[www.keralites.net] Khatte-mitten khabhrain from around the world for 5/9/13

 


For morning guffaws…
 
 
"A literal is a man who is willing to spend somebody else's money" – Carter Glass.
 
(Me: Truly said!  Our politicians love nothing more than splurging taxpayers' money on grandiose, populist measures to perpetuate themselves in power and for self-aggrandizement.  And our bizwallas sink investors' money into dubious dreamboats)

A truism
 
Children are the keys of paradise.

Tongue very much in cheek….!
 
Earlier we had Johnny Cash, Bob Hope and Steve Jobs.  Now we have no Cash no Hope and no Jobs.

Tweet of the day:
 
"Raghuram Rajan RT (the new, dapper RBI Guv)– Because of his good looks, rupee is getting weaker at the knees.
 
**
 
Woman to husband: "Of course you have a purpose in life!  Your purpose is to keep me thrilled and delighted 24 hours a day."

A very tongue-in-cheek humour
 
A teacher asked her first standard students to bring their birth certificates to class.
When the time came to give them to her, Tom stood up and said very politely, "Teacher, I forgot my excuse for being born"
 
(Me: even his parents probably won't have!)

From the world of science…
 
The whale shark, the world's largest fish, is actually known to be pretty harmless.  In fact, they are so docile, that they even allow swimmers to hitch rides on their backs.  They go on to live to the age of 70!

New method detects colon cancer at an early stage.
 
Washington: Scientists have developed a new, highly sensitive method to detect genetic variations that initiate colon cancer which can help detect the disease at its early stage.  About 60% and 40% of patients with colon cancer have genetic variations in the genes APC and KRAS, respectively.  Since these variations are also present in precancers, mthods for spotting them can help detect colon cancers ealry.
 
Believe it a lot!
 
Family finds $300,000 worth of sunken treasure..
 
A Florida family who spends their time together hunting for treasure, struck it rich over the week-end, hauling up an estimated $300,000 worth of gold from an historic wreckage in the Atlantic Ocean.
 
They spend family-time out there and the most amazing part about them is they always believed this day would come, said Brent Brisben, whose company 1715 Fleet Queens Jewels LLC owns the rights to the wreckage.

Woman wears moustache, fake nose to steal a perfume..
 
Salisbury: Wiltshire police are hunting a female shoplifter who wore a moustache and fake nose to steal perfume from a store in Salisbury, UK.  The woman, who also had on a pair of sunglasses as part of her ridiculous disguise, picked up a bottle of Channel perfume from the store and walked out without paying.  The thief and her female accomplice were captured on CCTV as they disappeared with their loot.

Couple spends just Pound sterling 1 on wedding.
 
They asked guests to bring food for picnic reception, an aunt baked the cake and bride's dad played his sad.
 
London: A coupled proved a wedding does not need to cost a fortune – after celebrating their nuptials by spending just one pound.  Artist Georgina Porteous, 36, and singer-song writer Sid Innes, 39, asked their wedding guests to bring food for their picnic reception in a barn behind their home and the minister offered his services for free.

Hercule Poirot to come back in Hannah's novel..
 
London: Bestselling British crime novels Sophie Hannah will revive Agatha Christie's fictional detective Hercule Poirot in a new novel due out next year.

Tattoos may prevent you from getting hired.
 
Customers often refuse to buy from tattooed people as they project a negative service experience based on stereotypes that tattooed people are thugs and druggies.
 
The recruiters think… Tattoos make a person look dirty.  Tattooed workers are perceived to be 'abhorrent', 'repugnant' and 'unsavoury'.

Think it over…
 
"Music is the shorthand of emotion" – Leo Tolstoy

"Shame, a rapist too young to punish and a godman not too old to molest a juvenile" – Bachi Karkaria
