And you thought princesses (or any member of the royal family for that matter) are the ones who are considered as the “untouchables” of society.

But unfortunately, members of the royal family are also human and because of that, are also susceptible to peer pressure and other societal problems.

This is the case with Japan’s Princess Aiko, where it was reported that she was bullied at school that she was attending.

First was Haiti, and now it’s Chile.

If you’ve been closely watching the news, Chile was hit with a 8.8 magnitude earthquake that caused damaged to property deaths to several people. According to Yahoo.com, the Chile quake affected around 1.5 million Chileans, and around 500,000 homes were affected or destroyed by this tremendous earthquake.

I read in one science book back in college that people have different thresholds in sleeping (I read wide topics of books back in college. I remember going to the library just to spend a day reading any book that strike my attention ). Some can go for not less than 4 hours and not more than 6 hours, while some can go as long as 10 hours.

But I just recently discovered that some people can sleep for days before waking up. Whoah, now that’s something.

People with long sleeping thresholds are know to have been affected with Klein-Levin syndrome.

What is Klein-Levin syndrome?

Yeah I know that this video’s overdue, but what the heck. I felt like posting this video because of the “funny” factor it brought to me when I watched it. haha

If you can remember, President Barrack Obama was recently awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. It’s as if blessings came flooding to the first black American President; first the presidential seat of the United States, and now a Nobel Peace Prize.

But don’t you think the word “Peace” in the title of the prize contradicts with the “War” the Obama administration is undergoing in Afghanistan?

That’s where this parody strikes in. Check out the video below.
