Upcoming fight- Amir Khan vs Zab Judah on July 23rd 2011

The fight for the light-welterweight world title will see Britain's Amir Khan facing the US southpaw Zab Judah on July 23 at Las Vegas.

Khan, holding the World Boxing Association version of the division will risk the same against Judah, who owns the International Boxing Federation title. Khan, 25-1 with 17 knockouts will fight for his title with Judah, who is 41-6 with 28 knockouts.

In 2005, Judah became the undisputed welterweight world champion. And last March, he took the vacant IBF light-welterweight title by knocking out South Africa's Kaizer Mabuza, in the seventh round.

Khan on the other hand, in December, edged Argentina's Marcos Maidana in a unanimous decision in Las Vegas bout. It has been voted as the best fifth of 2010 by American boxing writers.

Khan vs Judah will be broadcast live on Primetime pay-per-view, channel 480 on Sky.

Snakes on a train!

Yes its true this is no Hollywood movie!! - Railway officials have discovered snakes on a train in Vietnam - highly venomous king cobras in bags under a seat.

Railroad official Pham Quynh says passengers were terrified when four cloth bags containing the writhing cobras were spotted Friday. The snakes were alive but had their mouths stitched shut. The exact number of snakes was unclear.

Security staff removed the cobras, which were likely destined for restaurants in Hanoi. Their owner apparently escaped in the chaos. Snake meat is considered a delicacy in Vietnam, but cobras are protected by law.

The cobras were given to forest rangers who released them into the wild on Saturday after no one claimed them.

Fun Food Facts part2:

The tomato (all 9 000 varieties of it) is the most popular fruit in the world. Surprisingly, the banana is the second most popular.





Although a apple a day will not necessary keep the doctor away, apparently an apple in the morning is far more effective at keeping you awake than a cup of coffee. Plus they are 25% air so it should full you up while not weighing you down.

Creature of the month: Kuhli Loach


The Kuhli Loach (Pangio kuhlii) is a small eel-like freshwater fish belonging to the loach family (Cobitidae). It originates in Indonesia and the Malay Peninsula. This snake like creature is very slender and is nocturnal. You can buy it at any pet shop, they retail for about R35 each.

The kuhli loach will live for several years in an aquarium in which it is the only fish of its kind, but it seldom comes out in the open and cannot be enjoyed for its comical actions. If it is kept in small groups (I like to keep at least a half dozen together), the kuhli loach will be seen swimming in and around piles of rocks, under and over pieces of driftwood or around the stems of plants. It will be out looking for food, playing tag with its friends or simply "sunning" itself on a raised object in short, it will act more like it would in the wild.

When breeding, the females often become monstrously fat and their greenish ovaries can be seen through the skin before spawning. Spawning is not easy, but when it occurs a few hundred greenish eggs are laid among the roots of floating plants. Kuhli loaches reach maturity at 2 ¾ inches (7 cm) and have a maximum length of 4 inches (10 cm). They natively live in a tropical climate and prefer water with a 5.5 - 6.5 pH-but will tolerate 7.0 pH in aquaria, a water hardness of 5.0 dGH, and a temperature range of 75 - 86 °F (24 - 30 °C). Kuhli Loaches are scavengers, so they will eat anything that hits the bottom. Kuhli loaches usually feed in the night time, but can be taught to be fed in the day in the home aquarium. Breeding in captivity requires plenty of hiding spaces and consistent water quality.

You’ve seen iPods transformed into everything from earrings to tongue piercings (all jokes, presumably), but thanks to the new design of the iPod Nano, one concept has actually come to fruition. Check out the iPod Nano watch bands, wristbands that are designed to neatly accommodate an iPod Nano onto the center of it.

iLoveHandles, which currently only carries one product, the said Nano watch band. You can grab one of these for about $20, or check out the more colorful (and cheaper) ones at CountryComm, ranging from $9 to $22.
