Punctuation is Powerful!

Punctuation is Powerful!

An English professor wrote the words:

"A woman without her man is nothing"

on the chalkboard and asked his students to punctuate it correctly.

All of the males in the class wrote:

"A woman, without her man, is nothing."

All the females in the class wrote:

"A woman: without her, man is nothing."

Moral: Punctuation is powerful :-)

AWARD WINNING JOKE

Really nice oneJ

 “AWARD WINNING JOKE”

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are extremely mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know all about it. If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved. The boys’ mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually.

So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.

The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly,

“Do you know where God is, son?”

The boy’s mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.

So the preacher repeated the question in an even

sterner tone, “Where is God?!”

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher

raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy’s face and bellowed,

“Where is God?!”

The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, “what happened?”

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, “We

are in BIG trouble this time.

Intellectual MANTRA

“Intellectual MANTRA” 

While I was in a Restaurant, suddenly a cockroach flew from somewhere and sat on a lady standing a little away from me.

She started screaming out of fear. With panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group got cranky to what was happening. The lady finally managed to push the cockroach to another lady in the group.

Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama. The waiter rushed forward to their rescue.

In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.

The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt.

When he was confident enough, he grabbed and threw it out with his fingers.

Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering:

- Was the cockroach responsible for the ladies' histrionic behavior?

- If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed? He handled it near to perfection - without any chaos or drama.

- So, it was not the cockroach, but the inability of the ladies to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed them.

I also realized even in my case then, it is not the shouting of my father or scolding of my boss that disturbs me, but it's my own inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturb me.

Similarly, it's not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused in my mind by the traffic jam that disturbs me.

More than the problem, it's my own reaction to the problem that hurts me!

The Take-Away:

- The women reacted but the waiter responded.

- We must not react in life; we should always respond.

- Reactions are instinctive; responses are intellectual. 

Funny..

Why are wives more dangerous than the Mafia? The mafia wants either ur money or life... The wives want both!

Marriage is like a public toilet Those waiting outside are desperate to get in & Those inside are desperate to come out.

No Man Can Ever Be Satisfied

with 4 things in life.

(1) Mobile

(2) Automobile

(3) TV

(4) Wife

Because there is always a better model in neighborhood.

Searching these keywords on Google `How to tackle wife?`

Google search result, `Good day sir, Even we are searching`.

Compromising does not mean you are wrong and your wife is right. It

only means that the safety of your head is much more important than your ego!

Imagine living with 3 wives in one compound and never leaving the house for 5 years.Osama Bin Laden must have called the US Navy Seals himself!

Whisky is a brilliant invention. One double and you start feeling single again.

A friend recently explained why he refuses to get married.

He says the wedding rings look like miniature handcuffs.

It is said that when a woman closes her eyes, she sees the person she is in love the most; and when a man does that... the slide show begins.

It takes thousand workers 2 build a castle, Million soldiers to protect a country, but just One woman 2 make a Happy Home --------- A Good Maid!

All girls are devils,

but my wife is the queen

Air Traffic

THIS IS THE ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING VIDEOS…!!!!

    

What you will see in the attached movie clip is the air traffic around the world over a period of 24 hours… taken from a satellite.  

It is a 24 hour observation of all of the large aircraft flights in the world, condensed down to just over a minute. From space we look like a bee hive of activity.  

I’m sure that you won't believe this at first…!!!  

   

The yellow dots are airplanes in the sky during a 24 hour period.  

   

Stay with the picture or watch it over again… and notice the following:  

* See the light of the day moving from the east to the west, as the Earth spins on it's axis.

* See the flow of aircraft traffic leaving the North American continent and traveling at night to arrive in the UK in the morning.  

* Then see the flow changing, leaving the UK in the morning and flying to the American continent in daylight.  

* See if you realize that it was summer time in the north (by the sun's foot print over the planet).

* See the daylight pattern moving across the earth’s surface… and that the sun didn't quite set in the extreme north and it didn't quite rise in the extreme south.  

   

I have never seen anything as explanative as this before.

We are taught about the earth's tilt… and how it causes summer and winter… and also the movement of the daylight pattern… and till now we have had to just use our imagination to picture what is going on.  

   

With this 24 hour observation of aircraft travel on the earth's surface… we get to see the above in actual action...  

   

Remember to watch the day to night..... Day is over in Australia when it starts.

Joke of the day

Joke of the day

A woman who died found herself standing outside the Pearly Gates, being greeted by St. Peter.

She asked him, "Oh, is this place what I really think it is? It's so beautiful.

Did I really make it to heaven?"

To which St. Peter replied, "Yes, my dear, these are the Gates to Heaven. But you must do one more thing before you can enter." The woman was very excited, and asked of St. Peter what she must do to pass through the gates. "Spell a word," St. Peter replied. "What word?" she asked.

"Any word," answered St. Peter. "It's your choice." The woman promptly replied, "Then the word I will spell is love.L-o-v-e."

St. Peter congratulated her on her good fortune to have made it to Heaven, and asked her if she would mind taking his place at the gates for a few minutes while he went to the bathroom.

"I'd be honored," she said, "but what should I do if someone comes while you are gone?"

St. Peter reassured her, and instructed the woman to simply have any newcomers to the Pearly Gates to spell a word as she had done.

So the woman is left sitting in St. Peter's chair and watching the beautiful angels soaring around her when a man approaches the gates. She realizes it is her loser husband.

"What happened?" she cried, "Why are you here?"

Her husband stared at her for a moment, then said, "I was so drunk when I left your funeral, I was in an accident. And now I am here? Did I really make it to Heaven?"

To which the woman replied, "Not yet. You must spell a word first."

"What word?" he asked.

The woman responded, "Czechoslovakia."

Joke

God asked Lal Bahadur Shastri how many children he had during his time on earth.

He replied, “I had three!”

God was very Happy with the relatively good family planning adopted.

God gave Shastri a Mercedes!

Subhash Chandra Bose was asked the same question.

When he replied that he had 10 children

God was a bit upset and gave him a cheaper car, the Ford.

The next is Jawaharlal. He decided to see what happens if he says he had 15 children.

God is pretty angry and gives him an inexpensive Maruti.

After Sometime, the three saw Mahatma Gandhi returning on foot.

They ask why God hadn’t given him anything

Gandhiji replied with anger,

“Some idiot told God that I was the father of a nation!“

Very cleverly done - a wonderful lesson put to music - sit back and enjoy it like I did.

Good Thought..

JUDGE

Once upon a time there was a painter who had just completed his course. He took 3 days and painted beautiful scenery. He wanted people's opinion about his caliber and painting skills.

He put his creation at a busy street-crossing. And just down below aboard which read -"I have painted this piece. Since I'm new to this profession I might have committed some mistakes in my strokes etc. Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake."

While he came back in the evening to collect his painting he was completely shattered to see that whole canvass was filled with Xs (crosses) and some people had even written their comments on the painting.

Disheartened and broken completely he ran to his master's place and burst into tears.

This young artist was breathing heavily and master heard him saying"I'm useless and if this is what I have learnt to paint I'm not worth becoming a painter. People have rejected me completely. I feel like dying"

Master smiled and suggested "My Son, I will prove that you are a great artist and have learnt a flawless painting. Do as I say without questioning it. It WILL work."

Young artist reluctantly agreed and two days later early morning he presented a replica of his earlier painting to his master. Master took that gracefully and smiled.

"Come with me." master said.

They reached the same street-square early morning and displayed the same painting exactly at the same place. Now master took out another board which read -"Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. Since I'm new to this profession I might have committed some mistakes in my strokes etc. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please do a favor. If you see a mistake, kindly pick up the brush and correct it."

Master and disciple walked back home.

They both visited the place same evening. Young painter was surprised to see that actually there was not a single correction done so far. Next day again they visited and found painting remained untouched. They say the painting was kept there for a month for no correction came in!

Moral of the story:

It is easier to criticize, but DIFFICULT TO IMPROVE!

So don't get carried away or judge yourself by someone else’s criticism and feel depressed...

JUDGE YOURSELF! YOU ARE YOUR BEST JUDGE!!!

Spark of the Day - Hot Chocolate

Spark of the Day - Hot Chocolate

A groupof graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunionand decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired. Duringtheir visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in theirwork and lives.. Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor wentinto the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and anassortment of cups - porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, someexpensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the hotchocolate.

When they all had a cup of hot chocolatein hand, the professor said: "Notice that all the nice looking, expensivecups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normalfor you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of yourproblems and stress. The cup that you're drinking from adds nothing tothe quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensiveand in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wantedwas hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups...And then you began eyeing each other's cups.

Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate;your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just toolsto hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor changethe quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup,we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate God has provided us. God makes the hotchocolate, man chooses the cups. The happiest people don't have the bestof everything. They just make the best of everything that they have.

Live simply. Love generously.Care deeply. Speak kindly. And enjoy your hot chocolate

Hotel offers free meal to guests who are willing to generate electricity 

The Crown Plaza Hotel in Copenhagen , Denmark , is offering a free meal to any guest who is able to produce electricity for the hotel on an exercise bike attached to a generator. Guests will have to produce at least 10 watt hours of electricity - roughly 15 minutes of cycling for someone of average fitness. They will then be given meal vouchers worth $36 (26 euros).

Disco pub gets electricity produced by people dancing at specially modified dance floor

All the flashing strobes and pounding speakers at the dance club are massive consumers of electrical power. So Bar Surya, in London, re-outfitted its floor with springs that, when compressed by dancers, could produce electrical current that would be stored in batteries and used to offset some of the club's electrical burden. The club's owner, Andrew Charalambous, said the dance floor can now power 60 percent of the club's energy needs.

Company creates a desktop printer that doesn't use ink nor paper

Who says printers only use paper to print documents? It's time for you to meet the PrePeat Printer then. Different from conventional printers, PrePeat adopts a thermal head to print on specially-made plastic sheets. These plastic sheets are not merely water-proof, but could be easily erased, just feed the sheets through the printer again, and a different temperature will erase everything or just write over it. Also claimed by the manufacturer, such one sheet could be used up to 1,000 times so that you'll reduce your expenses on paper for sure.

 

University constructs a green roof as a gathering place

Green design is an enormously popular trend in modern architecture, just take a look at this amazing green roof at the School of Art , Design and Media at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore . This 5-story facility sweeps a wooded corner of the campus with an organic, vegetated form that blends landscape and structure, nature and high-tech and symbolizes the creativity it houses. The roofs serve as informal gathering spaces challenging linear ideas and stirring perception. The roofs create open space, insulate the building, cool the surrounding air and harvest rainwater for landscaping irrigation. Planted grasses mix with native greenery to colonize the building and bond it to the setting. 

 

Designer creates a sink that uses wasted water to grow a plant

Made of polished stained concrete, the Zen Garden Sink has a channel that allows the water used while washing your hands to water a plant. Created by young Montreal designer Jean-Michel Gauvreau the sink comes in single or double basin model. The sink is designed in a way you won't get your plants all soapy. There is a main drain at the bottom of the basin for soapy grime. Your little plant friend just gets whatever you choose to dole out. 

 

Designer creates a shower that forces you to leave when you've wasted too much water

20% of our total domestic energy usage is from hot water for showering and bathing. That's over 6 times the energy usage of domestic lighting. So designer Tommaso Colia came up with his eco-friendly shower design that will force you to get out when you take too long and waste much water. The eco_drop shower features beautiful concentric circles that will rise to force you to stop showering when you take too long, and accordingly save water. 

 

Designer creates light-switch that changes colors to teach children how to save energy

Teaching the importance of energy conservation is the goal of this design from Tim Holley. He calls it Tio, and it's a ghost-shaped light switch that gives kids a visual reminder of how much energy they've used by leaving lights on. Tio starts out green and smiling. If the light is left on for more than four hours, he turns yellow and looks shocked. And if you dare to leave that light on for more than eight hours, sweet little Tio turns into a raging red hulk, complete with frowny mouth and angry eyes. But he won't just visually remind your kids about their energy habits; information from the light switch is sent to Tio's computer program so the entire family can see how they're doing. In a brilliant piece of visual positive reinforcement, Holley's program lets kids grow a “virtual tree†which gets bigger and healthier the more energy they save. 

 

Environmental company creates a staple-free stapler to avoid staple pollution

Staples are supposed to be so bad to the environment that a company decided to create a staple-free stapler. This product promises to make collation eco-friendly. Instead of using those thin metal planet-killers, the staple-free stapler "cuts out tiny strips of paper and uses the strips to stitch up to five pieces of paper together." You can even order them customized with your corporate logo so you can, you know, brag about what your company is doing to stop the staple epidemic.
