Malaysia Boleh

A joke making rounds.

After digging to a depth of 100 metres last year, Russians scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network one thousand years ago.

Not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, American scientists dug 200 metres and headlines in the US papers read: 'US scientistss have found traces of 2000-year old optical fibres, and have concluded that their ancestors already had advanced hi-tech digital telephone 1000 years earlier than the Russians.'

One week later, the Malaysian newspapers reported the following:

'After digging as deep as 500 metres, Malaysian scientists have found absolutely nothing. They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were already using wirelss technology.'

Proud to be a Malaysian.....

Serve Them Right

Two brothers being sentenced to caned with six strokes of rattan by the Syariah High Court in Kuantan for drinking alcohol in public. Read more about it here. In pleading leniency, the offenders told the court that they were of lower income group. Stupid fools. If you don't have the money, go and drink syrup - it's much cheaper that the stouts that you drank.

That should serve them a good lesson and other Muslims too. Islam prohibits drinking of liquor. Period.
