Whatcha Drinkin?

So you're at a bar trying to order drinks and sometimes you're not too sure whether you want vodka or rum or even tequila. Stunna Ultra Premium Liqueur combines all three of these along with other spirits so you don't have to get confuse what to order anymore. To drink this, you don't even have to mix it with anything else, just serve it on the rocks.
I wonder how's the hangover gonna be like.

Disclaimer: No, Stunna does not pay me to advertise this. I just thought their product has an interesting concept hence why I post it.

What's Your Web Browser?

I have four web browsers (IE8, Chrome, Opera, and FireFox) and I still weigh-in the pros and cons to use just one browser. I don't use Safari, because it's kind of too simple.

I mostly use Internet Explorer (and it's my default browser still) although it's the most sluggish among the four, to me, it has the nicest interface. I like IE's tabs, Google Toolbar integration make it easier to get images or finance quotes, web accelerators, and also somehow my anti virus (Mcafee) would tell me whether a site would likely give me viruses or not. It crash every now and then, but it usually restore the web that crashes quite nicely.

I don't like Firefox one bit. Most people use Firefox because their friends recommend it to them, because it's simply "better" than IE without knowing why it's better. It's a great open source browser where you can add a bunch of stuff into it (although I know a lot of people who don't know about this feature). The bad thing about Firefox is it takes a lot of your computer's memory, slowing you down if you're working on other things.

I love everything about chrome, but one thing: Chrome shares whatever you browse (EVERYTHING) on the internet with Google. Google know all about your likes and dislikes, banking info, facebook stuff, your online purchases, porn fetishes, etc. Sucks how they'd probably use all these data to "exploit" you somehow. Everything else is good. The user interface is very simple, making it browse whatever you wanna browse really quick. It's also an open source program, so you can add a bunch of stuff to enhance your browsing experience.

Opera is pretty much like Chrome in terms of speed (maybe a little faster) and basic interface. It doesn't share any of my browsing history with Google. Sounds great? Yes. However, for some reason it crash/not responding quite a bit for me. Opera is also an open source program, but I couldn't really find any good add-ons/gadgets/apps like the ones I got for my Chrome.

What web browser do you use and why do you like it?

How Do People Urinate/Crap in Outer Space?

I never actually thought of this myself, but according to NASA people ask them a lot about how people do their biz in outer space. Well, they (NASA) produced a legit instructional video on how people urinate/crap in outter space, so you don't have to wonder anymore.

The Dog That Hasn't Missed A Single Riot For Years

Check out this-->link and then read what I think:

Back in university, I know like 20 hippies who always protest everything; starting from lowering tuition fee, not wanting to see corporations to fund the university, increasing T.A.'s wages (how do you expect to get a raise when you want to lower the university income?!), end Israeli apartheid stuff, to China/Tibet dispute, to Thailand's issue. Yes, I always see the exact same faces in the photo in the campus newspaper.

After seeing all the photos of this dog from all the Greece riots, I am now convinced that most protests and riots (that resulted from their protests) are run by the same people. This dog must belong to someone who organize this protest, can't be just a random stray dog that always appear in protests.

So yes, I'm convinced that protests&riots are always started by the same people in that region who got nothing better to do than to protest, based on my two examples above. Well, I actually have one more example, but I don't feel like typing anymore...

Drafted.ca Skill Testing Questions

I think I'm going to do a live audition for Gillette Drafted search for Canada's next Sportcaster. On their page, they have some skill-testing questions that I think I could share with you guys:

Name 3 Sports Franchise in North America that you think are models for how teams should be run:
1. Tampa Bay Rays
2. San Antonio Spurs
3. Chicago Black Hawks


Who, in your opinion, are the most influential athlete in sports?
1. Ronaldinho
2. Michael Jordan
3. Tiger Woods


Name 2 athletes, not currently household names, that could one day become superstars:
1. Bryce Harper (Baseball)
2. Anthony Kim (Golf)


If you could follow only 1 athlete or sports personality on Twitter who would it be and why?
This is a very tough question, but I think I'm gonna have to go with CJ Wilson of the Texas Ranger, because he actually interact with his fans and post a lot of interesting stuff other than just baseball.
Other players/personalities I'd consider: Steve Nash, Ian Poulter, Cabbie, Darren Rovell, Arash Markazi, Tas Melas/ JE Skeets, SportsUnicorn, and Tim Micallef


In your fantasy draft (any sport), who would be your last draft choice and why?
Ricky Romero. People often forget about him and he's buried down under (He was rank 532 in Yahoo O-Rank), but as a good Blue Jays fan, you know Ricky Romero is a much better pitcher than what non-Jays fans ever projected.

Thoughts? Let me know your answers to these questions too!
