I’m fascinated by new stories such as this one. A California care centre for seniors is being sued for negligence. The suit claims that the centre allowed a rat to enter the mouth of a 90 year-old senior, whereupon the rat died. Apparently, this centre has been in trouble in the recent past as well. … Continue reading LIKE WANG FLIES
Though it is nearly a year old, I only found this article on the weekend. Last year, a 14 year old boy in India had a small fish enter his penis via his urethra.

At around 8pm, I crawled into bed and took what turned out to be a two-hour nap. It’s now well after midnight and I am super refreshed and awake. I also feel quite mentally sharp as well. For someone who normally struggles to fall asleep under regular circumstances, it will be an even tougher endeavour … Continue reading THAT WAS DUMB
With the warm weather finally arriving in Vancouver, I was able to leave my abode without pants on the long weekend. It didn’t take me long for me to get taken advantage of. I vaguely remember seeing some sort of insect on the inside of my left ankle. I brushed it off and didn’t think … Continue reading WHAT BIT ME?

I’ve tried to stop posting such links now because I prefer to write my own original content. This evening … Continue reading BAD… JUST SO BAD

So out of Indiana comes this story of an elderly woman who was admitted to hospital from a care home. Doctors and nurses found sores on the woman’s body, which is not uncommon since many … Continue reading ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT
I mentioned it in previous posts before but I’ll write it again. I rarely make posts based on politics because I feel I don’t have the requisite knowledge to write a thoughtful essay. That doesn’t stop me from reporting about wang flies but that’s different topic altogether. Anyways, the midterm elections are coming up in … Continue reading NOT THIS CRAP AGAIN
From what I see on the server logs, there’s a fair amount of visitors who come to this site daily, looking for whatever string of words I’ve managed to bash out on the keyboard. Because of the frequency of visits from some readers, I do my best to post at least once a day. Though … Continue reading BEHIND THE SCENES
