"I am very glad to hear the news about the abolishment of the Parliament as I have not taken shower for so many days since I arrived here", an MP representing an ethnic party told BSNews. "Now, I am very happy because I can take my shower after I leave here", he said.

As a result of the closure of the parliament, it is seen that all the MPs were leaving for the airport to go back their homes!

Who is (or) Who will be the "President" of Burma??

(Interview with President Than Naing)

Q: How did you become "President Than Naing"?
A: Long time before happening to become "President Than Naing" of Burma, I was a monk. I met my spouse when I was wandering to collect my alms... and we fell in love each other. Then, we married after I converted to become a layman. You know... she is the owner of "President Company" that solely distritutes the monks' requisites.
Being a husband of the owner of "President Company", I was dubbed as "President Than Naing" by my customers. That's my story.

Q: Do you think who will be the future president of Burma after 2010 elections?
A: I see no body. "President" is the trademark of my company and I am "President Than Naing". It will be impossible for others to be called like that.

Moreover, in the article 59 of the constitution of Burma (2008), it is clearly stated as follows.
Qualifications of the President and Vice-Presidents:
-(b) shall be a citizen of Myanmar (Burma) who was born of both parents who were born in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Union and being Myanmar Nationals (Burmese);....

If you observe the article 59, you will find that no one is qualified to become the president of Burma including Sr Gen Than Shwe and current PM Thein Sein. You know, Union of Myanmar (Burma) was established only on the 4th January 1948. Before that, this land was the British territory. Therefore, parents of the presidential candidates were, of course, born inside the British territory- not inside the Union of Burma's territory. As they were not born inside the territory of the Union, it is utterly impossible for them to become the presidents of Burma. I see like that.

According to a news report of Irrawaddy, it is said that MPs were suffered from taking their shower as the water inside the bathrooms of their Guest House was extremely dirty. Until now, MPs have not yet taken their shower.

Therefore, it is definitely sure that there will be different kinds of unpleasant smell inside the Parliament as no MP has taken the shower.

(Photo: Popular)

Two "American Vultures" who entered Burma illegally were expelled by Burmese authorities, "Popular Journal" reported. The Vultures were holding US passport but there was no Visa to enter Burma. They were found in Nyaunglaybin, Pegu Division. "For the sake of friendship between US government and Myanmar, the American Vultures were sent back to USA without sentencing them according to Myanmar Immigration Law"- a senior Burmese officier said.

However, it is reported that some Burmese people who hosted the vultures in their houses were detained. There happened the same event last time when uninvited American Yettaw arrived Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's mansion. At that time, Burmese authorities did nothing on Yettaw but sentenced Daw Aung San Suu Kyi 18 months under house-arrest.

Twitter's founder is a Burmese

(Twitter's Logo)
"Twitter is a Burmese word that is derived from Twot-tee Twitter which is the same meaning in English" said Daw See, a Burmese old lady who is the founder of Twitter Inc in USA.



Her name "Jack Dorsey" is the corrupt-pronounciation of the original Burmese name Daw See.



Having an intention to congratualate the Burmese iT expert and promote Burmese words world-wide, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, pro-democracy leader of Burma expressed her desire to use "Twitter" just before her release from house-arrest.



Ma Zagar Bauk (her name is mistakenly pronounced as Mark Zuckerberg), another Burmese young lady was unhappy for that news as Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was not interested in her Facebook.


"I am upset for that. I think Daw Suu does not want to use my Facebook because it is not a Burmese word", 26-year-old Burmese young lady told Burma Strange News. She emphasized that she will use Burmese names for her next Social Networking Services.

White Elephants woud be cloned in Burma

(Illustrations: the Telegraph)

The woolly mammoth, extinct for thousands of years, could be brought back to life in as little as four years thanks to a breakthrough in cloning technology. This news made the Burmese leader happy. Now, he is thinking to clone white mammoths in Burma.

"We are happy to clone our native-born white elephants or white mamoths in Burma. If we can do that, we can avoide further disturbances from neighbouring countries", a senior Burmese officer told BS News.

Bangladeshi diplomats admitted in November, 2010, that the newest white elephant that was captured in western Burma was sent by the Bangladeshi government with an intention to deviate the trajectory of the cyclone Giri. They said that they received cyclone signal which was targeting Bangladesh. Considering Bangladeshi people to be free from the cyclone disaster, they said, the government of Bangladesh sent a white elephant that was chanted with black magic that carried the cyclone to Burma. One week after the new white elephant was worshipped in Naypyidaw, Cyclone Giri destroyed parts of Burma leaving many people homeless.

New Law for Ghost-Generals


A new law that has recently been introduced together with the Military Conscription Law states that current Burmese generals have the right to keep on serving their duties in their full ranks until the death. It is mentioned in article 3 of the law. Moreover, the reserved armed forces law strongly states in its article 3i that all generals do not need to retire from Burmese military service even after their death. They will be Generals' Generals even though they become Ghosts in their next lives, the law confirmed.

FACEBOOK WILL END ON MARCH 15th!

PALO ALTO, CA –Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be shut down in March. Managing the site has become too stressful.

“Facebook has gotten out of control,” said Zuckerberg in a press conference outside his Palo Alto office, “and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life. I need to put an end to all the madness.”

Zuckerberg went on to explain that starting March 15th, users will no longer be able to access their Facebook accounts.

“After March 15th the whole website shuts down,” said Avrat Humarthi, Vice President of Technical Affairs at Facebook. “So if you ever want to see your pictures again, I recommend you take them off the internet. You won’t be able to get them back once Facebook goes out of business.”

Zuckerberg said that the decision to shut down Facebook was difficult, but that he does not think people will be upset.

“I personally don’t think it’s a big deal,” he said in a private phone interview. “And to be honest, I think it’s for the better. Without Facebook, people will have to go outside and make real friends. That’s always a good thing.”

Some Facebook users were furious upon hearing the shocking news.

“What am I going to do without Facebook?” said Denise Bradshaw, a high school student from Indiana. “My life revolves around it. I’m on Facebook at least 10 hours a day. Now what am I going to do with all that free time?”

However, parents across the country have been experiencing a long anticipated sense of relief.

“I’m glad the Facebook nightmare is over,” said Jon Guttari, a single parent from Detroit. “Now my teenager’s face won’t be glued to a computer screen all day. Maybe I can even have a conversation with her.”

Those in the financial circuit are criticizing Zuckerberg for walking away from a multibillion dollar franchise. Facebook is currently ranked as one of the wealthiest businesses in the world, with economists estimating its value at around 7.9 billion.

But Zuckerberg remains unruffled by these accusations. He says he will stand by his decision to give Facebook the axe.

“I don’t care about the money,” said Zuckerberg. “I just want my old life back.”

The Facebook Corporation suggests that users remove all of their personal information from the website before March 15th. After that date, all photos, notes, links, and videos will be permanently erased.

Burma to introduce mandatory military service

A Burmese Soldier in his Slippers
Burma's military government will introduce a draft for men and women aged 18 and older.

NHK has obtained official documents issued by Burma's military government. The documents show that legislation for mandatory military service was enacted on December 17th.

Men aged between 18 and 45, and women aged between 18 and 35 will be drafted into the army for life-time.

The government requires all people of eligible age, except the physically challenged, to register with local authorities.

Those who fail to register or try to evade the draft face imprisonment for 100 years.

Following last November's general election, the country's first in 20 years, a new parliament is expected to convene as early as the end of January, and establish, in appearance, a civil government.

Analysts say the move indicates the military government's effort to maintain its influence by familiarizing people with the military.

The last-minute decision to introduce the draft system before the new government's inauguration is likely to stir protests from the public.
