Poke! Farewell to victims of Slacks Creek house fire;

Thought I should do a little change to the format for the Poke entries. I want to clean it up to make the news and my comments to look clearer.

Funeral service held yesterday for Slacks Creek house fire victims [Courier Mail]
Earlier back in August, a house fire has completely destroyed a family at Logan. Today, the farewell has to be done.

A FUNERAL service for a mother and her five children who perished in the Slacks Creek house fire last month has commenced in Mt Gravatt this morning.

Indeed a very sad day for the community, and the Samoan family has to send their loved ones to their last resting place. People dresses in black, some extended families dresses in Samoan traditional clothing while the crowd places their flowers and give their tributes by attending the funeral. Around 1500 people were gathered outside Mount Gravatt's Hillsong Church. May the victims rest in peace.

Sex went wrong! [Courier Mail]

In Rome, Italy, a BDSM performed by a man to 2 girls has ended up killing one of them! She was died of suffocation when Soter Mule strangled her with a rope. Also there is another woman in the same scene where she participated being tied together as well.

It is alleged the two women were tied tightly together with the same rope. When the unnamed woman fainted, Ms Caputo was suffocated.

Dodgy sex is dodgy. I think no one wants to be killed whilst enjoying the pleasure of sex, right? Why does this BDSM exist in the first hand anyway? I guess sometimes people are having too much things in their mind.

Comics based on the voice of PhD students coming to theatres [Wired.com]

One thing that PhD student has, is lazy between research and more research. One source of spending their time is to read PhD Comics, have a crack, and get back to their boring work. But now, the group behind the comics are planning to move these into the big screen of cinemas.

LOL. Being a research student is hard!

While graduate students everywhere were waiting impatiently for a new comic strip, the reason for idleness was soon revealed: Jorge teamed up with some uber geeks at Caltech to produce a live-action film adaptation of his comics — the popular comic characters Cecilia, Mike Slakenerny, Tajel, and the Nameless Grad Student finally come to life, their roles played by real-world grad students.

Well, I'm not really sure if that's a good idea, putting a comic into a film. Seeing that most of the superhero comics are turning into movies in Hollywood and I hated all of them, I am a bit skeptical about this trend.
