Fooling someone as if he was in a woman’s body!?

|

This is really freakishly weirdly amazing…

Some Swedish researchers were able to create an illusion that makes men think they’re in a woman’s body and the way around…

They achieved such thing by placing some circuits over some fake models that and some cameras on the model’s eyes and connecting them somehow to the person’s body (by placing feelers to their body so if the models got touched, the feelers will feedback almost the same feeling… Well, more or less)…

But illusion can go only this far… As in you can’t fool a human to think he’s a box!! (He might if you slipped some caffeine pills or whatever :P)… Which floats a weird question; Would he believe he’s a guerrilla? :P

The good thing is, this might let cross-dressers think of using such think instead of wearing woman stuff and wander off in public disgusting others…

The bad thing is, things could go wrong and girls into guys and guys into girls!! (Which this woul be the only use for such thing here in Kuwait… And for the laughs and kicks :P)…

This would decrease the amount of cross-dressers and increase the amount of both (fe)male gayness here in Kuwait :P

But seriously… The concept is surprising and I think it’s original and new… I could be wrong though…

Face recognition is not enough to identify the user!?

|

I really laughed at how they bypassed such thing…

According to the Vietnamese Internetwork Security Center BKIS, they were able to bypass the face recognition authentication thingy with a funny method.

To summerize the whole thing (ofcourse I’ll provide the source link), it’ll be something like this:

1- Log in with your face picture
2- Talk to someone (who wants to steal your authentication) over MSN Messenger or whatever and open your webcam to him\her\it
3- That someone will take a picture of you using your webcam
4- That someone will print that picture and use it as your face to log in

As simple and funny as that :P… Even though it might be harder to actually fill in their place with such thing, but I really laughed at the picture above… Reminds me of Team Fortress 2’s spy :P

That feature is provided in some Lenovo, Toshiba and Asus laptops…

Britney Spears is more famous than Barack Obama!?

|

This should draw a smile in my friend’s face (He’s a Britney addict for some reason)

According to Yahoo, Barack Obama holds the 3rd place in their search after WWE in 2nd and Britney Spears besting the results (Naruto on 7th… I bet its because of Kuwaiti Anime Fan wannabies who just started watching Naruto, Bleach and Death Note :P)…

I’ll leave the BBC Link to read more details about such thing :P

FREE DR PEPPER!!!

|

I actually thought that someone is demanding a doctor called “Pepper” to be freed from being a hostage or prisoned or something…

This is not related to the article... Just a funny picture that I think it might fit

I passed by my iGoogle to see some urban legends. And clicked on the “Free Dr Pepper” headline and laughed after clicking it…

Apparently, DrPepper guys made a bet that Guns’n'Roses wouldn’t release their album by 2008 (after ofcourse more than 10 years of making) and if they did, they’ll give away free drinks…

Well, they did… And now they’ll have to giveaway free DrPepper drinks :P

Bad thing its only in the United States… I wonder if something similar would happen here in Kuwait… I’m imagining right now KDD is betting if the economic crisis would end in 2008 and things turn out like DrPepper and Guns’n'Roses :P

Santa shortage in Berlin!?

|

Germany has interesting news… Specially odd ones :P

OK… Two pictures isn’t something I’d do usually (Unless they’re pictures I’ve taken)… But I couldn’t stop laughing at these two pictures… Specially the first one :P

Anyways, A German leading job agency is recruiting Santas to help taking in traditional festivals to cut financial crisis and Germany is running outta Santa…

As the guy in charge of Santa Claus recruitment said, it’s hard to be Santa… Not alot of people can be good fathers Christmas… And Santa can’t drive to work since kids believe he arrives with a reindeer sleigh and it’ll be annoying to disappoint a kid :P

Santas can make up to 60 euros an hour (around 21KD)… I’d actually take the job if I was there (But I’ll have hard time being accepted since I’m thin… Though my fat-ass would help :P)

What does it take to be a Santa (And I mean by looks)? Fluffy white beard? Chubby body? Cheerful?

We won’t face such shortage since we have alot of’em here in Kuwait… Just hire’em (They’d kill for money :P) and help us get rid of some people to decrease the traffic and other stuff :P (Just kidding)…

Pandas are dangerous!!!

|

Don’t you EVER think that pandas are cuddlable… They bite when they get freeked out (Just like someone I know… And unfortunately myself :P)

Some chinese guy snuck into a panda named “Yangyang” in some zoo in Beijin…

The guy couldn’t stand staring at the panda without the desire of cuddling it… So the guy just jumped off the fence and went to cuddle… But Yangyang was so scared that bit the guy’s arms’n'legs…

Now what we learn from this kids?
1) Don’t be another “Steve Irwin”… He died trying to play with a fish that got scared and stabbed him with its tail or something… Who knows maybe pandas will kick your ass Kung Fu style… We’ve seen the Kung Fu Panda and how he kicks ass (Well, I haven’t… yet… Though I will soon)…
2) Stuffed pandas might be dangerous as well… Who knows, they could draw a gun and shoot the hell outta ya!!… Or this could be just my wild childish imagination :P

Urine Recycler has glitches! LOL!

|

Thats what happens when you try recycling weird stuff :P

I pity the space staff :P

NASA developed this $250 million urine and wastewater recycling system that recycles what I mentioned to drinkable water…

It’s an expected event since building things on ground (No matter how good it runs) will differ from space ue to gravity issues and whatever other factors… So they’ll be fixing it soon hopefully…

On the other hand, WHO’D LIKE TO DRINK WHAT HE\SHE\IT PISSED!? I’d rather drink brake fluid than recycled piss!!!

I know its hard to transport water from earth to that International Space Station, but COME ON!!!

The only good use to such thing is to water plants, wash the spaceship’s interior (Which I still doubt its a good thing) and exterior (I just had a weird image of someone washing the Space Station like washing a car :P) and maybe wash some equipments… But not to drink, wash plates and food-related stuff, wash clothes and showering and baths!!!

Thats why I always call those who goes up there “AstroNUTS!!!”…

I’m sorry fellows, I totally don’t look down at your career since you wouldn’t be out there unless you’re scientists an know stuff that my idiot mind wouldn’t be able to process and you’re trying tp minimize consumption as much as possible, but thats a bad move…

In the end… It’s just my idiotic opinion… I’m sure I’m %0~%50 right…

Running from jail Metal Gear Solid style!!!

|

I actually imagined few whole scenes made of that with different variations (Kuwaiti, German [Our subject today], Indian, American, Geeky, LOLCat and others that I’ll imagine later on):P

A 37-years-old Turkish drug dealer sentenced for 7 years and to be released in 2011, escaped from Whillich prison (Germany)…

He was hiding in a cardboard box that’s supposed to be picked up by a recycling truck… Good thing we don’t have much recycling thingies here in Kuwait.

Seems like that Turkish man is a Metal Gear Solid addict :P

Now back to my imagination… *I think I should comic it or something*

Bra for boys!?

|

This is disgustingly SICK!!! Though I wouldn’t be surprised it’ll be a BIG HIT if that happened in Kuwait… And chaotic too!

I’m writing this with the feeling of being visually violated…

Some lingerie shop in Japan is offering $30 bras for cross-dressers (Noting that cross-dressers aren’t transexuals… They’re just curious men discovering their inner woman)… The worst part is, they sold more than 300 pieces and now working on men-stocking!!!!

Now don’t be surprised if you saw a hairy fat bastard wearing A BRA and FEMININE STUFF walking down the stairs with a lame excuse such as “That’s a Japanese fashion”!!!

That’s what you get from trying to equalize two totally-non-similar-genders… Along with Kuwaiti female cops (It could be hot though :P)…

Thank you Japan… You always float weird stuff to the surface *throwing up*
