Take 1 – No More Knock-Knock Jokes For “The One”
Keanu Reeves, known popularly for his portrayal as Neo or “The One” in the Matrix movies, has denied allegations that he had intentionally knocked down a paparazzi photographer last March .
Reuters reported that the plaintiff had accused Reeves of driving straight into his path to prevent him from photographing the Hollywood actor.
In his defence, Reeves denied the plaintiff’s account of the incident and claimed that the photographer had lost balance walking backwards and fell on his own.
Guess the brooding star won’t be interested in listening to knock-knock jokes any time soon.
Take 2 – Benefits Of Being “In The Red”
Being “in the red” might not be such a bad thing after all.
A report by the BBC stated that researchers from the University of Rochester have discovered that men tend to perceive their dates more positively if they were dressed in red.
The experiment showed that participants were more willing to spend on a date when shown images of women dressed in red, than any other colour.
So ladies, why worry about the economic crisis? As long as you have a red dress, you can get some poor guy to pay for all your meals and drinks.
Take 3 – One Hack Of A Teen
If your idea of a hacker is uni geek with incredibly thick glasses pounding away furiously on his keyboard in a dark dingy room, then you’ll be alarmed to know that the one who just stole your email password is actually just a teen.
The BBC reports that more teenagers are using their home PCs to engage in petty cyber crimes and create viruses. Most want to profit from their illegal online activities but are rarely able to do so due to the lack of necessary skills and knowledge.
This trend certainly gives homework a whole new meaning.
Take 4 – Zeppelin To Take Flight Once More
Legendary rock band Led Zeppelin are slated to produce new material and go on tour once more. The band however, will be without lead singer Robert Plant, who declined to be reunited with his bandmates, according to the BBC.
Led Zeppelin had previously reunited briefly last December for a sellout concert at the O2 Arena in London.
Auditions for a new singer are underway and the band is reportedly looking for someone different from Plant.
So old greying men with queer instant noodle like hair need not apply.
Take 5 – Saying Yes To Facebook At Work
Has your boss banned social networking sites at work? Well, he might change his mind if he knew that allowing employees to surf these sites at the workplace could be beneficial.
British think-tank Demos, believes that employers are better off limiting the amount of time their staff spend on sites, than trying to impose a complete ban on websites like Facebook and YouTube in the office.
In its report, Demos cites that there is a possibility for business growth if companies appropriately harness these networking tools to achieve better office and customer relations.
Guess it’s time to face up to the powers of Facebook.
