Get Dunked and Bee Costume

I work as a Software Engineer in Performance Team at VMware Inc. And, we have a tradition in Performance Team: Whoever getting married get dunked into the turtle pond.

Well, one week before I leave going back to Turkey for the wedding, I have been forced to enjoy the pool and become a closer friend with turtles.

But, humiliation wasn't ended there, I have been given a bee costume after the dunk. It was brutal, but I truly loved it.

Thanks to the Performance Team for the best wishes...

Hunting Mad Honey of Nepal

Here, I have found an amazing documentary, "Hunting Mad Honey", May 2014:

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_b2i_FvYPw

It's original name is "Les Chasseurs de Miel Fou". It tells a story about a tribe in Nepal hunting mad honey, which is a wild honey with natural psychoactive properties. It is being used as a medicine and also as a soft drug.

Here is couple of pointers to mad honey:

• Psychoactive/inebriating properties  of honey, by Christian Rätsch.
• An indispensable toxin known for 2500 years: victims of mad honey, by Ayşe Semra Demir Akca and Fatih Ozan Kahveci.
