This will be the last time you will get to witness this phenomenon as it’s been reported that Atlantis will undock earlier than planned from the International Space Station tomorrow. This will earmark its return from its final mission into space ahead of the start of privatised space courier services next year.
Like bootleggers from the olden days, three American girls recently set up an illegal lemonade stand. They actually had the audacity to try and pawn their goods off to the unsuspecting public WITHOUT a city food and beverage permit! Luckily, good police work took care of that and the girls’ illegal and dodgy activities have now been brought to an end.
This is the latest Mastercard ad, running on New Zealand television at the moment – ahead of the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Pretty cool that they talk about the 1995 World Cup without mentioning anything about food poisoning. Follow the link to check it out.
The image of Jesus has appeared on some very random items in the past including a piece of bubblegum, a Kit Kat Chunky, and even an iron. But, according to an American couple, JC has now appeared on a discarded Walmart shopping receipt. What’s even freakier is the fact that they first saw the image just as they came home from church one morning!
I was checking out the Name Your Hood website this weekend and must say, the 200+ names that have already been put forward for the the first two neighbourhoods in the project (Hood 1: the area above Saigon on Kloof Street & Hood 2: the area around Heritage Square between Buitensingle and Strand) are just […]
Today the DA will ask Sars to investigate the fearless ANC Youth League leader, Julius Malema’s finances. According to the party’s police spokesman, the DA has information that points to Malema building a 16 million Rand mansion, complete with panic room.
The Springboks customarily receive a flurry of questions from Australian media, and a warm welcome from South African expats, when landing in Sydney. Not so much yesterday, when they arrived at around 8pm local time to be greeted by green and gold wearing…crickets. “Where is everybody?” joked captain John Smit.
Yesterday, the Sunday Times carried a story about a dog attack. A four-year-old girl was mauled by a Rottweiler in the upmarket Hyde Park shopping centre last Monday. But what was unique about this? The dog’s handler is a dog whisperer and also claims to be “Africa’s number one dog expert.”
Cape Town Fashion Week 2011 Jenny le Roux’s Habit collection was a hit [popyacollar] Cape Town Fashion Week 2011 – Fashionistas collapsed in a heap this Sunday, as Cape town Fashion Week 2011 came to an end. By all accounts it was a raging success. 2oceansvibe’s first choice in online fashion, PopYaCollar was there and […]
I do feel sorry for the people out there who didn’t play the EuroMillions lottery over the last couple of weeks, as it rolled over and over, resulting in a jackpot of R1.8 Million (EUR 182 Million). They bitched and moaned about how stupid it was to enter the lottery, while we discussed buying $100 […]
On Thursday, the Mexican Defense Department reported that soldiers have found the largest weed plantation ever detected in Mexico. The huge field covers an astonishing 300 odd acres (120 hectares), and would have been worth about $160 million if it had been harvested and brought to market.
Michael Wolff is a very influential American journalist who has lately been doing a lot of television interviews. This makes sense, seeing as he wrote a biography of media mogul Rupert Murdoch two years ago, titled “The Man Who Owns the News”. But see what happens when the BBC wrongly introduces him live on air as Ben Walker, baseball editor for the Associated Press! Awkward.
Quick on the draw, as usual, Nando’s has had a little dig at the ex real Cell C CEO. Lars Reichelt, who announced his sudden and immediate resignation this week, will return home to Switzerland to spend more time with his family. He’ll be watched though.
Many of you may know the frustration of having your video removed from YouTube, simply because you used some insignificant part of someone else’s song. Now Lady Gaga knows exactly how you feel, even worse, she’s had her entire account suspended by YouTube.
When opening a sex museum in a country where, publicly, sex almost doesn’t exist, you had better make sure that it’s as offensive as possible, since controversy is sure to follow. I’m pretty sure naming it Tochka G, meaning G-spot in Russian, and covering the walls with images of Putin sword-dick-fighting Obama, should do the trick.
Most pre-season preparation has begun for northern hemisphere football teams that will shortly start their new seasons. Coincidentally, Spanish soccer club Real Madrid are in Los Angeles to face LA Galaxy on Saturday. They decided to train on the UCLA campus in preparation for the match. And drive golf carts around, into someone, with perfect timing.
The pressure finally got to the fiery red-headed Rebekah Brooks. In the last few minutes news agency Reuters has officially announced that News International CEO Rebekah Brooks has resigned and will be replaced by Tom Mockridge. This comes after a scathing attack in an apparent four-page letter from Elisabeth, and the second biggest NI shareholder declaring “she has to go.”
I was chatting about this with a good acquaintance last night who used to own a Mercedes AMG, and had since toned his taste down a bit because he had had a massive crash and didn’t want to own fast cars anymore. He said he’d kill himself yadda yadda. That logic is ridiculous, and I told him so.
Fox News’ Eric Bolling recently decided that one of the guests on his show was being too mean to George W. Bush. So he spoke up in defense of the weapons of mass destruction eff up. Try spotting the slight error in this statement: “America was certainly safe between 2000 and 2008. I don’t remember any terrorist attacks on American soil during that period of time.”
We all have our lapses of judgment. But some of us make such horrendously poor decisions that one simply has to ask, “What were they on?”. Every week we bring you three contenders in what can only be described as a battle of small wits. So, with great pleasure we present this week’s three La […]
Yesterday we received this harrowing report from Europe by a brave 2oceansViber. Before you continue, note that we indemnify ourselves from any angst or emotional complications that you may suffer as a result of reading the following letter.
When he’s not letting us know that he’ll be on holiday, President Jacob Zuma harnesses the power of the presidential twitter feed to promote the dramatic accomplishments of his progeny. Sweet, man. Check out the tweet after the jump.
There cannot possibly be a cooler animal than this: A mutant snake with two heads. And now, for your entertainment, you can see one. All you have to do is go to the Ukraine, famous for the beautiful nuclear-wasteland, Chernobyl.
Pro-whaling representatives from Japan, Iceland and some African and Caribbean nations, upped and left the room yesterday at a gathering of the International Whaling Commission. The topic they were touchy about was a proposal to create a sanctuary for whales in the South Atlantic. Guess walking out was a simple way to ensure the vote could not proceed?
FBI Opens 9/11 Inquiry Into Murdoch’s News Corp – The phone hacking scandal that has ignited a political firestorm in Britain jumped the Atlantic on Thursday as the FBI opened an investigation into whether British reporters tried to access cellphone messages and records of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in violation of […]
Two months ago we covered CAR Magazine’s first foray into bridging the divide between digital and print publishing with an augmented reality. That was just the taster. This month, they’re just showing off, with a fully 360 digital projection of the above luxury German motor vehicle on the front cover. It’s pretty rad – check […]
Yesterday, concerns arose that Cape Town motorists may fall victim to the fuel worker strikes that are plaguing other parts of the country, prompting many people to fill up their tanks before Western Cape pumps started to run dry. However, the Fuel Retailers Association has said today that it does not foresee major shortages impacting the province.
Rob van Vuuren and Martin Evans are back in the 2oceansVibe Radio house! Their show, the Drive Time Robbery, is live right now. Martin and Rob had a two week hiatus from the air, due to their preoccupation in Grahamstown, where they were simultaneously garnering awards and packing out performance venues with their respective comedy […]
“Italy Too Big to Bail Out as Crisis Enters ‘New Phase’.” That was the headline I read over at Bloomberg earlier. Don’t get me wrong, I know Italy is facing serious problems, but when will they actually get rid of the bungling “bunga bunga” Berlusconi? Today the country has been auctioning an estimated €3 – €5 billion in fixed-rate bonds.
Moments after John Smit announced he would be leaving the Sharks and joining English club side Saracens for two seasons after the 2011 World Cup, well-known author and rugby pundit, Dan Retief weighed in with his opinion on Twitter. Smit replied, with a perfectly weighted volley of wit. Check out the tweets after the jump.
