Even Daft Punk would be green with envy...

Check out DJ Kid Chameleon's Macintosh Plus and iPad helmet! It's hooked up to his A/V system so the custom graphics and LEDs are in tune with his music!

Cool!

The Best Way to Cure Your Hangover, according to science.


Hmm, I've always thought that dehydration were the cause of hangovers. Usually I'd load up on fluids constantly and I'd be fine in the morning. I guess I'll try coffee and Panadols the next time.

What's your hangover cure?


Coffee and an aspirin 'best hangover cure' after all

Forget hair of the dog, honey on toast or raw eggs - if you really want help overcoming a hangover - drink a cup of coffee with an aspirin.

Scientists have confirmed what millions have suspected for years if you want to soothe a tired head - simply take some caffeine and a painkiller.
They found the caffeine in coffee and the anti-inflammatory ingredients of aspirin and other painkillers reacted against the chemical compounds of ethanol, or pure alcohol.
Ethanol brings on headaches thanks to a chemical acetate it can produce and even low doses can affect some people more than others, said the study.
Professor Michael Oshinsky, of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, induced headaches in rats using small amounts of ethanol.
He then gave them doses of caffeine and anti-inflammatories to find it blocked the acetate and relieved the headaches.

Prof Oshinsky told the journal New Scientist "none of the commonly cited causes of hangovers could have caused this response".
The rats were not dehydrated either, going against an argument that coffee should not be used as a hangover cure because it just causes further dehydration.
The research will spark a new debate over just what is the best cure for a throbbing head after a night on the town.
Some argue drinking water is better than a caffeinated drink because it rehydrates the body while others still swear by the restorative powers of a full English breakfast to redress the body's balance.
Others argue for a hair of the dog, in particular something including a fruit juice and a little bit of spice which is why a Bloody Mary is often cited as a popular choice.
And some advise against using painkillers, particularly the stronger ones like aspirin and ibuprofen, as they can cause stomach upsets after a heavy night out.
This is because they give the liver work to do when it is already stretched trying to deal with all the alcohol from the previous evening, so the argument goes.
Oshinsky's tests on rats left a 4-6 hour gap between giving them the alcohol and giving them the cure as this allowed time for the headaches to develop.

Even under anesthesia... "Dentist Chair Hoonage"

How much of a petrol head are you? Are you as bad as this bloke? *laughs* Even knocked out from anesthesia, he's still dreaming of the race track!

Notice how his heart rate goes up as he accelerates. *laughs*


So at the beginning of this past spring break, I had my wisdom teeth removed. I was under heavy anesthetics and it seems my inner hoon came out. I remember nothing from the day other than the drive to the dentist and meeting the anesthesiologist. The surgeon had his HD camera ready for documenting another patient and was lucky to catch this. They say I did this the whole time. My dentist supposedly had to repeatedly tell me to "slow down" because I was frightening other patients. This was his gift to me this holiday season, as we have been waiting for a copy of this video for a long time. Alas, I am sharing it with my fellow hoontastic Jalops. So enjoy guys!

Merry Christmas:)

Rocketeer...

This damn song has been stuck in my head for the longest time. Check out the video clip of Far East Movement performing Rocketeer. Has some really dope S30's in there. Dammit I still want one of those. Timeless classic...

Clip below...



Here's another rendition "To You- "Rocketeer" (REMIX) ft. Erin Kim, GOWE, Travis Graham". I like it. I have a thing for great sounding female vocals. It's so pleasantly relaxing to listen to.

Tow truck, towing the tow truck, towing the car...

Lot's of Malaysians have good balance huh.

Why sleep inside, when you can sleep outside...

This is why people buy SMART cars.

Kulula Airlines

Got this in the mail and I thought it was very cheeky. Certainly brightened up my day. *laughs*

Kulula is a low-cost South-African airline that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Check out their new livery!









KULULA.COM- South Africa's Budget Airline

WHAT A PITY KULULA DOESN'T FLY NTERNATIONALLY - WE SHOULD SUPPORT THEM IF ONLY FOR THEIR HUMOUR - SO TYPICALLY SOUTH AFRICAN.

Kulula is an Airline with head office situated in Johannesburg. Kulula airline attendants make an effort to make the in-flight "safety lecture" and announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported:
------------------------------------------------------------------

On a Kulula flight, (there is no assigned seating, you just sit where you want) passengers were apparently having a hard time choosing, when a flight attendant announced, "People, people we're not picking out furniture here, find a seat and get in it!"

---o0o---

On another flight with a very "senior" flight attendant crew, the pilot said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants."

----o0o---

On landing, the stewardess said, "Please be sure to take all of your belongings.. If you're going to leave anything, lease make sure it's something we'd like to have."


----o0o---


"There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane."


---o0o---


"Thank you for flying Kulula. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business
as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."

---o0o---


As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Durban Airport , a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"


---o0o---

After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in the Karoo , a flight attendant on a flight announced, "Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted."


---o0o---

From a Kulula employee: " Welcome aboard Kulula 271 to Port Elizabeth. To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised."

---o0o---

"In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child travelling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are travelling with more than one small child, pick your favourite."

---o0o---

Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but we'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Kulula Airlines."


----o0o---


"Your seats cushions can be used for flotation; and in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments."


---o0o---

"As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses.."


---o0o---


And from the pilot during his welcome message: "Kulula Airlines is pleased to announce that we have some of the best flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!"

---o0o---

Heard on Kulula 255 just after a very hard landing in Cape Town : The flight attendant came on the intercom and said, "That was quite a bump and I know what y'all are thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's fault, it was the asphalt."


---o0o---


Overheard on a Kulula flight into Cape Town , on a particularly windy and bumpy day: During the final approach, the Captain really had to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to The Mother City. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our airplane to the gate!"

---o0o---


Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."


---o0o---

An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a "Thanks for flying our airline. He said that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment.
Finally everyone had gotten off except for a little old lady walking with a cane. She said, "Sir, do you mind if I ask you a question?" "Why, no Ma'am," said the pilot. "What is it?" The little old lady said, "Did we land, or were we shot down?"


---o0o---


After a real crusher of a landing in Johannesburg , the attendant came on with, "Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we will open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal.."


---o0o---


Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today.. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you'll think of Kulula Airways."


---o0o---

Heard on a Kulula flight. "Ladies and gentlemen, if you wish to smoke, the smoking section on this airplane is on the wing.. If you can light 'em, you can smoke 'em."


---o0o---

A plane was taking off from Durban Airport . After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number 293, non-stop from Durban to Cape Town , The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight.. Now sit back and relax... OH, MY GOODNESS!" Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier. While I was talking to you, the flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!"

A passenger then yelled, "That's nothing. You should see the back of mine!"
