Baby Given 25 Middle Names - All Boxers

Monday, September 17th, 2007

A mother has given her new baby daughter 25 middle names - all famous boxers. Her full name is: Autumn Sullivan Corbett Fitzsimmons Jeffries Hart Burns Johnson Willard Dempsey Tunney Schmeling Sharkey Carnera Baer Braddock Louis Charles Walcott Marciano Patterson Johansson Liston Clay Frazier Foreman Brown.

The child’s mother said she gave them all those names because her parents “are obsessed with boxing and have a bit of a daft sense of humour”.

Pity her when filling any form. Hopefully, when she grow up, all forms can be filled online so that she can use form auto-fill feature.

Not The World’s Shortest International Bridge

Monday, September 17th, 2007

Zavikon

This is the so called shortest international bridge in the world. Located at Thousands Islands, Canada. The main/bigger island called Zavicon. The smaller island contains the backyard of the house on the larger island. The myth is that the bigger island is in Canada while the smaller one is in the US. It is disputed in wikipedia where it state both islands are actually in Canada. Proof after the jump.

Proton Day: Proton Persona Envy, Gen 2 CPS

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

Persona Envy

Unlike other products from Proton Design, which are not many, Neo Symphony and Neo Desire, Envy does not get much attention it deserved. It’s shadowed by the Proton Persona in the original form itself, with a lot of improvement over its hatchback sibling, gen.2 and other models, there’s too much to talk about. Maybe. I first heard about Proton Persona Envy in one forum which I can’t remember, with only one picture attached. It looked so good that make me want to see by myself. That was about two weeks ago. Only today I had the chance to go to Proton COE (Center of Excellence) and witness the beauty by my own eyes. Sadly, I forgot to bring the camera along, so the pictures below taken using my camera phone only. Persona Envy just a concept to show how you can turn your Persona into nice and unique Proton car. However, this could be the only one Persona Envy that Proton ever built, but the idea is just to show how big the potential is. The thing with Proton is, they seldom market what they can sell. Of course they are not selling the envy, but for sure ah-beng out there will drool over Persona when they see Envy. One way of selling as well. At the parking lot, there’s few Limited Edition Savvy and Neo as well, ever heard about it? I bet you not.

The LED rear light. When asked the sales person about the availability of the lights to public, she answered me this, “No, we don’t have that in any model, You just have to go to Brothers shop. It cost about RM1,000.00 per pair”, which made me wonder, did Proton Design bought there as well? I didn’t asked the lady though.

How to DIY Car Spoiler, For You Brand New Persona Perhaps?

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

This maybe funny for some and maybe flame for the others, especially a group often called ah-beng here in Malaysia. Car modification can be very expensive, depending on how far you go. Cosmetics modification on the exterior alone can cost about RM1,500.00 with the paint. That’s depend on the material and design use as well. I’m not making fun of anyone here, I personally want to modify my car, aesthetic and performance, only that I can’t afford it :-(
