These adorable images reveal the close bond that has formed between a two-year-old chimpanzee called Do Do and a two-month-old tiger cub called Aorn. Scroll down to see a video of the chimp and tiger cub playing together Maternal instinct: A two-year-old chimpanzee called Do Do feeds milk to Aorn, a two-month-old tiger cub Completely at ease in each other's company, the ape's motherly instincts take over as she attentively bottle feeds the baby tiger. Aorn gratefully laps up the milk as Do Do tenderly holds the tiger in her arms. At one point, Do Do puts the bottle in her own mouth - almost mimicking the actions of a human mother checking to see if the milk is suitable for her offspring to consume. For some unexplained reason Do Do is wearing a pair of denim shorts - perhaps to protect her thighs from Aorn's claws. They were photographed at Samut Prakan Crocodile Farm and Zoo on the outskirts of Bangkok, Thailand. Bonding: The animals both live at Samut Prakan Crocodile Farm and Zoo on the outskirts of Bangkok For some unexplained reason Do Do is wearing a pair of denim shorts - perhaps to protect her thighs from Aorn's claws The crocodile farm, used as a tourist attraction, houses some 80,000 crocodiles and is the largest in Thailand. Its owners claim to hold the largest captive crocodile, measuring an astonishing six metres long and weighing 2,465lbs. Regular crocodile shows are staged during which zookeepers place their heads inside the reptiles' mouths. However, the farm doesn't just contain crocodiles.  As you'd expect from these pictures, monkeys and tigers also live there, alongside elephants, lions, horses and hippopotamuses. Heat test: Do Do drinks some of the milk, perhaps to make sure the temperature is okay for the tiger cub Aorn gratefully laps up the milk as Do Do tenderly holds the tiger in her arms http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2020467/Adorable-odd-couple-Chimps-maternal-instincts-awakened-feeds-milk-baby-tiger.html

The Jars Murderer - Lam Kor-Wan

Whose picture is this? 

The above picture is a picture of Lam Kor-Wan, the very first Hong Kong serial killer. He killed four women in four nights. 

I know this story after watching the CI (Crime and Investigation, Channel 732 Astro) at 2 this afternoon.

Here is the list of victims he had killed:

Chan Fung-lan, female, age 22, body found in seven separate pieces in the Shing Mun River, New Territories.

Chan Mong Kip, age 31, body found in a rice bag near Tai Hang Road, Hong Kong Island.

Leung Sau-wan, female, age unknown, body found in a rice bag near Tai Hang Road, Hong Kong Island.

Leung Wai-sum, female, age 17, body found in a rice bag near Tai Hang Road, Hong Kong Island.

Lam who worked as a taxi driver, would pick up female passengers, strangle them with electrical wire. He then brought the victim to his house,  took pictures and video of the victims and filming himself performing an act of necrophilia (doing sex to a corp) with his fourth victim. Lam cut off their sexual organ (breast and pubic), then put them in  Tupperware containers with preservative liquid. The other body parts was disposed in some places via his taxi.

What's the motive of this murder? Probably mental disorder...! He ever claimed that he is a God messenger. God told him to kill the women. Nevertheless, the prosecution has rejected the asylum motives as all he works well planned. He actually too eager to know the female anatomy, as he ever work as a nude woman photographer.

On April 8, 1983 at the end of a 21 day trial with a seven member all male jury, Lam was found guilty of four counts of murder and sentenced to death by hanging. On the 29th August 1984 Lam's sentence was commuted to life imprisonment, as was the tradition before the abolition of the death penalty in 1993. He is currently serving his life sentence at Shek Pik Prison.

Incredible - but true: The 'Adult Baby' - Paraphilic Infantilism !

Except Stanley Thornton is 30-years-old - and his 'mother' is really his room-mate. Mr Thornton seeks comfort in being treated like a baby, a condition known as paraphilic infantilism. The 'adult baby' lives out his fantasies at his California apartment, where he has built himself a giant crib, play pen and even a man-sized high chair. Childhood comforts: Stanley Thornton is bottle-fed by his room-mate Sandra Diaz, a former nurse He spends his days playing with Lego as he sucks on his pacifier, and being spoon or bottle-fed by his room-mate Sandra Diaz, who willingly acts as his mother. Tonight viewers will see inside his bizarre alternate world as he features in a National Geographic programme, 'Taboo: Fantasy Lives'. He said: 'For some people being an adult baby is a sexual fetish for them, but for most of us it's just, you know, you're doing it to relax, you come home from work, you change into baby mode, you put away your adult stuff and everything goes on hold.' He first began his return to childhood when he was 14, as a way of coping when he started wetting the bed after being abused as a boy. Regression: Mr Thornton says there's nothing else like waking up in a crib every morning, and it helps him get into the baby 'mindset' Child's play: Dressed in a giant babygro, 30-year-old Stanley Thornton plays with tin soldiers in the 'nursery' at his California apartment Content: Mr Thornton said he adapted this child's playpen by putting a thick layer of wood in the bottom so it would support his weight He started wearing diapers when he was 13, and then gradually realised he still wanted the comforts of babyhood - toys,a crib and even a pacifier. At 20, he began 'day wetting' and now wears a diaper every day. He said: 'The first thought is you start thinking you're crazy, because this isn't normal, or at least that's what you think, you think you're the only one doing it. 'Then you go down the road and go on the computer and you find all these other people that are doing it, and you find the name for it .' In 2000, he started website for other 'adult babies',  where members can find 'mothers or 'babies', and tips on where to buy diapers.  Cared for: Sandra Diaz feeds her room-mate and 'baby' with a spoon and a bottle Comfort: Stanley Thornton sucks from a bottle held by his 'mother', room-mate Sandra Diaz Psychological condition: Mr Thornton has worn diapers si nce he was 13 after he began wetting the bed.  Right, he makes baby noises as he plays with a soft toy and his Lego set in his nursery According to his website, he used to work as a security guard, but had an accident and now claims disability benefit for a heart condition. Each morning Miss Diaz, a former nurse, wakes him up in his 'nursery', where he sleeps in a crib dressed in a playsuit, underneath colourful mobiles hanging from the ceiling. He said: 'I like it, it's very comfortable, it's easy to get into the baby feel while you're in it. There's nothing else like it, waking up in a crib as opposed to a bed. 'Sleeping in a crib, you wake up as a child and you go on from there, and it's easy to stay in the same mindset.' He is woken in the morning by his room-mate, former nurse Sandra Diaz Double life: Mr Thornton dresses in adult clothes when he leaves the house to buy wood for his latest project, an adu lt-sized high chair.  Fantasy world: Mr Thornton explains how he built his own crib then painted it. A child's bedspread covers the bottom and mobiles and baby toys can be seen to the right WHAT IS PARAPHILIC INFANTILISM? Paraphilic infantilism describes the desire to wear diapers and be treated like a baby. Those who have a specific diaper fetish are known as diaper lovers (DLs). For them, the act of wearing a diaper is sexually arousing. Those who enjoy being treate d like a baby - which can include wearing diapers - but do not see it as a sexual fetish are known as adult babies (ABs). ABs and DLs have no sexual desire towards children. Because these fantasies are harmless, infantilists rarely seek medical help. The urge to be treated as a baby usually begins between the ages of five and 15. The majority are heterosexual, but just one in five are women. Source: Understanding Infantilism Then Miss Diaz feeds him, either w ith a bottle or from a spoon.  He has just finished building a giant high-chair, and he reinforced a children's play area to take his weight so he can play with Lego and stuffed animals. Miss Diaz said: 'I love him like he is my favourite nephew, he is like my family member who lost his mother, and I'm like the aunt stepping in and saying I'm still here for you.' Mr Thornton cha nges into adult clothes when he goes outside, but as soon as he gets home he goes back into 'baby mode.' Some infantilists, known as 'diaper lovers', see the condition as a sexual fetish.  But Mr Th ornton is keen to stress he and other 'adult babies'  find comfort, not sexual satisfaction, by being treated as a child. Infantilists have no sexual desire towards children. He said: 'Being an adult baby I've had a couple of different reactions, some good, some not so good.  'I've had some people that are perfectly fine with it and others that are just angry, maybe think you're automatically a paedophile because you're too into it. 'I like to be treated as a baby, just to get the love and affection, safeness, just to go back to a time when you're caring for a one or two year old.'

Artist Draws Portraits Using the Ashes of Her Subjects

From: only turab <turabbaig@yahoo.com> Date: Saturday, May 7, 2011, 7:09 AM   Raven J. Collins thinks she may be the only artist in the world to brush the raw ashes of a deceased person onto a pencil portrait. Using ashes as a medium is a growing trend in the artwork, but while some are mixing it with paint to create abstract works, moulding them into bizarre sculptures, or even compressing and using it as pencil filling (like lead), Raven Collins uses the ashes to create commission portraits of the deceased, whether they be human or animal. She’s only been doing it for a while, but ash-portraits already make up 90% of her business. As cremation becomes the more popular option in the funeral industry, the number of choices of what to do with the ashes also increases. Some people prefer to keep them in a fancy urn, others spill them into the ocean or over a peaceful pasture, but more and more people opt to incorporate their loved-ones’ remains into various artworks. Artists like Raven sometimes get referrals from funeral homes, but most of their advertising is word of mouth and online exposure. Collins’ idea was inspired by a tragic even that occurred two years ago. Her nephews Gavin, 3, and Sebastian, 1, died during a fire in Tampa, and even though she had been drawing portraits since high-school, the boys’ portraits were the hardest the 37-year-old artist ever had to do. In her suffering, she came up with the idea of incorporating the deceased’s ashes into their portraits. Her tragic experience helps Raven Collins to connect with her clients and better understand what they want in a portrait. Normally she receives a small amount of ashes in the mail, which she puts into a mortar and grinds to a fine powder, using a pestle. All it takes is a table spoon or less, then she adds a liquid to create a paste which she spreads over a drawn portrait, using a Q-tip. They can be spread anywhere in the portrait, in the hair of the subject, on a lapel, somewhere in the corner, but never on the face. Prices of her ash-portraits range between $200 and $300, depending on size and whether the client wants colors to be used. Check out PortraitsFromAShes.com, for more samples of her unusual art.

Facebook addiction :: this is hilarious ```!!!!!!

From : "NARESH VAKHARIA"

Saturday, April 23, 2011 2:59 AM

If you are on Facebook, I am sure you will find this hilarious 

The 76-year-old woman walked down the hallway of Clearview Addictions Clinic, searching for the right department. She passed signs for the "Heroin Addiction Department (HAD)," the "Smoking Addiction Department (SAD)" and the "Bingo Addiction Department (BAD)." Then she spotted the department she was looking for: "Facebook Addiction Department (FAD)."

It was the busiest department in the clinic, with about three dozen people filling the waiting room, most of them staring blankly into their Blackberries and iPhones. A middle-aged man with unkempt hair was pacing the room, muttering,"I need to milk my cows. I need to milk my cows."

A twenty-something man was prone on the floor, his face buried in his hands, while a curly-haired woman comforted him.

"Don't worry. It'll be all right."

"I just don't understand it. I thought my update was LOL-worthy, but none of my friends even clicked the 'like' button."

"How long has it been?"

"Almost five minutes. That's like five months in the real world."

The 76-year-old woman waited until her name was called, then followed the receptionist into the office of Alfred Zulu, Facebook Addiction Counselor.

"Please have a seat, Edna," he said with a warm smile. "And tell me how it all started."

"Well, it's all my grandson's fault. He sent me an invitation to join Facebook. I had never heard of Facebook before, but I thought it was something for me, because I usually have my face in a book."

"How soon were you hooked?"

"Faster than you can say 'create a profile.' I found myself on Facebook at least eight times each day -- and more times at night. Sometimes I'd wake up in the middle of the night to check it, just in case there was an update from one of my new friends in India . My husband didn't like that. He said that friendship is a precious thing and should never be outsourced."

"What do you like most about Facebook?"

"It makes me feel like I have a life. In the real world, I have only five or six friends, but on Facebook, I have 674. I'm even friends with Juan Carlos Montoya."

"Who's he?"

"I don't know, but he's got 4,000 friends, so he must be famous."

"Facebook has helped you make some connections, I see."

"Oh yes. I've even connected with some of the gals from high school -- I still call them 'gals.' I hadn't heard from some of them in ages, so it was exciting to look at their profiles and figure out who's retired, who's still working, and who's had some work done. I love browsing their photos and reading their updates. I know where they've been on vacation, which movies they've watched, and whether they hang their toilet paper over or under. I've also been playing a game with some of them."

"Let me guess. Farmville?"

"No, Mafia Wars. I'm a Hitman. No one messes with Edna."

"Wouldn't you rather meet some of your friends in person?"

"No, not really. It's so much easier on Facebook. We don't need to gussy ourselves up. We don't need to take baths or wear perfume or use mouthwash. That's the best thing about Facebook -- you can't smell anyone. Everyone is attractive, because everyone has picked a good profile pic. One of the gals is using a profile pic that was taken, I'm pretty certain, during the Eisenhower Administration. "

"What pic are you using?"

"Well, I spent five hours searching for a profile pic, but couldn't find one I really liked. So I decided to visit the local beauty salon."

"To make yourself look prettier?"

"No, to take a pic of one of the young ladies there. That's what I'm using."

"Didn't your friends notice that you look different?"

"Some of them did, but I just told them I've been doing lots of yoga."

"When did you realize that your Facebooking might be a problem?"

"I realized it last Sunday night, when I was on Facebook and saw a message on my wall from my husband: 'I moved out of the house five days ago. Just thought you should know.'"

"What did you do?"

"What else? I unfriended him of course!"

Weird food of the world.. Do Not See If You Don't dare... Most of Them Were Very Yucksss! But some of Them Were Just Normal

Date: Thursday, March 17, 2011, 7:25 AM Fried tarantulas – Cambodia An arachnophobe's worst nightmare comes fried and crunchy in Cambodia. In Phnom Penh markets and in the town of Skuon, locals deep fry spiders for locals and adventurous tourists alike. Buy one of these crispy snacks from a wandering hawker and you may even get to play with a live tarantula before tucking into one of his hairy brothers. The abdomen is only for the truly brave and is said to taste like "licking damp cobwebs." Cuy (guinea pig) – Peru They may look cute in the classroom but a guinea pig on your plate looks less adorable. Peruvian families keep guinea pigs as they are a good source of protein for villagers living up in the Andes. Cuy, as they are called, are generally roasted before they are served with all limbs and the head attached. There is not a great deal of meat on them and the skin can be rather rubbery but otherwise they taste similar to rabbit. Casu marzu – Sardinia This is a Sardinian speciality that comes with a health warning. Most food that's crawling with maggots finds its way into the bin but the decomposition of this "rotten cheese" is positively encouraged. Pecorino Sardo is set aside so that cheese flies can lay eggs inside the rind which then hatch into crawling maggots. These feed on the cheese, aiding fermentation and producing a pungent smell. Officially banned in the EU, the maggots are eaten live with the cheese, assuming they haven't jumped away first – some can jump up to 15cm. Civet excrement coffee – Asia Considered a delicacy in parts of Asia, these coffee beans are roasted after passing through the digestive system of a civet. Farmers on coffee plantations allow the weasel-like creatures to eat their crop in order to collect their bean-filled droppings for a steamy and surprisingly chocolatey beverage. While it has yet to make the menu at Starbucks, the beans can be bought in shops in London, including Selfridges. Fugu – Japan  Certainly not as repugnant as some of the other dishes on our menu, fugu – or puffer fish – has nevertheless become a notorious delicacy thanks to the fact that eating it can be fatal unless it is properly prepared. The fish's liver, ovaries and skin contains large amounts of the poison tetrodotoxin and there is no known antidote. Balut – Philippines   Sometimes described as "eggs with legs", Balut is an utterly gruesome – by some Western standards – delicacy from the Philippines. A common, everyday food, it is a fertilised duck or chicken egg containing a nearly-developed embryo – including feathers, feet, et al – that is boiled and eaten straight out of the shell. If you're not too squeamish, there are plenty of videos on YouTube. Chicken feet – Worldwide A common part of Asian, Jamaican and Peruvian cuisine, chicken feet are often served in soup or with black bean sauce. The foot is largely cartilage, while there are lots of small bones, so they certainly aren't for everyone. Live octopus – Japan and Korea  Many Westerners would find the practice of eating squirming octopus legs particularly hard to digest. It can seem cruel to the bystander, especially when the octopuses wrap themselves around the diner's chopsticks in an attempt not to be eaten. According to one diner's report, the wriggly bits can taste like "a party in your mouth" – but the suckers can be dangerous if they stick on the way down. Scorpions – China, Vietnam Like tarantulas, scorpions are usually eaten fried, though are also served coated in chocolate or in a soup. They are said to possess medicinal qualities, and are popular with tourists at Beijing's famous night market, alongside crickets, sea horses and countless other appetisers. Witchetty grub – Australia  An Australian term for large, white moth larvae, witchetty grubs are a staple in the Aboriginal diet. They can be eaten alive or cooked and are an excellent source of protein. They are said to taste like almonds. Durian fruit – Southeast Asia The smell of durian is so disagreeable that it has been banned from taxis, hire cars and public transport throughout southeast Asia. The novelist Anthony Burgess described it as "like eating sweet raspberry in the lavatory".  Seagull wine – Arctic Circle Not something you're likely to find down your local Brakespeares, seagull wine is an invention of Inuits in desperate need of a drink during those cold Arctic nights. Simply stuff a dead seagull (in bits, or whole) into a bottle of water and leave in the sun.  Rat – Vietnam, China, Thailand, Laos Rats destroy crops in rural Vietnam so farmers catch them, wrap them in banana leaves and sell them as a dinnertime treat. A roasted version can often be seen on the end of a stick in Thailand. Bats on a stick are also popular.  Kumis/Airag – Central Asia Made from fermented mare's milk, Kumis is an important drink for many Central Asian cultures. It is sour, slightly alcoholic and a rich source of vitamins and minerals – ideal for long treks across the Steppes.  Bull's penis – China A traditional aphrodesiac – for obvious reasons – bull's penis is eaten in various parts of the Far East. It was revealed last year that China's Olympic athletes even requested bull's penis soup on their weekly menus. Whether this contributed to their record haul of 51 gold medals, we'll never know.  Seal flipper pie – Canada Commonly eaten at Easter, seal flipper pie is a traditional dish from the Canadian province of Newfoundland. The internet is awash with recipes, usually featuring root vegetables, pork fat and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Smalahove (sheep's head) – Norway A traditional Christmas dish, Smalahove is made by boiling a salted lamb's head (minus the wool and brains, thankfully) for around three hours. Etiquette dictates that the ears and eyes are eaten first, while they are still warm, before the rest of the head is consumed, from front to back. The tongue and eye muscles are considered the prime cuts.

Photos Of one of The World's isolated Tribes...

Subject: Photos Of one of The World's isolated Tribes...

Date: Tuesday, March 15, 2011, 5:11 AM

New photos obtained by Survival International show isolated Indians in never-seen-before detail. The Indians are living in Brazil, near the Peruvian border, and are featured in the 'Jungles' episode of BBC1's 'Human Planet' (Thurs 3 Feb, 8pm, UK only).

The pictures were taken by Brazil's Indian Affairs Department, which has authorized Survival to use them as part of its campaign to protect their territory. They reveal a thriving, healthy community with baskets full of manioc and papaya fresh from their gardens.

The tribe's survival is in serious jeopardy as an influx of illegal loggers invades the Peru side of the border. Brazilian authorities believe the influx of loggers is pushing isolated Indians from Peru into Brazil, and the two groups are likely to come into conflict.

Survival and other NGOs have been campaigning for years for the Peruvian government to act decisively to stop the invasion, but little has been done.

Last year an American organization, Upper Amazon Conservancy, carried out the latest of several overflights on the Peru side, uncovering further evidence of illegal logging in a protected area.

Marcos Apurinã, Coordinator of Brazil's Amazon Indian organization COIAB said today, 'It is necessary to reaffirm that these peoples exist, so we support the use of images that prove these facts. These peoples have had their most fundamental rights, particularly their right to life, ignored … it is therefore crucial that we protect them.'

Renowned Brazilian Indian leader Davi Kopenawa Yanomami said today, 'The place where the Indians live, fish, hunt and plant must be protected. That is why it is useful to show pictures of the uncontacted Indians, for the whole world to know that they are there in their forest and that the authorities must respect their right to live there.'

Peru's Amazon Indian organisation AIDESEP issued a statement saying, 'We are deeply troubled by the authorities' lack of action… despite complaints from Peru and abroad against illegal logging, nothing has been done.'

TV presenter Bruce Parry of hit TV series Tribe said, 'Protecting the land where uncontacted tribes live is of global importance. We have consistently failed to introduce them to our world without inflicting terrible traumas. It is for them to decide when they want to join our world. Not us.'

Survival's Director Stephen Corry said today, 'The illegal loggers will destroy this tribe. It's vital that the Peruvian government stop them before time runs out. The people in these photos are self-evidently healthy and thriving. What they need from us is their territory protected, so that they can make their own choices about their future. 'But this area is now at real risk, and if the wave of illegal logging isn't stopped fast, their future will be taken out of their hands. This isn't just a possibility: it's irrefutable history, rewritten on the graves of countless tribes for the last five centuries.
