Fearing that her husband of four years would leave her for a younger woman, Mek Wok Kundor wants to to be married again for the 23rd time. Her current husband is 37 years old. However, he’s in rehab for drug related issues. If he comes out of rehab with another woman, then the centenarian has her eyes set on another man – who is 50 years old. But she hopes that it doesn’t have to come to that.

Other facts:

• Mek Wok Kundor lives in the northern village of the Terengganu state.
• She wants to be married so that she’s not lonely during the month of Ramadan – Muslim’s month of fasting.
• On average, each of her 22 marriages lasts about 4 years.

Her current husband, Mohammed Boor Che Musa, claims that he’s still deeply in love with her and that it’s “God’s Will” that the two are together. However, Wok wants to hear those romantic words directly from Mohammed and is willing to make the trip to Kuala Lumpur, where there rehab center is, to be near her husband – if she could find a ride.

I suggest that she uses this car service:

Cops busting into a Queens apartment expecting to find the remains of dead rotting bodies, but instead found Ming Li Sung living among garbage inside his apartment.

When firefighters busted down the the door, they found tenant Ming Li Sung was very much alive – and living with rotting garbage piled floor to ceiling.

The man was taken to Emhurst Hospital Center for evaluation. The firefighters and the polices who arrived on the scene were also taken in because they couldn’t stand the stench. Several threw up, adding to the smell of the stinky building.

Several tenants moved out of the building because they thought they were living next to the sewer system.

The condition was so bad that dead flies were found along the hallway. If flies couldn’t make it, you would have to wonder what could, according to the Housing Authority.

One of the women living in the building now claim that it’s possible that the stench caused the miscarriage of her twins during her pregnancy.

The list goes on and on…

A giant plant that can gobble up bugs and even rodents has been discovered in Southeast Asia.

The International Screaming Contest in Thailand has been won by Sergey Savelyev from Russia, who squealed at 116.8 decibels, about as loud as an ambulance siren. He did not, however, break the record.

The record is held at 129 decibels, which was reached nine years ago in London. Savelyev said he’d be back to compete next year, stating confidently that, “I was only getting warmed up”. Contestants twist their bodies to get a good scream in.

The Russian walked away with about 30,000 balts ($1,300), and the bragging right of being the loudest person in the room this year. He was one of 11 finalists out of 1,500 contestants.

There are many strategies to scream louder, but here are some that will surely put you on top of the list for next year event.

1. You should know what your voice range is (baritone, tenor, contralto, mezzo soprano, etc). If you don’t already know, then search for info on the different voice ranges. Find an instrument you can sing along to, such as a guitar or piano, find middle C (256 Hz), and figure out what range you fit in to.
2. Warm up. Every good metal screamer does a warm-up at some time of the day before a performance. This is not a screaming warm-up, it’s a singing warm-up. People like Randy Blythe of Lamb of God, Byron Davis of God Forbid, and Phil Labonte of All That Remains, all practice conventional singing warm-up exercises before a performance; the same fundamental exercises that you would do before choir practice. This is very important for your voice so don’t be lazy and skip it. Find a singing warm-up routine, like singing the vowels–Eh, Ee, Ah, Oh, Oo–over a 5-note scale.
3. When you first start learning, you’re going to be making a lot of dodgey noises. Like little cat growls and trying to speak like Marge Simpson. It’s important that you create your scratchy sounds from the nasal region in the back, above your throat, not low in your throat. If you make the sound from low in your throat, you will be teaching yourself to do it wrong and learning a method that will hurt you. Try to feel the difference between the Marge voice and the low-in-the-throat, gargle-like noise. You should be able to create the Marge voice without hurting yourself. Use these two points of reference as you’re learning. Remember to keep your scratchy sounds coming from higher up (the nasal region) so you don’t damage your voice. If you’re doing it wrong, it will hurt like hell. Practice intelligently. You will probably be screaming wrong in the beginning, so save your voice until you figure out how to do it right.
4. Use your diaphragm correctly! Don’t hold the air in your chest! You should breath in and fill your stomach, not your chest.

Due to rampart cheating and corruption in all part of the government, top officials in China decide on another route — by letting children proctor the exams. Why not?

Decked in blue and white school uniforms, the 18 fifth graders monitored the 265 police test-takers who are taking promotion exams.

According to the Liangzhou Discipline Inspection Commission and Organization Department, police officers were allowed to cheat previously by adult supervisors to prevent the officers from causing embarrassment to themselves for not knowing answers. What’s the point of exams if the answers were provided during examination anyway?

So what were the result of this new methodology? Of all the exam takers looking for 66 judge, prosecutor and investigator positions, the students identified 25 alleged cheaters, whose test results were disqualified.

Allowing these students to monitor the exams were supposed to help the Chinese government engage in “openness and transparency” according to the report.

I wonder if these children were being paid to do the job. Maybe this is free labor. The next logical place for these children is to engage themselves in China’s legislative process.
