Dude!

A guy I know is working on electricity generation in Kandal!

Maybe he finally did it! Poor buffaloes, though.

Anyhow, Tesla has arrived in Cambodia!

Long-live Frankenstein!

[ Just kidding, but there are people working on cheaper electricity out here. :p ]
Melvin Udall: Never, never, interrupt me, okay?

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.

Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.

There have been quite a few stories like that over the years. One minute your family is doing well and the next your whole herd is wiped out and you are ruined.

Dead barang - "heart attack". Dead buffalo (farm animal) - "lightning strike".

Eleven barangs/buffalos dying of heart attacks at the same time - far stretch of the imagination.

I guess the plethora of barang suicides, drug over doses and any other cause off death short of a severed head all being put down to heart attack is pretty slim as well.

In WA last week eleven workers on a railway line were hit by lightening. Several are still in intensive care, but no fatalities.
