Singapore scientists looking for ways to transmit the sense of touch over the Internet have devised a vibration jacket for chickens and are thinking about electronic children’s pyjamas for cyberspace hugs.

A 24-YEAR-OLD systems engineer in Kuching has allegedly shared his drug-taking experiences in his blog, detailing the substances, and how to get an enhanced high.

The blog, according to the reader, had developed into an information exchange platform for drug users.

I’m sure deep in his mind somewhere he must be pretty glad he’s not in Singapore.
