It probably is true and Michael Jackson knew what type of life that child would of led if the media know about his existence. If you look at how protective he was of his other known children, then the answer is clear. Michael Jackson had the an easier option to hide this child in comparison to his other children. I totally agree with you, I'm not surprised at all.

This is a great idea, it really gets the community involved with the website. The prize is alright as well. Should get some good advertisement revenue coming in.I would enter this competition myself, but I don't really have the time at the moment. Good luck to all those who do enter!Good idea Xisto.

Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia Can you even say it?
Forbez replied to BooZker's topic in General Discussion
Try to say it ten times fast? I can't even say it once. It looks like a made up word where someone has just hit random keys on their keyboard and added phobia to the end.I can honestly say I don't know anyone with Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.Good find though. -
Bill Gates Is No Longer The Richest Man In The World
Forbez replied to Saint_Michael's topic in General Discussion
Bill is still the richest man in my eyes. Just a sign of the times really. But I doubt Bill Gates is affected that much, he still has tons of money left. -
I'm not 100% sure about this video. I showed it to my friends and a few said it could simply be a shadow or reflection - some natural occurrence which in this instances looks strange. My other friends believe it is Michael Jackson guarding his house or still try to get away from the glorious world of fame and paparazzi. I personally would love to think it is Michael Jackson, I was a huge fan of his and I still am. But I'm a logical man and I don't believe in ghosts, so I would say it's just one of those random occurrences which at first look mystical and can't be explained but at second glance can be explained by science.It's an interesting video, interpret it how you please.

I couldn't believe it when I found out, it was so surreal. I found out via people's status on Facebook. When the news came out initially they thought he had only had a heart attack. Then TMZ.com was the only site to confirm Michael Jackson's death before anyone else. Massive arugments brewed on Facebook which made people divided but still united in the fact that they'll miss Michael Jackson.One set of people denied that Michael Jackson had died and chose to believe he was alright and would make it through the heart attack. Whilst another set of people believed that he was dead. What I found extremely annoying was the people who made jokes, before it was even confirmed he was dead. I found that really disrespectful.I'd just like to say Michael Jackson was King of pop and a truly remarkable singer and dancer. He done loads of the music industry and blessed everyone with his music. Rest in peace Michael, we all miss you deeply.

Yeah, I got told about this by my Business teacher. It's quite strange really. when the new coins came out I had a phase where I tried to collect all the new coins to make the coats of arms. I managed to get all pieces except for the 50 pence piece and the two pound coin. But I remember getting loads of the new 10 pence pieces and 20 pence pieces. If I had known what I did now, I would of checked them for the date.I could of been rich right now. My mum is the manager of a store and when she heard this news she's got all staff checking for the 20 pence coins. No luck find any so far.

Futurama To Be Cryogenically Un-frozen For Another Season
Forbez replied to k_nitin_r's topic in General Discussion
YES! I am so happy. I've always loved Futurama more then all the other cartoons made by Matt Groenin. Family guy is alright, but it doesn't have as strong of a storyline as Futurama had. And The Simpsons has become boring and predictable these days. Futurama was the perfect medium between these two shows and I loved it for that.Still my favourite episode would have to be the episode where we meet Fry's dog from the present (1999) and how the dog waited for him everyday for so long. Beautifully written and a truly remarkable episode. Futurama managed to mix emotional drama with high quality comedy and more importantly, they made it work. Can't wait for the new season, thanks for the post. -
Natural Treatment for eyebag A Natural Treatment That Works?, Neem Trees
Forbez replied to iGuest's topic in Health & Fitness
One solution, is to drink plenty of water. Aim for 8 glasses a day. Ideally, your urine should be completely clear - as clear as water. Make sure you get the right amount of sleep. You're either having to much sleep or to little. Find the right amount of sleep which suits you the best.Some people use cucumber slices and place them over their eyes, I've tried them myself and got a bad reaction with my eyes. So proceed with caution. -

Shot online? A completely different game to what you?re expecting from the title, like a book being named ?Pocket Massage for Stress Relief? being less about surreptitious masturbation and more about a small book of yoga tricks. When I first saw this title I thought ?Great, a free rip-off of Tabula Rasa?, with all due enthusiasm and decided to download it, before prematurely condemning it to the same hell as Knight online and any other free MMO that leaves me wanting. But there we go, ?free?, so no harm in giving it a ?shot?.What first struck me as odd were the lack of weaponry on the homepage and the surplus of golfing equipment. And that?s where I felt like I had been mislead into a game I didn?t want to play, like a bass looking at that brightly coloured bait and thinking ?Lunch?. And what?s more this isn?t just golf; this is ?sexy?, interesting golf, with women wearing tube tops and mini-skirts, rather than the prognostic, comical clothing that comes hand in hand with golf like fat people and sweets. Even the men seem to have had a professional stylist, but I digress.After the initial shock due to the change of game, I casually registered to ?Game Campus?, the game designers? for young people. The download only took approximately 15 minutes, even with my irritatingly slow 2 megabyte internet connection and, being the pessimist I am, I didn?t think ?Good, it only took 15 minutes?, I thought ?Oh great a sure sign for bad graphics and maybe even poor game play?. So after a short install, I took a deep breath and double clicked the oversized golf ball placed upon my desktop? updates. With the updates taking longer than the install, you would think that Game Campus would have updated the client to ease the pain of thumb twiddling for the people that didn?t play it from the start.When I got into the game I realized that this wasn?t actually your run of the mill golf game, meaning it can?t just be replicated in a flash game on Miniclip. This game actually had some sort of thought and grind involved, it was after all an MMORPG. I found the game rather addictive and, whilst it shows no real longevity, it includes features such as guilds, stats, leveling and equipment. But I get the feeling that this game is one of those, ?If you spend money on this ?free? game you get the best stuff?. But this claimed to be a free game and I was damn well determined to keep it that way.However, there is more than one thing to do in Shot online, such as a driving range, putting practice and? Well, so it is essentially a golf game and the only thing to do is golf but that?s why you download it, to play golf. You don?t have to be a fan of golf to play this game or even play golf as its game play is that of reactions and made so even a chimp could make par. At best this game is unimaginative but it has that certain shine to it that stop me hating it any more than I hate paying for games.

Having never been a fan of the whole ?warhammer scene? I wasn?t sure what to expect from warhammer online, also known as WAR. I still had images of spotty faced teenagers rolling dice after dice, in a darkened room, with friends just like them, moving small painted figurine armies, pretending to be a high ruler of the elves and other such role playing, but I digress. None the less, I decided to ring my friends and tell them I wouldn?t be emerging from my bedroom for a few days, this being usual protocol when starting a new mmorpg (massively multiplayer online role playing game), or so I heard from other gamers. So I logged in to my account and made a character. I was drawn to the dark elves of destruction and chose the class called disciple of khaine, which looked like a typical make-up-wearing goth. Within the character selection process there is a lot of choice, there are 2 alliances (realms) and 6 factions to choose from with over 20 classes. Unfortunately, only 10 of these classes differ as they are mirrored over the two alliances, but if it?s any conciliation you can be either male or female, unless you are a green skin, and can change your characters appearance. Entering the world of WAR, I quickly noticed the cartoon like graphics, and with that, the game World of Warcraft sprang to mind. However, I was quickly reassured by every other WAR player on the server that this was nothing like WoW, in the same way that the crusader knights reminded people Islam was nothing like Christianity. I completed a few quests to level and got new skills when I decided to try out the ?innovative PvP system? called the scenario , this is when I realized that it doesn?t matter how great a game is, it matters more who plays it. The PvP was great fun but due to the highly imbalance in the number of people playing certain class types, it resulted in a lot of vexatious whining when people died from not being healed. Another feature offered by Warhammer was the player quest, which was basically an open raid where any player could join in at any point and help complete the objective and at the end be in the dice roll to receive a reward. Depending on how much you helped complete the objectives you would get a boost to your roll to stop people joining towards the end just to claim the rewards. During these PQs, when you complete or partially complete objectives, you obtain influence which can be used to buy things from certain vendors. However this system in itself has its problems, when you want to complete a certain chapter in the PQ you need other players to help you as they are impossible to solo, leaving you waiting for other people to show up to your PQ which can be a very long time. Also, completing a PQ at low level was pointless due to levelling quickly of scenarios rendering the equipment, you spent time obtaining, obsolete. The game, whilst still being relatively new, has a few problems. The servers have a queuing system to stop them being flooded, this means on an over populated server you could be waiting over half an hour to join. This left me overly frustrated after being disconnected from the server after 5 minutes of game play and starting the waiting process all over again. But maybe some people find it fun to have to predict half an hour before when they will want to play WAR so to avoid the queue, I can safely say I am not one of them. Another problem in WAR was the imbalance of people wanting to play Destruction rather than order. A lot more people wanted to play destruction as the developers made the mistake of giving it all of the aesthetic features and making Order from what was left over. This meant that if you were playing Order, you were constantly outnumbered in open RvR (realm versus realm pvp) and, if you were playing Destruction, the scenario queues took a lot longer due to the lack of order to fight. But I have the feeling that after a while this problem might be fixed due to people being sick of waiting for the scenario or server queues, or just wanting a bit of a challenge. Overall this game could have been great but how the developers went about favouring one alliance made the game imbalanced and pretentious. It has a certain appeal and for a while brought some fun and joy but showed no real longevity and so I always felt like putting any effort into the game was a waste of time. I found my experience with this game a little mixed and after enjoying classes for a short while I felt that maybe I would enjoy a different class a lot more and that I was missing out. But after every class change the game showed to be very repetitive and so I started to resent playing, seeing it more like a chore than fun. What I really can?t understand is what all the hype with this game was about, people got frustrated as the game had delay after delay and disappointed when the game they had been waiting so long to play and it hadn?t played up to their expectations. I think the worst problem about the game is the audience it attracted, teenaged gamers who ran around blurting out ?I r pr0 at PvP? like they had self-gratification tourettes syndrome.

So I was trolling through emails and performing daily site checks to keep updated and make sure I don?t miss anything important (sarcasm), when I clicked through my Bebo and Facebook, it was then I realize how ridiculous these sore arsed MySpace rips are. I say sore arsed due to the amount of butt *BLEEP*ing they get from adolescents and anyone else wishing they could still be adolescent, the young at heart. I start with the usual notification check on Facebook, only to be bombarded with tens if not hundreds of requests to join some ridiculous application or quiz that someone, who isn?t really your friend but thought it would be fun to add you anyway, did and think you should as well, so they get more points in some sort of way to further prolong their face plant into the world of boredom. On second thought the only reason I can think they would add such ridiculous applications is to some way crawl out of the pit of boredom, well, either that or in the endeavor of seeking self gratification from people they barely know.So I frantically put my forefinger to use, ignoring every sycophantic application telling me how much of a ?hottie? I am and how much everyone else on Facebook thinks so as well. Feeling no remorse from ignoring every request for a hug sent my way either from a friend or ?Facebook friend?, I proceeded to then wade through the sea of invites brought on by overzealous mouse finger accepting every friend add that pops up, and it?s only then when I came to terms with how many ?friends? on my Facebook I actually knew, for all I know half of them are greasy haired 40 year olds lurking on my profile, clicking through my pictures with a mental hard on.Ignoring the constant orange flashing coming from my tool bar, alerting me of a nothing more than an msn emotion, sent to make a *BLEEP* conversation suddenly controversial and interesting, I click on to my boringly reliable and straight to the point Bebo. Right? Wrong? Bebo decided they would sell out just like Facebook and add the new application function. Great, more cannon fodder for the ignore button, daily interest turned chore. I?ve always defended Bebo, saying its changes wall and overall format certainly outweighs the constant spam of chain mail from MySpace or application crazed Facebook. But even ?Bebo checking? has now become a tedious chore, in an otherwise cascade of internet diarrhea. But even after all this, I still find myself hooked to both websites, kind of like how drunken singer; Amy Winehouse is to crack. So, I continue to indulge in the daily band wagon ride, knowing know that someone, somewhere is designing yet another message based website of self gratification and boredom control, hoping that I don?t get sucked in like a dust ball to a vacuum cleaner. In internal procrastination over the decision to whether or not to delete of my account, like a suicidal on a roof top playing eye spy.

Choose something which is personal to you and you have an intrest in. Then research other websites which are aimed in the same area. If it's a community website about gaming, why not join it. Join the community get a good feel and understanding for the community. Then you can see what they need improving on and what makes them good. Take their ideas and adapt them to fit your style.The key is to have a website which you won't get bored with within a month. Websites take a lot of time and work, as long as your willing to put in the time and work you'll get out what you wanted.

Bring it on I say, Vista is good an all but I don't think it's to soon for another Operating System. If Windows 7 is just vista but dramatically improved, I can't wait. In the majority of software creation they creators stuff in tons of crap without taking time to fix bugs and aim for a faster and more efficient piece of software.Windows is taking the time to improve instead of just moving on, here here for Windows!

Google Keyboard would be awesome, but would it sell a lot? I'm not to sure. The only reason why people buy keyboard are because of two reasons. One, their current keyboard broke or two their a gamer and want the latest gaming keyboard. Google Keyboard would be the first keyboard aimed at everyday casual PC users.Well, not the first but definitely the most controversial. This keyboard is the future and I bloody love this idea. So original and I really hope it does well. You can now type ANYWHERE at ANYTIME in tiny spaces. In fact you can type in the air. Back to Google Keyboard, Google if your reading this. DO IT, your the only company which would be successful doing this.
