Turkish Ricky Martin, Now In English

I stumbled across this a while ago and thought I’d share for anyone who hasn’t heard of Tarkan (the guy who wrote that catchy “Kiss-Kiss” song). Anyway, hearing him in English kinda made me laugh, yet cringe at the same time.

You can listen to some here – the picture is for the ladies.

Although, I gotta say that song is kinda catchy..

Tips on Eating the Most Possible Amount of Food Today

I figured a competitive eater would be the best source to go to in order to find out. Here are some tips from the world’s reining competitive eating champion, Takeru Kobayashi.

Like any professional athlete, Kobayashi trains hard to remain at the top. Like a baseball pitcher strengthens his arm, Kobayashi works to prepare his most vital body part: his stomach. The key is getting the stomach used to stretching to accommodate large amounts of food in short bursts. Kobayashi exercises several hours each day to shrink his stomach. Then he drinks gallons of water and eats lots of hard-to-digest foods like cabbage to stretch it out.

  • On October 28, 2006, Kobayashi set a new world record during the 2006 Krystal Square Off in Chattanooga, TN, consuming 97 Krystal burgers in 8 minutes.
  • Other world eating records held by Kobayashi include 17.7 pounds (8.0 kg) of cow brains in 15 minutes and 20 pounds (9 kg) of rice balls in 30 minutes.

Goddammit! IN FRENCH la Barbe!

Putain! – Goddammit; literally means (“whore”). Funny the French would confuse the word God with whore.

In case you missed it from last week, dammit is translated to le barbe.?

1,000 Orang-utans Have Died the Year in Indonesia

We treat all of the great apes like shit (including ourselves). It is really a shame that all of the great apes (aside from Homo sapiens) are endangered species.

Orang-utans are critically endangered.

Ningsih, a four-year-old orang-utan, examines a newspaper in a Jakarta zoo. At least 1,000 orang-utans are estimated to have died in Indonesian land-clearing fires this year.
