David Moeller, a member of German Olympic team, broke his tooth. He won a silver medal at the event. As usual, he was biting his medalion for the photographers. However, he went a bit too far. He broke his tooth and the tooth was sent to the dentist.
Moeller said that there was no pain, but it was annoying when he cannot smile normally.

What a fabulous event happened in the Olympic. I hope the other players to be careful when they bite their medalions. =)

A famous SAT teacher was forced to renew his contract

This event occured in South Korea.
A famous SAT teacher was refusing to renew his contract with the original academy he worked for, because there were many other better offers to him with a higher pay.
The owner of the academy secretly called the teacher to his vacation house. The owner illegally detained the famous SAT teacher in his property, and forced him to sign a renewal with him by using physical force. After struggling, the SAT teacher was coaxed to renew it.
However, this story spread out and it eventually went to the police.
The owner of academy was arrested, and the SAT teacher was released from his contract and is now in United States, having going through mental treatment.

Although I am ashamed that this even occured in my country, this event is quite an interesting fact. Who would have imagined that there are some people who kidnap SAT teachers? This might show that Korean people consider learning as the primary objective in their lives. However, too much desire can potentially enhance the possibility of crimes occuring.
Regardless of their purposes, criminals must be punished.

The most expansive Wisky I ever heard


It is called Windsor Diamond Jubilee
60,000 pounds are spent just to make the wisky, and adding the taxes and profits etc, the final price became about $300,000 for a bottle.
Since one bottle of this wisky is 700ml, there are 17.5 of 400ml size wisky glass. So, diving the $300.000 with 17.5, the price for a glass is about $17,143.
And the bottle is expansive too, it is made by the famous crystal company Baccarat , although I never heard this company's name before.. =P, diamonds, silver are used to make this bottle
But Isn't it expansive?

under 180, LOSER?


A 23 years old college girl's speech in a TV program is currently becoming a hot issue.

This girl, DoKyung Lee, had an opportunity to appear on a TV program called beautiful women's gossip. The issue came from her daring remark. She disparaged all men who has the shorter height than 180cm; She called those people as LOSER and said that they are not even considered as men. This nonsense proposal has influenced the South Korean society a lot in last couple months.

Many member organizations have sued the program and the studio because of this silly proposal. Moreover, some people are making a contradictary examples, using a famous people.
LOSERS?:
Bill Gates: 178cm
Thomas Cruise: 170cm
Napoleon: 168cm
Einstein: 175cm
Beethoven: 162cm

Although I am not LOSER according to this discernment; I think it is nonsence as the 88% of South Korean men are under 180cm and the average height is 173cm. I just feel ashame that I am have the same nationality.

WOW

90% of Dollar bills in circulation in the U.S. contains traces of cocaine on them, informs CNN article. The researcher says that it doesn't mean that all these bills were used for consuming the drugs directly, but that some of them could be contaminated when they contact with the other bills that were used for this purpose. However, 90% is still a lot, i mean it is way too much!
Isn't it shocking that the most powerful country in the world has this result?
What do you think about it? Do you think it is why there are so many social problems?
For a country that spends billions of Dollars on fighting drug traffiking, it seems a little hipocrite.

Do you know what is "sleep start"?


Have you fell asleep during the day? I know your answer: yes.
However, sometimes you wake up with a sudden body movement?
Most people feel very embarrassed when they do that.
But, probably, not so many people know why it happens.
Now here is the reason
First of all, this reaction is called a “sleep start”.
It sounds little weird but there are five stages of sleeping
1. A doze
2. A light sleep
3. A deep sleep
4. A slow-wave sleep
5. REM sleep

The reaction happens when a person is distracted by something, when those stages are flopping over to the next stage. If the person is distracted, his body moves to wake up in unconsciousness, and it leads his body to the sudden muscle tension. That is why people sometimes wake up kicking the front person, or with a shock.
