Fact of the matter.
In Ancient Greece, people believed that the Poseidon god of the sea, caused earthquakes. They believed when he was angry, Poseidon would strike the ground with his trident and set off an earthquake.
(Me: We need not, self-righteously, thumb our noses at the ancient Greek theories, for we India do believe in a lot similar irrational mumbo-jumbos.).

Pun fun…
Why did the computer squeak out loud?
A: Because someone stepped on its mouse.

What did one ocean say to the other ocean?
Nothing, they just waved.

Tongue in cheek..
Unreasonable kindness gets no thanks.

Damn, if being sexy was a crime, you'd be guilty as charged.

From the world of science…
Australian researchers close in on malaria vaccine.
Australian researchers said Tuesday they were closing in on a potential vaccine against malaria, with a study showing their treatment had protected mice against several stains of the disease.
(Me: Indian NGOs would protest their introduction in India saying the vaccines are certain to plague Indian populace. Joining in their chorus would be India's engineers and scientists, not excluding NRI CEOs and slightly lesser mortals)

1 in 3 men lies to show they are refined.
One in three men pretends to look more intelligent and cultured than they really are: a new study.
(Me: To impress peers, in vain course, and mostly, get to first base with the fairer sex…)
Four cups of tea can lower blood pressure…
French scientists in the long-term study found heavy tea drinkers had lower blood pressure, pulse pressure and heart rate than lighter drinkers.

Swimming provides combined benefits of muscle-strengthening exercises, stretching and aerobic workout.
(Me: Me thinks travelling, in itself acrobatic feats, by the Mumbai suburban locals should also give similar benefits. :P)

Weird world…
US teen biker held for wearing only a boot…
Oklahoma City: A teenage motorcyclist was arrested for wearing nothing but a boot to protect his modesty. Police said Billy B, 18, rode his bike naked for 20 minutes from Chickasha Lake to Chickasha to win a $50.
(Me: Alas! Many in our part complain they missed watching him in action…)

Think it over…
"The rich swell up with pride, the poor from hunger." – Sholom Aleichem
(Me: It isn't politically correct nor fashionable to blame the poor for their impoverished conditions. The much bandied about Communism and Socialism with a government's tight control over production and distribution having bitten the dust the world over, the poor are expected to contribute their mite too if they want to come out of their rut, and simply blaming the rich or the government for all their ills will not wash).

Tongue in cheek quote…
"It's thousand times better to be a Rambo than a Dumbo or a Scambo" – Meenakshi Lekghi, BJP spokesperson, on Bihar CM Nitish Kumar's snide comment that NaMo is Rambo

Hitting the nail on the head…
"Every intelligence service, not just ours, is trying to understand the world better. If that weren't the case, there'd be no use for an intelligence service" – Barack Obama.
(Me: Other than attacking the electronic surveillance, the world media and assorted pundits with no responsibility for protecting the lives and properties of people have no effective, consensual solution to combat terrorism)
