Is it just me or are the conference calls much clearer this morning? 🙂

#NSAsnoopingOnAmericanCitizensProvisionExpires

During my 8 mile run yesterday, I came across this store. And my first reaction was – this must have been named by a woman. Only a woman would feel compelled to put in a descriptive adjective like “fine” for lingerie. To a man, of course, there is no other kind 🙂

Microsoft released a new version of Word specially for Indians today. The spell checker is switched off 🙂

#IndianKidsRuleSpellingBee

Here is an interesting piece of news that should make all oenophiles in the world throw up – apparently, good wine tastes like koala bear urine. You can read about it here: http://io9.com/good-wine-tastes-more-like-koala-urine-than-youd-think-1706588545

Who in this world sits in their lab and conjures up these experiments? Did somebody go – “I know. Here is a discovery idea that will revolutionize the world. I am going to taste all animal urine and see which one tastes most like wine!!”

And who funds these kind of experiments?

Can’t wait till Wine Spectator puts its rating on the new errrr… “Pee”no Grigio??? 🙂

And that he was the inspiration behind the movie “A Beautiful Mind”?

What did you say? You got to know it over and over again from virtually all your Facebook friends who thought they should post the same news?

Odd! Do we have the same Facebook friends?

There is an article today in USA Today to inform us that researchers have made a big breakthrough in understanding why men exist. You can read about it here …

A few points are in order here…. First, this has to be a body blow to the opinions of quite a few women 🙂

Second, who is funding these kind of research? Have we already figured out how to cure cancer?

Third, three letters, I say. N F L 🙂

Apparently, Microsoft just released a study that has shown that technology is shortening our attention span. You can read it here

This, of course, was published by Microsoft’s Department of Stating the Obvious. In the department’s defense, they said they would have come out with the research results a few years back but they kept getting distracted while checking their Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts 🙂 I am also guessing nobody in that department has a teenager kid 🙂

I was driving peacefully down I-94 from Milwaukee to Chicago, when I suddenly came across this board – somewhere in Wisconsin before I hit Illinois. Excitedly, I pulled over and looked around. Sadly, there was no sign of any soccer balls around, no smell of fried fish and no “khichuri” to be seen on this cloudy and rainy day! I could not even find a single person smoking a cigarette for that matter…

Total false advertising, I say!!

I understand Carly Fiorina today announced that she is going to stand to become the President of USA.

My guess is after becoming the President, she will force an unwanted merger of Mexico with USA, resulting in USA losing half its value and 15% losing their jobs and then eventually forced to resign from her post.

You know, like she did last time she was President of something about ten years back. 🙂

… I am not the one who can claim to be an inspirational or influential leader. But boy, have I found out how to get a large segment of my FB friends to do what they would not have done otherwise?

All I need to do is write a post and mention “you can hold back all those blah blah blah…”

And everybody seems to want to make a beeline for expressing those blah blahs 😉

All the same, thank you all!
