While you know that eating chocolate and exchanging cards are in full force come February 14, you may not know about these interesting V-Day facts:

In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week, coining the term, "to wear your heart on your sleeve."

Europeans in the Middle Ages believed that birds chose their mates each year on February 14. Some people believed that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man but be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire.

Some people said that if you found a glove on the road on Valentine's Day, your future beloved would have the matching glove.

A Slovak man trapped in his car under an avalanche freed himself by drinking 60 bottles of beer and urinating on the snow to melt it.

Rescue teams found Richard Kral drunk and staggering along a mountain path four days after his Audi car was buried in the Slovak Tatra mountains.

He told them that after the avalanche, he had opened his car window and tried to dig his way out.

But as he dug with his hands, he realised the snow would fill his car before he managed to break through.

He had 60 half-litre bottles of beer in his car as he was going on holiday, and after cracking one open to think about the problem he realized he could urinate on the snow to melt it, local media reported.

He said: "I was scooping the snow from above me and packing it down below the window, and then I peed on it to melt it. It was hard and now my kidneys and liver hurt. But I'm glad the beer I took on holiday turned out to be useful and I managed to get out of there."

Parts of Europe have this week been hit by the heaviest snowfalls since 1941, with some places registering more than ten feet of snow in 24 hours.

From Croatia: Dog Gives Flasher His Come-Uppance
Zagreb - A drunken Croat flasher got more excitement than he bargained for when he pushed his penis through a woman's fence and her dog bit it, local newspapers said on Friday.
The visibly drunk man was walking down the street and started swearing and shouting at the woman for no reason. He then shoved his penis through her fence, unaware her dog was on the other side, police said.
The bitten man himself reported the incident to the police.
The 36-year-old was taken to hospital with light injuries but later sent home. He will be charged with "insulting the moral feelings of citizens" and "violation of public order."

Meanwhile, in the UK: Thief runs into 20 off-duty policemen on golf course
A suspected thief found himself in a hole when he fled a crime scene and ran straight into a police golf tournament.
The 30-year-old sped across the 13th fairway to hide, but was instead confronted by 20 off-duty policemen.
They spotted the suspect dashing towards undergrowth and gave chase after a police helicopter circled overhead, at the course near Chesterfield.
A police spokeswoman said: "The officers were taking part in a golf tournament when they saw the man dashing across the course.
"He seemed to be acting suspiciously and once the force helicopter was seen overhead, four of them gave chase and detained him."
The officers detained the suspect at Tapton Golf Course in the incident last week until a police car arrived to take the man to a local police station.
Police confirmed that a man has since been charged with burglary and theft and has been remanded in custody by magistrates in Chesterfield.

Mommy and Clyde
A young man asked his mother to drive him to the bank without telling her he planned to rob it. He told her to wait while he went inside to conduct his business. A few minutes later junior came running out with the cash, only to find that mom had parked the car and gone inside a nearby grocery store to do some shopping.


Smile, you're on Candid Camera!
A Cleveland drug dealer decided to impress his friends by hiring a limousine for a big night on the town. His first stop was at a posh suburban residence to sell some cocaine to a rather influential individual. Hoping to earn a little extra profit by blackmailing his wealthy customer, the crook handed a camcorder to the limo driver and asked him to record the event for posterity. The driver, a moonlighting member of the Cleveland Police Department, was happy to comply.


The trooper and juggler
The car was pulled over by a highway patrolman for speeding.
As the officer was writing the ticket, he noticed several machetes in the car.
"What are those for?" he asked suspiciously.
"I'm a juggler," the man replied. "I use those in my act."
"Well, show me," the officer demanded.
The juggler took out the machetes and started juggling them; first three, then more until he was tossing seven at one time, overhand, underhand, behind the back, putting on a dazzling show in the breakdown lane and amazing the officer.
Just then, another car passed by. The driver did a double take, and said, "My God. I've got to give up drinking! Look at the test they're giving now."

As Brad didnt know what discount brand means. Here is my explanation:
discount brand is a cheap or low quality brand... (I thought this must exist, even if i dont have any marketing at all and i got one of my worst marks for the marketing course i had to take ... lol)

And after googleing i found the following defintions: discount brand: a rare entity, this is a brand, such as a discount warehouse, where its equity depends on perceived low price, i.e. good value.

London Business School uses the same definition...

Disount brand 1

Discount brand 2


I hope you know now what a discount brand is??

Rebound Exercise

Experience the relaxing effects of Zero Gravity,
enhance your vision, strengthen and cleanse
every cell of your body through the miracle of...

"Children seem to instinctively know that the 'bounce-ability' of a bed or couch has health giving benefits. Just like the bounce-able bed, rebound exercise uses three natural forces, gravity, acceleration and deceleration to strengthen and cleanse every cell of the body, all at the same time. Think about that . . every cell, not just certain muscles, get stronger and toxins are removed from everywhere simultaneously. Now, what other form of exercise can do that? " Linda Brooks, certified reboundologist
The miracle of rebound exercise was first discovered by Albert Carter in 1977 and confirmed by Kenneth Cooper's Institute of Aerobic Research. Scientists at NASA, the American National Aeronautics and Space Administration conducted controlled research and confirmed it to be "the most effective exercise yet devised by man." It is 68% more effective than jogging, but minus the shock and damaging effects on the joints and back.

You may be wondering why such a simple exercise can be so effective. With every gentle bounce, all 75 trillion cells of the body are pitted against gravity, acceleration and deceleration. This interaction strengthens and cleanse every cell while saving strain on muscles and joints. As all the cells in your body become stronger and healthy, you naturally become healthy too.

The rebounding action also activates the lymphatic flow and enhances the immune system which is vital for defense against foreign bacteria, viruses and malignant or cancerous cells. Bouncing on a well-built devise like the Needak Probounder 2000 will not hurt your joints or back as the special springs absorb 90% of the shock. In fact, rebounding stimulates regeneration and help your body to heal and remain young.

Since 1977 thousands of users around the world had experienced one or more of the following therapeutic effects by using the Needak Probounder 2000 that Carter designed with a team of engineers:
• Improves vision
• Improves balance, coordination, dexterity and endurance (enhances sports performance)
• Lowers cholesterol and triglycerides
• Tones muscles, supports glandular system
• Improves conditions related to arthritis, cancer, osteoporosis and other degenerative diseases
• Improves varicose vein and bladder control
• Improves memory, learning abilities and enhance alpha states for better programming
• Improves sagging and wrinkling of skin
• Increase metabolism and burns more calories


Unlike other exercises which target only certain sets of muscles, aerobic rebounding is a whole-body exercise. It builds up every cell and muscle, including cells of the brain, eyes, internal organs, tissues, ligaments and bones. After bouncing 5 weeks for 15 minutes, twice a day, I experienced a healing of my once-broken right ankle bones that had been aching for 20 years.

Rebounding may just be the answer to your health or exercise programme. Five to 15 minutes 2 to 3 times a day, will keep you healthy and fit. No outfit is needed. Just step on and enjoy. The rebounder is being used successfully in the training of Olympic athletes and sportsmen. So whatever game you take, it will enhance and carry you to a higher level of performance.

About 20 years ago, the Hong Kong Government invited Albert Carter to show its police force and firemen how to keep fit at their work-place using rebound exercise. A team of engineers were assigned to him and they came up with the best design ever that came to be known as the Probounder 2000. The Hong Kong government purchased 20,000 units.

The amazing benefits of rebound exercise has been proven by researches and thousands of users in schools, gyms, hospitals, rehab centres, homes, offices, factories and even board rooms around the world. Indeed it is being recognised by health professionals as the bottom line for health and fitness. It is the Ultimate exercise today and of the of the future.
