This German tourist wanted to join the First Qin Emperor’s terracotta warriors so badly that he made his own Qin soldier uniform, slipped it on him enthusiastically, jumped into the burial pit, and stood there unmoving for hours.

“As he stayed still and was well camouflaged, a number of tourists and security staff could not even spot him. Even when he was later being approached by the security staff and a translator, he continued to stay still and refused to respond to them. Left with no choice, the security personnel finally lifted the fake terra-cotta warrior out the burial pit.”

I guess this is Germany’s way of “pirating” a Chinese product.

Sometimes, in our relentless efforts to find the

person we love we fail to recognize and appreciate

the people who love us. We miss out on so many

beautiful things and simply because we allow

ourselves to been slaved by our own selfish

concerns.

Go for the man of deeds and not for the man of

words for you will find rewarding happiness not with

the man you love but the man who loves you more.

The best lovers are those who are capable of loving

from a distance, far enough to allow the person to

grow, but never too far to feel the love deep within

your being. To let go of someone doesn’t mean

you have to stop loving, it only means that you

allow that person to find his own HAPPINESS

without expecting him to come back. Letting go is

not just setting the other person free, but it is also

setting yourself free from all fears, bitterness,

hatred, and anger that you keep in your heart.

 

 Do not let the bitterness rare away your strength

and weaken your faith, and never allow pain to

dishearten you, but rather let you grow with

wisdom in bearing it. You may have found peace in

just loving someone from a distance not expecting

anything in return. But be careful, for this can

sustain life but can never give enough room for us

to grow.

We can all survive with just beautiful memories of

the past but real peace and happiness come only

with open acceptance of what reality is today.

There comes a time in our lives when we chance

upon someone so nice and we just find ourselves

getting so intensely attracted to that person. This

feeling soon become a part of our everyday lives

and eventually consumes our thoughts and actions.

 

The sad part of it is when we begin to realize that

this person feels nothing more for us than just

friendship, or the feelings he might have for us is

just too far from how you love him. We start our

desperate attempt to get noticed and be closer but

in the end our efforts are still un-rewarded and we

end up being sorry for ourselves.

 

 You don’t have to be bitter on love. What you need

to learn is how to accept the verdict of reality

without being bitter or sorry for yourself Believe

me, you would be better off giving that dedication

and love someone more deserving. Don’t let your

heart run your life, be sensible and let your mind

speak for itself. Listen not only to your feelings but

also to reason as well. Always remember that if

you lose someone today, it means that someone

better is coming tomorrow: If you lose love it

doesn’t mean that you failed in love. Cry if you

have to, but make it sure that the tears wash away

the hurt and the bitterness that the past has left

with you.

 

 Let go of yesterday and love will find its way back

to you. And when it does, pray that it may be the

love that will stay and last a lifetime.

 

"When you lose someone… and you think you

were the one who loved most, between the two of

you… he lost more. For someday you can love

someone the way that you loved him…But he will

never be loved again the way you did."

 

As if looking at your hair’s horribly tangled mess is not enough, Japan’s Kao Corporation’s smart hairbrush further rubs it in by letting you rate a “bad hair day” on a scale of 1 to 10.

The hairbrush analyzes the damage caused by hair treatments such as hair dyes and bleaches by “listening” to the sound as hair is brushed.

“To make the brush, an aluminium bar a few micrometers long is polished and sandblasted and then buried amongst the prongs of the brush. A microphone attached to the bar then picks up vibrations as hair is dragged over the bar. A built-in strain gauge also records the resistance caused by brushing".

A USB connection feeds these measurements to a PC which compares the sound and the pulling strain. Tests carried out in a Tokyo hair salon showed that hair in good condition makes far less noise than dirty hair with split ends. Loud sound at high frequencies also indicates too much bleaching, the inventors say. The brush could help hairdressers work out the appropriate treatment for a person in their care.”

This carrot looks like a child’s foot, which freaked out the 60-year-old guy who had bought it at a local market in China. Another case of Chinese “piracy,’ this time “perpetrated” by vegetables. If there’s anybody out there who knows of a child’s foot that looks like a carrot, you know where to go.
