A close-up look at an ostrich farm in Oudtshoorn, South Africa, by British photographer Dale Morris. Dale, now based in South Africa, travelled to Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Angola and Mozambique to capture Africa up-close and personal.

Dale photographed a warthog that looked like Pumbaa from the Lion King. "The warthog was in fact called Robert, after Zimbabwe's President Mugabe," said Dale. "I was driving around with a guide in South Luangwa national Park in Zambia when we chanced across Robert. My guide told me it was fine to hop out of the vehicle because he was tame. Robert was hand-reared by conservationists and then released back into the national park...

"...He is still very friendly towards people - perhaps a little bit too friendly. After spending ten minutes taking very close-up photos of this warthog, he began to dribble and make a strange 'chuff-chuffing' sound. My guide told me this was the sound that warthogs make before they start mating. At that point I decided our friendship had perhaps gone too far, and I retreated to the vehicle."

[www.keralites.net] Difference Between Ladies and Real Women

 

Ladies - If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it's still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant "fix-me-up.
Real Women - If you over-salt a dish while you are cooking, that's too damn bad. Please recite with me, The Real Women's motto: "I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes."

Ladies - Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
Real Women - Take a lime, mix it with tequila, chill and drink. You might still have the headache, but who cares?

Ladies - Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.
Real Women - Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake. You are probably lying on the couch, with your feet up, eating it anyway.

Ladies - To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
Real Women - Buy boxed mashed potato mix and keep it in the pantry for up to a year.

Ladies - Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.
Real Women - Sara Lee frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust, so I just don't do it.

And finally the most important tip....

Ladies - When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the inside of the cake.
Real Women - Go to the bakery -- they'll even decorate it for you.
