Woman to husband: "Try to think of yourself as our Marriage Quality Control Manager"
**
There were two guys working or the city. One would dig a hole, the other would come behind him. They worked furiously. A man was watching from the sidewalk and couldn't believe how hard these men were working, but couldn't understand what they were doing. Finally asked the hole digger, "I appreciate how hard you work, but what are you doing? You dig a hole and your partner comes behind you and fills it up again!"
The hole digger replied, Oh yeah, must look funny, but the guy who plants the trees is sick today.

From the world of science…
Artificial pancreas to be a reality soon?
Deice that helps diabetes patients control blood sugar clears first trial phase.
London: An artificial pancreas which is under development has successfully cleared its first trial phase after being transplanted to five patients with diabetes in the UK.

News of the day…
Asian universities on the rise, India's slip.
IIT-Bombay among top nine desi institutions to see global rankings fall..
Asian universities have gained significant ground at the expense of their Western counterparts, but Indian varsities are not part of the success saga.
(Me: Not very surprising. Things can only get worse with the abolition of exams and automatic pass requiring merely attendance at the school up to the 9th standard, under the RTE which our government and political leaders have been patting their own back for)
Think it over
"Harmony makes small things grow, lack of it makes great things decay" – Sallust.
(Me: Absolutely true, the latest example being the needless and unseemly storm whipped by an ageing leader in a national political party!).

Profs pay to be preserved, resurrected in the future.
The belief that death is the only certainty in life is a concept staff members at an Oxford University institute are hoping to dismantle, by paying to be cryogenically preserved and brought back to life in the future. Nick Bostrom, professor of philosophy at the Future of Humanity Institute, and his co-researcher Anders Sandberg have agreed to pay a US company to detach and deep freeze their heads in the event of their deaths…

Two youths are walking down the street at night when a mugger approaches them and demands their money.
They both grudgingly pull out their wallets and begin taking out their cash.
Just then one guy turns to the other and hands him a note. "Here's that Rs.500 I owe you," he said.
