This Is Awesome

Posted by: agsharma on: August 25, 2007

<Link> Neutrinos, they are very small. They have no charge and have no mass And do not interact at all. The earth is just a silly ball To them, through which they simply pass, Like dustmaids through a drafty hall Or photons through a sheet of glass. They snub the most exquisite gas, Ignore the [...]

Religious Schools

Posted by: agsharma on: August 24, 2007

Here another stupid idea – John Tory, leader of Ontario’s PC, wants to extend public funding to private religious schools. If not for the fact that Tory is the leader of PC, I would not vote for this guy for this reason all by itself. What a pathetically stupid idea. I was always of the [...]

Flatiron & Firkin’

Posted by: agsharma on: August 24, 2007

I saw the funniest thing at the above mentioned restaurant. Flatiron & Firkin has, off-late, become my favourite watering hole. It provides authentic Irish ambience, Irish sounding servers, Irish looking bar, Irish drinks, Irish sports playing on the TV etc. The service is fast and super friendly, just like the Irish. So after having a [...]

Rhea : 4 Years Old

Posted by: agsharma on: August 20, 2007

Dear Rhea, You turned 4 years old on the 16th August 2007. You were born at 8:58am on 16th August, 2003. I remember It was a Saturdaymorning. The day before was the famous Black Out of 2003. Google it and youwill find out that there was no electricity for 2 days. Your mom wasscratchy all [...]

A Global baby

Posted by: agsharma on: August 15, 2007

Technology is truly amazing. Here is a story bound to warm your heart. In a South Mumbai clinic, a global child is waiting to be born — after the prospective parents, of varying ethnicities, explored markets in three continents, gathered the ingredients that go into the making of human life and decided to create it [...]

A PhD In Rock

Posted by: agsharma on: August 14, 2007

So rockstars are really not as dumb as they look or sound. Brian May, the lead guitarist from rock band Queen, is close to earning his doctorate in astrophysics — more than 35 years after quitting his studies to become a rock star. His thesis, “Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud,” is the last [...]

I Love/Hate This Band

Posted by: agsharma on: August 14, 2007

Here is a band that built their reputation as a “peoples’” band. Here is a band which has millions and millions of dollars. Here is a band that still makes hit albums. And yet they worry about not making money from albums released 2 and a half decades ago!! Its Napster all over again. Pathetic. [...]

Munch

Posted by: agsharma on: August 10, 2007

Munch……chomp….swallow…..munch….munch. That’s me eating my words. I had said earlier that there is no way that the Stephen Harper is going to respond to the challenge by other countries to claiming land on the Arctic circle. I was proven wrong. Today the Canadian prime minister said : As the race to back up claims over [...]

God The Utterly Wrong

Posted by: agsharma on: August 6, 2007

I hate the concept of god. It took me a while to get to the truth and am very happy to be where I am at this point. My problem is how do I get my daughter to, so to speak, see the light. I don’t want her to wait 34 years before she realises [...]

Another Piece Of Evidence

Posted by: agsharma on: August 6, 2007

Global warming? That’s liberal bullshit……. SEWARD, Alaska — At first sight, it seems to stretch forever: a vast river of white ice, rising up into the sky, its edges framed by a translucent blue piping. Looking around, there are no obvious indications of a glacier in retreat. The evidence, however, lines the path to the [...]

Funnys

Posted by: agsharma on: August 4, 2007

Could not stop laughing at this…….(Note, only people who follow cricket can understand it)…. Sreesnath on his performance in the second test against England…… “Yes, I did write a letter to God before the fourth day of the Test. I wrote in that, ‘Tomorrow I will win the Test match for my country. I will [...]

The Arctic Wars

Posted by: agsharma on: August 3, 2007

There was quite a salvo fired across Canada today which ruffled a few feathers here. Prime Minister Stephen Harper vowed to defend his country’s sovereignty over its northernmost territories yesterday after Moscow sent two submarines deep under the North Pole ice to plant a flag on the ocean floor. So a country like Denmark laid [...]

How Not To Get Killed In A Plane Crash

Posted by: agsharma on: August 1, 2007

So for all the times that I was pissed with the stewards and stewardesses for giving me a seat at the back of the plane, I am sorry. <Link> The funny thing about all those expert opinions: They’re not really based on hard data about actual airline accidents. A look at real-world crash stats, however, [...]
