How good your eyes are???

Hi there, its been a time since I last post something..well was kinda busy these days. I hope that I will be able to devote some time now. I come across this picture in a forum and thought you might wanna see this.

First take a look at this picture closely and tell what you see...

Annoying for the eyes...right???
Now get up from the chair / sofa / wherever you're sitting , and move about 1 to 1 and a half meter away from the screen..and tell me what you see..(well thats the cool part of the picture)

Global warming......some concrete proof

Some days back, more precisely on the 15th of october, it was Blog Action Day where thousands of bloggers were blogging about the environment (except me, coz my internet connection was really bad). Anyways, so where's the situation about global warming has reached???..well I won't get into much detail( just google it for more info)...hmm what people must realise is that apart from rise in sea level, global warming have many sides effect, there is also an increase in intensity of extreme weather events n many others nature disbalance.

What I wanted to share with you is a picture which gives us one consequence of global warming (got this in a mail).




Well as the picture speaks for itself....we surely don't require any satelite images of glaciers giving way to give evidence of global warming....Lol:)

Ok that was just to joke a bit.

Global warming is a serious issue which affects(or will) us all.
Let us all be responsible for our acts and take the necessary measures to preserve.... even if you think that your contribution will only account for less than 0.000001%
( that's already a lot to save our world...)

Top 10 Funniest Japanese Condoms

Japan boasts more condoms used per person per year than any other country.

To get ahead in the race for safe sex supremacy, Japanese consumers are being treated to innovative market thrusts that are by turns interesting, unusual and downright weird. So, leave that poor turtle alone and come with us (ahem), as we count down

10) Astrology Condoms, for those with Crystal Balls

Hey baby, what's your sign?Hey baby, what's your sign?
This cute condom package evokes traditional Japanese themes to create a modern day version of the Floating World. No telling if the actual condoms are styled to resemble the pair of piscine prophylactics on the package - or, for that matter, if they're fish-flavored. Hopefully not, on both counts. (condom via Bibi's Box )


9) Candy is Dandy, but Condoms are a Girl's Best Friend

"Have a break..." uh oh!"Have a break..." uh oh!
The obvious thing to do, then, is to combine the best attributes of both... but maybe it's best to get your legal department's OK before running off thousands of "Kit Sacks". Sure, have a break... wait a minute, these are condoms! And no, I refuse to make any "Hershey Highway" references, so let's not even go there. (condom via boingboing )


8) Fe+Male Condoms, for the Gender-ambivalent or the Iron-poor

The first Unisex condom?The first Unisex condom?
Okamoto is one of Japan's leading condom manufacturers, so you'd think they'd invest in an English-speaking copyeditor to proofread their new products. These "Fe+Male" condoms are a case in point... are they for males, females, or what?? My wife's multivitamins have "Fe+" on the bottle, so are these condoms iron-enriched as well? And if so, is there a problem with rusting? (condom via Condom Depot )


7) Designer Condoms by Radical Suzuki

Designer wrappers for wrappersDesigner wrappers for wrappers
Is that a Suzuki in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? In the bedroom or in your wallet, count on Tokyo Art Condoms by Radical Suzuki to make a good impression - and not just a circular one. These look so good it seems a shame to rip them open. Not only are the packages appealing, the condoms themselves are attractively tinted and pleasingly flavored in peach, melon and plain. plain? (condom via Compact Impact )


6) I thought Anime Otaku don't get Dates...

But on the off chance a fateful meeting of obsessed otaku-tachi turns into something romantic, whip out your Gundam condoms! Available in 4 different package designs, each featuring a different "condomonster". Gundam condoms (try saying that six times quickly) show that when nerds eventually do it, they do it in style! (condom via Dannychoo )

5) Grace Condoms, for when Company comes...

Nothing says "Elegance" like latexNothing says "Elegance" like latex
Advertisers have tried to give an upscale aura to condoms before, but are we really ready to see a box of them displayed alongside lamps, plants and other household brick-a-brack? Will the boss and his wife (or her hubby) be impressed with your good taste when they arrive for dinner & drinks? If not, could it lead to your dis-grace? (condom via Alibaba )


4) Skins Mobile... for Safe Phone Sex

TelecondomunicationsTelecondomunications
Over half a billion condoms are sold in Japan each year but it seems the manufacturers still have extra capacity and are looking for new markets to, umm, penetrate. Witness "Skins Mobile", basically condoms for your cell phone. No, they aren't lubricated, so don't get any "hey, guess where I'm calling from!" ideas. Skins Mobile are sold in 3-packs for $6.99 and are thin enough to let sound waves - but not hot-tub waves - pass right through. (condom via Coolness Roundup )


3) When it comes to Nuts, ask a Squirrel


What would Bullwinkle think?What would Bullwinkle think?
OK, the fur-bearin' varmints may know about nuts but does that qualify them to advertise condoms? Evidently it does, but the poor critters seem a mite confused: they're using them as rain hats! Or, pardon the phrase, Pith Helmets (I slay me). We assume human users will know better. What I'd like to know is, do the actual condoms really display a smiling squirrel's face? (condom via J3TLAG )

2) Power Black


"I have a (wet) dream!""I have a (wet) dream!"
What can I say... the "Power BLACK Color Rubber" is so wrong on so many levels, I'm speechless. Heck, the Reverend Jesse Jackson would be left speechless, and that takes some doing. If he sees these condoms he just might cancel Operation PUSH! Seeing this condom package reminded me that Japan is a very strange place indeed. The image of a very black panther and his "you go girlfriend" is enough to make Eldridge Cleaver weep, but it's nothing compared to the copy on the package. On the left we have "Keep it real. Keep on faith. Keep on going. Piece! So cool. Respect!" You tell 'em, Aretha! Then on the right there's "Stay real! WE are all brack people"... Hallelujah! It's like they locked up the package designer in a room with some bad rap records and some bad acid for a week and this was the result. (condom via Physics Forums , image via Engrish.com )


1) Super Big Boy Condoms... to Win, Place or Show!

Whoa... easy now big fella!Whoa... easy now big fella!

You know, there is a sort of endearing innocence to the Japanese sensibility that comes through from time to time, and this is one of those times. The earnest marketers at Okamoto seized upon a single, archetypal image to illustrate the boxes of their largest condoms. Yes, it's a horse. A horse, people! Slap a pack of these babies down on the nightstand and you've got yourself a no-win situation: she either runs from the room screaming, or - minutes later - sighs with disappointment. According to Okamoto, "Exceptional cutting of Okamoto condom with absolutely more liberation, this condom is designed for you." Mr. Ed, maybe, but not Mr. Steve. Oh, but there's more: "It also employ a new odour masker technology to cut the irritating smell of condom." Yeah, don't you just hate that? Actually I never get close enough to notice, but I'll take their word for it. For those who want to pony up for a dozen before they saddle up, that'll be $18.40, pardner. (condom via Sampson Store )

And there you have it, The Top 10 Weirdest Japanese Condoms. Who thought safe sex could be so much fun?

Are you smart enough... ?

Are you smart enough for the third grade

A first-grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked, "Harry, what is your problem?" Harry answered, "I'm too smart for the first-grade. My sister is in the third-grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in third-grade too!" The teacher had enough. She took Harry to the principal's office.

While Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was. The principal told the teacher he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions he has to go back to the first-grade. The teacher had agreed. Harry was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.

Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"
Harry: "9"
Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"
Harry: "36"

And so it went with every question the principal thought a third-grader should know. The principal looks at the teacher and tells her, "I think Harry can go to the third-grade." The teacher says to the principal, "Let me ask him some questions!" The principal and Harry both agree.

Teacher: "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?
Harry: "Legs."
Teacher: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?" (The principal wondered, why does she ask such a question!)
Harry: "Pockets."
Teacher: "What does a dog do that a man steps into?"
Harry: "Pants."
Teacher: "What's starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin whitish liquid?" (The principal's eyes open really wide and before he could stop the answer....)
Harry: "Coconut."
Teacher: "What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?"
Harry: "Bubblegum."
Teacher: "What does a man do standing up, a woman do sitting down and dog do on three legs?" (The principal's eyes open really wide again... he was looking restless...)
Harry: "Shake hands."
Teacher: "Now I will ask some 'Who am I' sort of questions, okay?"
Harry: "Yup"
Teacher: "You stick your pole inside me. You tie me down to get me up. I get wet before you do." Who am I??
Harry: "A Tent."
Teacher: "A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you're bored. The best man always has me first." What am I?? (The principal was looking restless again and a bit tense...)
Harry: "A Wedding Ring."
Teacher: "I come in many sizes. When I'm not well, I drip. When you blow me, I feel good." What am I??
Harry: "A Nose."
Teacher: "I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates. I come with a quiver." What am I??
Harry: "An Arrow."
Teacher: "What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of excitement?"
Harry: "Firetruck."

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, "Put this ass in the fifth-grade, I got the last ten questions wrong myself."

Who has never got lines to write?

Who has never got lines to write at primary school? I used to get to write (ok not so often...from time to time), well the last time i had to do this boring thing was when in form 4 at college (Yes FORM 4 in college at JKC ) . Well it was the french teacher who used to give lines to copy whenever a homework was not done or something like that...lol

For those, who don't understand the above picture...it is simply a simple program written in C to print 500 lines...wish we could have written ours like that in old days...
