No longer will we have to utter the words, “you know the area where Beluga / Weylandts / Waterfront Studios and Waltons are?” Because from now on we can simply say “The Foundry.” That is the name that has been given to this neat little neighbourhood which falls within the greater Green Point suburb. “The […]
Charlie Sheen has been winning for real a bit lately. He revealed on Comedy Central’s, “The Roasting Of Charlie Sheen”, that it’s the love of his family that made him realise this. He gave a touching monologue that seemed to signal he is ready to get back on the straight-and-narrow. Oh, and Steve-O ran into Mike Tyson’s fist.
Earlier today, Members of Parliament gave a thumbs up to a five percent increase on President Jacob Zuma’s salary. He will now earn close to R2.5 million per year. Zuma was also kind enough to give Members of Parliament the same 5% increase in the National Assembly.
The University of Washington has finally found a way to make us of the mental energy expended by online gamers – recruiting them to decipher the structure of monomeric enzymes, found in retroviruses like HIV, by playing an online game called Foldit.

Wowsers, this competition is genuinely off the hook! And don’t you just love it when companies put their balls on the line? Using words like “Free” and “lifetime” in the same sentence? It’s completely mental! I’m freaking out all over the place! Especially when they’re talking about a 10Gb ADSL account! That’s what RSAweb are […]

A teenage boy who has been dubbed “forest boy” by the international media is apparently keen to go back to the bush. The boy, believed to be a 17-year-old English language speaker, handed himself over to German officials in Berlin earlier this month after walking for about two weeks. Officials describe his story as “incredible”.
As you know, two naked people together in a photograph (okay, sometimes three or four) is called pornography. But 1 000 naked people snapped together equates to “art”. And Spencer Tunick has made an entire career out of doing just that. His latest picture features 1 000 naked Israelis posing in the Dead Sea – the ocean where everything floats…

Awesome. Women on the Philippine island of Mindanao, growing tired of the continuing separatist warfare interfering in their everyday goings-on, decided to take matters into their own hands. And by hands, I mean pants. They organized a “sex strike”, which brought a quick end to fighting between the two villages.

Sam Peckinpah’s 1971 opus, Straw Dogs, stands as a monument to the psychological thriller genre to this day, and makes surprisingly thrilling fodder for a re-make.
The ratifying of the Protection of Information bill may be delayed. Opponents of the so-called Secrecy Bill – 3 000 of whom took to the streets of Cape Town on Saturday in support of the Right2Know campaign – may have claimed a minor victory in their battle against the controversial Bill. Further vigils will take place across the country tonight.
Would-be ginger sperm donators are being turned away from genetically-picky sperm banks in droves. It’s practically an orange tide of rejection. Citing “minimal” demand for the love seed of ginger-crowned males, the world’s largest sperm bank, Cryos, has been turning fanta-pantsed donor applicants away at the front door.
Do you remember the old adverts that pitted the Duracell bunny against other batteries at massive distances? Well, Panasonic is actually doing this now. They’ve designed robots, and entered them into a rather large triathlon taking place in Hawaii next month, in which homo sapiens will compete.
Sir David Attenborough is one of the world’s most well-known scientists and natural history film-makers.

I was reading Esquire magazine this weekend on my iPad 2 (get the Zinio app for magazine reading) and stumbled upon this pic of Candice Swanepoel, as she continues the practice of dropping napalm everywhere she goes. Thought you might “like”. Click here to see our past Candice Swanepoel posts.
Independent and Evening Standard owner, Alexander Lebedev showed up in an interview on Russian TV with fellow super-rich-Russian, Sergei Polonsky last night.

A European Union trade pact that dictates that the name “port” may only apply to fortified wines from Portugal will mean that the word will disappear entirely from bottle labels in this country by the beginning of January next year. The move has been on the cards since 2000, when the South African government agreed to stop using it.
The first intimidating “Ka Mate” was preformed by the All Blacks in 1905, and has been considered an important part of international rugby ever since.

Hollywood veteran Clint Eastwood is notoriously inscrutable about a lot of topics. This time however, Dirty Harry came out firing for gay marriage, or, to be specific, against those opposed to same-sex nuptials.
A probe into the SABC has revealed that the national broadcaster has been paying for its employees’ M-Net and DStv subscriptions. You can’t really blame the SABC’s employees for preferring non-SABC programming. But it does seem a little silly for the national broadcaster to be forking out for its own staff’s subscription television “privileges”. Especially when online TV is cheaper.
