A Different Kinda Cloud

This made me think... what'll happen the day they legalize it in India????

Imagine.. people all over india from Delhi to Himachal to Assam to the North East , from Rajasthan to Goa to Kerela..... every junkie lights up a joint/chillum/bong and they'll be at it for at least that entire day... imagine the Smoke Cloud.... For sure there wont be any Air travel in the Asian region for the next few days.. in fact i think if Leglization happens on a global basis then the temp of the planet will go up by a few degrees at the very least.

But then again leglization means taxation and that means higher prices... i unlike other users disagree on the legalization aspect on this count.... The day its legalized we'll be shelling out a lot more from our pockets........

amazing art work

As a kid i always like artwork but sadly had no knack for it... i couldnt even fill color properly in outlines and i guess the pinnacle of this was when i got 35/100 in a drawing exam at school... i made up my mind... i'm not cut out for the artworld. 


Nonetheless i do appreciate art all the same and this particular unique style caught my eye... the Artist's name is Ben Heine and this is a part of his series Pencil v. Camera. Absolutely amazing pictures not for their content but for the style.


for those interested you can download the full resolution copy of the above pic at http://www.flickr.com/photos/benheine/4524197834/sizes/o


and Ben's Flickr page has his entire series that can be found at

all i wanna say is Great Job Ben!

The Volcano!!!!

The Icelanders sure have a way with word.... and also have one kickass knack of naming stuff.. as clearly seen here :)

The capital of Iceland is Reykjavík and while this may not be as much of tongue twister as the 'E' name but nonetheless can make people practice saying it at least twice in their head before trying it aloud once. Also found in iceland are Egilsstaðabær, Skriðdalshreppur, Hjaltastaðaþinghá, Sauðárkrókur and many other delights for a person who loves tongue twisters.

You know all these names kinda make me think that its possible Iceland's people could have been exposed to an alien culture long ago.... like its obvious that that kinda word formation cannot be a relative of any language from earth. 

 

Shhhhh.... the admin is watching you

Admins!!! the bane of our cyber lives ...... be it from the office or on your college admins everywhere are a cause for worry. If you however are of the lucky few who have unadministrated access to the Internet, well consider yourselves lucky not to have crossed the paths of this particular group of people. 

Broadly speaking there are types of admins 1) The dumb admin, 2) The laidback admin & 3)The 'Pain in the Ass' admin. Of these the one you have to worry bout are the Second and the third one... you never mess with them cause if you do they can quickly ensure that somehow even though the ip you are working on is correct and you have excellent wifi connectivity yet somehow you cant access the net. Then you gotta call them and they would at first send some apprentice fuck who has no clue what he's doing and manages to figure out that part before returning to his Guru for instructions, the Guru would then grunt his displeasure at being interrupted from his ritualistic reading of "Admins Weekly" or whatever it is that they read, gives the underling a disdainful look and troops over to you and looks at you like you are the most stupid person in all of the 4 Dimensions... plays a few handstrokes over the keyboard and Voila! your internet starts to work... as he leaves you mutter a "Thank you" to which his only reply is a Smile that is clearly meant to say "You Stupid Fuck".... and as soon as he's outta earshot you mutter "Asshole!"

Excerpt from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

(convo between Ford & Arthur)

"I always thought that about the Garden of Eden story," said Ford.

"Eh?"

"Garden of Eden. Tree. Apple. That bit, remember?"

"Yes of course I do."

"Your God person puts an apple tree in the middle of a garden and says do what you like guys, oh, but don't eat the apple. Surprise surprise, they eat it and he leaps out from behind a bush shouting 'Gotcha'. It wouldn't have made any difference if they hadn't eaten it."

"Why not?"

"Because if you're dealing with somebody who has the sort of mentality which likes leaving hats on the pavement with bricks under them you know perfectly well they won't give up. They'll get you in the end."
