Santa's stop only for 34 microseconds!

Christmas is approaching and St.Nicholas(Santa Claus) must be busy shopping for presents. The Swedes, given to detail even where fables are concerned, have made an amusing calculation about Santa's journey of gift-giving!Ho!Ho!Ho!Interesting!

Between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Santa Claus's route around the planet includes stops at 2.5 billion homes, assuming that children of all religions receive a present from the jolly man in the red suit, Anders Larsson of the engineering consultancy Sweco told Agence France-Presse.

"He has 34 microseconds at each stop" to slide down the chimney, drop off the presents, nibble on his cookies and milk and hop back on his sleigh, Larsson said.

Santa's reindeer must travel at a speed of 5800 kilometres per second to make the trip on time.

Another report suggested however that Santa's sleigh, weighed down with presents and travelling at supersonic speed, would encounter such massive air resistance that the entire contraption would burst into flames and be vaporised within 4,26 thousandths of a second.

Ugliest man!

He doesnt look ugly to me. But the poor rich man has lost faith in his looks garnering a wife for him! And to date, he has had 5000 marriage proposals turned down! That must be a downer for him! But he hasnt given up hope yet!

He seems to have gone grey and lost most of his hair in his quest.
Maybe if he stopped trying so hard, he may find success!

How to handle loud cellphone talkers

A number of times I have experienced this annoying habit in people not only making a racket and a nuisance of themselves talking on cellphones without and with bluetooth handsfree devices tucked away in their ears. I found this appropriate video for sharing my angst. Watch the fun unfold here.
These day cellphone jammers are being used by private individuals (though it is illegal)who effectively jam out the signals of loud talkers around them. Cellphone etiquette has still not quite caught on if people are desparate enough to use private jammers!

Rajnikant,gravity defying Star!

Who is Rajnikanth? India's highest paid actor, that's who he is. His films, which are famous for their garish costumes, punch lines and his trademark utterly mind-boggling tricks are big money grossers. Infact, it is best to suspend your disbelief in the unnatural actions and tricks and simply give in to the entertainment of the scenes.
The hilarious email forward(of unknown author)making the rounds these days goes somewhat like this:

Isaac Newton comes to India on a trip and after seeing Rajnikant movies was convinced that all his logic & laws in physics were just a huge pile of junk...
Why? Because of the following scenes-
1)Brain Drain : Rajnikanth has a Brain Tumor which, according to the doctors can't be cured and his death is imminent. In one of the fights,he is shot in the head. To everybody's surprise, the bullet passes through his ears taking away the tumor along with it and he is cured!
2)Blade Splitter : A goon shoots a bullet at Rajni. What does he do? He simply takes out a blade from his pocket and throws it at the bullet while it is still in mid-air.The bullet splits into two and goes in different directions - avoiding our superhero and the two goons who are standing behind Rajni get killed by the split bullets!
3)Inspired Shooting : Rajnikant gets to know that the villain is on the other side of a very high wall. Unfortunately the wall is so high that our otherwise gravity-defying superhero cant jump over it. But the villain has to be killed because the film is nearing the end.So what does he do? He suddenly pulls two guns from his pocket, throws one gun in the air and when the gun has reached the height of the wall, he shoots the trigger of the first gun in air, with his second gun. The first gun ends up shooting the villian and he falls dead!
4) Bollywood Style : Rajnikanth plays a police officer and is sitting on his motorcycle under a coconut tree. Suddenly he sees a couple of villains escaping in a car.Not one to do things the ordinary way, Rajni holds the clutch, puts his bike in gear, takes his gun and fires upwards. A coconut falls on the starter, Rajni releases his clutch, and away he goes chasing the villains!
5)Magnetic Pull: Rajnikant is sitting in a college campus, waiting for some goons to harass the girls. When he sees them coming on their bicycles, he takes out two huge Iron Yoke magnets from his pocket, twists them wildly in the air which lifts the goons in the air with their cycles and they all twist in perfect harmony.He then puts the magnets back in his pockets,and the goons fall to the ground!
6)And lastly,Rajanikanth is chased by a gangster.Rajnikant has a revolver but no bullets in it. Guess what he does? You can never guess in your remotest imaginations.He waits for the gangster to shoot. As soon as the gangster shoots, Rajanikanth opens the bullet compartment of his revolver and catches the bullet. Then, he closes the bullet compartment and fires his gun.
This was too much for Newton to take and he faints!
