Censorship in Iran

If you buy a magazine at a shop in Iran, you’ll  find they have been heavily censored.  Here are a couple examples:

National Geographic, Feb 2006, Cover. This issue of NG is about this phenomenon called love. The cover is a photo of a couple in embrace, not really kissing, but almost. On the uncensored cover, that is.

Wallpaper, Sept 2005. Dior advertisement.

New Years Superstitions

Because January 1 is the first day of the new year, we have drawn a connection between what we do on that day and our fate throughout the rest of the year. Here are some of the ways we attempt to guarantee a good outcome through our acts on that portentous first day:

• Kissing at midnight:   We kiss those dearest to us at midnight not only to share a moment of celebration with our favorite people, but also to ensure those affections and ties will continue throughout the next twelve months. To fail to smooch our significant others at the stroke of twelve would be to set the stage for a year of coldness.
• Paying Off Bills:   The new year should not be begun with the household in debt, so checks should be written and mailed off prior to January 1st. Likewise, personal debts should be settled before the New Year arrives.
• Black-Eyed Peas:   A tradition common to the southern states of the USA dictates that the eating of black-eyed peas on New Year's Day will attract both general good luck and money in particular to the one doing the dining. Some choose to add other Southern fare (such as ham hocks, collard greens, or cabbage) to this tradition, but the black-eyed peas are key.
• Loud Noise:   Make as much noise as possible at midnight. You're not just celebrating; you're scaring away evil spirits, so do a darned good job of it!
  According to widespread superstition, evil spirits and the Devil himself hate loud noise. We celebrate by making as much of a din as possible not just as an expression of joy at having a new year at our disposal, but also to make sure Old Scratch and his minions don't stick around. (Church bells are rung on a couple's wedding day for the same reason.)

Hung

To paraphrase Mel Brooks’ Blazing Saddles movie,

“They said he was hung, and they was right.”

UPDATE:  Actual video of the hanging that you won’t see on TV.  Not very good quality video taken with a cell phone camera – with sound.

Shoes that vacuum while you work around the house

They're one giant leap for man and womankind on the domestic front – shoes with a built-in vacuum cleaner that suck up dust as you walk.

Designers at Electrolux believe the footwear, called the Dustmate, will allow busy people – especially young professionals – to do their chores without having to drop everything.


Research shows the average householder spends almost 90 hours every year vacuuming the house.

But Electrolux says the Dustmate could turn cleaning into an 'unconscious byproduct of everyday life'.

The greencolored shoes have two parts – a rechargeable base that contains the vacuum motor and an elastic sock which holds the user's foot in place.
