Norwegian treat

Aug 04, 2022

Jarlsberg is one of the best tasting cheeses around and it's healthy!

In a scientific battle of the cheeses, Norwegian researchers said Tuesday that a small daily portion -- 57 grams, or roughly 2 ounces -- of Jarlsberg, which originated in Norway, may help prevent bone thinning from osteopenia and the more severe condition, osteoporosis, without increasing harmful cholesterol.

I'll remember to add a little bit extra in my omelet tomorrow.

Ugly "luxury"

Apr 24, 2022

What over half a million buys you in one of the big "affordable" cities in Canada. The shower in the open, just a couple of feet away from the bed, in the master bedroom is so bizarre. The noise and the humidity would be so annoying.

The tone is set from the very first photo. Three jarring colors! Uneven and irregular windows! Steps from a prison! A 3-D front face! Behold!

Ugly motherfucker

The famous quote from Arnold in Predator comes to mind.

Not taking the fourth

Feb 16, 2022

The comedian who collapsed on stage after bragging about getting her third booster shot told Dr. Drew during an interview that she probably won’t be getting a fourth shot.

She fainted on stage with perfect timing. The audience laughed. She survived and learned her lesson the hard way. I wonder how many weren't lucky? What if one faints while on a hike, taking the stairs, riding the bike, or driving a car? A lethal car accident, in such a case, couldn't even be counted as a consequence of the dreaded vaxxes.

Canada is colossal

Oct 15, 2021

I've heard stories from colleagues about visiting relatives who wanted to tour locations in Canada while not having a clue about geography. For example, someone's parents were interested in going to the local mall and then a drive over to see Niagara Falls later that day.

They were in Montreal! That's a fourteen-hour round trip. The parents were even more bummed to learn that driving to Vancouver was totally out of the question.

Middle East in Canada?

Jul 03, 2021

Summer temperatures in the mid to late 40s is normal in the Middle East. I once experienced 52 degrees Celsius in one miserable Arabian summer. However, this is definitely not normal for Canada:

That's brutal. People here consider days with 30+ temperatures as a heat wave. They're not ready -- mentally and physically -- for such scorching, life-draining heat. Worse, the infrastructure isn't there -- many don't have air conditioners which become a necessity in such circumstances.

Between last Friday and Wednesday, the BC Coroners Service saw a 195 per cent increase in the number of unexpected and sudden deaths it typically sees in a five-day period. During that time, 486 deaths were reported. That number is usually closer to 165, officials say.

One hungry kitty

May 17, 2021

It can crush your skull and it's roaming about. Other than that, please stay calm:

A safari park in eastern China is facing criticism for concealing the escape of three of its leopards over a week ago.

Two of the animals from the Hangzhou Safari Park have been captured but the third is still missing, according to the Global Times newspaper.

Makes one wonder: this isn't the first time an animal has escaped their grasp.

Happy Haraam!

May 15, 2021

Incompetent wokeness:

A Swedish multicultural food store has landed itself in hot water. In an attempt to present itself as open to Muslims, they chose to wish believers "Happy Ramadan!" on a flyer. The only problem was that the advertisement was adorned with meat in the form of a Swedish pork chop. "We hope that those who have taken it badly can be generous and forgiving," the store repented.

Next year, it'll be delicious bacon with beer!

One is. The other has to become.

May 02, 2021

Very true. Women list high income as one of their requirements for a mate. Of course, logically, most men don't.

There are so many!

Apr 11, 2021

In other sports news:

Sachin Tendulkar, who was hospitalised as a precautionary measure after testing positive for COVID-19, was on Thursday discharged and is now recuperating at home in Mumbai, while staying in isolation.

Though, Sachin did go out for a few moments of cricket earlier today. Here's one photo:

No more lagaan

He looks the same as he did twenty years ago. Extraordinary!
