30 Nov 2012 by Harry Haddon / No Comments
This headline poses so many questions. What is a sex box? Should I want one, or be disgusted by one. What’s up with the Swiss that they need something called a sex box? Can I get one for Christmas?

The Olympics haven’t even been running for a week and already a second athlete has been expelled from the games following a racist tweet. This time the guilty party was Michel Morganella, a Swiss football player, and his Twitter faux pas wasn’t nearly as tame as Voula Papachristou’s last week.

In the wake of a worrying shift towards censorship of the internet, this is sort of comforting.

The group, who are members of the organisation, jacuzzi.ch, suspended themselves 153 metres in the air from the Gueuroz Bridge in Switzerland, with naught but cables and ropes keeping them up.

Singapore – Doesn’t suck We’re already living in a global village. So the idea of national borders is becoming increasingly strained. Gallup has released data describing where in this big village respondents would re-locate if exorbitant costs (i.e. Visas and travel fees) and international borders weren’t part of the process. “Sulplise!” Most people said they’d [...]

Are YOU ready? If you’ve been toying with the idea of defaulting on your home loan or joining a Russian acrobat troupe for a while now, go for it. Last week, students on UCT’s upper campus were the victims of random and ferocious pamphlet bombings by people wearing “May 21, 2011” T-shirts. Naturally lured in [...]
