What happens to rockstars when they get old? - They just keep on rockin' !! One thing all these people have in common (besides still being alive), is that they are all over 60 and 70 years old, and as they've moved on in life, the music has lived on in their blood. I think it goes to show that the musical talent of legends is ageless . The biggest achievement of this article? - Reminding me of how old I'm getting !! HALL OF FAME 61 ...

As a reader of the Internet, I often come across comical lists describing why Something is better than sex.  What outrageous and naughty fun to send to my friends and coworkers!  Here's what I find strange about them: they're never funny, and they never have authors.  It's like the Internet generates them itself in failed attempts at learning man's comedy.  And if that's true, the last thing you'll ever read is "The Top 100 Reasons Why Accessing The Humans' Nuclear Launch Codes is Better than...Read Full Story

Disclaimer: I'm not creating the list, just reporting on it and providing video clips. The list was created from a poll conducted by 'The Vine' magazine and was compiled on not only emotional impact, but also creativity.

As I sit here in my hotel room in Tokyo, Japan posting this article, I'm reminded why I'll be sticking to taxis and steering clear of the subway :) _____________________________________________________________ Maria Tsvigun was the leader of the White Brotherhood cult based in the Ukraine which predicted the 'end of the world' in 1993. Tsvigun was convicted of hooliganism and extortion in connection with a planned mass gathering around the predicted end of the world...Read Full Story

After a month in Shanghai, I'm now back in warm Singapore. I must say that as usual, the SIA pilot did a wonderful job on the landing at Changi... but sometimes even the best pilots can struggle if the airport is not very well designed. As a frequent traveller who endures hundreds of take-offs and landings, I have become somewhat immune to the fear - unlike driving a car, when I fly my life is in the hands of someone else... and I've always been taught to only stress over those things that...Read Full Story

According to the Vine: "It is that most dangerous of combinations between copious amounts of alcohol and lascivious carnal desires that culminates in the explosion of unbridled passion that is the one night stand. One of the most cherished social traditions has a long and florid history on the big screen...Read Full Story
