I can’t sleep. For the second night in a row, I’ve been awake since 03.00am. I’ve been too busy lately I guess. So what does a man do in moments like this? Surfing the internet a bit, in order to become more and more astonished about the stupidity of some other fellow human beings.

It happened in Egypt earlier this week. A 25 year old Egyptian was madly in love with a girl. His parents didn’t like her, and forced the poor guy to marry another woman. He didn’t agree with their choice, and protested against his parents by cutting of his penis and damaging his testicles. The docters couldn’t help him anymore. A pretty drastic way of protesting against something.

In China, a guy wanted to commit suicide by jumping from a bridge. He hesitated. Causing a huge traffic jam, as the police had blocked the bridge. Apparently, the bridge has become pretty popular by people who want to jump of bridges, as an incident like this happened already twelve times since the beginning of April. One person who was in each of these twelve traffic jams, got so upset with it, that he decided to help the bloke on the bridge. He somehow managed to climb on to the bridge himself and pushed the other guy off the bridge. You can see it over here…

Apparently more and more people are being fooled by Russian online dating sites. Russian women asking for money to their internet lovers, receiving the money, then telling their lover boys that they somehow lost it again, and asking the same lovers to send some more money… and they do! Unbelievable.

Well, unbelievable? I received a fax the other day from South Africa. It was written in very poor English, telling me a sad little story about how a husband got slaughtered by the enemy, how the widow had inherited the nice little sum of twenty five million dollars and how she needed my help to get her money out of South Africa in order to invest it in Portugal. She nicely asked my bank details, so she could send me the money, and I could keep a 25% commission of the total sum. Great! She will have to wait a very, very, very long time in order to get my bank account details.

Oh, and to finish off for today, the clip below was recorded a couple of months ago in the Central Station of Antwerp, Belgium. I wish I had been there to see it with my own eyes. For the people who were in the station, this must have been a perfect start of another brilliant day. As today will be brilliant as well. Busy, as usual. Enjoy the clip.
