What are the basic necessities for human survival?  The answer is food and water.  If 2012 is really the end of the world, are you prepared to survive beyond that?  Have you thought of what should be in your survival kit?  If you think you are unlucky enough to die on the day of the end of the world, please do not continue to read the rest of the article.

The first item you should pack in your survival kit should be condom.  Why condom?  Why worry about safe sex when it is the end of the world?  We might as well enjoy the bare skin contact pleasure right before we bid the world farewell.  Well, if you are going to have a crazy party before the end of the world without condom protection, please go ahead.

We must always remember a survival kit must be light.  It is the quality of the items you choose to pack in your survival kit that will save your life, not the quantity of it.  If you are exposed to enough commercials, please try to recall what kind of messages the condom manufacturers were trying to tell other than safe pleasure?  The messages are elastic and waterproof.

If you are the lucky survivor of the end of the world, you should seriously consider bringing condoms with you.  Water is the most basic and important need for human survival.  One can live without eating for several days but cannot live without water intake for more than three days.

Due to the elasticity and strength of a condom, it is a perfect substitute for a water container.  Condoms can also be used for water storage and food storage.  If you have some conspiracy documents that you kept and want to protect, you can also put them in a condom.  All you need to do is tie a knot and it will preserve your documents, electronics (torchlight), food, medicines, and water.

Another alternative usage of condoms during survival is using it as a mask.  Just in case you are in an environment full of poisonous gas, please do not hesitate to pull the condom over your head.  The inflated condom should contain sufficient oxygen that allows you to breathe for several minutes.

So quickly grab some condoms before they are out of stock!

Wifi Bodyscale
icon1 nikewong | icon2 Health | icon4 01 19th, 2012| icon3No Comments »

Hours of sitting in the office and bad diet habit cause my waistline to expand.  Other than exercise and proper diet, I do need a body scale to monitor my weight.  While I was browsing Amazon, I came across this “WiFi Body Scale” and I thought, “Wifi?  Do I even need to stand on it?”

The body scale caught my attention, so I read further.  Apparently the scale can measures weight, fat mass, BMI… boring!  I need to know more.  It can actually connects to the internet to graph weight charts for up to 8 users.  You can monitor the body weight indicators of your family members on your mobile devices or web browser.  There are also free iPhone, iPad and Android applications for the monitoring system.  Too bad there is no BlackBerry application for a corporate guy like me.  Maximum weight that the wifi bodyscale can handle is up to 180kg.

Very tempting.  But how lazy can I get?  I could have just buy a normal body scale at a dirt cheap from my local pharmacy store.  I guess I gain weight for a reason.
