Shark Sets Record

Monday, October 15th, 2007

“Jaws” caught. Not the Hollywood shark of course, but one that has been compared to it.

Last week a record breaking Mako shark was caught. The shark was 11 feet long.

the fishermen had no intention of shark fishing, seems that the shark went looking for them.  The Mako was eating the grouper fish they were hooking, and eventually ended up on a hook himself.

It took 4 hours to land the shark once the struggle began. The boats captain, who has 40 years experience on the ocean, has never seen a shark that big.

Even after it was gutted, it still weighed 638 pounds, which is more than twice the old record.

Goats Fix Jet

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

Well heres a new way to deal with technical difficulties… find an unrelated animal and kill it as an offering to a machine. Way to live in the dark ages guys!

Airline authorities  in medieval nation of Nepal have sacrificed two goats in a effort to end aircraft technical issues.

The goats were sacraficed in front of a Boeing 747 jey at the international airport in Nepal after it starting having an electrical problem.

Officials hoped the offering would make happy the Hindu sky God , and in return the god would grant blessings to the jet.

The Nepal airlines, which posesses two Boeing jets, has had to pause some fights in recent time because of  problem.

Nepal Airlines says the sacrifice - done in accordance with Hindu practicess - was effective and they are performing services as normal

That area is home to the Newa tribe, whose history is loaded with   rituals and pageantry.

In one very odd tradition, menstruating girls are taken  from boys and kept in a competely dark room for 12 days.

On the 12th day, the young lady then worships the sun.

I wonder, does the education curriculum include science?

Blackjack Added to the 4in1 Game Lobby By Backgammon Masters

Sunday, August 19th, 2007

Developer “All-in-One Game Software” now has BlackJack!! Black jack adds to the already addictive fun of games like backgammon, poker, and perudo.

Of all the sites I have gone to and enjoyed this is the only one that allows you to play free, in an animated client. It allows you to use 10 languages. (Spanish, Arabic, Turkish, Hebrew, French, Japanese, Danish, Greek and German, and English). This particular provider of interactive entertainment boasts thousands of players networked at any given time. And now that they have BlackJack on the menu you can expect the number to grow exponentially.

The game itself offers high speed play, coupled with stunning visual graphics, each table holding up to 5 players. Each player can choose to create his own avatar which i had a bit of fun with. You can chat with fellow players, and even more interesting, the games possess a “view” mode, which allows other players to sit out and just watch the action!

Backgammon

Backgammon is a board game for two people in which pieces are moved based on the roll of dice. The first player to remove all of one’s own pieces from the board is said to be the winner. It is a part of the tables family, one of the oldest classes of games in the world.

Perudo

Perudo is popular dice game played in Peru, Chile, Bolivia and other South American countries. This game may be played by two or more people and, basically, is made up of guessing how many dice, under cups, there are on the table showing a certain number. The player who loses a round loses one of their dice. The last player having a die is the winner.

Blackjack

Blackjack is one of the most popular casino card games in the world. Blackjack’s popularity is due to the mix of chance with elements of skill, and the publicity that surrounds card counting . Blackjack’s precursor was vingt-et-un (”twenty-one”), which originated in French casinos around 1700, and did not offer the 3:2 bonus for a two-card 21.

Poker

Poker is a popular type of card game in which players gamble on having the better card combination (”hand”), by placing a bet into a central pot. The winner is the one who holds the hand with the highest value according to an established hand rankings hierarchy, or otherwise the player who remains “in the hand” after all others have folded (the player who makes an un-called bet.

Enjoy playing Backgammon, Perudo, Poker, and Blackjack.
