a take on life

I think God must be watching us humans from upstairs, trying to figure out the world, its working, making war, love and having fun etc in the same way as adults might see these two kids having fun and learning something new!

Aristotle would be proud

Aristotle would have been proud to see this youtube video.

But this is one of the funniest video.

This is how we do it!

Cheating

Reading this post on the Overcoming Bias blog, I had the itch to comment the following joke that I had read just a little while ago. I managed to overcome my temptation to burst into a serious scientific discussion but I can atleast torture the few eyeballs this blog recieves :P

Friendship between women: A woman didn't come home one night. 
The next day she told her husband that she had slept over at a friends's house. 
The man called his wife's 10 best friends. None of them knew anything about it. 

Friendship between men: A man didn't come home one night. 
The next day he told his wife that he had slept over at a friend's house. 
The woman called her husband's 10 best friends. 
8 of them confirmed he had slept over and two claimed that he was still there.

Apologies to Squirreldom

In an earlier post, I had made fun of a squirrel but now two of them in England have proved me wrong. They exhibit such intelligence worthy of approval and cuteness rivalling that of cats in this story.

Two squirrels cooperated to pillage the seeds from a hanging bird feeder. So they are not just rats with good PR it seems.

Shashi Tharoor on Colbert Nation

Shashi Tharoor engages in a lively entertaining dialogue with Stephen Colbert. Tharoor is suave and definitely a good debater. Worth watching for the fun.
