A fungus is eating away all of our bananas! Its not a joke, its a true fact that is known to the banana growing community for years now. The Panama Disease fungus converts the yellow-creamy bananas into a brick-red fruit that is inedible. And the worse part is that there is no cure for it. Scientists expect that within 10-30 years there will be no more bananas in the world.

Till this yellow fruit gets extinct you can enjoy new ways of pealing a banana like this guy in a Japanese TV show:

Emo War In Mexico

Strange times in Mexico for the Emo. The Anti-Emo have declared a war against them and attacks are constantly reported in Mexico and Guadalajara. The situation seems to be out of hand as the government had to make a public announcement and call both sides to unity! The enemy of Emo’s in Mexico are apparently all other groups of youths.

The reason that youths are against them is that Emo do not live like normal youngsters. Emo do not drink, laugh, they become emotional, cry etc.

The Mexican Emo do not sit down and do nothing. They organize protests in the streets and try to preserve their right to express them self’s the way they want to.

See a video from the Mexican TV.

Computers Are Now Allowed In Cuba

Today I learned two things. First the new Cuban president allows his citizens to have electronic equipment and second is that till now it was not allowed. Only companies and foreigners were allowed to have a TV and a computer. All DVD’s were held in customs.

The new president made this move, according to Reuters, to bring his people closer to him. Every Cuban can now own a Plasma TV and if they survive the cultural shock then they can try buying a computer.

To get an Air Condition they need to wait a bit due to the high demand in electricity.

The Hulu is one of the most talked about sites of the last few months and it is coming out of its Beta edition. It is a project run by Fox and NBC-Universal, through which anyone can see almost all TV series, but only if you live in America.

Again, as it happened with Pandora, the rest of the world will stay away from a wonderful project because of corporate policies.
