A tongue-in-cheek joke that is sure to gladden the hearts of my internet female pals who are all tired of hearing myriad MCP humour…
An alien walked into a shop and told the owner that he wanted to buy a train for research.
Alien: How much the one?
Shopkeeper: Well that one is a monkey brain and it's $20.
Alien: How much is that one?
Shopkeeper: Well that one is a female brain and its %100.
Alien: And how much that one?
Shopkeeper: That one is a male's brain and it is $500/
Alien: Why so expensive?
Shopkeeper: It has hardly been used!
(Me: Like, for instance, whose? Like mine???)

Health news…
Why does metabolism slow as we grow older?
It's true that metabolism slows down as we age, contributing to weight gain. But another contributing factor is lack of exercise as we grow older. This causes a reduction in lean muscle mass.

This's bizarre!
Swedish hotel charging for 'homelessness experience'
A Swedish hotel is charging people to experience homelessness for the night. The Faktum Hotel in Gothenburg offers customers the chance to see what is like sleeping on the streets of the city for around $10 (Rs.550) a night. Profits from the experience go to a street publication sold by homeless people.

Heart-warming news of the day.

Wipro chairman Azim Premji on Friday transferred 12 per cent of the I-T giant's shares, valued at Rs.12,300 crores ($2.3 billion), to an endowment trust headed by him.
The foundation works in rural India in partnership with state governments to help improve the quality and equity of school education.
(Me: He deserves a standing ovation! How one wishes the other fatcats in India, also followed suit!)

A letter-to-editor in Mumbai Mirror today…
"The regularity of the terror strikes all across the country debunks the tall claims of our political leaders about their readiness to tackle all kinds of threats. The PM's assertion that the guilty will be punished is hilarious. When the members of proscribed outfits are in custody and their crimes revealed, why can't they be shot dead point blank? Why should there be the lampooning rigmarole of trial and defence leading up to the ludicrous mercy petition"

Only in India…
Accused hailed, victim nailed…
Friends would recall a story I had posted last week… "Amrita Mohan, a college student, who led the hike rally, "The One Billion Rising campaign" and presented karate and kalaripayatu at the venue, had to deal with two men who abused her after the programme. In tune with the OBR campaign, which urges women to 'Strike, dance and rise' against violence, she beat them up and filed a complaint with police"
Hear the latest news in the case…
Karate girl case: Kerala judge transferred.
In a clear warning to courts across the state against showing any leniency in offences against women, the Kerala HC transferred a magistrate who ordered registration of a case against Amrita Mohan, who manhandled eve-teasers. The police had registered two cases against Amrita after the magistrate forwarded to them private complaints filed by the men, alleging that they had been beaten up by the girl who blocked their car.
(More often the law-enforcement agencies that include judges, too, go by the letter of the law, and rarely do they use their common sense let alone the spirit of the law)
