World’s Best Lovers – The Spanish Men

Are you among the world’s best lovers? OnePoll.com conducted a poll of 15,000 women from 20 countries asking them to rate nations on the ability of their men in bed and to give reasons for their answers. Who are the world’s worst lovers? Results of the poll showed that the German men are the worst, because they are “too smelly.”

The world’s best lovers are the Spanish men.

American men are considered worst too — being too rough in bed! Do you agree with the poll results?

7 Deadly Sins of South Dakota

No, I did not originally come up with the title. There is a team from Kansas State University Geography Department that mapped the 7 Deadly Sins across America, by plotting per-capita stats on things like theft (envy) and STDs (lust).

See where South Dakota is on the map. Are South Dakotan sinners? South Dakotans seem to be saintly in terms of envy and wrath. But look at “lust”, oh my, the western part of SD is so devilish.

Check out the 7 maps below. But first, here is the legend.

Manila Flooding worst in history

My little brother, Jeffrey, who works in Manila, was among the thousands of people affected by the tropical storm “Ondoy” (international codename: Ketsana) that hit the Philippines this weekend. After my sister (in Illinois) and I heard about the worsening situation in Manila due to flooding caused by the torrential rains, we immediately contacted our brother, but to no avail. His phone, and all his friends’ phones, were unreachable. We posted messages on Facebook hoping other friends and relatives could somehow trace our brother’s whereabouts.

Last night, we finally got a note that my brother and some others were trapped in the second floor of a two-story house. Water on the first floor was about chest-high.

Oklahoma City Bombing Tapes, Released

Jesse Trentadue, a Salt Lake City attorney, has obtained a copy of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing video tapes through the federal Freedom of Information Act. The video is now posted online.

If you watch the video, something is actually lacking. The video shows events minutes long before the blast and then goes blank before 9:02 a.m., when a truck bomb carrying a 4,000 pound fertilizer-and-fuel-oil bomb detonated in front of the Oklahoma City federal building. Where are the rest of the video? Why are they missing? There were four cameras monitoring the place at different locations and all of them coincidentally went blank at the same time! Coincidence. Really? Maybe not.

Family Bath-time Photos, not allowed in WalMart

Warning to all those planning to get their family pictures developed in Walmart — Walmart employees are very strict on bath-time photos! Even if the photos are clearly innocent family photos, Walmart employees will look at it as very sexual.

This is what happened to a poor couple who took a memory stick to a Walmart store in Arizona for processing. There were 144 photographs taken mostly during the family’s vacation in San Diego. There were seven to eight bath photos of their three girls partially nude and playing in the bath tub. The ignorant Walmart employee found the family photos offensive, lewd or pornographic and so Walmart turned over the photos to the police.

Bank of America gets a ridiculous lawsuit

How could a man sue Bank Of America for an amount that is even bigger than the world’s $60 trillion GDP? Dalton Chiscolm is suing the bank for 1,784 billion trillion dollars. Ask what NYU math Professor Sylvain Cappell have to say about this: “These are the kind of numbers you deal with only on a cosmic scale.”

I think the amount is hilarious and Dalton Chiscolm is a joke! That is why lawsuits are clogging up the legal system because of jokes like this.
