Funny Things

First and foremost, the funniest MSN Messenger avatar quote this week from my friend Naj:

"To the person who drank my strawberry milkshake - I will hunt you down and inflict upon you a thousand years of pain..."

Funny because:

1) Naj the short and boney dude is trying hard to sound threatening. (Crowd goes "Woooooo...)
2) Naj, you're so gay... You drink strawberry milkshakes!

Just read this article where the crown prince of Saudi Arabia bought the champion of a camel beauty pagent for millions of dollars.

I can't decide which is funnier:

1) The fact that he wasted millions of dollars buying a single camel (maybe it got nice "humps", eh? get it? "humps"... ^^"

OR

2) The fact that there is bloody camel beauty pagent! WTF!

What has the world come to?

tess: hahaha... i will get told off that i'm not using a strict academic primary source... maybe i can lie...

LIKE THIS:

"Ancient historian Xiao Tess living in 247BC ancient China whom wrote "The Annals of Qinshi Huangdi" quoted, translated by Professor Chong of the University of Manchester; that the manufacturing process of the terracotta warriors invloved complex procedures relating to the use of high starch content substance to bind these [clay figurines] together..."1

1 For more information, see Tess, Xiao "The Annals of Qin Shi Huangdi - Vol. II", p. 597.
