de decor. Asa ca artistii au venit cu cateva idei despre cum sa fie folosite cartile, si oricat o sa va doara sa vedeti cartile astfel transformate, unele obiecte chiar arata bine.
Have you ever seen a drunk monkey?
The vervet monkey is common in East Africa and adapts easily to many environments. Vervet monkeys living near areas inhabited by people can become pests, stealing food and other items and raiding crops. Good climbers, jumpers and swimmers, they often elude capture. This is a video from the BBC’s „Weird Nature” series of „wild living”, vervet monkeys from St. Kitts that perform daily raids on the island’s bars. Some parallels between human drinking habits and „alcohol gene” are also discussed in this movie. Just like humans, small primates can acquire a taste for alcohol – and behave in a similar fashion when under its influence, scientists have discovered.
Ati vazut maimute bete? Iata-le!
Maimuta vervet este comuna estului Africii dar se adapteaza usor oricarui mediu. Maimutele vervet ce traiesc in preajma asezarilor umane devin daunatoare, fura mancare sau alte obiecte si ataca culturile. Sunt bune cataratoare, saritoare si inotatoare excelente, asa ca scapa cu usurinta cu capturile. acesta este un fragment dintr-un film produs de BBC din seria „Weird Nature” si trateaza problema maimutelor vervet din St. Kitts ce fac zilnic raiduri la barurile de pe insula. Se fac unele paralele intre obiceiul de a bea al oamenilor si existenta „genei alcoolului”. Micile maimute, ca si oamenii, pot dobandi gustul pentru alcool – si se comporta similar cand se afla sub influenta lui – au descoperit oamenii de stiinta.
Life’s for sharing
A nice commercial from T-Mobile that feels like a mix between the very popular Frozen in Grand Central and Evolution of Dance video clips. This is the fantastic new T-mobile advert which was filmed at 11 am on Thursday 15th January 2009 at Liverpool Street station, London. You should see first the making off and than the official videoclip. Enjoy!
James Bond in Bangkok
Poate cel mai bun Bond din toate timpurile, Pierce Brosnan nu are rolul principal in aceasta reclama ce se desfasoara pe strazile din Bangkok, Thailanda. Este condus insa in stilul personajului interpretat de el, de soferul unei ricse care tine cu orice chip sa-l impresioneze pe fostul Agent 007. Delicios!
Nine-year-old carried friend to safety
Memorial Hermann Hospital officials tell Eyewitness News that Eric Kelley, 10 years old, is listed as stable, after he was hit by a driver in the east side of the town, who then fled the scene. He and his friend were on their way home on their bicycles around 7pm Tuesday when police say an SUV ran a stop sign at Avenue E at Cesar Chavez and hit Kelley. Police said the vehicle stopped long enough for someone to get out, remove the bike from underneath the car, and leave the scene. In the meantime, Ruben Nuncio, the youngster’s nine-year-old best friend jumped into action, carried him home, and called 911.
