Posted by R MAK 21 November, 2008 (0) Comment

Probably this is why you should always look over your kids homework. It only take a few minute in the morning and it can save you a lot of embarrassment. Following is the drawing a kid made about his parent’s work. The teacher asked the kids in class to draw how their parents make money. The teacher got panicked after looking at the picture the kid drew. rushed to principle’s office who called the mother of child for some serious talk.

Before I tell you about the profession of the kid’s Mom, have a  look at the kid’s drawing.

I want to be Like Mom

The child was drawing a picture about what his mother does for a living. The mother works at Home Depot and the picture depicts the mother selling a shovel.

2010 Ford Mustang GT Convertible: Review and Pictures

Posted by R MAK 19 November, 2008 (2) Comment

Ford unveiled the new 2010 Mustang GT convertible at L. A. Auto Show. Customers will have an option of choosing between V-6 and V-8 Models. Both Models have been made with unitized welded steel body with aluminum hoods for reducing body weight. These beautiful cars have been assembled at Flat Rock Plant in Mich.

I specially like the mustang with V8 model with 4.6 liter engine installed at 90 degrees. It is capable of producing whopping 320 Horsepower at 6250 rpm. The Torque is rated at 325 lb.-ft @ approx 4250 rpm. Both of 2010 mustang use 87 octane fuel and are fitted with 16 gallon tanks. Fuel economy figures are not available yet but with current drop in oil prices, it does not matter anymore.

Front and rare suspensions have solid stabilizer bars as well as coil springs. Power steering is pretty much standard. Good thing is smaller turning circle if just under 35 feet. which is impressive looking at length of car.

Specs aside, ford has every thing people look in a convertible. here are few of the reasons why I like to have a convertible

    1. It eliminates blind spots while driving
    2. Passive sun tan.
    3. Unlimited Head Room

    5. You can forget keys in car and lock it.
    6. You can see the sky
    7. Good for dating.
    8. They are fun to drive, Ultimate head turner
    9. You don’t have to listen to boring chats. (Wind and noise)

    Difficult Landings: Toncontin International Airport, Honduras

    Posted by R MAK 17 November, 2008 (0) Comment

    Just before landing, the plane drops several hundred feet, Then it takes a sharp U turn and then suddenly touches down at strange angle. Cabin is full of the sound of air and ground brakes as the plane stops. I thank the God and the seat belts, that kept me from smashing into the seats in front. Plane has finally come to a halt and It is all over.

    This was not a crash landing. It was just another ordinary Boeing 757 landing at Toncontín International Airport in Honduras.

    I have flown well over the country and beyond. I don’t know about any other airport that can compare to Runway 02 at Toncontín International. Its not an airport, It is like a hurdle race. Every possible danger that you can associated with a landing strip is available. Take a good look at following pictures of Runway 02 of TIA, Honduras.

    Where Would You Go?

    Posted by R MAK 14 November, 2008 (0) Comment

    Sitting behind a couple of nuns at a baseball game (with their habits partially blocking the view), three men decided to badger the nuns in an effort to get them to move.

    In a very loud voice, the first guy said,

    “I think I’m going to move to Utah, there are only 100 nuns living there.”

    The second guy spoke up and said,

    “I want to go to Montana, there are only 50 nuns living there.”

    The third guy said,

    “I want to go to Idaho, there are only 25 nuns living there.”

    One of the nuns turned around, looked at the men, and in a very sweet calm voice said,

    “Why don’t you go to Hell …There aren’t any Nuns living there.”

    Darwin Awards 2008: Most extreme acts of reported stupidity

    Posted by Paul Acoin 13 November, 2008 (0) Comment

    For those of you not familiar with the Darwin awards, they are awarded annually for the most extreme acts of (occasionally terminal) reported stupidity - they are now in for 2008…

    laughing_mask

    First Place - The 2008 Darwin Award Winner:

    When his 38-calibre revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a hold-up in Long Beach, California, would be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder: He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time, it worked!

    And now, the honorable mentions:

    1. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat-cutting machine and, after a little hopping around, submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company, suspecting negligence, sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine out and lost a finger. The chef’s claim was approved.
    2. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.
    3. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Beltway had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn’t discovered for 3 days.
    4. An American teenager was in the hospital yesterday recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit.
    5. A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, puts a $20 bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer? $15. (If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, was a crime committed?)
    6. A thief burst into a Florida bank one day wearing a ski mask and carrying a gun. Aiming his gun at the guard, the thief yelled, “FREEZE, MOTHER-STICKERS, THIS IS A ****-UP!” For a moment, everyone was silent. Then the snickers started. The guard completely lost it and doubled over laughing. It probably saved his life, because he’d been about to draw his gun. He couldn’t have drawn and fired before the thief got him. The thief ran away and is still at large. In memory of the event, the bank later put a plaque on the wall engraved with the words, Freeze, mother-stickers, this is a ****-up!”
    7. Seems this Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he’d just throw a cinderblock through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinderblock and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinderblock bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape

    A Tip About Polish People for Someone Traveling to Poland

    Posted by R MAK 12 November, 2008 (1) Comment

    A man goes into a store and tells the clerk, “I’d like some Polish sausage.”

    The clerk looks at him and says, “Are you Polish?”

    The man, clearly offended, says, “Well, yes I am. But let me ask you something. If I had asked for Italian sausage would you ask me if I was Italian? Or if I had asked for German bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German? Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish? Or if I had asked for a taco would you ask if I was Mexican? Would ya, huh? Would ya?”

    The clerk says, “Well, no.”

    With deep self-righteous indignation, the guy says, “Well, all right then, why did you ask me if I’m Polish just because I ask for Polish sausage?”

    The clerk replies, “Because this is Home Depot”.

    Breaking News: Chicken crossed the road because All Dogs Were Drunk!

    Posted by R MAK 11 November, 2008 (0) Comment

    It is ages Old Question:

    Why Did Chicken Cross the Road?

    We now have the answer.

    The Chicken succeeded in crossing the road because all the dogs were drunk…

    why chicken cross road

    Let’s see what others have to say about the incident.

    GEORGE W. BUSH: We don’t really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or it is against us. There is no middle ground here.

    AL GORE: I invented the chicken. I invented the road. Therefore, the chicken crossing the road represented the application of these two different functions of government in a new, reinvented way designed to bring greater services to the American people.

    COLIN POWELL: Now at the left of the screen, you clearly see the satellite image the chicken crossing the road.

    HANZ BLIX : We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed access to the other side of the road.

    MOHAMMED ALDOURI (Iraq ambassador): The chicken did not cross the road. This is a complete fabrication. We don’t even have a chicken.

    SADDAM HUSSEIN: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it

    RALPH NADER: The chicken’s habitat on the original side of the road had been polluted by unchecked industrialist greed. The chicken did not reach the unspoiled habitat on the other side of the road because the wheels of a gas-guzzling SUV crushed it.

    PAT BUCHANAN: To steal a job from a decent, hard-working American.

    RUSH LIMBAUGH: I don’t know why the chicken crossed the road, but I’ll bet it was getting a government grant to cross the road, and I’ll bet someone out there is already forming a support group to help chickens with crossing-the-road syndrome. Can you believe this? How much more of this can real Americans take? Chickens crossing the road paid for by their tax dollars, and when I say tax dollars, I’m talking about your money…money the government took from you to build roads for chickens to cross.

    Places to Visit in 2009: Phnom Penh, Cambodia

    Posted by R MAK 9 November, 2008 (1) Comment

    If you love adventure travel and do not care much about travel warnings issued by US and other governments, Cambodia should be your next destination. Cambodia is situated in South East Asia, between Vietnam and Thailand.  Phnom Penh is Cambodia’s capital in every sense of the word. The city is so rich in culture and tourist attractions that it can keep you busy for more than  a week.

    But if you have only a weekend to spare,  we recommend that you should take a early flight to Phnom Penh in on Friday afternoon and  enjoy Saturday and Sunday packaged tours of the city and then take a late night flight on Sunday night back to home. This  way you will enjoy a great weekend tour of the city.

    Location of Cambodia

    If you are  have only one place to visit in Phnom Penh, It has to be the Royal Palace. It is a complex of buildings constructed a century ago for King of Cambodia.  It was also a venue of his court and a symbol of his kingdom. The Royal Palace and attached ‘Silver Pagoda’ compound has several buildings, structures and gardens that are all located within 800  meter square walled grounds. The Compound also overlooks a riverfront park.

    Travel Tales: Books I Picked up, Only to Put Back on Shelf

    Posted by R MAK 6 November, 2008 (1) Comment

    When travelers have time to spend in a city, they resort to a multitude of activities. One of my favorites is visiting the local bookstore for bargains and new titles.

    This journey is really exotic as One will always find a book that he has never seen before. Some times I do blow up my budget and have to cut short my cruise or take a cheaper one, only to buy a book.

    Enough has been said about books and travel, I should come straight to point. Over time, when you think you have seen all kind of bizarre and weird books, something new comes up. I have collected below, covers of some really strange books.

    Stranger is the fact that some of these books have been best sellers of their time. Enjoy them.
