Overrated blogging stars

Posted by Cactuus on Apr-20-2008

There are many of them. Everyone and his mother has a blog nowadays. But aren’t we making too much buzz about nothing?

Popular bloggers are soon to be treated as movie stars. But for what? For taking pictures of your restaurant meals and post them up? For writing silly taglines on celebrities faces in Paint and post them up?

That’s not worth a movie star treatment if you ask me.

According to a research done by the Yorkshire Bank, for the past one year, 1.1 million Britons who quit smoking have saved a total amount of £1 billion in cash. One billion! A smoker who goes through 20 cigarettes per day could spend more than £2,000 per year. The smokers would benefit from putting this money into savings or using it to pay off debts and mortgages instead.

Unfortunately any smoker will deny that smoking has got anything to do with their financial problem. But the truth is, it does more damages than just burning your pocket. I have tried to explain this to my mom, but she is one of those smokers that doesn’t want to see the truth about their smoking. It’s quite scary if you ask me!

Big chunk of Antarctic ice shelf falling apart

Posted by Cactuus on Mar-26-2008

It’s a bit scary to think about. That the ice is melting. I hope I die before the world gets flooded.

The collapse of a substantial section of the shelf was triggered February 28 when an iceberg measuring 41 by 2.4 kilometers (25.5 by 1.5 miles) broke off its southwestern front.

That movement led to disintegration of the shelf’s interior, of which 414 square kilometers (160 square miles) have already disappeared, scientists say.

However there are those people who thinks the global warming is just another scary propaganda. What do you think? Did mankind do this to the nature, or did the nature do this all by itself?
