The Power To Unite

Sports has always had the great power to unite people no matter what race, religion, nationality, gender or social background they belong to. South Africa being one of the most diverse countries on the planet in terms of ethnicity, culture and geography has used the power of sports to unite its people together under one umbrella more than other countries. When it comes to The Proteas, Springboks or Bafana Bafana all South Africans unite to support their country against their opposition regardless of their race, religion or background. We fondly remember how passionate South Africans were...

10 Weird Phobias!

#1 Ablutophobia

Ablutophobia is the fear of washing, bathing or cleaning. It is a situational specific phobia and tends to be more common in children and women than in men. It is a relatively uncommon phobia but is serious because in the most extreme can lead to a complete fear of all types of washing.

The 10 Quickest and Easiest Things You Can Do to Have More Energy

#1 – Breathe

When we are stressed and tired, we tend to take short and shallow breaths, often through our mouths. This deprives our body of oxygen, which in turn, makes us further tired and sleepy. The solution: Sit erect on your chair, close your eyes, and just breathe deeply for 5 minutes. Breathe in to a count of five and breathe out to a count of five. When you open your eyes, you won’t need that coffee fix for boosting your energy. Do this several times a day to keep your energy levels up throughout the day.

Top 10 Most Annoying Things People Do (Often Without Realising)

#1 – Eating Noisily

At some point in your life, you’ve probably had to endure the noisy eater who manages to eat his food in a manner not dissimilar to a pig slurping on its swill. Oblivious to his fellow diners, he munches, crunches, slurps and swallows the food set before him for all to hear while you try to enjoy your own. But you can’t. Of course, you’d love to politely point out his immensely annoying eating habits but you know you’re not going to. Oh no, you’re going to suffer in silence until he finishes every last morsel on place plate. Arghh!

#5 – Precooked Frozen Shrimps

You need to be very careful when you feel like preparing shrimps at home. Our suggestion is that you skip the packages that they offer in big supermarkets. Instead, buy shrimp at a local fish counter. The difference is that precooked frozen shrimp that you can buy at the supermarket is processed with too much salt (around 75 mg alt per ounce), while you won’t find nearly as much sodium salt when you buy them at a fish counter.

#4 – Cornflakes Yep, most people are still completely unaware of the fact that a cup of cornflakes contains around 274...

10 inventions that have had the most impact on human society

Great minds often tend to change the whole world with just one invention. We would still be sitting by a candle and writing a letter to get in touch with a friend, as opposed to sitting in front of the computer and logging into Facebook to contact a friend if it wasn’t for certain inventions that were so incredible that they had enough impact to change the whole world forever. Today, we point out the 10 inventions that have had the most impact on human society.

1 - The Wheel

Double Barrelled Blunders

Seeing as it's Tuesday why not give yourself a laugh with these humourous Double Barrelled names...

#1 – Looney-Warde

This hapless couple from Oregon were married on 9th July 2005 at the Grand Ballroom in Salem. The question is… did she adopt his double-barrel name or did she insist on creating a surname that will condemn their kids to years of taunting at school? Your guess is as good as ours.

#2 – Best-Lay

Jennifer Lay and William Best from Maryville in Missouri exchanged vows recently at the home of the bride’s parents. It’s quite...

Who is really to blame for the floods?

Had the recent storms and flooding been caused by a perceived external enemy – another country, a hostile organisation or terror group, there would have been political uproar. We would have seen civil anger against the perpetrators and the calling for violent retaliation. A massive propaganda campaign would have ensued against the provocateurs, and there would likely have been strong demands for a declaration of war. But climate change (which is the most likely explanation for increasingly extreme weather events) is not caused by any of ‘them’. It is not caused by an easily definable enemy...
