Mr. Know it All (useless info of the day)

Bizarre World Sex Records

World’s Largest Penis – 13.5 in

World’s Largest Vagina – 19 in

The Largest Vagina most likely belonged to Scottish giantess Anna Swan (1846-1888), a remarkable woman who set a number of records relating to her bulk. Born normally sized, she began growing at a prodigious rate in childhood, finally reaching a maximum height of 7′ 8″ at age 19. Capitalizing on her huge size, she joined a side show and toured the country, where she met and fell in love with Captain Martin Bates, another giant who measured over 7 feet tall. They wed in 1872, making them the tallest married couple in the world, a record that still stands today. The couple settled down into married life, built a mansion filled with enormous furniture, including an 11′ by 7′ bed where they consummated their union. On June 18, 1879, she gave birth to the largest baby in history, weighing 26 lbs. and 34 inches in length—so large, in fact, that it became tightly wedged in her capacious tract, only extricated by the use of forceps and belts. The child did not survive the rigors of birth, but a cast was made, still on display at the Cleveland Museum of Health. Generally the largest part of an infant is the head. We know that the tyke’s cranium measured about 19 inches (48cm) in circumference, hence we compute the minimum dilation of Swan’s passage as 6 inches, or just over 15 cm. That’s pretty wide—the normal dilation for childbirth is 10 cm.

Fact or Fiction

The Jamaican bobsled team placed ahead of the United States team in the 1994 Winter Olympics.

FACT

When the Jamaican bobsled team made their debut at the 1988 winter Olympics in Calgary, many people thought it was a joke.  How could a team from a country where it never snows compete in the winter games?  While the team came in dead last, they attracted so much attention that Disney made a movie about them.  They continued to train, and at the 1994 winter games in Lillehammer, Norway, they placed 14th in the four-man bobsled competition, ahead of teams from the United States, Russia and France.

We Are One: A Filipino American Movement to Engage President Aquino

Thursday, September 16, 2010 /

On September 25, 2010,  join hundreds (and perhaps thousands) of new generation Filipino-Americans in making a journey to San Jose, CA to demonstrate to the world that we are ONE Filipino, and that collectively, WE do have a VOICE to make a positive difference.

There are a multitude of issues that plague Filipinos both in our ancestral home and abroad-from poverty and corruption in the Philippines, to division, lack of representation, and general apathy or lack of willpower here in the US.

Yet, I truly believe that we Filipino-Americans of the New Generation have the WILL to make true changes occur.  We are instilled with American ideals and well-educated. We can inspire an entire people with our sheer numbers and with the utilization of social media and the internet.  There is data supporting that if all the Fil-Ams in North America were lumped together, our collective Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or economic output, is greater than that of the Philippines.

We have the opportunity to show solidarity with our fellow Filipinos across the Pacific Ocean that we CARE.  It all starts with being ONE Filipino; that no matter where we are born, what citizenship we have, our ancestral roots will always be from one place-the Philippines.   An Opportunity has been presented to assemble, show solidarity, as well as have fun.  Our time is now.  Let us come together as one People.

I know that my participation in this event will make a difference.  YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE TOO.

Let’s start a chain reaction.  Tell a friend.  Join the movement.   Fly.  Drive.  Bus. Walk.  Ride.  To the rally on September 25, 2010, in San Jose, Ca.  Show up, tell others, and let the movement spread like wild fire.  This is YOUR movement.  This is OUR time.

Hundreds will be there at the rally and their voice will matter.  Will you be there with them?

Together, we can show our unity and make a difference.

For more information, please visit www.weareonefilipino.com or contact me at Ronald.magtanong@gmail.com.

Mr. Know it All (useless info of the day)

World’s Largest Penis – 13.5 in

The official rank of the largest penis belongs to a man measured and documented by Dr. Robert Dickinson in the earlier part of the twentieth century. This record-holding penis was 13.5 inches (34 cm) in length and 6.25 inches (16 cm) in circumference.

And  the living owner of the world’s biggest human penis is Jonah Falcon. Falcon’s 13-5 inch member has been measured for a TV special, making him one of the few guys who can back up his bodily boasts.

Fact or Fiction

A man died after playing video games for more than 24 hours non-stop

FACT

in fact, several men have died after marathon video-game sessions, particularly in 24-hour cybercafes that are popular gaming venues in Asian countries. In South Korea, a 24-year-old man died of exhaustion after playing for 86 straight hours in 2002; and a 28-year-old man who had recently lost his job because he spent too much time playing Starcraft died of heart failure in 2005 after a 50-hour session. A 27-year-old Taiwanese man reportedly passed away in 2002 after playing video games for 32 hours, and in 2007, a man fainted in a Chinese cybercafes after three straight days of gaming. Perhaps these cybercafes should impose time limits.

Grandparents Day – September, first Sunday after Labor Day

Grandparents’ Day is a far more recent invention than Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. It was fostered by Marion McQuade, and a presidential proclamation on September 6, 1979, made it official. It is observed throughout the United States on the first Sunday after Labor Day, except in Massachusetts, where it is observed on the first Sunday in October.

There are a number of ways in which grandparents can be honored and their day celebrated. One is to invite real or “adopted” grandparents to school for the day, where they participate in their grandchildren’s classes or special assembly programs. Gift giving is not as widespread on this day as it is on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.

Video Games Day

Sept 12. A day for kids who love video games to celebrate the fun they have playing them and to thank their parents for all the cartridges and quarters they have provided to indulge this enthusiasm.

Fact or Fiction

You get infected with sore eyes if you stare at someone already infected directly in the eye.

FICTION

This is a myth which very popular in the Philippines. But in reality it is not the looking at the eyes of the infected person that gets you the sore eyes. When you are somewhere near a person with sore eyes, you are likely touching the surfaces that he/she already touched.

Involuntarily you also touch your eyes which eventually give you the same infection. It was misconstrued then that just by looking at the eyes of the infected can get you infected but in reality it is the unforeseen incidents that occurs before and after the looking at the eyes of the infected person. .

ICE-WATCH coming to the Philippines

Friday, September 10, 2010 /

LOGO-ice-watch

A little watch sets out to conquer the world…

ICE-WATCH® will soon be the leading brand in its segment. These little watches with their vibrant colours, chosen from the seemingly infinite choice offered by the polymer industries, and their perfectly crafted packaging, are becoming more popular by the minute with hundreds of thousands of consumers. An estimated more than 3 million watches will have been sold by the end of 2010, with 250,000 watches being sold per month, at a rate of 5 watches per minute. How nice it is to be able to enhance our leisure and sports activities and our trendy evenings with a choice of perfectly matching watches, at minimal cost. ICE-WATCH® is making its mark every day by proving that it is ready to please by permanently adapting to our ever changing world, at a starting price of €59.

CLASSIC-green-U-wb CLASSIC-white-U-bb STONE-SILI-red-silver-U

Today, a massive production process is underway. In two years, ICE-WATCH® has obtained an exclusive distribution contract with 81 countries (Europe, Asia, Africa, America and Australia). It boasts 3,700 sales outlets in jewellers, design stores, fashion boutiques, 150,000 visits per month to www.ice-watch.com with 9 pages per visit, 1, 400,000 pages viewed, an average time of 4 minutes 30 per visit and a bounce rate of 25%, 20,000 fans on FACEBOOK in less than 6 months, 25 ICE-WATCH® partners at international level and 5,000 direct or indirect partners: the ICE-WATCH® phenomenon is literally exploding. On the flipside, production is not keeping up with demand as the forecasts for 2010 were way off the figures we are looking at today.

CHRONO-black-sili-B CLASSIC-yellow-U-bb STONE-SILI-black-rose-gold-U

ICE-WATCH® has had a retail presence since 2007. The idea came from its creator, the Belgian Jean-Pierre Lutgen, who through numerous trips in Asia and a network of trustworthy and reliable partners developed an ingenious idea and launched a global concept with its own visual, tactile, aural and even olfactory identity, showcasing a watch that is fun, hip, intergenerational, available in a complete range of colours, presented in a perfectly matching money-bank case, with a fine tuned and daring marketing strategy. In demand throughout the world both with the media and prestigious educational institutions, our self-made-man enjoys explaining how his dream has become a reality.

CHRONO-white-PC-B CHRONO-black-yellow-B XXL-white

Established throughout Europe, the brand was designed in Bastogne in Belgium, with creations whose style is a reflection of European glamour. The movements come from Japan, they are produced and assembled in Shenzhen in China and distributed from Hong-Kong. Each distributor has market exclusivity and a considerable degree of freedom of action, within certain strict guidelines: for example, the way that “ICE-WATCH®” is written must be scrupulously observed.

ICE-CHRONO-black-white-B ICE-WINTER-golden-leaf-U CHRONO-black-sili-U

Since starting out in this very protectionist sector, Jean-Pierre Lutgen has achieved amazing feats, driving forward his off- beat and extraordinary vision, this reworking of the classic watch into one with a new energy and a futurist sex-appeal, one which adds a totally new chapter to the rich heritage of watch making history. It’s for this reason that Belgium, aware of this story, wanted to honour ICE-WATCH®, by presenting it at the Shanghai World Exhibition.

Photography Exhibit: GandaNg Pinas (Beauty of the Philippines)

GandaNg Pinas (Beauty of the Philippines)

Photography Exhibit

‘Di ba’t sawang sawa ka na sa mga imahe ng mga mahihirap? Who doesn’t know about poverty?

We see it everyday–in the news, as we cross the streets… Yes, we are aware of the socioeconomic status of the Philippines. We know of corruption, of the poor, of the incontrollable growth of Philippine population, of flood and garbage.

We think of all these things when we think “Philippines”. But have all these negative aspects completely overshadowed the beauty of our country that was and still is?

We are Diploma on Professional Photography students of DLS-College of Saint Benilde. And we present to you “Ganda Ng Pinas,” a photography exhibit on the beauty of the Philippines–the side of our country we seldom get to see.

Mind you, we are not the typical group of students: a retired US Navy, two working moms, a model cum photographer–we are pretty much a mix of the young and not-so-young anymore. But all of us share one thing: love for photography and love for our country.

As the new Philippine administration spurs nationalism and Filipino pride, we believe this is the best time to exhibit GandaNg Pinas. Let us work together to rebuild our nation, tayo ang simula ng pagbabago.

————–
Event details:

Title: GandaNg Pinas (Beauty of the Philippines)
Event type: Photography exhibit
Where: TriNoma, Level 4 Cinema Lobby
When: September 13 to 17, 2010 (Monday to Friday)
September 12, Sunday, 6:00PM, Opening ceremonies (by invitation only)

BIG Google Announcement = Google Instant Search… FAIL

Thursday, September 9, 2010 /

Google sent the whole world in a frenzy as they started a countdown to some (according to them) BIG news!

Taking it’s cue from Apple, Google tried to pull off some Apple type magic with the unveiling of new changes at Google which everyone thought would be revolutionary! We all all hoping for a defining moment in history!

So what did Google unveil? What was the big Google Announcement?

Let me present to you… GOOGLE INSTANT!

It’s Google searches that suggests what you may be searching for at the type of every letter…

No….. that’s not a joke…. that’s really the big announcement from Google…

Yes I know it’s LAME as your grandma… but in all fairness…. some of Apple’s announcements are pretty lame too. The only reason they SEEM so cool is because Steve Jobs is onehellova speaker and promoter!

Steve Jobs could say that he likes cats and people would think that it’s the most revolutionary event in mankind’s history!

So lesson to Google…. get a Steve Jobs before you make us wait for a big Google Announcement then let us down with Google Instant Search which = FAIL which = LAME.

Google Announcement = Google Instant Search… FAIL

Twangsta (Twitter Gangsta) Wars! Fabolous Twitter vs Soulja Boy Twitter

Wednesday, September 8, 2010 /

Of all the things Twitter has proven to be, the one thing I never expected was for Twitter to be the grounds for gang wars between celebrity Hip Hop artists / rappers. Really… WTF?!?!?!

Battling it out via Twitter, Twantsta Fabolous went on to Twit-mock Soulja Boy for being an alleged cocaine drug addict.

“Jus finished my 3rd photo shoot of the day. Now that I’m finished I can finally pay some attention to a 19yr old cokehead named @SouljaBoy,” Fab tweeted.

“Let’s hav some fun.. New #TT #SouljasCokeHabit”

“#ParisHiltonsCokeHabit ain’t got sh*t on #SouljasCokeHabit..”

“#SouljasCokeHabit had him wearing a chain made outta rubberbands when he 1st came out. Now he upgraded to a bunch of #BrianPumperJewels.”

“@SouljaBoy’s biggest hits weren’t on his albums.. They were on his dresser in a hotel room wit Kat Stacks. Thank#SouljasCokeHabit”

“#SouljasCokeHabit made him talk sh*t about me on twitter. Then he sobered up, and deleted the tweets#TypicalCokeHeadSh*t”

“Let me find out,#SouljasCokeHabit got him Amy Wine’d out.. Got em hooked like he threw a fishing line out..” (Fabolous’ Twitter)

Soulja Boy initially tweeted these Tweet-taunts toward Fabolous and eventually caught Fabolous’ attention.

“he better stfu before i send my young n*gga Lil B to murder his a** lyrically,” Soulja Boy tweeted early Tuesday (September 7) morning.

“I wish that fab would quit copying my swag d*mn he a nut rider i swear man.”

“I will murder that n*gga fab in a freestyle battle he garbage compared to soulja boy.”

Then just when you thought it couldn’t get any more “Twangster” (Twitter Gangster) than that… 50 Cent decides to throw his guns in the pool! 50 Cent backed up Soulja Boy on this Twitter gang war:

“I told you n*ggas a long time ago soulja boy my little n*gga yal better leave him the f*ck alone for somebody get hurt.”

“For the last time I’m telling you niaggs leave my n*gga alone. hollow tips a make you spit more then a hot 16”

“I get all you n*ggas killed f*ck that. I dear you n*ggas touch him. Soulja say what ever you wantN*ggas aint gone do sh*t.” (50 Cent’s Twitter)

–

Oh man! These Twangstas are crazy mofos Fo Shizzle! Imagine if Tupac and Biggy had Twitter accounts back in the day….

Tupac Twitter:

Hellz nah! I know this nizzle @BiggySmalls didn’t just retwizzle my sh*z without givin me a shout! Punk a$$ biatch! #wcoastlove

Biggy Twitter:

A Call for Stephen Colbert Restoring Truthiness Rally

Wednesday, September 8, 2010 /

In response to the “million moron march,” also known as the Glenn Beck Restoring Honor Rally, the internet has called for a “Restoring Truthiness Rally!”

The website the Daily Transom writes:

As a response to Glenn Beck’s recent “Restoring Honor” something-or-other held in Washington on August 28, a call has gone out to Comedy Central’s leading exponent of all things truthy, Stephen Colbert, to hold a rally of his own. Colbert’s show is in reruns at the moment, so he can’t readily respond to ColbertRally.com, which states the following about why it was created:

Why: America, we are at a crossroad. Truthiness in this nation is at an all-time low since the inception of the concept was founded by the great American, Stephen Colbert. In its rich history over the past five years, Truthiness has become synonymous with American values such as freedom, honor, and Taco Bell. Recently our nation has suffered a truthiness drain. In fact, untruthiness is as common as measles vaccinations that cause cancer. We as a nation have stopped relying on our emotions and gut. We need to get back to what makes this nation great. Act on impulse not fact. Stop wasting time analyzing and just take what people say on face value. Why think when someone else can think for you. It’s superficial. It’s quick. It’s American. Restore Truthiness now!

The owners of the website did not immediately respond to an email request for comment. UPDATE!“Restorer of Truthiness” responded to our questions quickly enough to merit an update. Three people make up the team behind the idea, and according to the “Restorer” the point of “Stephen Colbert, colbertrally.com, and the idea of a Restore Truthiness Rally is that you cannot take politics so seriously.” The email continued:

Do we honestly want Colbert to hold a rally? Definitely. Is this some left-wing agenda driven response to Glenn Beck’s rally? No, but we do want to make a parody of it, and who better to do it then Stephen Colbert. Our goal is to stir people up to be a part of a fun light-hearted movement to NOT take politics too seriously, and have a few good laughs along the way.

The “Restorer” ended the email message by stating that if Stephen Colbert issues a response to the effort, ‘they’ will “pee our pants. Then, we will proceed to work with him to hopefully coordinate an event.”

Rihanna Carries A Gun! Rihanna’s New Tattoo

Wednesday, September 8, 2010 /

The smokin’ hot Barbados beauty, Rihanna was caught carrying a gun! Rihanna’s gun was found on her leg and is reportedly there without a permit!

I guess Rihanna learned her lesson and decided to arm herself in case any more crazy Chris Brown type boyfriends decides to make her face into a punching bag.

OK, just kidding. But wanted you guys to see Rihanna’s new tattoo! Rihanna’s gun tattoo is a bit too much for me. I mean I LOVE tattoos and all but this one is just kinda over top.

The other tats on her arm and stuff are ok. I still kinda like Rihanna better naked… well I mean with less tattoos. They’re just a bit messy on her.

What do you think about Rihanna’s gun tattoo?

Fact or Fiction

If you want to stay healthy and properly hydrated, you must drink eight glasses of water per day.

FICTION

While it’s a good idea to drink plenty of water, there is no scientific or medical basis for the specific amount of eight glasses per day. Water-intake needs vary from person to person, depending on age, size and amount of physical activity. We also get a fair amount of water through the foods we eat and from other beverages, so it’s not always necessary to get all our fluid from drinking water.

Ok, so I have no clue how this contest is going to work… it’s my first time trying it, but what the heck!

WAAAAAAYYYY too many people have been begging for the SUPAFEST tickets and I haven’t even started giving out any tickets yet. Plus, the concert is still a couple weeks away.

SUPAFEST Manila 2010
September 18, 2010 (8:00pm)
Mall of Asia Open Grounds

Rarely do we see four of today’s hottest and biggest-selling artists coming together to perform in one big music festival for the price of one.

The show will feature Flo Rida, T-Pain, Sean Kingston and Kelly Rowland back-to-back in an r&b, pop and dance concert festival where fans can enjoy more than three hours of non-stop hits.

Flo Rida hit the ground running with his blockbuster debut, Mail on Sunday. The rapper’s single, Right Round, shattered the all-time one-week digital sales single record. Flo Rida himself set with his debut, Low. Right Round sold over 636,000 downloads on its first week, making it the highest digital single debut ever. His latest single, Club Can’t Handle Me (featuring David Guetta), is the lead single of the Step Up 3D soundtrack album and is currently one of the hottest singles in the Billboard charts.

Sean Kingston‘s song, Beautiful Girls made history as one of the fastest ascents on the charts ever. His other top ten hits include Me Love, Take You There, There’s Nothin and Fire Burning. Kingston has sold more than six million digital sales, more than 4.5 million ringtones, and has toured with Gwen Stefani and Chris Brown. His latest single, Eenie Meenie features his close friend and teen superstar Justin Bieber. They are currently touring together in the US until the first week of September.

Kelly Rowland rose to fame as one of the founding members of the Grammy winning girl group, Destiny’s Child. Together with Beyonce and Michelle, they were behind the #1 hits like Say My Name, Survivor, Independent Woman and Bootylicious. Her total record sales, when combined with the group, have surpassed 60 million. During the hiatus of the group, Rowland collaborated with famous rapper Nelly on the worldwide number-one hit, Dilemma. In 2009, she scored another number-one hit with her collaboration with French DJ David Guetta on When Love Takes Over. With this success, they have again collaborated for Rowland’s latest single, Commander, which is part of Rowland’s upcoming album. On the concert, she will feature her chart-topping hits, including the ones of Destiny’s Child.

T-Pain, one of the best singer-songwriter and record producer of today’s generation, is the voice behind countless hits, including Bartender, I’m Sprung, Church, Can’t Believe It, Freeze and Buy U A Drank. He also produced and recorded songs with Chris Brown for Kiss Kiss, Kanye West for Good Life, Jamie Fox for Blame It, Mariah Carey for Migrate and Baby Bash for Cyclone. Take Your Shirt Off is his latest single, and is also part of Step Up 3D soundtrack album.

Mr. Know it All (useless info of the day)

Sufficiently Big Melons Can Keep You Out of Prison

You would think that the only way breasts could keep anyone from doing jail-time is if that person went back to the judge’s chambers and let him touch them for a couple of minutes. But luckily there are less sad examples of the twins providing legal representation in court, as was the case with Serena Kozakura.

In 2007 Serena Kozakura, 38, was convicted of property destruction after she allegedly kicked in the wooden doors to an unnamed man’s apartment and trashed it to hell. However, during a reenactment of the crime, Kozakura proved that the hole someone made in the door was way too small for her and her impressive 44-inch chest to crawl through.

Based on just that, the woman was acquitted. It’s probably safe to say she will never curse her massive knockers ever again after it turned out they are her own personal pair of top notch defense lawyers. Oh breasts, is there anything you cannot do?

Fact or Fiction

You can pop popcorn using cell-phone radiation.

FICTION

You may have seen video clips showing an array of cell phones surrounding a pile of popcorn kernels. When the phones are used to call one another, the resulting “radiation” causes the popcorn to pop.  Don’t bother trying this at home — it’s not possible to pop corn (or cook an egg) with cell phones.

These videos are part of a viral marketing campaign for a company that sells phone accessories. Using careful editing and low-budget special effects, they mimic the appearance of popping corn by dropping pre-popped popcorn onto the table while the unpopped kernels are digitally removed.

Moment of Zen

Every day in Africa a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a lion wakes up.
It knows that it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.
When the sun comes up, you better be running.

Thanks for listening to “The G-Spot”

Hope it was good for you too…

The Andes Beer Teletransporter: the Most EPIC Invention to Help Men Go to Bars

Tuesday, August 31, 2010 /

The Situation:

Men love going to bars with friends.

–

The Problem:

Girlfriends!

–

The Solution:

The Teletransporter by Andes Beer –

A closed booth

Completely soundproof

With a sound panel that recreates hundreds of different environments

To get men out of the bar

Without actually leaving it

–

The Result:

More happy men at bars

Less broken up couples

Can I call this a work of genius? You get in this soundproof booth within the bar and then play some sort of sound effect in the booth to make it sound like you’re at a wedding, at the hospital, babysitting or whatever!

We need more Teletransporters around the world!

Why lie to your girlfriend when you can Teletransport
