THE HIT LIST - our incredible but true story series:- Serie 7

1. Awesome art of mother-nature:

Is there any artist like mother nature? Is it when it chooses to make the sky the canvass or the seas or some mountain side. In this story the object of adore of mother nature is a tree which it had sculptured into a very delicate piece of fine art. Can you imagine the intricate weaving that went into this and the beautiful thing about the art is that it was done with a living tree - so it is all organic! Were this piece of art to be in Soethbys', Icheoku bets it will be a collector's item ranging in the millions of dollars but unfortunately a tree grows where-ever it pleases or better still in the yard or farm of whoever plants it. Going back to the first allusion that a tree grows wherever it pleases, this blogger have witnessed a tree-grower who could not grow a tree in a particular location despite the desire to so do. Anyway this piece of art is not in any gallery or private collector's home, so enjoy the sight - Happy viewing!

Meet Mr. No Face! What would you do if you are faceless or wakes up one

Where do you do your privates? Do you have a toilet in your house or do you go the old fashioned way - take it to mother nature in a little shrub coverings or behind a tree? If you have a contraption for a toilet seat is it comfortable? Does it sing, warm up your behind or massage it while you do your business?

This is what Icheoku calls, state of the art and if you have one, advertise it!

FYI: Until next Sunday when we come your way again, always remember what you pray for? The notorious American Taliban Fundamentalist James Dobson's Focus on the Family group prayed to their "god" to send down rain to mar Barack Obama's open-air acceptance speech at Invesco Stadium in Denver. However their "god" was sleeping and could only wake up after the beautiful convention speech was long over. Now it is answering their prayers late with Hurricane Gustav to stop their own evil Republican Convention slated for Monday, September 1, 2008 at Minneapolis! Who says "gods" do not answer prayers? The way to go, James Dobson and crew!
