The 9 Most Annoying People on Facebook!

Got this from YJ. I believe all Facebook avid user would agree with this. Although the language is not my kind, but well, you got the point.

Every great invention had to be used wisely.

Shark Fin

Bentuckee's note:

Wow... shark fin soup!! Awesome. One of my favourite dishes. It's just a dish that we always wait for in chinese wedding dinner and something the upper class enjoys. But a lot of us, including me, never know how these sharp fins actually got on our bowl. Check out the following pics:

But what's actually so nice about shark fin soup? Or shark fin dish that you think it worths the sacrifice of the whole shark? I don't think it's a wise thing to kill the whole shark just to get its fins. There's no great logic behind this. Well, at least I don't know.

I would definitely avoid ordering shark fin soup next time. How about you?

Vatican Humour

Bentuckee's note: I'm in no interest to offend the Pope or any people in this post. But this is just a good joke that I wanna share it right here. Enjoy! =)

After getting all of Pope Benedict's luggage loaded into the limo, (and he doesn't travel light), the driver notices the Pope is still standing on the curb.

'Excuse me, Your Holiness,' says the driver,

'Would you please take your seat so we can leave?'

'Well, to tell you the truth,' says the Pope,  'they never let me drive at the Vatican when I was a cardinal, and I'd really like to drive today.'

'I'm sorry, Your Holiness, but I cannot let you do that. I'd lose my job! What if something should happen?' protests the driver, wishing he'd never gone to work that morning..

'Who's going to tell?' says the Pope with a smile.

Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in behind the wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting the airport, the Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 205 kph.. (Remember, the Pope is German..)

'Please slow down, Your Holiness!' pleads the worried driver, but the Pope keeps the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens.

'Oh, dear God, I'm going to lose my license -- and my job!' moans the driver.

The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the cop approaches, but the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and gets on the radio.

'I need to talk to the Chief,' he says to the dispatcher.

The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that he's stopped a limo going 205 kph.

'So bust him,' says the Chief.

'I don't think we want to do that, he's really important,' said the cop.

The Chief exclaimed,' All the more reason!'

'No, I mean really important,' said the cop with a bit of persistence.

The Chief then asked, 'Who do you have there, the mayor?'

Cop: 'Bigger.'

Chief: ' A senator?'

Cop: 'Bigger.'

Chief: 'The Prime Minister?'

Cop: 'Bigger.'

'Well,' said the Chief, 'who is it?'

Cop: 'I think it's God!'

The Chief is even more puzzled and curious, 'What makes you think it's God?'

Cop: 'His chauffeur is the Pope!'

Cherokee Legend

Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage?

His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it.  He cannot cry out for help to anyone. 

Once he survives the night, he is a MAN.

He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own.

The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some human might do him
harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could  become a man!
Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold.

 It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.   
He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm.

We, too, are never alone.   
Even when we don't know it, God is watching over us, sitting on the stump beside us.   
When trouble comes, all we have to do is reach out to Him.

Moral of the story:
Just because you can't see God,
Doesn't mean He is not there.
"For we walk by faith, not by sight."

The Atlantis: Greatest 'Fire'works in the History

Bentuckee's note:
Yeah, I know this had happened some time ago..  but I didn't know that the Atlantis was on FIRE before its opening until I got these pictures. And I believe everyone remembers how amazing the opening ceremony was.. yeah, the FIREworks. Oh, and I heard that a lot of staffs in the hotel got FIRED soon after its opening due to financial incapability.Seems like the Atlantis had much fate FIRE.
