The biggest SUV available!

This is possibly one of the funniest articles I've read lately (well ok, it's not that I read that much but I found this one particularly funny): Kiss My Megatruck, Dude. It's about the latest SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle), a beast that makes the the Hummer look like a tiny spot on the road... The truck is simply amazing, but I completely agree with the [witty] points raised in the article related to absurd demonstrations of machismo (though I have to admit that I like one of these SUV myself: the Volkswagen Touareg )

How long can a Sim live without peeing?

When playing God, there's always a little temptation to torture your Sims, right? This torture comes with pictues: How long can a Sim live without peeing?, I found it terribly funny specially when the whole neighborhood pee on them and die laying on their own puddle of pee. Simply hilarious And here goes another funny one: A Week in the Life of The Sims 2

Cottaging!

After sailing, we spent last weekend in a cottage (1st-3rd of October), in a place called Seeteri. Seeteri is a farm that offers cottages for rent which look very nice and at a reasonable price It is hard to say whether it primarily is a farm and then a place that provides accomodation or viceversa but the result doesn't really matter Seeteri is located about 10km from Somero which is a small and peaceful village in the middle of nowhere in the Turku region, and about 100km west of Helsinki.

There of course we did all the usual things that you'd do in a cottage in Finland: visited the surroundings, walked around the lake and enjoyed the beautiful look of the Finnish Autumn, rowed, grilled, had a sauna (a real sauna, not one of those electrical ones!!), walked around the forest picking up berries and mushrooms (I even managed to find some familiar ones... "rovellons" for the Catalan speakers, but I didn't dare to pick them up because I wasn't 100% sure) and in general, enjoyed a really beatiful view in a gorgeous environment. What else can you ask for...? Oh yes, we also had something to drink

I would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to see a bit more of the real Finland instead of staying all the time in Helsinki. Also the price for the cottage was only 223Ä for the whole weekend and it was big enough for 6 persons so that's actually less than 40Ä/person.

I was in London last week, participating in a course for my company. Since the course lasted from Thursday to Tuesday, I had to spend the weekend there. I went to do some sightseeing during the weekend and I took a few pictures (quite bad, by the way!) But take a look if you wish

One of those little games...

...that will make you spend the whole morning trying to break your own record

Smack the pingu!

My own record is a crappy 501.3m, but record here at the moment is 593.5! Can you break it?

Drunk elephants

They should set a mandatory maximum alcohol level for elephants in India. Otherwise, things might get dangerous there...
