[www.keralites.net] sweet and sour things from around the world for 13/12/12

 

Johnny: I Know.  But maybe if you were just a little quieter, I could.
 
Fact of the matter
 
Hawaiian women traditionally wear a single hibiscus flower tucked behind the ear.  Which ear is used indicates the wearer's availability for marriage.
 
(Me: and for being line maroed�!)
 
Tongue very much in cheek..

"It's not whether you win or lose.  It's how you place the blame � Oscar Wilde.
 
"Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot � Groucho Marx
 
"Elections could be do with a Modicom of modesty � Bachi Karkeria
 
(Me: A reference to NaMo in Gujarat state assembly elections)
Not-so-weird news�
 
Conmen dupe wife of constable, flee with Rs.3-lakh worth jewellery.
 
Fake cops have duped many in the city by telling unsuspecting victims that there is a problem in the area and that they should removed their ornaments and keep it in their bag, before diverting their attention and fleeing the scene.  On Tuesday night, a cop's wife fell prey to this modus operandi and lost valuable worth Rs.2.7 lakhs to two conmen in the Khar West.
 
(Me: Looks like poetic justice as cases are not uncommon where some blacksheep cops are wont to plant contraband in the possession of unsuspecting public and then extort money from them).
 
 
Babloo walks into a restaurant and tells the waiter: "I want one under-cooked dosa, one over-cooked egg and one stained up with milky, lukewarm coffee.
 
The waiter looks surprised and says, "But sir, that's a complicated order.  It'll be difficult to make.
 
"It can't be, Babloo replies.  "You brought exactly the same things yesterday!.
 
Controversy of the day�
 
To and not to sack Dhoni as captain.
 
(Me: Proof of pudding is in the eating.  Why is Indian cricket so asininely persisting with a player when he has so consistently flopped to deliver for close to 2 years?  Only in India do we go by ages-ago past record of a sportsman.  Maybe it's because we so thoroughly lack talent and bench strength/depth�for all the thousands of crores of money the game generates via ad revenue and sponsorships).
 
Weird world�
 
Woman hides cocaine in breast implants, held..
 
Spanish authorities say they have arrested a Panamanian woman arriving at Barcelona airport with 1.38 kilogrammes of cocaine concealed in breast implants.
 
(Me: Looks, silicon jobs aren't a money spinner for cosmetic/plastic surgeons alone).
 
Mindchow
 
The well bred contradicts other people.  The wise contradict themselves.
 
(Me: Wise or the �wise'?)
 
Line Maro
 
Are you accepting applications for your fan club?
 
(Me: Yep, stand in the Q plz..)
 
Tweet of the day: One good thing about 12/12/12 is that even the Americans can't mess it up by putting day and month in the wrong order.
 
(Me: the one and ONLY thing..).
 
News from the world of medicine�
 
Scientists develop brain cells from human pee
 
In a breakthrough, scientists have engineered brain cells from human pee, a finding that could revolutionize treatments for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.  As a person urinates, skin cells are routinely shed from the lining in the kidney, and it's these cells that the researchers reprogrammed into stem cells, which can turn into any type of cell in the body, including brain cells.
 
(Me: cheap n best)
