India's capital city, New Delhi, is built on the foundations of more than a half-dozen other cities built by previous rulers of the country! Chalermchai Kositpipat spent more than a decade working to build the wat Rong Khun Buddhist temple near Chiang Rai, Thailand, which is decorated with cultural figures comics and movies- in addition to more traditional religious fare. Ooh.. That tickles! Mobile phone company Nokia filed a patent for ferromagnetic body tattoos that would vibrate when receiving alert signals from its phones!

Man, I should get my mother one of those tattoos. At least then she’d pick up the phone more often.

Vibrating tattoos… perfect for the brain dead masses. I wonder what would happen if harikari ever became en vogue.

Can anyone say Permanent Personal Tracking Device? Some of our cool new technologies sound an awful like nascent ‘Big Brother’ culture foundations.

Not only tracking devices, but lets add yet another means to stimulate cancer cells within the body. With all the wireless devices and lack of monitoring the strength of WIFI waves in this country, it’s not a mystery as to why cancer is so prevalent here. Convenience always comes with a price.

When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a capital on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that’s what you’re going to get, Lad, the strongest capital in all of India!
