A new lease of life

Ian Usher a British immigrant into Australia, has put his entire life up for sale. This includes his house, friends, job and so on. The bid starts at 390,000 Aus $. What surprises me is how the hell does a guy who works as a shop assistant in a carper store come up with such money, and assuming the idiot who is going to take up his 'life', continues to work as a shop assistant in the carpet store, where in the world is he going to come up with the money. Well lets hope things change for Usher, who doesnt want any baggage from his previous life. Maybe he should try a rebirth.

TamilNadu gets progressive

Atlast we have some progressive thinking from the TamilNadu government. The government has finally acknowledged Transsexuals as separate gender, and have added a separate category in he 'Sex' column. Definitely a bold move by Karunanidhi, suprisingly too. With this, the transsexual community can apply for ration cards and avail of government welfare schemes.

Client # 9

While the media is having a field day on Gov. Spitzer's resignation and even following his car from a helicopter, the more advanced thinkers are trying to do their bit. Already t-shirts based on Client # 9 (which was the code word for Spitzer during the operation) have come out.

Thou shalt be punished in hell

The mayor of a southwest village in France, warned its inhabitants of dire consequences if they die. The reason.... Well the local cemetery is full!
May their souls rest in peace.

Anything to save a life

While Viagra may have saved many a marriage, Dr.Girish Arora, a neonatologist (whatever that means) administered small amounts of Viagra to a new born infant dying of pulmonary hypertension. The child is doing well now much to the relief of the parents and certainly the doctor. Imagine the backlash, if he had failed. "Doctor kills infant by administering Viagra".
Wonder what the child will grow up to be? A Mike Myers? :)

The Dream ticket

After yesterdays primaries, its tough to say who the momentum is with. While Obama claims the tide is with him, Clinton points to the startling statistic of her finding favor with more than 70% of the last minute voters. While Clinton in some breakfast shows, has hinted at the possibilty of a dream ticket, where both she and Senator Obama run for the presidential race together, no one is really sure how far it is away from reality. Clinton though, also made clear that she would be person at the top of the ticket. What probably hinders this combo is the Bill. With Hillary as President, Bill would be a virtual Vice-President, leaving Obama to play third fiddle.

With McCain having been chosen as the official nominee of the Republican Party, the Dems need to put their act together and decide on one. It is very clear at this juncture that neither candidate is going to make it to the 2025 delegate count on the basis of just pledged delegates. Many articles claim a numerical impossibility of Clinton, making it through. With the last big states being Pennsylvania on April 22nd, N.Carolina on May 6th with 190 and 140 delegates respectively, I think it will boil down all the way to Puerto Rico on June 7th. Till then the Dems will be splurging all their money attacking each other, while McCain will watch in amusement. 

Reading the mind of Hitler

In the recent documents released by Britain's secret agency MI5, Britain hired an astrologer to read the mind of Hitler. The astrologer earned a captain rank in the army, much to the disgruntlement of others.
