A bald man went into a pharmacy and stole five bottles of a hair loss treatment but was caught while running away, police said. (AP)

That was a typical steal for a bald man and yea he made news out of it!

But it is sad the man, Mark Hoousendove, 42, had to pay $3,000 bail for stealing the product worth $50 and he is due in court Thursday.

Will somebody tell him about the “Bald is Beautiful” movement. Or tell him to read this funny article by Ravi Pipal who says,

… don’t waste your hard earned money on oils, tonics, grafting, weaving, wig,, etc. all these are rackets run by haired to rob we poor hair nots.

As you know I am using some sponsored posts to pay for the blog hosting and other costs. Most of the offers demand that the post should be at least certain number of words. It had always been a problem to count the numbers of words in my post. I used to write the post and copy it and paste in Microsoft Word just to count the words. That was not that convenient.

Then I decided to create a code in JavaScript to count words in a post so that I don’t need to leave the browser.

Now I can type the post and open the link from my blogroll in new window to paste and count the words before publishing it.

Let me count the words in this post: It is …

I don’t usually talk about religion and faith but after reading today’s news about new Canadian regulation on voting I thought of writing something. The move might reinforce Canada’s multi-cultural and multi-ethnic image. But does it do justice in personal freedom? That too when women in Islamic countries are demanding freedom of dress and behavior for women in the Islamic society.

In some Islamic countries women are not allowed to vote and that does not mean Canada needs to follow them to make some people happy.

Under the new regulations, the voter –presumably a woman wearing a niqab or burka — will need to present a valid piece of identification with a photo and address as well as a back-up document that meets the standards of an authorized list. (news source)

A photo identification? Why is that required if you can’t see the face to verify it?

Does the image in left look like something weird?

Yes zero everything and earnings $25. That is what the welcome screen stats looks like when you sign-in Auction Ads for the first time. That is great to get some money for doing nothing.

Auction Ads is a advertisement network set-up to promote eBay auctions and they promise to pay 100% of eBay commission revenue. Auction Ads is not contextually based ad product so it can go along with Google Ads too.

If you are wondering why they are paying $25 for every new publisher, there sure is a catch. They have increased the minimum payout amount to $50 so you have to earn another $25 from the advertisements to be eligible to receive your first pay in PayPal. If you want to sign-up here is the referral link.

This sure is creative!!

British artist Damien Hirst, 41, created an unique skull art which was sold last week at a record price of 100 million dollars (75 million euros). According to the London gallery the price is a new record for work sold by a living artist.

Shall I call it beautiful? I don’t think so.

Ths artifact named “For the Love of God,” is a skull cast in platinum and encrusted with 8,601 diamonds. Death is one of the central themes in his works and the skull used in this work is considered to be from 18th century.

He once said that the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States were like a work of art, but later apologized. (source)

Much details on Hirst’s life and his work can be found in his Wikipedia page.

A Malaysian man nicknamed “King Tooth” has pulled a seven-coach train using a steel rope to set a new world record for the heaviest weight pulled with teeth. Rathakrishnan Velu hauled a nearly 328-ton train over more than 9 feet along tracks at a railway station in Kuala Lumpur.

Rathakrishnan, who partially attributes his strength to an Indian form of meditation, pulled the train 9 feet, 2.2 inches in the first attempt.

His second and third attempts resulted in the train moving 2 feet, 4.7 inches, and 8 feet, 1.6 inches.

Rathakrishnan told that he does some Indian meditation exercises and jaw training daily.(AP, news )

Is it the manufacturers that are undermining the consumer’s health and safety or is it just the alertness of the monitoring agencies? News are flooded with news of recalls.

• Today, Transport Canada is recalled three brands of car seats: Cosco, Eddie Bauer, and Safety 1st car seats have a strap that can loosen, and jeopardize a child if there’s an accident. (CTV, sept 2)
• Canada recalls Lead-filled Chinese pencils (AFP, Sept 2)
• Toys ‘R’ Us recalls paint sets from China (AFP, Aug 31)
• US company recalls fresh spinach over salmonella contamination (AP, Sept 1)

Well, it might be a higher cost for some businesses and opportunities for other businesses as Quebec toymaker, Bojeux, says that the recall of Chinese-made products will have consumers opting for Canadian-made goods. (CanWest news)

I was wondering are recalls enough for the consumers? Comments please.
