For some 2,000 years, Catholics have believed a white marble sarcophagus under the Basilica of St. Paul's Outside the Walls was the tomb of St. Paul. Seven years ago, archaeologists removed bits of bones for carbon dating.
Based on the result of carbon dating, the fragments of bones from the tomb did indeed date from the first or second century. The Pope has announced: 'This seems to confirm the unanimous and uncontested tradition that the bone fragments are the mortal remains of the Apostle Paul.'
The result means that they are very likely to be the bones of Paul. However, without DNA test, we cannot be 100% sure.

A bear with taste
A bear broke into a San Bernardino County home and gobbled up a box of chocolates from a couple's refrigerator. The couple arrived home Saturday afternoon, found the bear chowing down in their kitchen and phoned for help. The bear fled before sheriff's deputies arrived. Sheriff's Sgt. Tom Alsky says the animal appeared to have pushed aside vegetables in the couple's fridge and gone straight for the two-pound (kilo) box of sweets. He says the bear also tried to open a bottle of champagne but was not successful.
This bear definitely have good taste... chocolates and champagne!! ;)
It's smarter than Winnie the Poor who only eats honey. :P

巾幗梟雄 (Rosy Business)
我已經很久沒有追TVB劇集的衝動啦... 我有看劇集... 不過沒有追...
我聽到好多人講這套劇集... 於是我去看看...
"巾幗梟雄"真的是非常好... 柴九哥... 四奶奶...
我花了3晚看完整套劇集 (25集)... 每晚我也不想睡覺... 想看多幾集...
為什麼這套劇集會那麼好看?
我想這是因為這套劇集有2個很好的演員... "巾幗" 四奶奶 (鄧萃雯) and "梟雄" 柴九 (黎耀祥)...
男主角 "柴九" 係好人性化... 像我們... 不完美...
柴九性格有時自私、小氣、自卑... 但愛恨分明, 有小聰明... 沒有教養，不知什麼是對是錯，但又非大奸大惡... 有不屈不朽的精神... 會有些事令你欣賞，但也有些事令你恨他... 他唯一的夢想係將一車車白米運番去家鄉...
除此之外有聰明既四奶奶... 一切她做的是為其他人，而不是為自己...
柴九與四奶奶關係微妙，互相倚賴... 似乎有又似乎沒有既愛情... 非常複雜...

金句

柴九：
1．人生有幾多個10年呀？最緊要活得痛快！
2．除左四奶奶，蔣家上下全部都係豬兜。
3．我柴九係四奶奶幫既人, 四奶奶叫我行就行, 叫我企就企, 叫我唔好肉麻我就唔肉麻
4．你身上既唔係鎖匙，係大枷鎖，大鎖鏈！
5．我走難果時成日同人打交，打交唔係鬥邊個大隻，係邊個唔怕死，唔怕死就羸。
康寶琦四奶奶：
1．我唔會比全無錫既百姓食貴米。
2．如果柴九死左，我呢世就乜都不做，就是告你呢個殺人凶手。
3．柴九你放心，就算我斬頭，我都會吩咐必正將一車車白米運番去你家鄉。
4．從低做起，副工頭，工頭，四掌櫃，三掌櫃，直到可以一車車白米運番鄉下。
巾幗枭雄主題曲 - 紅蝴蝶 (吳卓羲)
作曲：葉肇中 / 鄧智偉
填詞：陳詩慧
雨水冷洗情不會淡
猛風再吹而不散
愁雲和月之間
也不孤單
妳足以傾城的兩眼
較花與草還璀璨
然而眉目恍惚飄散有一絲慨嘆
＊
流水透徹出我倆
沿路滿佈風霜也雪亮
天空灰暗
愛得到了景仰
＃
世間什麼愛叫純潔
妳甘願化振翅紅蝴蝶
飽經挫折
傷口淌血都不至會磨滅
世間什麼愛叫純潔
處在絕望仍力竭
留守最尾一起哪怕歷劫
舉杯暢飲河邊秀美
奏一闕曲傳千里
斜陽隨著清風
已幽幽泛起
妳的美比繁花更美
我心卻只能希冀
紅蝴蝶漫天飛很美我一生銘記

new Giorgio Armani underwear campaign
David Beckham had launched a new underwear campaign for the Giorgio Armani.
Beckham said he was "proud but a little embarrassed" by the colossal billboard photograph of himself in nothing but a pair of tight, black briefs emblazoned with the Emporio Armani eagle logo, which now looms over London's Oxford Street retail hub.

Yellow lobster
The owner of Arnold's Lobster and Clam Bar in Eastham, Nathan "Nick" Nickerson, received a 7-pound rare orange-and-yellow lobster from a friend.
The yellow lobster, named Fiona, was caught off the coast of Prince Edward Island and it's one in 30 million.
New England Aquarium director of research Michael Tlusty says a rare genetic mutation produces yellow lobsters. Life isn’t easy for such animals. Their bright colors make it easy for predators to spot them.
Nickerson said the human predators at his restaurant will never get Fiona.
Wow! This lobster's colour is just like a cooked lobster. This lobster is even more rare than the blue lobster.

World's smallest microwave
When lining up for a microwave at work, don't you ever wish to have your own microwave?
Heinz is working on a USB beans microwave. This device, called the Beanzawave, is 7.4 inches tall by 6.2 inches wide and 5.9 inches deep. There is also an option of powering it with lithium ion batteries that would make it completely portable.
It is still in the prototyping stage. However, if Heinz decides to release it, it will be pretty expensive... around £100 (approx. Cdn $189).
This device is designed for beans, but the idea is very good. I hope someone will design a USB microwave that is big enough for a lunch box and cheap enough to be under Cdn $50. ;)

晴天Picnic大旅行
Yesterday was Cornerstone Church's 晴天Picnic大旅行 at Morningside Park.
This was a big event at Cornerstone Church, because the last trip that involved the whole church was over 10 years ago.
People from every fellowship went to the picnic:
We had 4 tents/shelters. Not only elderly people from Hebron Fellowship were hiding under the tent, some of the brothers and sisters from Goshen Fellowship were hiding from the sun too. :P
People were splitted up into 8 teams, so each team has people from different fellowships. We played several games before having lunch. The most memorable game was using bed sheet to throw water balloon up and let water balloon land back on the bed sheet. We had to do it 10 times in a roll. It's easy when you have less people, but it's very difficult when you had approx. 20 people and almost 1/2 of them were kids.
We had hamburgers, hot dogs, and watermelon for lunch.
To our surprise, 麥婆婆 made 2 big pots of tofu dessert (豆腐花). Have you ever eaten tofu dessert in a picnic? I haven't. ;-)
When I got my tofu dessert, they ran out of spoons. I had to creatively make a spoon using a plate. ;-) I suddenly realized how useful a spoon is, because it wasn't easy eating tofu dessert using a self-made spoon. Luckily, someone found a bag of spoons somewhere, so I got a spoon to finish the remaining of the dessert. ;-)
The picnic ended around 2pm.

I'll be uploading some photos. Please stay tune for the link to those photos.

Pidgin
A coworker has recently recommended new multi-protocol IM application to me called Pidgin. I was a bit skeptical because I have tried other IM applications that claim to support all chat networks. However, when I use them, they were all disappointments.
According to the Pidgin website, it supports a long list of chat networks (AIM, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, Google Talk, Groupwise, ICQ, IRC, MSN, MySpaceIM, QQ, SILC, SIMPLE, Sametime, XMPP, Yahoo, Zephyr) . It also works on Windows and Linux.
So, I've decided to give it a try.
Now, I've been using it for a week. It's not the greatest and most beautiful IM application out there, but it does the job. The GUI is simple. It is fast. It works well with Yahoo, MSN, and Google Talk. I especially like the fact that it's free and open source. ;)
There are a lot of plugins on the website, but I haven't try any of them. I've only played around with some of the plugins that come with Pidgin but are not enabled by default (e.g. conversation colours, etc.).
The only disadvantages with Pidgin are that it is very hard to change skin/theme and there aren't many theme choices. The main reason being Pidgin uses the GTK+ Toolkit for creating its GUI. Having been using Google Talk (desktop version) for a while, I can live with this simple, ok looking GUI. ;)

I've found a site that tells you how to change the look & feel of Pidgin:
