Dragon Fruit, the aftermath

A few days ago, i had the pleasure of eating some dragon fruit. The flesh was violet with a reddish sap. It was a decently tasty treat. A few hours after, i went to the toilet to pee. I was surprised to see my discharge to have a pink color. I got a little worried because it would normally be due to bleeding or some medicine like rifampicin which i didnt take. Later that night, i went number two and found it similarly red tinged. I suddenly remembered the dragon fruit! That crazy fruit colored my pee and poop! Everything was back to normal the next day.

... That would be an interesting prank to pull.. hmm...

The tiny but terrible crack

For some months now, i found that my car has been performing in a strange way. Imagine this... vrooooooocoughcoughooooommmmm. Earlier this week, i had my car's oil changed and the engine area washed. The guy at caltex was quick enough to see that there was something wrong with my distributor cap. There was a spark escaping every now and then. It came from a hairline crack in the plastic that you cant even see unless the car was running and you follow the path of the spark. It was about a half centimeter long and very very narrow. That little crack was the cause of the engine's entire malfunction. All it took was a little electrical tape and my engine's cough was gone. Crazy no?
