HOW TO EFF-UP A SIMPLE TREKKING TRIP AND BLAME IT ON THE EVIL SPIRIT...

I love jungle trekking!! I haven't been to many of them, but the ones I had have made me crave for more. Jungle trekking would be worth all the-muscle-ache-while, when you seal the deal with camping at a favorite site, be it by the beach or on the hill top. The latter by the way isn't that good an idea since we all know that lightning tend to strike the highest points. The last thing you want is to become human toast fit for the eagles' breakfast the morning after. I'm sure you know that that's not what "being at top of the food chain" really means.

I've heard people coming back from such trips grumbling about how bad a time they had from the beginning of the expedition right up to the end. When they narrated their bad experiences, it is easy to see why they ended up having such bad luck. It's not because the environment was bad , but more of the lack of basic knowledge and preparation for it. Knowledge is indeed, power and in most cases, may even keep you alive.

If you are trekking within the country, and going deep within the jungle, I suggest you take a professional guide with you. A better option would be the locals, for example, the Orang Asli. Orang Asli is like the Sherpa of the Himalayas, provided we can communicate with them that is. Otherwise, be prepared to end your trekking rendezvous somewhere deep in Thailand jungle.

Some professional guides' charges tend to be the more likely the COD ( cause of death) rather than being eaten by the bears in the jungle. In such cases, perhaps you would want to go with a group of friends. This is when knowledge and skill is even more so important. It's better to be armed with survival skill rather than to rely on others, just in case the group gets separated.

There were people, foreigners who were lost in our thick jungle; you can read it in three British backpackers got lost in the Malaysian jungle , Biologist lost in the Fraser's Hill Jungles. His case was more of an overconfident one. But again, with knowledge, he managed to survive 5 days in the thick Malaysian jungle without food and occasional deprivation of water. It was his cell phone that saved his life. Well, that and 150 police officers who were deployed into the forest in a search party that had nothing to do with Google. It was a good story. Only thing, they had forgotten to ask him, was whether he had spotted any peculiar looking creature stalking him around. Some creature that look like this:


Seriously, isn't it a bit arrogant for these tourists to not contemplate getting lost in Malaysian jungles, when Malaysians ourselves often get lost in our own city, driving around and following the Malaysian Signboards!!

Bottom line, you've just got to be prepared and always presume that some things may go wrong and prepare for them. There are many books that i feel useful to read especially those written by people who actually gone to the place. I find the "Lonely Planet" series to be useful. They even have a "Trekking so and so" series. Do read book on the basic jungle surviving skills. They are extremely helpful. There are many useful link to read up. One that I find quite good would be "http://www.artoftravel.com " where they will even tell you how to pack your luggage, what type of sleeping bags to purchase for what season etc. Do check it out, it's a brilliant site!!

Rule of thumb for trekkers :

Enter the jungle with the hope of not facing any problem but at the same time anticipate and be prepared for them.

Most of the excellent sites/books are written by Western writers. They are excellent in presentation except that they lack certain type of preparation into the jungle that only the Malay books not to mention the Malay Bomohs can offer - Preparation against the spirits. Don't laugh. Even the Singaporeans have stories of the freaky type to tell about jungles in Malaysia. Here's one from a Singaporean. Of course they like to talk bad about Malaysian jungle, since they have no jungle of their own to bitch about.

Stories of Spirits enchanting children and bringing them to a mansion, deep in the jungle. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if those kids had made up the stories based on fiction of Hansel and Gretel due to sugar crave and to get out of trouble, especially when they know the adults will not only buy such stories instantly, but will blame shift the cause of them missing in the jungle to the spirits automatically. The need for further investigations into the mischief done by this kids will overruled by the need to investigate the spirits instead.

Or, I won't be surprised if these kids had stumbled upon one of Toyo's secret 3.5 Million mansion tucked deep in the jungle, and upon narrating, they had thought these kids had said the word "Istana Toyol", hence the misconception of the close encounter of a spirit in the jungle.

I think the broom gave him away......wonder if this broom can actually fly..


Well, here is where I come in, trying to give more information of the spirits that allegedly rule the Malaysian Jungle. It's bad enough that we have to cope with hantus in our parliament, now we've got to take care of the hantus in our beloved jungle. Do not belittle their importance, lest during the General Elections because apparently, their votes counts too!!

Ahhh..politicians. Let us not start on them. If Natural Selection is right, then their descendants should have noses longer than their dicks.

CLICK ON RABBIT HOLE TO KNOW HOW ONE CAN EFF UP A SIMPLE TREKKING TRIP AND BLAME IT ON THE SPIRITS....



Here are some of the the ways in how a simple trekking trip can be F##up and how you can blame it on the Spirits. Firstly, there are a few basic Spirits that you may need to be aware of, understand it's nature before you can pin the crime on them.
Spirit #I : Hantu Tetek a.k.a Hantu Kopek.

Hantu kopek is known to hide people especially kids beneath their huge breasts. I can't figure out what the Breast Ghost gets out of hiding people underneath their huge breasts. The horror on the human side depends very much on what type of breasts involved as the hideout. If you get these pairs:
Then I suppose you can call it horror ghost stories. But if you get these

lovely pairs belonging to Malaysian Hantu Kopek's cousins in the western side, then what's there to complain. I'm sure even the father of the kids wouldn't mind being abducted by the cousin of Malaysian Hantu Tetek.

Here's a logical probable explanation:

1. Maybe the child just wants to get away from the hustle and bustle or even chores and went off somewhere then claim he got hidden by hantu tetek?

2. Maybe the kid fell asleep from sheer lethargy after running around in the jungle?

3. Maybe the kid found mommy and daddy's "grass", and imagined being abducted by a pair of tits?

....and they are too scared to tell their parents the truth.

I mean think about it...have you ever heard of a full grown man being hidden by the Hantu Kopek? More importantly, have you heard of a full grown man being hidden by the Hantu Kopek AND complaining? Ponder on that....

Spirit # II : Toyol.

Toyol is a creature, small and dark in complexion, trained to be a thief. It's suppose to look like the picture below:
Oh, while Googling, I cannot but notice this picture below, purely coincidental finding I can assure you...
Seriously. There are people who swear that "Once you go black, you'll never turn back", but although toyol is "black", it's small and unless he can drag his bigger than life penis around whilst orchestrating a theft, I doubt he's got the proper tool to rape anything except a squirrel.

Now, in relation to the jungle trekking, please remember to guard your belongings, especially your food. Yes, things do tend to get missing but as far as my experience takes me, it's not the Toyo or the toyol that is responsible, but THESE be the culprits!!!

Yes folks. When you camp, be aware of monkeys. They are thieves, and best yet, the Hudud Law does not apply to them. So they get to keeps their hands to resume their looting. Hmm..maybe they too have an association amongst them UmNO - United monyet N Orangutans, not to be mistaken with their parallel humanly organization, who have more use for your money, compared to their sister organization.

Scientists though, may even research the method for Biological Control of species by merely causing extinction to the monkeys simply by feeding them with information from our newspaper such Berita Harian, or Metro. The monkeys will die instantly from laughter.

Well, technically, monkeys are pests so even though Biological Control is mainly for killing insects, but it may work on humans too. I mean when Ib Ali had that massive cardiac, it must have been from a covert operation exposing him to other parties that proved to be detrimental to his health. Basically, it was attempted murder in the eyes of Biological Control methods.

As for this fler below;
It doesn't take a genius to figure out some campers had left their drinks unattended....or maybe it had just snitched some tapai...

Spirit #3 : The Exorcissers ? (whatever they call the evil spirits that causes exorcism lar).

Wait. Before I resume. Let me share with you my experience with a patient who was "possessed". They called me to attend to this lady who was supposedly possessed, (clearly they called the wrong person because all I could do at that point in time was offer her some yippee drugs, which this bloody whatever that was suppose to possess her refuse to consume....it's not like we have a tranquilizer gun or anything like that...) and many funny (to my mind,....then again, I'm not her psychiatrist) happened but I recall one that I felt the funniest. We managed to get her voluntarily into the transportation to the hospital, lying to her saying we were sending her home instead, as she refused to seek medical treatment (like duuuh). I had already managed to drug her somehow ( don't ask), and off and on, she'd ricocheted from dozing off and being alert.

Unfortunately, the van was stuck in traffic and she was asking why were we on the road that is not heading towards her home, and why it was taking too long. She said aloud in a hoarse voice which was not suppose to be hers, "Why is it taking so loooong? Why don't you just open up the windows and let me just fly home. It's faster that way". I didn't hear the silence that seized the few people who attended to her inside the van, which was narrated to me later on because I was busy giggling inside my mind.....I think these spirits must think that humans are dumb creatures..

So back to the spirits that possess human bodies. When humans get lost in the jungle, especially in high altitudes, bear in mind, that when they behave irrationally, utterly confused or start to throw tantrums, then please think exorcism as the last explanation, until you consider these options for explanation, because the former diagnosis may lead the victim to one of the politicians' bomohs and these bomohs do not have Oxygen supply other than that contained in their farts sufficient to revive a victim of:

Tadaaaaa...... Brain hypoxia; or lack of oxygen in the brain, which is one of the symptoms of AMS (Altitude Mountain Sickness) and hypoxic victims tend to mimic in actions, those who are allegedly "possessed". A word of reminder. If you see some of our politicians holding the Keris, and talking like they are possessed, it is only because they too suffer from brain hypoxia. Try giving them Oxygen via mask (keep it to 98-99%) when you see such incidences at some of our political gatherings. Don't worry, not much oxygen consumption needed as one need to possess an actual homo sapien size brain to empty half of the oxygen cylinder.

Spirit #4 : Orang Bunian :

Orang Bunian are known to abduct people especially children who are fair and pretty. Dang... I was hoping to have the whole of Hindraf and Perkasa abducted. I don't think even the Aliens would want to abduct these bunch. Well, they are known to abduct humans for the purpose of studying our brains, so enough said :-)

If people go missing in the jungle, please think of these Bunian after you think of these explanations. It could be the victim suffers from:

1. Hypothermia. One of the symptoms of hypothermia is sluggish thinking, and amnesia which I suspect to be Tun Mahathir's working diagnosis of some non progressive Malays when he said, "Melayu mudah lupa". Well, Malays are generally known to be good at playing it coooool, so cooooool that they become hypothermic followed by sluggish in thinking ( that's just science being polite by the way).

How on earth do one get hypothermia when trekking? Well, we don't realize that as we incline, the temperature drops. In Malaysia even, when it rains, it is cold in the jungle. I have trekked with a bunch of egoistic goo goos that think it's cool to trek in singlets. Showing off the muscles is great for others but at the risk of getting hypothermic. Here's a tip, and probably a life saving one. AVOID wearing cotton attires. Why? Well, cotton do not have the property to wick moist.

What this means is that, when you wear cotton T-Shirts for example, this shirt will absorb your sweat but do not radiate it out of the material. What happens next is the insidious attempt of your body to dry this sweat from your t-shirt. That's simple physics. How do things get dried? Energy from heat, which in this case comes from heat generated from our body. So we loose heat without even realizing so hence end up becoming hypothermic.

Avoid cotton socks too because for the same reason that it does not wick our sweat, and the damp socks may cause blisters on our feet. Trust me, any trekker will tell you not to underestimate even the dawn of a blister. If you have the extra cash, purchase a Gore-Tex shoe because it'll keep your feet dry. In the case of trekking in wet conditions, then don't forget to invest in a mud gear, because Gore-Tex is expensive and a great shoe but once water comes into the shoes not through it, you can kiss your dry feet bye bye. THIS is how Gore-Tex material works.

Since we're in the topic of keeping warm, do bring along the aluminium blanket for emergency warming up. I got mine from the ACE hardware store in Mid Valley Megamall. I had a guy, well, the same dodo head who wore the singlet to trek, turned smurfy on me. I handed him my emergency aluminium blanket for him to keep warm. Well, if he looked like Gerard Butler, I may have joined him in the blanket as an adjuvant treatment.

THIS is how it looks like when used and THIS is how it's packed, at the size of the palm of your hands. A word of caution. Once used, please inform others before they mistaken you for another spirit called Hantu Bungkus. Then you may not only need to warm a hypothermic victim, but probably standby to ressucitate a probable heart attack too. I think any Hantu Bungkus that fancies aluminium blankets must inherit MJ's likings for shining costumes.

2. Hypoglycemia, simply means body low in sugar. Same symptoms of confusion where trekkers are prone to make mistakes. It doesn't help that when one is lost, they tend to go around in circles. One needs to carbo load with food that has a low glycemic index. (Oh....just google it). The same group of whom I had to hand over my aluminium blanket were the same smartie pants who served mee hoon, overcooked, I just called it bubur mee hoon and would you believe what was served when we reached the top of the gunung? OMG...maggee mee!!! I kid you not. You need a steady release of sugar in the body and some knowledge on food especially carbo loading and glycemic index may carry a long way...away from "the path of the evil spirit"....

Okay, here are some other tips on how not to F up and blame it on the spirits.

1. Carry your backpack or day pack light. If you back pack and trek, then you should carry a load of between 1/3 to 1/4 of your body weight. After a while, even 1 kilo feels like 10 and you don't want to blame the spirits for pulling you from behind. So, yes, if you know your stuff well, you don't have to abide to the "Jangan Pandang Belakang" scare.

2. Notice some folks have the habit of telling others not to say out loud or "tegur" when your nostrils buds caught some foul smell? Well, don't bother getting spooked. It's probable that someone had missed their shower or have not heard of Dr Scholls. I think it's a bit ridiculous having to endure one of your friend's fart and letting him get away with it, because no one was allowed to point the obvious, in case wrath will bestow upon you. Well, you are more likely to die from the consequences of not using your brains, rather than from the spirits. I think even if they do exist, they have better things to do than to have anything to do with the arrogant human beings.

3. If you have parked your vehicle somewhere, make sure it's at a safe place. You don't want to risk the Hantu Rempits stealing your vehicle now would you?
Any difference from the Human Rempits?

So remember folks. Knowledge is power, especially to survive. Frankly, most of the time, I am more scared of humans with bad intentions more than I am concern about bumping into spirits in the jungle. Men can be more evil than evil himself.

Knowledge will also do the Spirits justice, as they need not burden the guilt of men's idiosyncrasy by walking into the jungle unequipted and ignorant. So remember folks, when you trek the jungle, have a check list and don't forget to bring the important things.


But most of all, don't forget your brains...do not leave home without it!!!

Obama is dead.....my apologies...Osama is dead..what??!! again??!!

Tuesday morning this week turns out to be a joyful day for Malaysians. Not only we've managed to escape Monday Blues this week, but part of the joy comes from witnessing Arsenal defeating Manchester United in the Premier League, (not a big fan of Arsenal, just enjoy watching an MU defeat...any MU defeat. Come to think of it, I think MU hate club would have more fans that MU fan club.., oh but I digressed) a joy which I must say on personal note, is more meaningful than say the joy felt by some from the death of Obama bin Biden....oops....I mean, Osama Bin Laden. Or shall I say his second death?

Apparently Osama bin Ladin, who I suspect his decade of successfully evading the authorities would be made into a Block Buster movie co starring Bruce Willis in "Die Hard : The AlQaeda version", was killed in an operation by Navy Seal and the CIA, and then was buried at sea, long before anyone can say "Osama is...." .



American economy must be really bad because they finally have to pull out of Afghanistan. I mean, they don't need the illusion of the tyrant Osama bin Laden anymore right? Think about it. Aren't you curious as to how Osama bin Laden, who, "had escaped the most extensive and expensive man-hunt in history, stretching across Waziristan, the 1,500 miles of mountainous badlands on the borders of Pakistan and Afghanistan, had managed his three times a week dialysis in the caves of Afghanistan. United States should at least delayed burying his body instead of dumping it as soon as they can into the sea, for despite cultural and Islamic requirements of burying the dead a.s.a.p, I'm sure Islam would not mind reliving the "Golden Era" by allowing his body be researched in the name of science. I mean, Osama could be the first End Stage Kidney Failure patient to be able to hold on to 10 years of scarce dialysis.

Or, he could have possessed worlds first portable dialysis machine that ran on probably world's first most long standing battery life ever. Even Malaysians with our Malaysia Boleh spirit could not even imagine that such phenomenons can exist. We should even research how Osama had managed to perform all those bank transactions that supposedly have sponsored all those terrorist attacks, way deep in the caves of Afghanistan. We've already established that he used Digi mobile for all that phone calls from the caves to direct his disciples, because only Digi dare claim that they have those yellow beings following their customers everywhere.

Mainstream media agreed to go with the news that he was killed by the US and buried at sea .

An excerpt from the link above:

"We are ensuring that it is handled in accordance with Islamic practice and tradition," confirmed the official. "This is something that we take very seriously. And so therefore this is being handled in an appropriate manner."

Oh wow. I'm sure the CIA was thinking of enhancing the Islamic practices and traditions when they sponsored Osama bin Ladin's Al-Qaeda's struggles against the Russians some time back, albeit funny how he wasn't branded as a "terrorist" then. So I guess the definition of "terrorist" depends on who you are terrorizing.

And now he was immediately buried at sea. Why the rush? They cannot use the same air transportation to bring him back to land for a decent burial? I mean, if you're worried about carrying a terrorist in the air transportation, he's already dead, killed twice, just to be sure.

I wonder who offered the prayers at sea for his burial ceremony, since we are talking about appropriateness here. Was there a Muslim Navy Seal personnel on board, perhaps a Muslim CIA agent who managed to offer appropriate burial prayers before dumping his alleged body into sea.

Well, he was already dead sometime back somewhere between 2001 and 2002 and you can read the articles HERE, HERE and what the heck.. HERE. Last but certainly not least, HERE's an interesting article from my favourite journalist/author Robert Fisk. Fisk did mention he did not see Osama after the year 2001. He had interviewed Osama three times, why was he not granted a subsequent follow up interviews?

I think the retired CIA directors should attempt to write a book titled "How to kill a corpse for dummies : a CIA retrospect", I'm sure it will be a preemptive bestseller.......

9/11...revisited...again...and again...

I have always been intrigued by the mystery surrounding the event of 9/11. Before we proceed beyond this point, let me make it clear to you that my interest is purely in uncovering the truth. As far as I'm concern, all life form is sacred and any average Joe with the interest for the truth can agree that the world have since changed after this tragedy, and not in a good way. Humanity died , yet again on that very day. Many innocent lives have been given up thereon in the name of "holy war" or "war against terrorism".

My prayers and well wishes are for all the victims of 9/11, be you in that building that day or the innocent lives that were sacrificed in the subsequent events pertaining to that black day of humanity. Because of that tragedy, many more lives, innocent lives, were sacrificed in wars that did not even justify the event of 9/11 itself. You were all a part of a bigger plan. Unfortunately, this plan was... I mean, is, not that of the higher being but by a group of war mongers who feed their very tummies and the tummies of their families with blood money and surrounded themselves with worldly riches yielded from this very tragedy that took your lives away from your loved ones. May justice find you in the here after. In the mean time, may the living seek the justice in truth until we all join you.

Now. Tell me how such terms can ever make sense to the human brains? "Holy War". There is nothing holy about wars. There is nothing holy about killing your own kind. In fact, there is nothing holy about killing. If you have to go to war to defend yourself and the people you love, then it may be noble, but remotely, holy. Somewhere somehow along the lines of "holy wars", "war against terrorism", "mother of all wars" whatever, innocent lives are taken, and 99.9% of time, these lives do not comprise of that from the royalty, or those powerful people who instigated and insisted that the war was necessary or important in the first place. Most of the powerful people who insisted that war is necessary ended up not dying from war they help created, but from a rich man's disease such as a heart attack.

When a person blows himself up to bits, did he know that he was going to make innocent children from innocent fathers and mothers bystanders become orphans? Or was he thinking of the promised 99 virgins he was going to have halal sex all day long with when pushed that button? The world lacked virgins, what made him think that there would be more in heaven?

Frankly, when any war happens, it's more like "Holy Shit" bullshit more than it is a "Holy War"....

“The enemy isn’t conservatism. The enemy isn’t liberalism. The enemy is bullshit." —Lars-Erik Nelson, political columnist —

"War against Terrorism" . Now what in the name of cow's dung does that mean? You destroy terrorism by inflicting bigger terror ? So what does that make you? A certified Terrorist? Really, can someone tell me what the fish it means, this war on terrorism. I'm sure people like Gandhi would wonder, if anyone wants to die for a good cause, why not just fast to death to prove a point? I don't think Bush could have handled even half day of fasting though. He did not make sense with a normal blood glucose level, imagine what blunder, I mean, bigger blunder, he may have done with a low blood sugar in the brain. Then again, rumours has it he hired surrogate brains to do his job whilst he was off golfing half the time when he was in office.

What prompt me to rekindle my 9/11 research? It started when my eyes were feasted upon this article published this month, which originated from a 2009 article by Gordon Duff in Veteran Today.


GORDON DUFF: YEARS OF DECEIT: US OPENLY ACCEPTS BIN LADEN LONG DEAD



Turned out, the conspiracy theorists theories were right - that Osama bin Laden was long dead before his ghosts started appearing on videos come political elections. Somehow rather reminds me how the syyyyyyyyyyyy...May 13th tragedy would float during our elections. Here are some articles back in 2001 that reported the "possible death" of Osama bin Laden. Frankly, I would really like to purchase Osama's dialysis machine that had been able to operate somewhere deep in the caves of Afghanistan and do justice to some of the patients suffering from End Stage Renal Failure because of it's durability not to mention the long battery operating capacity since 2001 when Osama had failed to turn up for his scheduled three times a week dialysis.

Meanwhile, many wars had been waged whilst they debated, "To decease or not to decease, is the Question" game. Many lives lost. Many hearts broken. Innocent lives. Innocent hearts. Just like Smeagol, his fickle mindedness had it's cascades of detrimental consequences.

Then they debated the authenticity of the videotapes released. BBC ran an article on video threat. Take not that this was going on since 2002. The U.S "experts" said the video is authentic, but the Swiss "experts" claimed it was not. Later the Swiss refused to verify other videos pertaining to Osama Bin Laden. Frankly, Swiss makes great pocket knives, chocolates and their watches have excellent time precision. U.S on the other hand, makes war and they had gotten good at it according to George Carlin. So I'd vote for those Swiss boys.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDkhzHQO7jY



CBC ran a documentary on a movement comprising of Architects and Engineers who in 2006 decided to run an independent investigation on 9/11. It resulted in overwhelming evidence that 9/11 was an inside job.



I had posted in my blog earlier, should anyone have the passion and patience to read and listen for the quest of finding the truth. You can read it HERE

In 2004 however, Webster Tarpley came up with a very analytic outlook on 9/11, in his book "9/11 Synthetic Terror Made in USA". (you can download it FOR FREE HERE, in pdf form. Notice the capital letter spelled for "free"? That is because I know we Malaysians luuuurve anything that is free. But you can buy his book at the local bookstore). You can also listen some of his video clippings..

Here's history and economics coming towards you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Irux4sO00w




Another architect involved in Truth 9/11 movement, Kevin Barret, also gave his take on 9/11.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t36fUenwaxw&feature=related



They needed Osama bin Laden to remain "alive" , illusive ,un-captured, lost and undiscovered to enable them to wage the wars they already did, which never could have been waged had Osama been captured. The convenience came from ransacking the nations they wanted to ransack, in the pretext of looking for him. Did they know that he was dead back in 2001? Maybe, maybe not. More importantly, does it matter now?

Safest Sex is No Sex....especially for mosquitoes

You know how people like to say things like, "People who don't know how to use the public toilet should not be allowed to breed" ? You and I know that toilets in Malaysia not only is a perennial, but also a peri-anal problem, so not allowing these species to breed sounds quite logical. Scientists however, have not come up with ways to covertly make this happen to humans without them volunteering...yet... but the same cannot be said to the mosquito species.

Humans may suffer from narcissism and should be renamed megalomaniac-sapiens, claiming that we are the superior species ever to walk on the surface of the earth, but mosquitoes have long proven that they are more superior in a sense that they are more potent than our weapon of mass destruction, (which i reckon how Bush is passing his retirement time looking for) in killing the human species and not softly too. Bearing detrimental diseases such as dengue, yellow fever and malaria, humans have been terminated by the dozens of hundreds...

Just like the Irish and Bhai jokes, we make jokes pertaining to these blood suckers. Here's one:

"What is the difference between a mosquito with a briefcase and a lawyer? Answer: the briefcase".

So okay, that one was more for the lawyers, but you get what i mean. On hindsight, we doctors are blood suckers too. We draw blood from patients and the actual blood sucking takes place when we start charging.

But make no mistake about it, these species that we deem pests can take away our loved ones.

Here's a short video on mosquito, kind of an introduction:

( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjV0JpIAH78&feature=related )



Science have moved on beyond mosquito coils, Baygon sprays and mosquito netting etc. Science have managed to come up with alternative methods to somehow curb mosquitoes from breeding.
Yes, while the Muslims are busy using our pseudo-creativity on ways to terminate human beings via orthodox methods used in stone ages, for example stoning adulterers to death (well, can't blame them for the lack of creativity to think outside the box...there were ample stones...just sitting there begging to be disposed..... ), the infidels are blessed with the freedom from mental curbing and have the liberty to actually use the god gifted brains to research on more useful things like how to kill mosquitoes who kill humans. Now, if THAT is not HUMANity, tell me what else is.

Basically amongst the ongoing experiments are :

1. Scientist looking for methods to intercept mosquito's' foreplay. How rude is that?

Do you know that mosquitoes make music to a specific synchronized note as part of their foreplay? I didn't know either. These mosquitoes literally make music with their wings, in synchrony to that of their sexual partners , a way for them asking, "Hey baybee, your place or mine? And I thought they were just being annoying. Perhaps the Singaporean government may benefit from observing the mosquitoes sexual habits and learn how to utilize music as part of their governmental initiative to increase their population. Something else noteworthy - the next time you hear your dog howling for no apparent reason, it's probably because they hear the musical foreplay of the sound of mosquitoes trying to bunk each other, and got horny too.

Also, don't forget to remember that when you break the mosquito's wings, you're actually depriving it of sex too. That is probably why there is a hadith on breaking both wings of insects when it falls into the water, to okay the drinking whilst the insect with both broken wings is still within it. This is to not just ensure, but double ensure that we are drinking pure/suci (from any form of sexual activities) water. Otherwise, I cannot for the life of me think of any other sound reason for this habit. I also cannot help but wonder how the tone deaf mosquitoes have sex though..questions...questions. Anyway, here's a video on this phenomenal event.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPqNyzvhz54&feature=related




....or you can read it in detail from the Science Daily

So now, scientists are looking for ways to somehow de-synchronize the harmony of the mating tune, to what we Malaysians call, "potong steam". Well, I've always said that "The safest sex is no sex. That is why sex after marriage is safe, because the couple hardly have sex after marriage", but of course this is but another topic that does not concern the mosquitoes.

This experiment is on going. I can imagine the scientists working on how to throw off these mosquitoes' wing music, albeit I have a suggestion...THIS VIDEO may help these scientist?...talk about loony tunes eh... I won't be surprised if these male mosquitoes may even join the monastery after listening to this particular video :-)

You see, the ulama wasn't joking when they say music can lead to sex ergo the haram fartwa...(or was it dancing can lead to sex?)... hmm...P. Ramlee may be singing "Getaran Jiwa", but these ulamas have long suspected (or maybe through their personal experience), that some anatomical parts of the humans may be vibrating harmoniously as they set into foreplay without intention, when they hear saaaaay...Lady Gaga sing "Alejandro".

Anyway, here are some excerpts from the article that I'd like to comment on:

"Interestingly, the mosquitoes adjust the harmonic resonance of their thoracic box to produce a harmonic frequency that converges at a frequency that is the females' third harmonic (three times her fundamental frequency) and the males' second harmonic (two times his fundamental frequency). The study also is the first to definitively show that contrary to previous thought, female mosquitoes are not deaf."

Hello!! How could the earlier scientists even thought that it was the female mosquitoes that were deaf!!! I think it's the male in ALL species that have listening problems!!

"By studying these flight tone signals, we may be able to determine what kind of information males and females consider important when choosing a mate," said co-first author Lauren Cator, a Cornell graduate student who works with Harrington. "This will allow us to release 'sexy' transgenic or sterilized males that will be able to successfully compete with wild populations."

.... well, at least we know that within the mosquito world, size does not seem to matter....

To conclude, since Jakim, Jais dan kawasan kawasan yang sewaktu dengannya have almost always been intrigued by sex, I suggest that instead of wasting tax payers' money hounding the couples on Valentine's Day, why not spend some money studying sex amongst mosquitoes. Who knows, someday they may well live up to their pay by finally serving humanity by doing what they best do, prohibiting sex that has no certification.

2. Scientist who have already established a method to encourage female mosquitoes to have sex with sterile (genetically modified) mosquitoes instead of the fertile wild male mosquitoes. In fact thousands of GM (genetically modified...) mosquitoes were released somewhere in Grand Caymen Islands somewhere in the Caribbean (sterile sex in the Caribbeans..and a smoke afterwords) and they have managed to decrease the Aedes Aegypti population by 80%. Hmm...remind me why this reminds me of Singapore again? You can read it the article in April issue of Scientific American titled Outsmarting Dengue Fever.

Using Biological Control, Scott O'Neill of University of Queensland and his colleagues have been trying to curb the breeding of dengue by genetically modifying male Aedes mosquitoes making them sterile. (and by sterile, I do not mean dipping these male mosquitoes into a bowl of spirit, although if by "spirit" we mean tapai-like substances, then perhaps I have just found a more interesting experiment on mosquitoes which I would like to call "Mojito-ed Mosquito"). The video below may be how the experiment would go.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m-L8n-2Ouk



And that is why they are the scientists and I am not.

An excerpt from "Outsmarting Dengue Fever" :

"In December, British biotechnology company Oxitec released 6000 genetically modified male mosquitoes in Malaysia to the alarm of some groups that expressed concern about the possible effects of GM insects on humans and ecosystems. Results are not available yet"

Finally, Malaysia gets to be mention in an international magazine pertaining to sexual issues that is not embarrassing it's citizens. Thank god mosquitoes don't use mattresses, or Omega watches not to mention carrying around with them the registration cards. The "groups expressing concern about the effects of GM insects on humans and ecosystems" would probably be amongst a few; Perkasa, Hindraf , BN, and probably PAS (with it's 'propagating forth to Islamize the world via hereditary program ergo causing ecosystem imbalance ) only because they probably don't appreciate other species pissing on their trees.

In Malaysia, the results for the same experiment they did in the Caribbean is pending though. Being a Malaysian and cannot help but be infected by irony and pessimism. I suspect the cause of delay may be confusion amongst the scientists as they may have yielded the right results although not up to expectations, but through a process not clearly understood, leaving the scientists bewildered ergo the delay in announcing the results. This is because the tendency of male of any species, to turn bisexual in Malaysia is higher, especially if he is a politician and when the time is close to any form of election. So instead of having sex with the untampered female Aedes Aegypti, these GM (genetically modified) male species would probably turn bisexual and also have sex amongst themselves if not with the "wild male" species who before their encounter with these GM, never knew that they were bisexuals/gays, depriving the female mosquitoes of frequency of sex, but not decreasing chances in pregnancy each time they have sex. In short, these female species would be left to wonder "wtf?"...Love Hurts I guess..

Of coz there are ecological balancing issues that need to be studied and addressed when we introduce a genetically tampered species into the ecosystem or when we cause extinction of certain species. Funny how this discussion do not arise when the humans kill our own species in the name of God, genetic material which was believed to be more superior than the rest, race , political ideology etc. Or funny when we humans breed and breed and breed into the ecosystem in order to take advantage of democracy. Aren't these disrupting the ecosystem? We only care for our species when they are dead,not so much when they are alive, how ironic is that?

Well, for those who fear for the ecosystem, or even the extinction of species, here's one of my favorite videos depicting the wisdom of George Carlin....I can't never get bored listening to his stand up comedies over and over...

Bagai Ketam mengajar ketam ketam lain "Cat Walk."...

In the age and time when some women over 40s have problems deciding whether the heat they're experiencing within their bodies is from the global warming or due to just the simple process of menopause, nothing is more irritating than the extra heat obtained (in a non conjugal sense of it by the way) , when the eyes are feasted upon irritating new paper headlines to start off their otherwise cool mornings. As for me, the sufficient sleep and rest I had overnight, gave me the opportunity to to put my body and soul's rejuvenation to good use, especially on how to tackle such headlines.

Let me run you through the article, posted in on UtusanOnline . You can read it in it's originality HERE.

As we all know, Malaysians are amongst the panel of experts on reading in between the lines when it comes to the news. Give us a simple article from a news paper cutting and we are able to translate it into something else than what is written in the black ink. We have had ample training, having subjected by force to listening to our mainstream media for so long, before the birth of multimedia super corridor. Thank you Mahathir Muhammad for that, and I'm quite sure those people who like to condemn you in the very portal you've help created , have within them, deep down, a gratitude feeling towards you if not subconsciously, for making it possible for them to make their condemnations, public.

I can only imagine the amount of messages in the bottles we would have to leave at sea to communicate with each other should Badawi precede Mahathir in premiership. Oh, but I digress.

Below is the article I was referring to. My comment is in read ;-)
__________________________________________________________________________

Satu penghinaan bukan Islam baca al-Quran

KUALA LUMPUR 6 April –

Perbuatan orang bukan Islam membaca dan menghuraikan ayat-ayat al-Quran dengan sewenang-wenangnya tanpa perasaan ikhlas dan jujur adalah satu penghinaan terhadap kesucian kitab itu.

Pressing the Pause button.

Wait se minit. How do one know whether someone is sincere or honest or otherwise? Has any of the Intelligence Agencies started using a new invention called ikhlas-meter or jujur-detector? You know, the gadgets, that makes the basis of the pre-emptive war. If sincerity and honesty can be determined on spot diagnosis, why all those con men bothered dressing up impeccably to make an excellent first impression? If such gadgets do exist then most definitely Jakim , Jais dan kawasan kawasan yang sewaktu dengannya would have used these gadgets during their couples' round up on Valentine's Day for these folks are very up to date when it comes to busting couples in close proximity. Furthermore, if such gadget exists, I think our parliaments will echo not from the voice of wisdom but from the sound of sound waves ricocheting in an empty space.

And what do you mean by "suci"(pure/clean/untouched) when you say "kesucian kitab itu"? If by suci you mean "untouched" then we Muslims are experts in keeping the Quran "suci". We do it by keeping it on top of the highest point on the book rack to collect dust, unreachable, untouched, and sadly unread. We even need to take ablution in order to touch the Quran, if keeping it on the highest position is not deterring enough.

Yes, if so, we, the Muslims are the expert in keeping the kitab "suci". Perhaps that is why we need to ensure the non Muslims don't read / recite the verses too. We treat the Quran like a classic book... everyone knows it's great, but no one have actually read it in it's entirety. And we wonder where did we go wrong...Come to think of it, it is kind of ironic that the non Muslim politicians recites the Quran probably more than what our imams do at the mosques, for whatever agenda all have in mind. Anyone who listens to the sermons in the mosque would probably be able to notice this.

Which is more insulting? Non Muslims reciting the Quran or Muslims who don't ? After all, Quran is the words of God, and we should remind each other with it and of course, practice it as a deen more than it is a religion. Don't you think it is insulting to God that we don't acknowledge His words? It's like when your mom talks to you and you turn your face away whilst she's still talking. I don't know about your mom, but mine would correct my rudeness with a two tight slaps therapy. Funny. It usually worked.


Ia termasuk perbuatan membaca ayat al-Quran oleh pemimpin bukan Islam dalam ceramah-ceramah politik, terutama semasa kempen pilihan raya kerana ia boleh mendatangkan keraguan dan fitnah dalam masyarakat.

Is it because the Muslim politicians don't even know their Quran to begin with and feels intimidated by the non Muslims reciting the verses from the quran? What if the recital of the quran hits the context of the content of the ceramah and proven to be not misinterpreted? After all, Quran is not exclusively for the Muslims only. It is dedicated to mankind.


[81:27] Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds

It is the Muslims who claim the exclusivity, along with the name of God. Thank god the french are allowed to keep their beards.

Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom berkata, ketetapan itu dibuat oleh Jawatankuasa Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan dalam satu muzakarah khas yang diadakan 3 Disember 2010.
Err....you mean the same farters (sorry...I have this bad habit of calling words uttered through the other end of the food tract, farts) who claimed tapai (which swims in ethanol) is halal and poco poco is haram? (albeit the latter should be banned purely based on bad choreography).

Soooo, it's okay for the Muslim politicians to insert biased-ness into the Fatwa Council's fatwa decision making themselves, ergo using religion in politics but it is not okay for the non Muslims to use religion in politics? Why the double standards? Just because the Muslim politicians can? "Yes We Can" should have limitations to it you know. Along with power comes responsibility, ask Superman, he'll tell you that.

This is not considered manipulating religious bodies to influence a certain political outcome? Is this jujur and ikhlas? Why I say so, is because we are all still waiting for the real important fatwas to be announced. For instance, the fatwa on bribery.


But God said in

[2:188]And do not eat up your property among yourselves for vanities, nor use it as bait for the judges, with intent that ye may eat up wrongfully and knowingly a little of (other) people's property.

Is this not important enough for the Fatwa Council to come up with a fatwa on bribery?
Where is it then? Clearly Quran have many verses that ask the ummah to eschew bribery. Why emphasize on the ummah to eschew alcohol and sex only? Oops...I mean non halal sex probably uncertified by Jakim, Jais dan kawasan kawasan yang sewaktu dengannya. Sex for the purpose of propagating forth in hope to spread Islam via hereditary is halal of course. Or is it because these bribery practices do not involve women in majority?

Ketetapan ini bertujuan melindungi dan mempertahankan kedudukan serta kesucian Islam selaku agama Persekutuan sebagaimana termaktub dalam Perkara 3 Perlembagaan Persekutuan.

Hmm... in that case, the Muslims ourselves have breached the Perkara 3 Perlembagaan Persekutuan in that we have failed to protect and defend the status of Islam as the state religion. How sure are we that what we are defending now is a the right Islam? How can we say we are protecting , defending the status and sanctity of Islam when we the Muslims ourselves have many times proven that we have failed to decipher the teachings of our own deen ?

We are more concern about flogging alcohol consumers who consume in public, (not stated anywhere in the Quran, and we flog a woman..why not a man?), we flog adulterers more so if they are women, (biased-ness against women) we insist that covering women's head is wajib and I won't be surprised if women will get flogged in the future for not doing so. Meanwhile, there are some people who run the country who gets away with murder (err...no pun intended here, just to be clear), and the people who dare write about them gets prosecuted.

We talk about being Islamic simultaneously we do about the importance of being a Malay. One cannot talk about the importance of a single race within the context of a religion that is universal. It is simply contradictory. The purpose of Islam IS to unite mankind, regardless of the color of their skin, their culture and who they pangkah during the General Election.

Then there is the issue of the mosque blasting the prayers followed by the sermons as though these method will ensure the words of Allah will be automatically embedded into our souls, when in 17:110, it clearly states that this is not what is intended for us to do.

[17:110] Say: "Call upon Allah, or call upon Rahman: by whatever name ye call upon Him, (it is well): for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Neither speak thy Prayer aloud, nor speak it in a low tone, but seek a middle course between

So, how come we are blasting our prayers and sermons like everyone is hard of hearing? We have no qualms pointing fingers at the Hindu Temples for making noises, yet we make the same amount of noise ( I am NOT talking about azan here, just to be clear and just in case someone has started to asah their parangs), 5 times a day, 365 days a year, and during the leap years, 366 days in a year. Is this fair? Are Muslims the only ones with sentiments worth taking care of? How is Muslim's sentiments more important then the non Muslims? Is justice not the core of Islam?

[4:135];"O ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted with all that ye do.

Last but definitely not least, we practice corruption at all levels. Don't blame the politicians for being corrupted because we live in a democracy system, therefore the majority of rakyat have got to be either corrupted, ignorant or both in order for the politicians to get elected to parliament.

"So folks, let me ask you this question, "What kind of Islam are we protecting and defending again?"

I suggest, we Muslims comprehend our religion first before lodging into this overzealous mode of passing judgments or decide to prosecute others or even die for it. For all you know, we may just be the product of some bigger plan, but not that belonging to the Higher Being.

How did we manage to do all of the above again? Simple. We had disregarded the words of our Creator, which is the Quran.

The Quran never stated that it is exclusively for the Muslims only. On the contrary, Quran is for all mankind;

[81: 27] "This is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds.

[18:54] "We have explained in detail in this Qur'an, for the benefit of mankind, every kind of similitude: but man is, in most things, contentious.

So let's not talk about preserving and defending the sanctity of a religion we ourselves are struggling to fully comprehend. Being born a Muslim may make one a Muslim by chance, but not necessarily a Muslim by virtue.

Perbuatan itu perlu dihentikan dengan segera kerana ia boleh menyebabkan timbulnya suasana tidak harmoni dalam negara serta benci-membenci dalam kalangan masyarakat berbilang kaum dan agama,” katanya

Silly me, I thought the Muslims are doing a great job at instigating hate amongst ummah ourselves and well, the race-based political party handles the rest of the excuses for humans to hate each other I reckon. Frankly, I think my grandfather and my father's generation not only understood the "One Malaysia" concept, but had actually lived it. I can't say the same for the later generation. Just go out for lunch and observe the sittings and you will notice that "One Malaysia" is a myth. In fact don't talk about one Malaysia unless we are prepared to talk about abolishing the vernacular school system (sekolah kebangsaan if anything is also vernacular).

Otherwise, we should all just have a "One Shut the Fish Up " Day on Sept the 19th to celebrate the hypocrisy of it all.

As for the Muslims doing a great job at instigating hate amongst ummah, anyone who disagree with me should try to explain, in less than 500 patah perkataan, why the Sunni and Syiahs pray to the same god, circumbulate the same Kaabah, but kill each other in the name of that same god.

So really....... do you think a few non Muslim politicians citing what the Muslim politicians should be citing in the first place, (if not practice it), is going to really make a huge impact on instigating hatred amongst ummah?

Beliau berkata demikian ketika menjawab pertanyaan Datuk Ibrahim Ali (Bebas-Pasir Mas) ( this guy is still not getting it, in his second chance in life) mengenai tindakan kerajaan bagi memastikan al-Quran tidak dijadikan gimik politik oleh pemimpin bukan Islam, di Dewan Rakyat hari ini.
The fact that he gets the terminology "keistimewaan orang melayu" wrong shows how un-Islamic he is in this aspect. He doesn't get that "Istimewa" is more like how we refer to the disabled rather than "ketuanan" Melayu. The word "Ketuanan" itself is un-Islamic. Hmm.. maybe his excuse for not reading the Quran is because he is constantly struggling to grasp the Quran from the highest point of his book rack at home. Guess that is his ...erm...short.. comings.

Menurut Jamil Khir, dengan keputusan itu, pihak berkuasa boleh mengambil tindakan undang-undang mengikut Seksyen 298 Kanun Keseksaan terhadap sesiapa sahaja yang berniat mahu melukakan hati penganut Islam.

Seriously, being self centered is so un-Islamic. Is Jamil Khir trying to imply that only the Muslims have "hati yang boleh dilukai"?. What about the rest of the people, the ones we brand non Muslim. Are they heartless? Who decided that "Allah" is exclusive to Muslims only? Has it dawned upon anyone that the other religion who have been using the word "Allah" longer than Larry King had gone Live, may have their hati terguris and dilukai for being accused of trying to steal the Muslim God away from them?.

Mengenai dakwaan Siti Zailah Mohd. Yusoff (Pas-Rantau Panjang) bahawa keputusan Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan itu bakal menakutkan penganut bukan Islam, beliau berkata, tuduhan tersebut tidak berasas sama sekali.

Agreed. Siti Zailah's accusation is definitely baseless. I think some of the keputusan Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan like the ban on Valentine's Day and the Poco Poco dance is just scary, regardless of whether you are Muslim, non muslim, or human beings reciding on the planet earth or other intelligent beings in the universe...or any intelligent beings anywhere for that matter.

“Kita bukan mahu menakutkan orang bukan Islam, mereka bebas untuk mendalami Islam, tetapi dalam kes membaca ayat al-Quran, ia perlu disertakan dengan keikhlasan dan bukannya bersifat politik semata-mata,” jelasnya.

Unfortunately, this lesson has yet to be learned by the Islamists and religionists around the world. The "enemies" of all religions only feed on the confusion and ignorance of their disciples in regards to their own religion. Even the Satan works merely by the power of suggestions.

end of article and my erm..transliteration..
___________________________________________________________________________


I have to agree though, that using religion, whatever religion it may be for the purpose of gaining political grounds is just simply indispicable. And yet, it has not stopped anyone from doing it though, not even today. In the past, the CIA for example, had used "Islam" in it's "fundamental" form in order to achieve a certain political outcome. Osama bin Ladin was trained and sponsored by the CIA when the Americans needed to get the Russians out of Afghanistan. The Mossad, had created Hamas in order to counter Fatah, namely Arafat. The result is fundaMENTALism of course. Having said that, it was the Muslims' ignorance of their own religion that help made the job of these "enemies" an easy task.

Before you start yakking about the infidels using Islam as a tool to manipulate in politics, do yourself a favor by reading the Islamic history, and no, not the crap they sold us in school. We have done it just like the Christians and other religions had. the Muslims were also the experts back then, in using religion to gain political strength. Religion hitherto, remain amongst others, one of the most effective tool for governance. Anyone who claims that Islam was not spread via the mighty sword, after calculating the amount of blood shed throughout the "Golden Era" of Islam through it's history of domination, not to mention those of the descendants of the Prophet Muhammad himself, needs to get a cognitive test done stat, or change to the capua (abacus lah) to calculate blood loss. You may be having what Ibrahim Ali is having and we're not talking about the halal tapai juice that can be either shaken or stirred.

How can Muslims today justify the wars in the past that led Islam to it's "Glory", when clearly in the Quran, it states that war is only for self defense and when oppressed?

[2: 256]"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.

Which part of the "Let there be no compulsion in religion" bit we did not comprehend?
One can safely conclude after reading the history of Islam, that Islam as a deen is not doing as financially good as Islam as a religion. Then again, how many of us Muslims read, even though though the "Iqraq" or "Read" is the very first word uttered in the Quran.

Today, fundaMENTALism have gained worldwide grounds, and it's establishment comprises of those who sincerely are looking for true religion to feed their soul, only to be manipulated into a religion that narrowed their mental scope to that of a pedantic and parochial mode, making them the perfect weapon of mass destruction.

FundaMENTALism had sabotaged the real Islam. In a more simple term, Islam have managed to gather strength from a majority of ignorant trusting fools,hence the outcome is what rubbish that comes out on the media on daily basis. In some part of the world, raped women who are unable to supply 4 witnesses will be stoned to death. How can we qualify ourselves as being human if we accept such inhumane law, one that is contradictory to the core of Islam and any religion itself, which is JUST. It's no wonder Allah said in

[6: 116]"Wert thou to follow the common run of those on earth, they will lead thee away from the way of Allah. They follow nothing but conjecture: they do nothing but lie.

Basically folks, let me break it down to you. What we are witnessing today, are ...well, let me put it this way. Have anyone seen how dogs would pee on trees to mark their territories? Well, the Muslim politicians are angry at the non Muslim politicians for peeing on their tree. That's what this is all about frankly.

Of course the Muslim politicians are pissed because it is easier for the non Muslim to piss on trees compared to the Muslim politicians. For the latter, many intricate processes are needed in correlation to Muhammad before they are able to let out that pee. It would make it easier for them if they can recall easily the doa masuk tandas. And for that reason my friends, is how I am convinced that it was not Anwar in that sex video. There was no video coverage of him reciting the doa before having sex. As whether who circulated the video, remains amongst the clusters of illusive truths....which is somewhere out there...not in here.

"Dear politicians,

Really. Is this the best you can offer us ....and we have to pay you with our hard earn money for this dumb humor? It's not even ha ha funny anymore. Why don't you guys start talking about the issues and not distract us with the stupid ones.

"It's the economy stupid!!" - Bill Clinton - (and no..we've had enough of Monica Lewinsky jokes, no there is none here).

As for the Muslim politicians who wants to stop the non Muslim politicians from quoting the Quran, out or in context, here's an old Malay proverb to revive the memory, because, you know lah...Melayu mudah lupa kan?

Kata kata mutiara untuk ahli ahli politik:

Kalau dah ketam tu, tak payah lah mengajar ketam lain Cat Walk.

As for those who still wonder about my political stand, here's a kata kata mutiara worth pondering this week:

"Politicians are like diapers; they need to be changed often and for the same reason."
