Boys who 'would get nowhere' doing pretty well:

Quote:One look at the members of the team and the impression one gets is unmistakeable: They look like the kind of people who as kids—like many others in their generation—spent countless hours in front of their TV screens with Playstation controllers in hand playing Final Fantasy or Tekken.

Yes, these were the kids that were told by their parents and teachers that their obsession with video games “would never take them anywhere.”

“But after Wildfire, we saw that we could pursue this seriously,” he says in a recent interview.

Sperm-hunting women sow fear in Zimbabwe
http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/global-filipi...8.facebook

Quote:MASHAVA, Zimbabwe - Susan Dhliwayo was stunned when she pulled her car over recently to pick up a group of male hitchhikers and they refused to get in. The reason? They feared being raped.

Sensational reports of gangs of beautiful women picking up male travellers to have sex and harvest their sperm in condoms have gripped Zimbabwe in a dizzying mix of taboos, rituals and the downright bizarre.

"Now, men fear women. They said: 'we can't go with you because we don't trust you'," 19-year-old Dhliwayo recounted.

Local media have reported victims of the highway prowlers being drugged, subdued at gun or knife point -- even with a live snake in one case -- given a sexual stimulant and forced into repeated sex before being dumped on the roadside.

The sperm hunters first surfaced in the local press in 2009 but police have only arrested three women, found with a plastic bag of 31 used condoms in October. The attacks have continued since they were nabbed for allegedly violating 17 men.

"We do not have the exact number of confirmed cases," said national police spokesman Wayne Bvudzijena.

"These cases occurred mostly when the victims were hitchhiking and boarded private vehicles. We encourage people to use public transport."

The sperm's exact use is not clear but is thought to be intended for "juju" or traditional rituals to bring luck -- anything from enhancing good fortune, boosting business or preventing a criminal from being detected.

It is also not known why the semen is taken forcibly from strangers.

"It's really an issue which is mind boggling," said University of Zimbabwe sociologist Watch Ruparanganda, who believes it is a lucrative business. "It's quite a big mystery. Obviously we know (it is) being used for rituals."

The NHK World news this morning was both funny and sad (for Nokor). Apparently, Japanese sensors showed that the rocket flew for about 1 minute, entered the atmosphere...


...AND BLEW UP INTO FOUR PARTS. It didn't even cross South Korea (crashed in the Yellow Sea) LOL
And then North Korean media reported it locally as a success, that the satellite was in orbit and broadcasting music and information LOL

...Oh and the US and South Korean military were interviewed, they said they were picking up the debris to get knowledge of North Korean "technolology" LOL

The newscaster looked like he was going to LOL at any moment Tongue

Edit: Sadly, I bet some poor scientist is going to be executed for this snafu Sad
