Actually, I think 'covert' digicams are so much better!
Imagine if a really good digicam was made to resemble a cellphone... that will enable you to snap photos very conveniently!
For instance, in a bookstore / supermart / restaurant, when you want to snap photos and not be embarrassed by the store staff asking you not to take photos. -

St Francis Xavier and the Crabs
St. Francis Xavier visited Malacca four times in the 16th. Century. On one of his visits, the story goes he lost his crucifix at sea when he calmed the water during a heavy storm.
Fr. Francis Xavier was travelling from one island to the next in the natives boats and on that particular day there was a big storm and his boat nearly capsized. He held the crucifix in his hand and said a prayer, and then he dipped the crufix in the rough sea which immediately calmed down and the storm went away. But, unfortunately, his crucifix fell to the bottom of the sea. The next day while praying for its return he was surprised to see a crab crawling up the beach to him holding his crucifix in its claws. With great joy he picked up the crucifx and blessed the crab, and the crab disappeared towards the the calm sea. On the shell of this species of crab, there is a distinct sign of the cross. Until today they are still found in the Straits of Malacca, but the Portuguese fisherman believe they are holy and won't eat them. -

Hmmm.......how did I missed this post?Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:Good morning, LS!
Hope you enjoyed your badminton game last night, even if you were a bit rusty.
I used to play badminton actively when I was growing up in Singapore, but have not touched a raquet since, oh, 1989.
What's the deal with you getting kicked out of SGF so often? Perhaps Rhonda can shed some light on the problem, since she is, after all, a moderator.
I got into the office about half an hour late today as there was a pretty serious 6-vehicle accident on the freeway that caused traffic to be backed up quite a bit. There were several ambulances at the scene, so there apparently were injuries.

Oh, I was yakking more than I was playing. Hubby said my net service is fault so I went to chat up with this US Senior (over 55) doubles champ. I need practice lah.....and perhaps badly. There were only two ladies in the group and honestly, I do feel out of place. I am considering withdrawing.
Oh, today is better. I could tell something is amiss yesterday because the reaction time was slow. But it seems okay today. Perhaps it's my PC or the adware?
Huh? Six vehicle accident? And the white powder hasn't descend? At least you had that accident as an excuse. It took me an hour to work yesterday...because of the rain so traffic was moving slower than usual.
So, what's for lunch today? Before you ask mine, let me tell you it's the same thing as yesterday. -

dude trying to get an artifact on a stained glass floor fell through it and ended up smashed
but the opening sequence of Alias is damned cool.. all the different disguises of Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Gardner) is something else
in other news, Jamie Cullum's new album is pretty good but it's more of the same -
