Overheard

Overheard at Victoria's Secret sale event, near a huge stack of panties, during their underwear sale event - "wow these are huge". The speaker was a woman holding up a pair.

Overhead in a TV serial - "They destroyed my roses. Eat lead, you bastards"

Humor in the bookstore

"Atlas Shrugged" placed in the Humor section in the bookstore. The book on the left is "Undateable" and on the right is "11002 things to be miserable about". I salute the joker who did this - I liked the joke.

Avoid sugary, fatty and carb rich food.

All pun intended

I wonder how much brain power they spent in thinking of the product name.

in today's odd news: Scientists use Calvin Klein cologne to lure jaguars

nospam@example.com (Raj Shekhar) — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 15:16:07 +0000

Biologists Rony Garcia and Jose Moreira from the Wildlife Conservation Society's (WCS) Jaguar Conservation Program rely on Obsession for Men, a cologne known for its complex scent, to help lure jaguars in the Central American country.

Note that this scent works on jaguars. There is no research of its effects on cougars .

The discovery that Obsession for Men acted as a magnet for jaguars was the result of an experiment by the WCS's Bronx Zoo in New York. The WCS was looking for ways to get cheetahs in front of camera traps, and, after several years of testing with different fragrances, found spraying the musky Obsession For Men near the heat-and-motion-sensitive cameras drew the cats for longer than other scents.

I arranged my closet and I found out that I have more shirts than t-shirts. Luckily, I have only one pair of pants and 6 pairs of jeans, so I am not handing back my geek badge anytime soon

interesting spam

This is from a spam I got recently. It had "Viagra" spelled out using table (like an 8x8 display). Interesting

What is PythonOnPlanes ?

PythonOnPlanes is a rapid development framework for Python which uses commonly known design patterns like ActiveRecord, Association Data Mapping, Front Controller and MVC.

stuff that sucks

nospam@example.com (Raj Shekhar) — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 11:57:51 +0000

Small list of stuff everyone thinks is cool, but I did not find them worth the price all the electrons had to pay

Second life - seriously people, what is so great about it that you are paying real world money for virtual stuff.
A-list Bloggers - some of them are a bunch of pretentious idiots. Enough said.

desperate to be noticed ?

nospam@example.com (Raj Shekhar) — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 04:04:18 +0000

Seen on one of the mailing lists that I am on

I've heard it said - and find this to be true in enough cases to be useful as a rough guide - that men often try to stimulate conversation by disagreement, while women generally do the opposite (this provides a highly amusing view of teenagers' conversations involving the apposite sex, which tend to illustrate this, or something very close to it.) If so, then the Net often appears to be full of 12-year-old boys, stoned out of their minds on their brand-new experience with testosterone and desperate to be noticed.

Unluckily ( ) Yahoo! Bangalore has seen a big influx of "freshers" these days. Most of them come across as idiots, but I guess it is just their eagerness ( perhaps desperation would be the correct word) to get noticed.
