I don’t consider myself as a pervert. Well, I really am not. I am just a curious kitty out there always looking for weird news to share with friends (family members often find those news a bit distasteful, or “too much” for their old age).

And see what I have stumble upon today!

Here Comes Happy Kitty.

The title caught my eyes. Kitty? Happy kitty? Hm… ;P How could a curious kitty resist the temptation to “click”?

While I was scrolling down the page, my eyes grew wider. What dah? I didn’t quite expect the subject of discussion to be a.. new vibrator? Wait.. it’s not a vibrator, but it’s a sex toy that’s BETTER than the traditional vibrator it claims. And one that man would desire, too!

Oh.. so kitty means.. Wait.. I am a kitty!

Skinny-dippers spark morality debate

I find it interesting that Chinese are evolving towards the European direction in terms of culture and morality standards, or the in acceptance of so for some. =)

I recalled Chinese people being extremely proud for being extreme conservative. My mom grew up in the era that if anybody saw a young girl with boobs so big that they bounced up and down while she was running, she would have been labeled as a slut already. Revealing the belly? No no. Revealing half of the breasts? She must be crazy. That was their era of youth…

It is difficult to imagine someone would not only believe, but actually act it, to touch the nature in the most natural way. Chinese believes and moralities are once again under a debate. Old conservative morals, or new European morals?

China facing epidemic of suicide, depression

Ha! Not that I am wise or that I have 6th sense. But I knew this would happen.

Chinese people are born to be depressed. Girls are born to be depressed because there are still thousands of parents who cherish boys a lot more than girls. The guys are born to be depressed because they are spoiled, and never learn to grow up by living with their parents till they are 35. Students are depressed because of the suppressive education system and the teachers always believe grades are everything, for the future, the fame and the money. Working class people are depressed that they are underpaid for their jobs. Liberal students are depressed that there is no freedom of speech, no human rights in China. Business men and government officials are depressed because they are so afraid of their scandals being revealed, and thus send their kids oversea to avoid any possible consequences/punishment.

With so many unhappy people living in a country where seeking psychological help symbolizes insanity to the general population, it is highly unlikely that anybody would be able to seek help, and openly discuss their problems with their friends or family. One by one, depression drives to insanity, or suicides.

It is, in fact, a social problem started years and years of ago by suppression and the struggle of traditional values and western culture/values. This evolution will only grow worse, if nothing is done, let it be government, family values, social expectations, self-awareness, or attitude to psychological problems.

Garnet Hertz: Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine

This is a weird project. Truely, weird. Using a giant cockroach to control a robot? Err.. I find it almost shocking that this guy is from my own school, in the program that I was once interested in (Interdisciplinary arts, Computer and engineer program). But if I had known that some projects might be something like this, to deal with cockroaches, I would have never wanted to be 500 feet near the buildings.

But I find some of the Q&A quite funny.

Isn’t it cruel to use a cockroach like this?

People are upset if cockroaches are healthy, happy and producing piles of babies in their kitchens. People are also upset if they are being hurt for the sake of entertainment… The insects I use lead normal, healthy lives: if you don’t believe me, send me your address and I’ll slip some eggs under your front door.

You should read for yourself. =)
