Belt up, young men!
Voodoo donuts, the magic is in the hole.
Oregon is full of many bizarre tourist attractions. A fine example comes in the form of “Voodoo Doughnut” at 22 South-West Third Street. When you walk in you’ll see an oversize doughnut sculpture hanging on the wall. In the chiller cabinet big colorful doughnuts are waiting for customers. Open 24 hours a day, Voodoo Doughnut is the brainchild of two entrepreneurs and artists, Tres and Catdaddy. They wanted to open a bar, basically, is how this... how it ended up... and they couldn’t get a liquor licence. It was, like, really hard, and so they were like, “Well, let’s just do doughnuts!” And so they ended up going down to LA and went to Doughnut College, and decided to open up a doughnut shop, and wanted to do something a little bit different, and, you know, they kind of stayed with the bar idea and decided to be open all night, instead of during the day. Prices for these hand-made doughnuts start at under a dollar and go up to nearly five dollars for the most elaborate creations. The menu is constantly changing. You still find lots of All-American ingredients, such as Oreo cookies or grape frosting, and often a good dose of sexual innuendo. Death also features on the Voodoo Doughnut menu. Staff will be more than happy to prepare a coffin full of doughnuts. Sometimes new bands play in the store, there are Swahili lessons and doughnut-eating competitions. And customers can even get married beneath a holy doughnut. Yet Voodoo Doughnut’s pride and joy is the Voodoo Doll, which comes with a stake through its little heart.

rak, random act of kindness.
A random act of kindness is a selfless act performed by a person or people wishing either to assist or to cheer up an individual person or people. The phrase may have been coined by Anne Herber. Random acts of kindness are a means by which we make a deliberate attempt to brighten another person's day by doing something thoughtful, nice, and caring. Kindness is a way of showing others that they count and that, even in the face of hostility and selfishness, you're making a stand for kindness. This concept has become an organized celebration through various events around the world, as well as referring to a general call to action in the name of kindness. And you don't need to wait for someone else to initiate a day or week of celebrations to practice random acts of kindness; you can put them into play any time you like!
How to do rak?
1. Be kind.
2. Be thoughtful.
3. Use your manners as a form of kindness.

- Palindromes.
A palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or other sequence of characters which reads the same backward or forward.
Palindromes have been created for many centuries. Greeks are known to have often inscribed the following onto their fountains:
It means: wash the sin as well as the face. The word "palindrome" was coined by the English playwright Ben Jonson in the 17th century from the Greeks.
Palindromes often consist of a sentence or phrase: "Mr. Owl ate my metal worm", Go hang a salami; I'm a lasagna hog!
They can also be composed by a word: eye, Bob, Anna; or even number: 131, 5885, 989, 232, 6446.

"Friends Forever."
There once lived a mouse and a frog who were very good friends. Every morning the frog would go to visit the mouse who lived in a hole inside a tree. The mouse very much enjoyed the company of the frog, but the mouse didn't realised that the frog was growing increasingly frustrated because it was always him who had to visit the mouse and never the other way around. The lazy little mouse didn't know it at the time, but he was slowly making an enemy of his good friend, the frog. One afternoon, when it was time to return home, the frog decided that he had had enough of this one-sided friendship. And so the frog tied one end of a piece of string to his leg, and then tied the other end of the piece of string to the little mouse’s tail without telling him. The frog said goodbye to the mouse, and then dived into the pond at the foot of the tree far below. All at once, completely to his surprise, the string pulled tight on the mouse’s tail and he was dragged from the safety of his tree and sent tumbling into the air towards the pond below. The poor little mouse can't swim, and as much as he struggled and struggled to free his tail, he could not untie the piece of string. After much splashing and struggling, the poor mouse finally drowned in the pond.
‘That will teach you to make a fool out of me, you lazy mouse,’ said the frog.
But this misdeed did not go unnoticed: high up in the sky, a hawk spotted the little mouse floating in the water below. And so the hungry hawk swooped down towards the pond to grab the little mouse for its dinner. Only on that time the frog remembered he was still tied to the mouse by the piece of string. It was then that the frog realised the error of his ways. In setting a trap for his friend, the frog had also set a trap for himself and sealed his own fate. And now he too would be eaten by the hawk because of his wicked plan.

There is an old African proverb that goes... ‘Do not dig too deep a pit for your enemy because you may fall into it yourself.’
