Jack Ross, Australia's oldest supercentanian and the last living veteran of World War I, died today in one of the private sanatoriums of Victoria. He was 110.
He became a volunteer in 1918, and stayed in Australian military forces after the war was over. Then he joined the allied forces during World War II and was awarded.
After the war he worked at Australian railroads for more than 45 years and retired in 1964. He left a son and a daughter, they are in their eighties, four grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
According to Ross's daughter, her father neither smoked, nor drank throughout his long life. His only weakness was his passion for chocolate.

The Longest Tongue
Look at this bear - what could you do for food? Probably, you would have to possess the longest tongue in the world!
Viva la Patria!
68 years ago the Nazis attacked Soviet Union. A couple of wierd war photos here, not related to soviets, though. Here's a farmer watching a destroyer crash out of his "XAR 658" (donno this brand). And here's a Netherlands officer during occupation. The lack of gas couldn't prevent people from using cars - dig it!
Sable Island - Graveyard Of The Atlantic
Sable Island located in the Atlantic Ocean 180 km southeast of Nova Scotia, Canada, is merely a ship cemetery. An estimated 350 vessels are believed to have fallen victim to the island's sand bars. Thick fogs, treacherous currents, and the island's location in the middle of a major transatlantic shipping route and rich fishing grounds account for the large number of wrecks. The first recorded wreck was in 1583, the most recent in 1999. Few wrecks are visible on the island as the...
Going out
In two days i will leave to Paris for a week. My girls already left to Paris last Sunday to prepare everything they need for their service learning course. They will stay there for a month and doing some projects, while i will be accompanying them just for a week. I will give a seminar there with the audience are from high school. Actually i have never been to France before so i guess it will be fun. So far, the material are 80-85% complete and i only need some final touch before i...
Back home again
After few days without good Internet connection (only via mobile phone with GPRS/HSDPA), i finally tried to use my E71 to connect to the Internet using Nokia PC Suite. My students brought IM2-Broom but it was no good. It was very slow here. At last, i finally visited Bunaken, one of the most wanted place to visit due to WOC event last month. It was very good, but sadly, there were still too many trashes on the sea. It would be better if the local government sweep the area...
Keyboard Problem Solved
After playing with Windows for a night, finally i have decided to go back to Linux and trying to solve the keyboard problem which caused the keyboard is not detected on LILO prompt, thus i can't select Linux because it's located on the second entry. In fact, the keyboard is detected on BIOS checking, but not in LILO, so there got to be a problem there. I opened the BIOS and finally discovered that the USB Keyboard Support is disabled. I remembered this settings was turned off...
Don't Judge Upon The Appearance - Marilyn Monroe Was Blonde
It's not true that all blondes are stupid. At least this one was quite brainy - judge upon the picture, not the appearance. Marilyn Monroe was number one intellectual blonde in the world. I am the second. Though I'm yet about to read Ulysses...
Special Thanks tp Larissa Gus - With Faith In Humanity
Yesterday my younger cousin noticed an unusual "thanks" note in the streets of Totonto. A happy patient thanked nurse Larissa Gus for helping him to recover after he had fallen off his bike. The note was attached to a newsstand. Charming, isn't it?
Yo! Hello, Doctor Emmett Brown!
Yup, men! Just yesterday I saw this wild thing on the streets of my home town! I could not imagine I would ever see such a thing when I was a little boy back in 1985. That is when I first saw Robert Zemeckis's "Back To The Future". And now I got it, babe! Well, it's not DeLorean DMC-12 , but still... It looks very cool and futuristic. Despite it's 2009 and the future yet never to come up as we had seen it in the movie.
Augustin Volcano, Alaska - Jee, it's terrific!
Thanks to Google Maps, this one can even be observed from inside ! It's really terrific and marvelous! It's like magnetic. Jee, I think I've got an obsession. I gotta go to Alaska for a weekend! More volcano pics here .
Ghost Riders In the Sky - Naturally!
Hey, men! Yesterday I came across this weird thing. And the sky opened wide, and two electrolyzed eyes came scanning the the Earth, shining like two crazy extraterrestral diamonds... What was it, actually - just the hole in the sky, or...?
Google: Do Not Be Evil
Google's mantra is "Don't be evil," which as corporate mottoes go is the equivalent of "Build an eternal bonfire in the parking lot and fuel it with thousand-dollar bills and the occasional Gutenberg Bible." The worldwide market for evil is stratospheric, and Google is uniquely positioned to take advantage of it. They've made some halting inroads in China, but economists -- many of whom are themselves evil -- estimate that if Google abandoned its...
Nice People Take Drugs!
The drugs work! At least London authorities hope that this controversive slogan - "NICE PEOPLE TAKE DRUGS" - will help the majority of youngsters to keep off the bad habit. One in three adults in the UK have taken them, as have the last three US presidents, so it's time to remove the stigma around drugs, and talk openly towards more effective, safer policy. Now famous London double-deckers will run with the slogan written wide on their sides!...
