The Paradoxical Commandments

by Dr. Kent M. Keith

If there ever was a proper guide to show us the right way,this would be it.Read it and remember, practice what your preach.Make the world a better place.

Peace

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.

Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.

Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.

Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.

Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.

Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.

Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.

Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.

Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.

Give the world the best you have anyway.

The light bulb myth

Did you know that Thomas Alva Edison might have been the greatest inventor in history with up to 1093 patents but did not actually invent the light bulb?

The idea behind the ingenious idea of light bulb belongs to English scientist Sir Humphry Davy,who invented arc lighting (using a carbon filament). For many years, numerous innovators would improve on Davy's model. The only problem: none could glow for more than twelve hours before the filament broke.

So,why is it always credited to Edison?

Edison together with his technician's in the lab were the first to find the right filament that would burn for days on end.Definitely a major contribution but not the inventors.

Might be a few years late but anyways,its time to honor the rightful inventor of the light bulb,

Sir Humphry Davy

Gotta love the geordies

Finally,im writing about football again,there's always an itch to write about football,it just never goes..haha...anyways,after United's last game against Newcastle, there was something that I realized.
St.James's park or whatever that fat,chest-baring nut of an owner might have named the place is just a great stadium to play at.It has the atmosphere football had in England back in the 90's.It was just like then,when I  remember watching Cantona,Shearer,Zola,Henry,McManaman and many other lite up the stage of English footballl with a backdrop of passionate cheering supporters.You just dont get those kind of supporters anymore today, except for a few places like in Britannia,Molineux and especially at St.James's.

49,025 fans in black and white strip, geordies you call them,respect I give them.

And damn,wasnt it a tough game there last night,passionate,passionate play by the team.Alan Pardew did promise that his team will fight all the way, and by having Tiote back, there were in full swing, and oh that boy Barton, he proved that he can play football too,Collocini and Guttiriez were magnificent as usual.Come to think about it, with better management, and better than Pardew(somebody please) the boys in black and white have a better future in the league.9th place doesnt really reflect their potential, a team that can bounce back from 4-0 down at home are a team that is of belief.And belief son, in any sport, can take you right to the top.

Yes you are legend Sir Alan Shearer,perhaps England's finest striker in modern day football

and to commemorate the loyal,passionate fans of Newcastle United, I'll give to you,some of their finest terrace chants.(CAUTION:You may be offended.hah!)

A russian wedding

This post might be a little offensive and a whole load of tragicness,but what the heck,its funny.lol.
Have a read and maybe you will be somewhere else today thinking back,laughing to yourself about it.


In 2010, a Russian wedding ended in tragedy after a game of Russian roulette went wrong, leaving one guest with a life-threatening gunshot wound to his head. A home video of the wedding in Astrakhan, southern Russia, shows a grinning friend of the groom unexpectedly pulling a pistol from his waistband, putting it to his temple and squeezing the trigger. The gun emits only a clicking sound and the smiling gunman asks who else wants to try his luck.



Another guest is shown taking up the offer, but this time the trick goes wrong. The second man pulls the trigger and immediately collapses to the floor as the gun releases a rubber bullet into his skull at point-blank range. He was reported to be fighting for his life.


The gunman, a 33 year-old Chechen man, insists he was sure that he had emptied the pistol's chamber of every bullet and says he only wanted to enliven the wedding. But local police do not believe him and have opened a criminal investigation into the tragic incident.

Here is a video of the event.....hahahahahahaa....

She's not the same!

When you meet someone so eerily similar and you wonder why that is,you tend to find out how could it be.and when you cant,you try to deny it is similar.but you are denying it because you are afraid there is someone just like you,who walks talks acts like you and would think the same like you,and there wont be anywhere where you could be yourself because that person is just like you,and he will be there too.

isnt that right preets?

do you feel scared??

come to papa....


haha,but seriously, you were equally as shocked as I was,isnt it? its like we know we think alike and have the same interests,i kind of read your so called personality description of a dreamy idealist, and I am that too....maybe I got it all wrong, maybe its that when you find someone like you,you wish it was someone more like you than ever before,because for once, there wont be a need to explain more,they'd just understand,they wont be a neccessity for a lie,they wont be a reason for changing the topic,it would be all the simpler...

it is quite puzzling....whatever it is,im awesome....and she is not so bad,kinda nice girl....really good friend,and smart too,adorable when she is angry and loosing to me,but still adorable and kinda fun to be with,bet she is smiling from ear to ear now.

This picture further creeps me out...

Little Boy and Fat Man

You'd be fooled if you thought this post is about some small boy or a fat man.

Little Boy and Fat Man are the code names of the two atomic bombs used by the Americans to pound their fist and officially register as the first nuclear arseholes at Hiroshima (Little Boy) first and Nagasaki (Fat Man) later.


No prizes for guessing which is which


The impact on Hiroshima killed an estimated 80 000 people and the casualtiy by the end of 1945 was 90-14000 and countless from radiation later on.

The impact on Nagasaki killed an estimate 79 884 and the casualties from radiation later on was never really known.

Eventhough its common knowledge that the Japanese were  cruel  when they invaded other countries, the answer to that is never violence, especially to those innocents leaving in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

why dont you just hold those involved in the Japanese Military for trial in manslaughter?

Nuclear weapon is never the answer,or the matter of fact,any weapon.Biological,chemical,nuclear, nothing.


As the Great Bob Marley once said,

We should really love each other in peace and harmony, instead we're fussin' n fighting like we ain't supposed to be



Free the world from slavery

though the traditional slavery is gone,slavery is still very much with the world.do you know there are kids in india who put in 15hour shifts a day to earn as little as two dollars?the world would want you to believe all is fine and the only wrong is global warming and nuclear catastrophe.BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CATASTROPHE OF SLAVERY AMONGST MAN, AND MORE SADDENING,AMONGST KIDS?



THE WORLD IS SUCH FUCKED THAT WE DONT MOVE TILL ITS OUR FAMILY.AND WHEN IT IS OUR FAMILY,WE WANT THE WORLD TO MOVE.WHY BE SUCH HYPOCRITES?REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WORLD AND PEOPLE IN IT.THERE ARE 27MILLION SLAVES IN THE WORLD.THERE IS NO MIRACLE THAT WILL HELP THEM TO FREE THEMSELVES.WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.DONT ASK ME WHY?ITS CALLED HUMANITY AND BEING HUMAN,YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS BY NOW.IF YOU ASK ME HOW,I CAN LET YOU KNOW.

Who We Are

Free the Slaves is a not for profit organization made up of people who don't want to live in a world with slavery. And they're willing to do something about it.

We don't waste time debating which kind of slavery is worse -- brick kilns or carpet looms, sex or domestic, new or old -- it's all horrible. Slavery is a dark slash across the heart of all humanity.

We believe there are no easy answers to eradicating slavery. But there are answers from the people who are enslaved and those helping them to freedom. There is no single path to liberation - the paths are many - we will tread them all before our job is done.

BE HUMANS.DO SOMETHING.DONATE.IF YOU CANT,PASS THE MESSAGE.AT LEAST DO SOMETHING

AND BE A HUMAN.

Paper Money

Look at the below image,look at the kids,look at them playing ,but try to look bit closer to notice what are they playing with.....

yeap,thats right, its a picture of kids in Germany during the 20's playing with stacks of money

Never knew that was possible,right? It is,and the cause for this is hyperinflation and thats exactly what caused the German bank notes to be so worthless that the paper it was printed on became more expensive than the money itself.


I myself dont know much about hyperinflation but the terms would generally means inflation at a hyper rate.Let me back it up a little bit for those who dont know what inflation means.


Inflation is just the level of change in the value of money, lets say,for example, an apple in 2010 would have cost 95cents and today a dollar.So,it goes to say that the level of increase in price is inflation.

To calculate:


(1.00-0.95/1.00) X 100% = 5%


Meaning, the inflation rate from last year to this is about 5%.

Now,we are talking about hyper-inflation, and hyper-inflation is a much more severe case of increase in price, from what I have read, generally, its at a rate of about 50% every month.So, if we take the apple earlier, the price of the apple could increase by 47.25cents every month, and by the end of the year, it could cost roughly about 11 dollars...and so on....if this goes on, smaller notes become too little to be bothered, and worthless....the banks would then start printing larger value of notes......untill you see a enermous value on a bank note,like the one below...

This is a picture of  a 100 million Hungarian Pengő note and was the highest denomination of banknote ever issued, worth 10²⁰ or 100 quintillion

And thus, the dubious honor of having the largest bank note ever printed and used by the public belongs to the Magyar Nemzeti Bank of Hungary.

If you dont know how much 100 quintillion is, start counting the zeros,its about 100 000 000 000 000 000 000.

This was at the peak of hyperinflation of Hungary, which went through the worst inflation ever recorded between the end of 1945 and July 1946.

Gotta pity those hungarians,i bet the hyper-inflation produced many hungry hungarians  ;)

I Wiki-pedia'd myself through uni...lol

Ahhh,talk about my sweet pal Wikipedia...he is the best buddy any lazy procrastinating student "who's in deep shit and needs to submit assignment in few hours "can find on the internet and together with my other buddies ,Copy and Paste,so often  they have left me smiling to myself...

On a more serious note, I personally believe Wikipedia is just a brilliant idea of knowledge sharing,try searchin anything on Google and chances are that a Wikipedia page would be one of of your first answers.The good thing about the site is that the manner information is presented,its made consise and there is a content review before it starts.Thats something I really do appreciate and I appreciate even more when Im trying hard to complete an assignment due the next day,(I hope my lecturers don't read this.lol).

Anyways, there are three other reasons I love it:

• Its free....yeap,im being Indian
• Its supported by a non-profit organisation, Wikimedia 
• Its written by volunteers

Infact, in honor of the superb job done by this people, in 2006 Time magazine decided to give their annual Time Person Of The Year award to all of You who have contributed to the articles on Wikipedia, together with those of Youtube/Myspace and Facebook.

this goes out to my form 5 chemistry teacher who said I'll be a failure in life,bitch.

So,in short,thanks Wiki for me going waikikikiiiiiiiiii jolly on my assignments.I am graduating this month,so I guess,this is it...the sad break up.Any other relationship's I will have with you will have to be referenced.And everybody knows,referencing just doesnt do it...Kudos man...

Six degrees of separation

They say theories are derived by geniuses and most of them are boring.Well,what if I say to you, that there is a theory that says that you are a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of Barrack Obama?


What?! you and me...? blehh

or the Pope,the Queen, Osamma bin Laden or any other person for that matter of fact.
How u ask me?

Its something which is known as the Six Degrees of Separation.It refers to the theory that any two random people in this world are on average six steps away from each other, or easier said, you could be a six degree friend or less than that to any other random person in the planet.And yes,it includes the terrorists.it includes the Pakistanis,im not suggesting anything.It includes everybody in the planet.

It was originally thought of by this guy Frigyes Karinthy, who's brilliant idea even made it to become a play, which was so good that it was nominated for the Pulitzer Price and later a movie featuring a very young Will Smith,which was also so good that it helped actress Stockard Channing win the Oscar's in 1994.

The theory was even researched by Researchers at Microsoft, who studied records of 30 billion electronic conversations among 180 million people in various countries.They figured out that any two strangers are, on average, distanced by precisely 6.6 degrees of separation. In other words, putting fractions to one side, you are linked by a string of seven or fewer acquaintances to Madonna, the Dalai Lama and the Queen.

I beg your pardon,is this even possible?

Well Your Majesty it is, they even found a way through your facebook account, a few years back, some dude by the name of Karl Bunyan came up with a facebook platform application named "Six Degrees", which calculated the degrees of separation between different people. Using about 5.8 million user accounts,the average separation for all users of the application was found to be 5.73 degrees.So, if the Queen is really on fb, she just got owned.haha.

and guess what, its so awesome that there is a trivia game based on this concept that links any actor in Hollywood to Kevin Bacon through six degrees or less ( a degree is calculated from any movie where the actor has played a role with or alongside Kevin Bacon).Thus,creathing the game named.....yeap,u guessed it..........Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon!

So, the next time you feel useless, think again, at least you know somebody famous like Slash or Santana through 6 people,isn't that alone good enough to make yourself feel good......?!!
