Sex frogs

cjtune — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 22:54:27 +0800

A blonde goes to her local pet store in search of an 'exotic' pet. As she looks about the store, she notices a box FULL of frogs.

The sign says:
'SEX FROGS'
Only $2 each!
Comes with 'complete' instructions.

The girl excitedly looks around to see if anybody's watching her. She whispers softly to the man behind the counter, 'I'll TAKE one!' As the man packs the frog, he quietly says to her, 'Just follow the instructions! ' The blonde nods, grabs the box, and is quickly on her way home.

As soon as she closes the door to her apartment, she opens the instructions and reads them very carefully.
She does EXACTLY as specified:

1. Take a shower.
2. Splash on some nice perf ume.
3. Slip into a very sexy night dress.
4. Crawl into bed and place the frog down beside you, and allow the frog to do what he has been trained to do.

She then quickly gets into bed with the frog and to her surprise . . . NOTHING happens! The blonde is very disappointed and quite upset at this point. She re-reads the instructions and notices at the bottom of the paper it says, 'If you have any problems or questions . please call the pet store.' So, she calls the pet store.

The man says, 'I'll be right over.' Within minutes, the man is ringing her doorbell. The blonde welcomes him in and says, 'See, I've done everything according to the instructions. The damn frog just SITS there!'

The man . . . looking very concerned, picks up the frog, stares 'directly into its eyes' and STERNLY says:

'LISTEN TO ME!! I'm only going to show you how to do this ONE ... MORE ... TIME!!!'

Laptop brand market share

cjtune — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 14:19:17 +0800

This is help find out which of the major laptop makers have more reliable products, when combined with results from the WORST LAPTOP BRAND poll in this forum.

Basically, if everyone had same failure rates, then let's say between brands A:B:C, the proportion of ownership here would be the sameas the proportion of reported failures in the WORST LAPTOP BRAND poll. So for example, say 4:5:1 people own Acer, Asus, and Toshiba laptops, but yet the reported failures are 3:3:6, then there is something not right about Toshiba laptops.

Vote for the laptop brand you currently own, whether still functioning fine or not.

Some useful tips against being cheated

Well, not really talking about photographic equipment but the con tactics mentioned in the link below can also be heeded when buying camera stuff:

Personally, I think here are one too many Ah Beng or conjobs behind the store counter in shops in S'pore (not just camera or IT shops). Do your homework (ie. price, features, and kit bundles comparison) before you set out to buy something, do not succumb to impulsive buying, try to not tie yourself with 'booking' deposit fees, and assume most freebies are garbage the proprietors couldn't sell the last sales season...

String 'tripod'

Someone try this and tell me if works in giving your that 1 or maybe 2 stops of extra usable shutter speed:

Watch out for the elastic spring snapping up and whacking your face if you don't step on it securely!

SLR mirror delamination warning

I didn't know the reflex mirrors were so fragile.. SLR owners take notice and just stick to the blowers and/or Lenspen when cleaning the mirror or CCD.
