Facebook's Definition of Popularity

someone once told me.. "the more pictures you get yourself tagged in, the more popular you are." She was at 3k pictures..
Then she quickly added, "for guys, you should stand around 500-800 and you should be fine."
I was 500+ back then, I remember after that I quickly went home to check. I was so surprise how that statement actually affected me, considering I see myself as one of those rather not be bothered by peer pressure kindda guys.

Another Noob Chain Mail


FYI. Please be careful.

Hold the Petrol Noozle !!! DANGER !!!


Reminder to hold the petrol nozzle at all times. You guys don't be lazy.

Always hold onto the nozzle like I did. A friend stopped for petrol at the Petrol Station (the one) at the Lingkaran Highway near Gombak) a little over two weeks ago. This was the first time he patronized a station. As his normal practice elsewhere, he put the nozzle on automatic and stood nearby waiting for his car to be filled up. Suddenly
the nozzle flew out of the gas tank opening with petrol spewing out at high speed.

He was sprayed with petrol all over, including his face and eyes (just imagine the pain in his eyes). His companion quickly brought him to toilet to wash his face. After that
they reported the incident to the staff and asked to speak to the manager. The manager refused to see them. He only instructed the staff to take our friend to the hospital.
According to the staff that was not the first time the nozzle came out of the tank
while customers are filling up petrol. But our friend's incident was the worst.

The top layer of his right eye was damaged and the area around his eye burnt. His eye had to be bandaged for 10 days. He was not so lucky his eyesight was badly affected
and became blind. Apparently the nozzle was lighter than normal and the speed of the petrol created a backward thrust that pushed the nozzle out of the tank.

So please be careful. Share this info with your friends, family & relatives... ..




-------------------------------------


This is obviously a hoax to scare people because there's a few flaws.

Firstly, the patrol coming out of the nozzle (not spelled noozle by the author) was never "high speed". It is not a garden hose. If you fill up patrol bottles with it before you will know that it just a normal flow.

Secondly, even if it was at high speed, when it "flew out" and hit the ground or anything, the trigger will be flipped and patrol will stop coming out because it is very sensitive.

Thirdly, it doesn't make sense at all how he was hurt. If it was really "so damn high speed" that it sprayed his face so damn hard and hurt him. Well, most of you would realise how stupid that sounds.

Fourthly, in the end it says that he was burnt. Again, totally does not make sense. While it's true that petrol can corrode some substance, it can not hurt us unless it's lit or drunk. And the author didn't mention either.

Other minor things that does not make sense include the manager of the petrol station not wanting to speak with them saying it's happened a few times. What kind of bullshit, can you imaging anyone at all ignoring someone screaming in pain on your property and not wanting to come out and see what happen.

10 days of bandage for a burn injury that caused blindness? So what was it now, a sprayed caused injury, a fire or the petrol somehow became acid half way? Make up your damn mind.


My point for this is that we should stop spreading these lies around to scare people unnecessary. Most of us are educated now and can use the internet to our advantage. If you want to keep in touch with your friends through email, I don't mind those cute messages with cats and/or dogs. But please DO NOT spread these emails with wrong facts to mislead people into inconvenience.
