Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked
Cage The Elephant ‧ 2008
He was a-
Ya know it
He was a-
I was walking down the street
When out the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me
She said, I've never seen a man
Who looks so all alone
Uh, could you use a little company?
If you pay the right price
Your evening will be nice
And you can go and send me on my way
I said, "You're such a sweet young thing
Why'd you do this to yourself?"
She looked at me and this is what she said
"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
I know I can't slow down
I can't hold back
Though you know
I wish I could
Oh, no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good"
Not even 15 minutes later
I'm still walking down the street
When I saw the shadow of a man creep out of sight
And then he swept up from behind
He put a gun up to my head
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight
He said, "Give me all you've got
I want your money not your life
But if you try to make a move, I won't think twice"
I told him, "You can have my cash
But first you know I got to ask
What made you want to live this kind of life?"
He said, "There ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay
I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
I know I can't slow down
I can't hold back
Though you know, I wish I could
Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good"
Yeah
You know it
He was a-
You know it
He was a-
Well, now a couple hours passed
And I was sitting at my house
The day was winding down and coming to an end
And so I turned on the TV
And flipped it over to the news
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend
I saw a preacher man in cuffs
He'd taken money from the church
He'd stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills
But even still I can't say much
Because I know we're all the same
Oh yes, we all seek out to satisfy those thrills
You know there ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
We got bills to pay
We got mouths to feed
There ain't nothing in this world for free
I know we can't slow down
We can't hold back, though you know, we wish we could
Oh no, there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good

When Historical Temples Share Memories of Khmer Martial Arts.

As a professional in martial arts for many decades, Grandmaster Seng Bunsong recognises the fighting techniques sculpted on the temples and demonstrates its lively movement in front of the Bayon temple.
29 November, 1986
Remembering acclaimed British-American actor Cary Grant
(18 January 1904 – 29 November 1986) who died of a stroke on this day in 1986, aged 82.
Known as one of classic Hollywood's definitive leading men, he was known for his transatlantic accent, debonair demeanor, light-hearted approach to acting, and sense of comic timing.
Grant initially appeared in crime films or dramas such as "Blonde Venus" in 1932 with German- American actress Marlene Dietrich () and "She Done Him Wrong" in 1933 with Mae West (), but later gained renown for his performances in a number of romantic and screwball comedies such as "The Awful Truth" () in 1937, "Bringing Up Baby" () in 1938, "His Girl Friday" () in 1940 and "The Philadelphia Story" () in 1940, often with some of the biggest female stars of the day. These films are frequently cited among the greatest comedy films of all time.
Other well-known films in which he starred in this period were the adventure "Gunga Din" () in 1939 and the dark comedy "Arsenic and Old Lace" () in 1944. He also began to move into more serious dramas such as "Only Angels Have Wings" () in 1939, "Penny Serenade" () in 1941 and "None but the Lonely Heart" () in 1944; he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for the latter two.
During the 1940s and 1950s, Grant developed a close working relationship with legendary British director Alfred Hitchcock, who cast the popular actor in several of his critically acclaimed films, including "Suspicion" () in 1941, "Notorious" () in 1946, "To Catch a Thief" () in 1955, and "North by Northwest" () in 1959. The suspense-dramas "Suspicion" and "Notorious" both involved Grant showing a darker, more ambiguous nature in his characters.
Toward the end of his film career, Grant was praised by critics as a romantic leading man, and he received five nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, including "Indiscreet" () in 1958 with Ingrid Bergman, "That Touch of Mink" () in 1962 with Doris Day, and "Charade" () in 1963 with Audrey Hepburn.
Today, Cary Grant is remembered by critics for his unusually broad appeal as a handsome, suave actor who did not take himself too seriously, able to play with his own dignity in comedies without sacrificing it entirely.
He retired from film acting in 1966 and pursued numerous business interests, representing cosmetics firm Fabergé and sitting on the board of MGM. He was presented with an Honorary Oscar by his friend Frank Sinatra at the 42nd Academy Awards in 1970, and he was accorded the Kennedy Center Honors in 1981.
Grant was married five times, three of them elopements with actresses Virginia Cherrill (1934–1935), Betsy Drake (1949–1962), and Dyan Cannon (1965–1968).
He died in 1986 from a stroke in Davenport, Iowa.
In 1999, the American Film Institute named him the second greatest male star of Golden Age Hollywood cinema, trailing only Humphrey Bogart.

In the 1960s, Thai parents used to warn their children with a chilling legend:
“If you misbehave, Si Quey’s ghost will come for you.” 👻🇹🇭
What many didn’t know is that this frightening tale came from a real historical case.
Si Uey Sae Ung — often called Si Quey — was a Chinese immigrant who moved to Thailand in the 1940s. Over the years, he became associated with a series of child disappearances that shocked the nation. When he was eventually arrested in the 1950s, his confession stunned the country and turned him into one of Thailand’s most infamous criminals.
After his execution, officials made an unusual decision:
they preserved his body and displayed it in the Songkran Niyomsane Forensic Medicine Museum as a cautionary reminder, hoping it would deter future crimes and serve as a warning about the dangers of violence.
For decades, Thai children grew up hearing his name whispered in stories, half-legend, half-history — a real person transformed into a cultural cautionary tale.
It’s one of those rare moments when an urban legend… was rooted in something real.
Did you ever grow up with a story like that — a childhood warning based on true events?
