Interesting!

This is really interesting!
A house burglar in the U.K. was caught after a webcam on the owner’s computer recorded images of him carrying out the raid. [news clip]

A home computer has been given the credit for putting a 19-year-old serial burglar behind bars.
Stills of serial raider Benjamin Park, 19, of Cambridge, were sent to an email address so even when he stole the computer, the images could be found.

The burglary – in pictures
And here is a comment from the police:

“It was a pleasure to show him the pictures and see his expression when we interviewed him.”

What is amazing about the incident is that the computer emailed the images even as it was being stolen!

While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
Now, while doing this, draw the number “6” in the air with your right hand.
Your foot will change direction and there’s nothing you can do about it!

I was reading an article from Wired and I came across a sentence which mentioned that chewing gum is banned in Singapore. I was really surprised to know about this.
I then googled a bit and found out that this is actually true. In Singapore, the import, sale and possession of chewing gum is banned! [link]
Searched a bit more, and it seems that in 2002, the ban was partially lifted to allow sale of sugarless chewing gum for medical purposes.
“The import, manufacture and sale of chewing gum has been banned in Singapore since 1992, and the penalty for smuggling gum into the country is a year in jail, and a 10,000 Singapore dollar- ($5,500-) fine.”
Wierd, Huh?
