Mating Lizards Bring Bad Luck For Samak?

Two monitor lizards seen mating Tuesday behind Thailand's government headquarters turned into a hot news item for the national press, given the inauspiciousness of the act on the eve of the birth of the country's new cabinet. The reptiles were spotted fornicating in a pond behind the Thai Kufah Building, attracting hordes of photographers and television cameramen stationed at the Government House compound in Bangkok, where the prime minister and other cabinet ministers keep their offices, the Phuchadkarn online news service said.

According to Thai belief, the arrival of a monitor lizard to one's home or office augurs bad luck. Mating monitor lizards at Government House, therefore, might bode ill for the next government, or that was the speculation making the rounds.

Thailand's new cabinet is to be endorsed Wednesday, according to newly elected Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej, who has spent the past week coupling together a cabinet lineup with ministers from six political parties. [via Earthtimes.org]

  • Migrate All Your Old Gmail to a New Gmail Address [How To]

pop-mail.png

The email address you chose when signing up for Gmail seemed completely hilarious when you first signed up, but after a year of sending resumes to employers from strangelove45@gmail.com, you may be reconsidering your choice. Luckily with Gmail's easy-to-use Mail Fetcher feature and POP3 access, you can easily import all of your old emails to your new, respectable Gmail address with a few very simple steps. Here's how it works:

02_enable-for-all-mail.png

First, login to your old account and go to Settings -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP. In the POP Download section choose to enable POP for all mail and then save your changes.

After you do that, you'll have a new option in the POP Download section to Enable POP for all mail. Since you want to import every piece of mail into your new account, you want to select this option and again save your changes.

Now it's time to import all of those messages into your new email account. Log out of your old account and then log in to your new Gmail account. This time go to Settings -> Accounts. In the Get mail from other accounts section, click on Add another mail account. Just step through the setup (the screenshot above is actually importing from my Google Apps Lifehacker Gmail account, but the settings are basically the same for a regular Gmail import) and you're done. Now it's just a matter of waiting. Gmail will use the POP access you set up on your old account to download every single message in your old account to your new one. When it's done, all your old emails will be instantly searchable from your new, non-lame email address. If you ever get wistful for your old account, you can always associate that address with your new one and send email from it whenever you want.

Once the initial POP import completes, you may want to consider heading back to your old account and disabling the POP access in favor of turning on forwarding of all new mail, also available in the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab of the settings. This will ensure that all new mail sent to your old address will get there as soon as it's received. [via Lifehacker]

  • Gemma's starting to ship on the pounds. She'll be a real little porker in a few years time. At school, I had a pal who was told by his Granddad that girls with fat ankles always grow up to be porkers. By the look of the lads Grandma, his Granddad only learnt of this fact after the event. The tip works, honest, just not with Thai girls.
























  • Valentine's Day on Feb 14th but what about the men?

Every 14th of February you get the chance to display your fondness for your wife or girlfriend by showering her with gifts, flowers, dinner, shows and any other baubles that women find romantic.

Secretly...guys feel left out. That's right...left out. There's no special holiday for the ladies to show their appreciation for the men in their life. Men as a whole are either too proud or just too embarrassed to admit it. This is why a new holiday has been created.

March 20th is now officially 'Steak, Blow Job & Shut The Fuck Up Day.' Simple, effective and self-explanatory...this holiday has been created so you ladies can have a day to show your man just how much you love him.

No cards, no flowers, no special nights on the town the name of the holiday explains it all...just a steak, a BJ & shut your mouth for the rest of the day! That's it!

This twin pairing of Valentine's Day and Steak, Blow Job & Shut The Fuck Up Day will usher in a new age of love as men everywhere will try THAT much harder in February to ensure a more memorable March! It's like a perpetual love machine.

The word is already spreading, but as with any new idea, it needs a little push to start the ball rolling.

So spread the word, and help bring love and peace to this crazy world.
