2 ridiculous things:
1) WWE Afterburn is on TV now. Eddie Durrell (dunno whether correct spelling), this Latino-looking wrestler, is in the middle of the ring talking to the audience, and fishes out what looks like a colourful piece of underwear and starts shouting at it(apparently it belongs to another wrestler called Mysterio). Looks ridiculous, but a closer look reveals that it's actually a face-mask! Haha. No wonder the name Mysterio, that mask must have been on his face all the time.
2) HDB new towns are notorious for giving names to sections of their estate; those names are plastered on conspicuous structures, apparently to give a touch of 'class' and a sense of identity and character to the estate. If you live in the Heartlands, you will know what I mean.
This is not meant to be a debate of whether this naming exercise is a success or a failure; I just want to highlight this name that I came across for the group of flats opposite a tertiary institution in Tampines-- TAMPINES POLYVIEW.
Now, everyone knows the prefix 'poly' means 'multi' or 'several', for example, POLYGAMY means being married to several wives. However, the 'poly' in POLYVIEW here actually refers to Temasek Polytechnic. Ridiculous or not?
