The habit of funny translations from the Chinese language into English has not abated, with the replacement name of a popular Chinese bun being just as odd at the original.
So the famous meat and vegetable filled stuffed buns will now be known as “Go believe’ buns
It seems the original Chinese name when translated came out as “a dog would ignore it” and is said to come from the nickname of the man who began selling them some 150 years ago.
It seems some people are just plain dumb.
Like the lawyer you jumps into the ocean AFTER the water has been laced with fish blood and fish parts.
Or like tour operators who lace the water with fish blood and fish parts and then tell their clients to jump in.
If course the client that you do especially do NOT want to have a problem with is a lawyer.
A secret Malaysian made probe has captured amazing images of a weird life form - perhaps the first indication of what alien life looks like.
The probe, code named the PSA 530, captured these images of this strange life form today.

I’d want to know what restaurant this chef had been at - and what was on the menu…after he was accused of murdering young a young woman, but supposedly did not know his victim was dead until after he stopped having sex with her corpse.

Mr Rude, a new Mr Men character with a French accent and a flatulence problem, is reportedly threatening Anglo-French relations.
The new bright orange cartoon is the first with a foreign accent to join the children’s book and television series, whose more traditional characters include Mr Happy and Little Miss Helpful.
“Oh, parr-donne me!” says the ball-shaped figure in a heavy Gallic accent, after noisily breaking wind in a game where children are invited to pull his finger on the Mr Men website.
Imagine the uproar if you could not get some of the coinage of your own country at home but had to buy it from a foreign bank halfway around the world.
This is just the situation that has people of the tropical islands of the romantically named Cook Islands have been faced with - and it is upsetting their love life.
It seems a silver Cook Islands St Valentine’s Day coin ‘Love is Precious’ has been minted for release this month, but the perfect Valentine’s gift coin is only being sold in all places, the cold and one would have to say decidedly very un-laid-back country of Bulgaria.
Senator Hillary Clinton has left supporters dumbfounded with the revelation of her latest campaign tactic in an attempt to catch up with Barak Obama will be the use of a cigar.
In the face of flaccid results in the most recent polls, Clinton has decided to use cigars to provide a new angle in an attempt to impress voters.
“Cigars and the name Clinton are synonymous so she has decided to leverage off Bill’s past and attempt to insert her authority on the rest of the Presidential campaign,” said a Clinton camp insider.
I reckon it’s a bit like selling ice to the Eskimos, especially given that the region has just had it’s coldest winter in eight years. Personally I think that some nice rum would be needed to warm everyone up - a bit like anti-freeze for the veins.
But dear old Mrs Stevens reckons otherwise, and man, is she standing by her views in her letter to the editor of the Alaska Star. [Read more →]
A rule at Camden-Rockport Middle School that prevents use of naturally bodily functions has well, sort of blown up in their faces…
A short article for a school newsletter written by two eighth-grade girls at CRMS about boys intentionally flatulating to disrupt classes created a national media sensation, according to Principal Maria Libby.
“The article on ‘intentional flatulence’ written in the informal FireCracker Newsletter last week moved from the classroom to the Village Soup [online newspaper] to national headlines with lightning speed,” Libby said.
