If Shari and Kirk can do it,I can too!
| You Should Rule Mercury |
 Close to sun, Mercury has very long days - and is rarely visible to the rest of the solar system. You are perfect to rule Mercury, because you live for the present - and can truly enjoy a day that goes on forever. Like Mercury, you are quick and elusive. Your wit is outstanding, and you can win any verbal sparring match. Some people see you as superficial, but in truth, you just play many roles and have many interests. A great manipulator, you usually get what you want from people. And they're happy to give it to you. |

"I now know that there is a happy abundance of science writers who pen the most lucid and thrilling prose - Timothy Ferris,Richard Fortey,and Tim Flannery/... but sadly,none of them wrote any textbook I ever used. All mine were written by men(it was always men)who held the interesting notion that everything became clear when expressed as a formula and the amusingly deluded belief that the children of America would appreciate having chapters end with a section of questions they would mull over in their own time."

These are some mails I got today at Orkut..
Two Tough questions….
===Question 1===
If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?
Read the next question before looking at the response for this one.
===Question 2===
It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts.
Here are the facts about the three candidates.
Candidate A. Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologers. He's had two mistresses.
He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.
Candidate B He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium
in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.
Candidate C He is a decorated war hero.
He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.
Which of these candidates would be your choice?
Lets give a shot and try deciding first...
Hope there is no peeking…..
Now if you have decided on your answers, scroll down for the response.
-------------------------------------------------------------

.
Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.
And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question:
If you said YES . . .
. . . you just killed Beethoven - Gr8 musician
Pretty interesting isn't it?
Makes a person think before judging on something.....
Mail from AWAD:
palinode (PAL-uh-noad) noun
A poem in which the author retracts something said in an earlier poem.
[From Greek palinoidia, from palin (again) + oide (song).]
The illustrator and humorist Gelett Burgess (1866-1951) once wrote a
poem called The Purple Cow:
I never saw a purple cow,
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one.
The poem became so popular and he became so closely linked with this single
quatrain he later wrote a palinode:
Confession: and a Portrait, Too,
Upon a Background that I Rue!
Oh, yes, I wrote 'The Purple Cow,'
I'm sorry now I wrote it!
But I can tell you anyhow,
I'll kill you if you quote it."
This was written by a girl with cancer..
SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

Hey, guess what! I calculated the same with my trusty old scientific calculator I named Calcy( couldn't be more obvious) and I got the very same answer! Of course I took only five minutes to solve it.

My mornings usually aren't the "Happy Bubbly Sunshine!" kind. Especially weekday mornings. But they aren't "Hell Day" types either. When I get up, I'm in a haze. Other people don't bother me, as if I have the words "Back off, I bite!" stamped on my forehead. But all you need is a tapful of cold cold water and some strong tea to transform that grump to the delight that is me.
Today morning, it was different. I woke up today with a feeling of utter doom. I was fine, physically, but mentally I was feeling as though the world was coming to an end. I didn't want to get up. I wanted to stay home, watch crummy K soaps, eat Mom's comfort food, and laze. I would have readily done all that if not for the "attendance" twist in the tale. I plan to have no attendance shortage atleast this semester so that I'll spend the fag end of it in peace. I'll have exams coming up, but I'll be cramming in peace nevertheless.
You win some, you lose a lot. Sighhh!
