This is totally tech unrelated, but I know a lot of you are keen to here the latest on …. my mother’s weed bush.

My brother kindly sent the latest photo of the little guy, and wow has he grown! Where there is a will there is a way, and this little guy definitely has a will.

He has been almost completely chowed by our dog, but still fought for his little life. A couple months later he is blossoming into quite a studly fella.

The question is though, is he a he, or is he actually a she?

“Marijuana plants are either male or female. The male plants produce pollen which pollenates the flowers of the female plant, which once pollenized, produce seeds. If the female plant isn’t pollenized (if there are no male plants nearby producing pollen), the flower/buds continue to develop and produce THC. Female plants which are not pollenized are referred to as sensemilla (without seeds).

When a male enters the stage of flower development, the tips of the branches where a bud would develop will start to grow what looks like a little bud (little balls) but it will have no white hairs coming out of it. Females will have no balls and will have small white hairs.” (Courtesy of 420Concept)

Boet will you please study the above mentioned and let me know the diagnosis. I don’t think our little guy has balls, (…haha…), so either he is a tranny or we have got to give our little lady friend a new name.

My dad assured me it was ok to post a feminist article on my blog, in his words, “I thought real men were so confident of their sexual status that it was highly cred to show a glimpse of a (small) amount of the feminine side” He went on to say that his DNA “has a reasonable feminine side but OF COURSE a much bigger masculine one“.

I wouldn’t mind attending a couple of these courses, the parking course is of great interest.

It’s friday so a little bit of fun is aloud.

Unearthing the world’s talent, “Google Idol is a new online competition for the many talented (and not so talented) people out there who have been waiting for their moment of fame. The competition puts publicly submitted videos from Google Video in a head-to-head knockout tournament of 4 heats and 2 semi finals leading up to the grand final when a winner is announced.”

You have to watch the Chinese Gymnast-looking fella’s video. These guys call themselves… The Back Dormitory Boys, and to me look like the clear winners of the lip-sync grand final, with “As long as you love me”. Good on ya guys, I’m sure females are flocking your way!

I was reading News24 this morning and came across this quite entertaining article, I had a little chuckle.

Ouma Erika van Zijl, a 71 year old woman crashed her car into no fewer than nine others at Rand Park Ridge yesterday.

“I came out of the Lifestyle Nursery after I’d been shopping and saw the woman driving slowly into a parking bay in front of the nursery’s main entrance.

“It looked like she wanted to park, but suddenly she put the car into reverse and raced backwards at a helluva speed.

Spun the wheels

“She smashed into a bakkie and a Renault,” said Swanepoel.

“Then she put her car in first gear and drove forward at such speed that she spun the wheels.

“Then she hit a Toyota, but just carried on accelerating and pushed the car until it came to a halt against another car, a Mini Cooper.

“She put the car into reverse gear again and smashed simultaneously into a Pajero and an Opel Corsa.

“A security guard at the Lifestyle Nursery eventually turned up and pulled her car keys out of the ignition,” said Swanepoel.

Soon after the accident, the elderly woman was taken by ambulance to a clinic in Johannesburg.

Poor lil lady, hope she is ok. Maybe she should contemplate coming out of retirement and opening a bumper car pavilion.
