Purified urine

I remember one time there were two brothers in china who had been buried under a collapsed building, (or was it a mine? anyway) for several days but they survived. With no food all they got was their urine. We are humans, we strive to survive in whatever way, and they did the noblest thing no matter how you imagine it. But this time, according to the news I read, it is not just for people buried underground without food and water, and for NASA astronauts too! Astronauts would have to have a communal drinking water supply from their own urine, but of course, it is purified.

Tape drives and repair

When everything fails in a sudden the first thing that we can ask is the backup, if we have one. That is why it is important to back up our files regularly. Imagine the number of hours and effort to reproduce the same files again; it is just devastating. I was looking into Minnesota computers for tape drives and other backup systems. I also discovered that they also repair jobs for our tape drives. When you are in that situation, remember Minnesota computers.

Too fat for cell

Canadian prisoner was too fat for cell, so he was released early. The question is, “how small is the cell?” Michel Lapointe — known as Big Mike, weighs 205 kg, and has six inches extra on each side of the prison chair assigned to him. Deeming the prison is not good for his health Canadian authorities were forced to release him. According to him, he had paid already for the stupid things he had done, and that was equivalent of 25 months in a small cell and chair.

Stolen church

It is bad news everywhere to the point we are used to them. But I am still ‘shocked’ at some people’s way in this world. They steal whatever, but a Church building? This was in Russia. An Orthodox Church disappeared after being dismantled brick by brick by thieves, and sold them for 4 cents a piece. Well in a such place… but still, they would have to go through so much effort destroying a building for its brick for so cheap a price, and for the sake that it is a church..
