Shahrus LOL! Send a thousand fleas to my assistant who spends more time NOT doing his job, than doing it! Leaving me with more work than I already do! I'm working on having him fired... I'm also wondering which idiot in the HR department he must have slept...

I have been to Cozumel, Puerto Rico, and Fiji. I would like to travel to Fiji or Hawaii. What would you suggest? Give me some of your experiences traveling to tropical places.

Shahrus Cozumel and Puerto Rico are lovely, but there are far too many people there, especially at the beaches. Same with those at Mazatlan. My gripe with Puerto Rico is that there are far too many muggers there. Nearly got mugged at the beach, while in my swimming...

Some may recall that a couple of weeks ago my son had an encounter with a smelly green bug landing on his chicken. This is of a similiar nature but not the same. Also it may not be controvesial as the beetle wasn't...

Shahrus Glutinous rice wrapped in banana leaves, seasoned with red ants. It's a Malaysian delicacy I tried, all unknowing. I thought the fried red things were chili peppers. Crunchy, tangy chili peppers. I was most unhappy when I found out otherwise. Another...

Apparently a study was done which showed that people who are not pshychopaths will not discover the correct answer to this question. If you have phsychopathic tendencies or are a indeed a physchopath you will know the answer. This...

Shahrus maximax8, this has been going on for some time now. My parents live in Mallorca, which is above Africa, and I've seen it first hand a number of times: Small boats loaded with people from the African continent trying to sneak into Spanish territory. On...

Some may like them, some detest them, there seems to be no middle ground with olives. There are two kinds, olives for oil and olives for eating, but did you know that an eating olive directly from the tree is inedible? It takes 40...

Shahrus Camphor in its edible form is used as both a medicine, as well as a spice, to add some heat to the food, as well as an intense minty flavor without the bite chili peppers provide. As a medicine taken internally, it helps with asthma and fever, and helps...

Shahrus I love nata de coco! It's not only healthy, but has some interesting technology (for microchips and acoustic plates) and medical applications (for burn victims), as well. Sadly, though a Filipino invention, Indonesia is now the leading producer, followed...

Shahrus I love olives! As to other foods that need to be processed before being edible (to humans), 5 come to mind: 1) sabah: a kind of super starcy banana that can be eaten in any variety of ways, as either a fruit or a vegetable. The only way sabah can NOT be...

Shahrus My first reaction would be to find out if we spoke a common language. Assuming we did, I would then interview them about their physical health, history, qualifications, skill level, etc. I would then threaten to report them to the authorities unless they...
