NAIROBI (AFP) - A baby hippopotamus that survived the
tsunami waves on the Kenyan coast has formed a strong
bond with a giant male century-old tortoise in an animal
facility in the port city of Mombassa , officials said
the hippopotamus, nicknamed Owen and weighing about
300 kilograms (650 pounds), was swept down Sabaki River into the Indian Ocean , then forced back to shore when tsunami waves struck the Kenyan coast on December 26, before wildlife rangers rescued him.

'It is incredible. A-less-than-a-year-old hippo has adopted a
male tortoise, about a century old, and the tortoise seems to be very happy with being a 'mother',' ecologist Paula Kahumb u,who is in charge of Lafarge Park , told AFP.

'After it was swept away and lost its mother, the hippo was traumatized.
It had to look for something to be a surrogate mother.
Fortunately, it landed on the tortoise and established a strong bond.
They swim, eat and sleep together,' the ecologist added.
'The hippo follows the tortoise exactly the way it followed its mother.
If somebody approaches the tortoise, the hippo becomes aggressive, as if protecting its biological mother,' Kahumbu added.

'The hippo is a young baby, he was left at a very tender age and by nature, hippos are social animals that like to stay with their mothers for four years,' he explained.

'Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away'

This is a real story that shows that our differences don't matter much when we need the comfort of another.
We could all learn a lesson from these two creatures.
'Look beyond the differences and find a way to walk the path together.'











'Look beyond the differences and find a way to walk the path together.' Fine words, and what we should all be trying to do in this life..

You know whats it like laydees..We've all been there.It looked good and fitted like a glove..Last year.. But we try and squeeze into it, and hope against hope that it'll still turn heads.. Buy a bigger size?? Are you maaaaaad!!






There you go, puuuuuuurfect!!

Mehndi is the application of Henna as a temporary form of skin decoration which is popular in South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Somalia. Mehndi decorations became fashionable in the West in the late 1990s, where they are sometimes called henna tattoos. Henna is typically applied during special occasions like weddings and festivals. It is usually drawn on the palms and feet, where the color will be darkest because the skin contains higher levels of keratin which binds temporarily to lawsone, the colorant of henna. Henna was used as a form of decoration mainly for brides.

The term henna tattoo is inaccurate, because tattoos are defined as permanent surgical insertion of pigments underneath the skin, as opposed to pigments resting on the surface. Likely due to the desire for a "tattoo-black" appearance, many people have started adding the synthetic dye PPD to henna to give it a black color. PPD is extremely harmful to the skin and can cause severe allergic reactions resulting in permanent injury or even, in the worst case, death....

Sun is out here one minute then cloudy, cool and breezy out so no barbecue for tea....

Winston walks into the front door of the A&D bar. He is obviously drunk and staggers up to the bar, seats himself on a stool and, with a belch, asks El for a drink. El politely informs Winston that it appears he has already had plenty to drink and that he could not be served additional liquor. El offers to call a cab for Win.

Winston is briefly surprised, then softly scoffs, grumbles, climbs down from the bar stool, and staggers out the front door. A few minutes later, Winston stumbles in the side door of the bar. He wobbles up to the bar and hollers for a drink. El comes over and - still politely if not more firmly - refuses to service Win and again offers to call a cab. Winston looks at El for a moment angrily, curses, and shows himself out the side door, all the while grumbling and shaking his head.

A few minutes later, Winston bursts in through the back door of the bar. He plops himself up on a bar stool, gathers his wits and belligerently orders a drink. El comes over and emphatically reminds Win that he is drunk and will be served no drinks. He then tells him that he can either call a cab or the police immediately.

A surprised Winston looks at El and in hopeless anguish cries, "Man! How many bars do you work at?"

hahahahahahhaa!
