here's one weird phobia:

Fear of the Happy Birthday song
by KiKi
(East Coast)

Every since I can remember my little brother, now 21 has been afraid of the Happy Birthday song. When he turned 1, I can remember him running behind the sofa in fear of the song. When he turned 2 he did the same thing.

Now that he has turned 21 today he is still running (not behind the sofa), and I thought that maybe he would grow out of it, but he didn't. I am not for sure if there is a name for this phobia, but if there is would someone please let me know. Thank you.

Bless this guy.... For me, I'm more than happy to receive that haha, current achievement: 4 songs on my birthday haha

“Photographer arrested because of taking photos”.

A spokesman said, “As he was causing obstruction to the police officer in the discharge of his duties and causing danger to himself and others, the officers decided to restrain him and move him to safe grounds, but the man resisted and put up a struggle. The officers then had to handcuff him.”

Humans are getting weirder and weirder, haha people nowadays sure are privileged to enjoy just comical scenes... Cause of case: Impatient, arrogant, uncaring police, curious, desperate, unlucky photographer... simple enough?

Indonesian Muslims told to change prayer direction

JAKARTA - Indonesia's Muslims learned on Friday they have been praying in the wrong direction, after the country's highest Islamic authority said its directive on the direction of Mecca actually had people facing Africa.

Muslims are supposed to face the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia during prayer and the Indonesian Ulema Council issued an edict in March stipulating westward was the correct direction from the world's most populous Muslim country.

"But it has been decided that actually the mosques are facing Somalia or Kenya, so we are now suggesting people shift the direction slightly to the north-west," the head of the MUI, Cholil Ridwan, told Reuters. "There's no need to knock down mosques, just shift your direction slightly during prayer."

Definitely a grave mistake, glad they found it.... However, "just shift your direction slightly during prayer" sounded a little 'bo-bian-must-do with no other solution' in a exaggerated extent of original 'plan' to 'knock down mosques'.... Such trivial ways to correct should have been known already, no need to announce publicly ba...
