  • Friday Five

    1. Have you ever successfully played a prank on anyone? I used to. Not any more, as some ended up worse than I’d hoped.

    2. Has anyone ever successfully played a prank on you? Not often, as I hardly ever behave they way they expect.

    3. Do you think they moon landings were faked? No way. They left some instruments including a laser reflector to measure the distance. I can still send a laser beam and measure its reflection

    4. What the best April Fools day prank you've heard of? Feb the 29th

    5. Complete this sentence: "Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice..." and you are really smart. Teach me how you do it

  • Study of fossils shows prehistoric fish had sex

    So where did evolution go wrong?

  • Spams

    I am sure that you have all noticed the number of commercials appearing on BCUK. They used to be so rare, and now probably a quarter of all posts are advertising. I keep flagging them as spams, and yet, the number keeps increasing. Is there any way of blocking them? If not, very soon our blogs will become the rare posts hidden amongst commercials.

  • Help, not another health warning

    Now that eggs have become healthy, we are facing another problem:

    Researchers found that a daily drink causes an extra 7,000 cancer cases in women in the UK each year.

    However, we also 'know' that a glass of red wine a day decreases the chance of heart diseases, and the question remain, to drink or not to drink.

  • Night Market

    snails

    When night falls and day-stalls fade away, the night crowd appears and the place is reborn to a second life. The smoke rising from torches and open-fires smears the electric lights into aromatic illuminated haze that attracts and captures the hungry crowd, who get trapped, on their way to reaching the food, by night magicians and story tellers, who, to the sound of drums and other instruments, tell their stories and show their magic.

    The night is also the time when women come to life. Some with their families, others as beggars with toddlers trained to cry at will, whenever a tourist comes near. Young women emerge to find love, hiding from preying eyes in the safety of the crowd.

    If you took away the electric lights, you’d find yourself back at time when the forefather of these very story tellers were telling the very same stories; time when the ancestors of the food hawkers, were making the very same food in the very same way. As this place has attracted locals and tourist alike, and made them leave their money behind for generations.

    The call of muezzin is sounded from a nearby minaret. The crowed kneel on their knees to pray. Boys are pilfering from the food stalls, as they have done for a thousand years.

  • Enough with hypocrisy please!!

    Mr. Rondean had been awarded £62,500 for sexual discrimination. ‘It was not the money that was important,’ he said. ‘It was justice that I wanted’.

    On the same day Elain Hess, whose husband Stuart died after being addicted to cigarettes was awarded £5.6m. ‘It wasn’t about the money’ she insisted. ‘I just really hope this can help ….’

    If it’s not about the money, give it to someone else. If it is, enjoy it and shut up. Why pretend it’s something else?

  • Birth in the dark

    Due to a power outage, the house was dark, and the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl, to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby.

    Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Heidi pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor was born. The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry. The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3- yr old what she thought about what she had just witnessed

    Kathleen quickly responded, 'He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place .......spank his butt again!'.

  • Eggs and the extinction of the human race

    Until last month eggs were raising my cholesterol to dangerous levels and should have been avoided. Not any more. A new research has proven that eggs are good for my health, and will remain so until a future research will prove the opposite.

    I just wonder how generations of my ancestors managed to survive without knowing how to live properly, healthily and correctly. We should have been extinct by now.

    So until the final extinction, or it becomes unhealthy again, I am going to have Spanish Omelette for my dinner.

  • Boring sex

    I’m curious why boring is bigger and bolder than sex in bcuk’s user tags list?
    Is it true what they say about the English?
