Nice-Jobseeker cites God as a reference on his CV

 

The careers website questioned 700 companies, who revealed an absolute treasure trove of blunders by potential candidates.Well; they were potential up until the point where bosses read their CVs.One candidate boldly claimed that his experience included being Master Of Time And Universe while another listed the Vikings as his direct descendants.

There can be few jobs, surely, where it would be necessary to include such a flamboyant piece of fiction. At present, there are no firms needing to fill any Pillager-in-Chief roles. At least not that we know of.Others took a less imaginative route to completely ruining their chances of employment. One person simply listed their name and address and wrote underneath it: ‘I want a job.’obviously that’s not really the way to sell yourself. And neither is using an email address called ‘lovesbeer’. Or specifically pointing out, as one job hunter did, that he 'was not a gypsy'. What employers do want, according to the survey, are applications that highlight a track record in problem solving, efficient communication skills and computer-software know-how.

Very Busy-Man has 39 wives, 94 kids

GUWAHATI, India - The more, the merrier is certainly true for Ziona Chana, a 66-year-old man in India’s remote northeast who has 39 wives, 94 children and 33 grandchildren — and wouldn’t mind having more. They all live in a four storied building with 100 rooms in a mountainous village in Mizoram state, sharing borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh, media reports said. “I once married 10 women in one year,” he was quoted as saying. His wives share a dormitory near Ziona’s private bedroom and locals said he likes to have seven or eight of them by his side at all times. The sons and their wives, and all their children, live in different rooms in the same building, but share a common kitchen. The wives take turns cooking, while his daughters clean the house and do washing. The men do outdoor jobs like farming and taking care of livestock. The family, all 167 of them, consumes around 91 kg (200 pounds) of rice and more than 59 kg (130 pounds) of potatoes a day. They are supported by their own resources and occasional donations from followers. “Even today, I am ready to expand my family and willing to go to any extent to marry,” Ziona said.

Very New-Spider Venom better than Viagra

Most of us get a little excited when we see a big spider, but for the unfortunate few who fall victim to the bite of the daunting Brazilian wandering spider, that “excitement” takes on a whole new meaning: The venom of the wandering spider -- also known as the banana spider (or more formally Phoneutria nigriventer) causes erections in men.

“The venom of the P. nigriventer spider is a very rich mixture of several molecules,” says Dr. Kenia Nunes, a physiologist at the Medical College of Georgia who is currently studying the odd side effect. “These molecules are called toxins, and then we have various toxins in this venom with different activity. Because of this, when a human is bitten by this spider, we can observe many different symptoms including priapism, a condition in which the penis is continually erect.”
