Ok, please mark this under I-Bet-It-Hurts-More-Than-Getting-My-Balls-Kicked, some 39 year-old Thai woman named Kanchana Kaetkaew, who is also known as the “Scorpion Queen“, has set a Guinness World record by putting a scorpion in her mouth for over two minutes. Her royal Scorpionida-highness carried out this weird feat in Pattaya and was assisted by her husband, Bunathawee Siengwong. Interestingly, her hubby is known as the “Centipede King“. The two were married in a haunted house on 2006. Hmm, wanna take a guess at what food items they served their guests at their wedding reception? I bet this was the liquor of the evening.

I am glad 2008 is almost behind us. What a bitch of a year it was! You know you’re screwed when the Dow Jones industrial average plunged much faster than Tila Tequila’s 5-minute fame and Zhang Ziyi’s chances of making it big in Hollywood. 2008 was also a year filled with weird news. Here is my top ten list of “The Weird News From Asia” in descending order. For the fun of it, you should go over the list from the bottom to the top.

Apparently some girl in her 20s who lives in Zhuhai, China was left partially deft following a passionate kiss with her man (full article here).  According to the doctor who treated this bitch, her boyfriend, who apparently had “kissed too hard”, reduced the pressure in her mouth and pulled her freaking eardrum out. Holy shit! Was he really kissing her, or sucking the life out of her? He’s probably a 1000 year old freak who needs to feed on people’s lives to stay young. Wait, is her boyfriend fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld?

Anyway, the incident prompted a media frenzy with newspapers in major Chinese cities reporting the dangers of strong and forceful kissing.  China Daily even wrote that “While kissing is normally very safe, doctors advise people to proceed with caution,” This is why I am not big on sucking face. I do like to suck this but I bet it has dangers of its own.

Animal rights group listen up! This is your chance to hold another protest. Just get those placards and banners ready. Make sure you stick some adorable Monkey pictures on them.  There is this restaurant in Japan who uses two monkeys as their servers. Yes, actual monkeys! Not to be confused with those monkey-like servers who work at your neighborhood TGIF or Chili’s . Check out the clip here.

Perhaps I should start using monkeys to clean my apartment too. At least they don’t go through my stuff and ask me why I don’t like women like my meemaw cleaner from Hong Kong who wants to introduce her single daughter to me all the time!
