[www.keralites.net] Khatte-mitten khabhrain from around the world for 29/11/12

 

 
"To ease prison overcrowding, senators presented a bill today calling or the legalization of crime"
 
(Me: hahaha.  In our part of the world, we should seriously consider this issue because few of the anti-socials are convicted in any case.  This is in jest, plz.).
 
Bryan: Yesterday, my dog grabbed my dictionary and started chewing it.
Fred: Really?  What did you do?
Brain: Well, I just took the words right out of his mouth.
 
News of our times…
 
Boring 'household chores', not infidelity main culprit' in broken marriages.
 
More marriages break down (yani ki in the West..) over couples fighting about who does boring household chores rather than infidelity, a new research as revealed.
 
(Me: Indian husbands, being REAL mards, have no such issues because their wives volunteer to do all the boring, repetitive household chores themselves lifelong, uncomplaining..)
 
Think It over
 
"There is no caste in blood" – Edwin Arnold
 
(Me: Doesn't apply to we Bharatvasis)
 
Mindchow
 
There is nothing deep down inside us except what we have put there ourselves.
 
The human brain is a wonderful thing.  It starts working when you are born, and never stops, until you stand up to speak in public…!
 
Weird world
 
Now, a website for 'airport dating'
 
Lover at first flight!  Steve Pasternack, a web entrepreneur, has created a dating website Meetattheairport.com that enables travelers to connect at the airport.
 
The website already has 20,000 members worldwide, according to the founder, who created the website after a delayed flight left him stranded at Miami Airport.  The website asks new members to enter their personal interests, and an aesthetic profile, before adding flight details and departure airport.  It then matches flyers up with individuals that have similar interests and travel arrangements.
 
(Me: If a travel does hitch up through this modus operandi at the airport, s/he would be in no hurry to catch the flight even when it is available..)
 
Weird world
 
A building that plays music when it rains..
 
It may not belt out the nursery rhyme, Rain Rain, Go away, but a building in Dresden, Germany, plays loud music whenever the heavens open up.  Braving stormy weather, hundreds of tourists sand in front of the house, which is located in Neustadt Kunsthofpassage, an art area in Dresden.  An intricate system of funnels and drains attached on the outside of this musical house converts the whole building into an instrument when it rains.  The building is part of an arts project called the Courtyard of Elements.  The singing house was created by sculptor Annette Paul and designers Christoph Rossner and Andre Temple, who all live in the musical home.
 
(Me: German technology at work)
 
Quip of the day: "We hope we won't have to ask 'Whendulkar?"
 
(Me:  an obvious reference to our PAST little 'batting maestro' refusing to listen to Father Time)
