Why Men Wear Earrings

Did you ever wonder why earrings became so popular with men?


A man is at work one day when he notices that his co-worker is wearing an earring.


The man knows his co-worker to be a normally conservative fellow, and is curious about his sudden change in "fashion sense"


The man walks up to him and says, "I didn't know you were into earrings."


"Don't make such a big deal, it's only an earring," he replies sheepishly.


His friend falls silent for a few minutes, but then his curiosity prods him to ask, "So, how long have you been wearing one?"


"Ever since my wife found it in my truck."


(I always wondered how this trend got started)

Good advice

Temporary rules

Not sure what this says about British guts.... or lack of wisdom in playing golf during a time of war! Either way it's interesting to note that it was probably this spirit that helped get Britain through the bad times! For those not familiar with the layout of England, Richmond would have been rather close to the heavy bombing that was going on at the time of the 'Blitz'.

For Holloween - Panic Attack

A producer from Uruguay who uploaded a short film to YouTube in November 2009 has been offered a $30m (£18.6m) contract to make a Hollywood film.

The movie will be sponsored by director Sam Raimi, whose credits include the Spiderman and Evil Dead films.

Fede Alvarez's short film "Ataque de Panico!" (Panic Attack!) featured giant robots invading and destroying Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay.

It is 4 mins 48 seconds long and was made on a budget of $300 (£186).

So far it has had more than 1.5 million views on YouTube.

"I uploaded (Panic Attack!) on a Thursday and on Monday my inbox was totally full of e-mails from Hollywood studios," he told the BBC's Latin American service BBC Mundo.

"It was amazing, we were all shocked."

The movie Mr Alvarez has been asked to produce is a sci-fi film to be shot in Uruguay and Argentina. He says he intends to start from scratch and develop a new story for the project.

"If some director from some country can achieve this just uploading a video to YouTube, it obviously means that anyone could do it," he added.
