Married To Twins

Lucky Man Marries Siamese Twins!
(Translated from the Thai Rath Newspaper)

After Mr Wichai (Tao), aged 24, from Samut Songkram province, who earns his living by dealing in old goods, got married to gorgeous twins Ms Sirintara and Ms Thipawan 22, he vouched his sincerest 'equal love' for both of them!

Mr Wichai, just yesterday, got married in a grand ceremony to both twins simultaneously.

On being interviewed by Thai Rath reporters, Mr Wichai declared wholeheartedly that he didn't see much problem in having to perform tiresome marital duties with two wives.

In the engagement ceremony before the wedding, Mr Wichai successfully offered a dowry of eight baht of gold and 80,000 baht EACH for his lovely darlings.

Both families celebrated the marriage with joy and were said to be delighted for the threesome.

Mr Wichai told the press that he had been best of friends with his neighbouring twins since they were children.

'When I grew older, I would walk past their house each morning and try to decide for myself which one I fancied more, but it was darn impossible - I adored BOTH of them - I just couldn't decide which one of them to chat up....!'

He went on to say, 'For three continuous years all three of us would go on dates together, until there was one day when I couldn't stand the frustration any longer and told them, 'I love you and want to marry you BOTH''

The fortunate Mr Wichai, instead of getting a slap in the face, was overjoyed when both girls admitted to having sworn all along that they wished to marry the same man!

'It wasn't easy at first, what with the neighbours gossiping, but our family sympathized, understood, and fully supported our mutual love for the one man' the twins said.

Mr Wichai arranged for his brides to live with him in his family house after the wedding, and his mother has already proudly prepared TWO rooms for the newly-weds.

Our reporters were just gagging to hear the response to this mouth-watering question:-

"And.... what are the sleeping arrangements Mr Wichai?", to which he replied modestly with a beaming smile.

'Absolutely no problem! For the first three nights of the week, I will sleep with Ms Thipawan and the next three will be spent with Ms Sirintara. As for every Sunday, the three of us will sleep together - Sandwich Thai style."

Hunter Birds

Birds' beaks come in an amazing variety of shapes and sizes. One big reason for this is that beaks are specialized tools for gathering food. Imagine if you had to gather your food without hands. Birds manage, because of their beaks.


What do these birds eat? These six birds will feed at the buffet you set up. When you figure out the best tool for gathering the different foods, you can compare that tool to these pictures, and find out what each bird eats.

Imagine a flamingo trying to sip nectar, or a hummingbird trying to crack open nuts. They couldn't!

These six birds eat very different things. Their beaks are the perfect tool for the job.

Compare the beaks to the common tools you see here. You can tell a lot about how a bird gathers its food by the shape of its beak.








A bird of prey, or raptor, is a bird that hunts its food using its curved beak and talons. They also generally have excellent vision.

Nocturnal birds of prey (the owls) are carnivorous birds, preying on mice and other small animals.

Eagles are large raptors with long, broad wings and massive legs and capable of gripping and lifting its prey to a safe place to feed on.

Other birds are opportunistic omnivores although their diet may consist of meat

World Sand Sculpture Festival – Japan 2009

The Master Sandcastle Sculptors Day

“Fairy tales and legends” is the theme of this year’s World Sand Sculpture Festival now underway at the Tottori Sand Dunes in Tottori prefecture. On display (until May 31) are 19 massive works crafted by world-class sculptors from ten nations.


The artists used around 2,700 tons of sand and took about two weeks to complete their works. Fairy tales and legends depicted in these sand sculptures are truly from imaginative minds.










Sand sculptors work frantically to turn their visions into reality in just a few hours, then watch their creations wash away with the next high tide will be a mere waste.

In world class competition, using deluge of sand away from the beach is never easy, but a pragmatic way to avoid high tide.



Such big time competition, the creations go beyond simple castles by turning mere sand and water into true art. By judging their impeccable creations, the competition has become pretty “fierce” because such people exist like these professional sand carvers.
By giving free reign to their own creativity is important and they could turn the beach into a fantasyland by just doing imaginative things with sand is amazing indeed.
Such competition is also held in various parts of the world. When will it be in South East Asia, I wonder.
