Hercules the Liger
Hercules the Liger - {A cross between a lion and a tiger}
It's a really big animal. At just three years old, Hercules already weighs half a ton. He looks like something from a prehistoric age or a fantastic creation from Hollywood. Part lion, part tiger, he is not just a big cat but a huge one, standing 10ft tall on his back legs. Called a liger, in reference to his crossbreed parentage, he is the largest of all the cat species. On a typical day, he will devour 20lb of meat, usually beef or chicken, and is capable of eating 100lb at a single setting.

The judge pounded the gravel on his table and shouted, "Order, order."
The drunkard immediately responded, "Thank you, your honor, I'll have a scotch and soda."

1. THE FALLEN LETTER "D".
2. TIRE PUNCTURED.
WHAT DOES HE DO?...............

HE RUNS 5 OR 6 ROUNDS AROUND THE CAR. SO HE BECOMES "TIRED". HE TAKES THE "D" FROM 'TIRED' AND PUTS THE "TIRE" IN THE CAR AND "D" ON THE CAR NUMBER PLATE.
Teehee.... now how many of them are waiting to clobber me?

B-2 Spirit, the Ultimate Warrior
The B-2 Spirit, made by Northrop Grumman, is an American multi-role stealth bomber able to drop conventional and nuclear weapons. A dramatic leap forward in technology, the bomber was a milestone in the U.S. bomber modernization program. The B-2 is the most expensive plane ever built. Estimates for the costs per plane range from $1.157 billionto $2.2 billion.
Its stealth technology is intended to help it penetrate defenses previously impenetrable by combat aircraft. The original procurement of 135 aircraft was later reduced to 75 in the late 1980s. Finally, President George H. W. Bush reduced the final buy quantity to the 21 already bought in his now famous "New World Order" State of the Union speech, January 1991.

Always remember those who serve
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.
"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.
"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired.
By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient.
"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied
The little boy again counted his coins.
"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies..
You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.

Heights of Talent !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Artist Julian Beever
Hi fellas. Check this out. I have already posted an article related to his works. Here are a few more.... simply superb. His art is extremely unique and very amazing. This guy makes his paintings on the footpaths and pavements but when you look at them from a certain angle, they appear to be 3D !!! And in some cases they are just lifelike!
Looks like someone put a 3D globe in the middle of the road! But this is actually painted on the road in such a stretched manner that when viewed from this angle, It look 3D!
Look at the same painting from a different angle -
Check out the water closely!!!
Would you Believe that he is just sitting on the pavement !!!

Look at this monstrous lobster. The baby is real by the way.
Not just the boat or just the water, but everything upto the very depression on the road is painted stuff !!!

Breaking Techniques for Bikers...
1. Which brake is the most effective? The front brake is the most effective, giving between 60 & 80% of the bike's stopping power in hard stops, depending upon surface conditions. This is because most of the weight of the bike and rider transfers forward onto the front wheel when the brakes are applied. A common example of weight transfer is when you trip on a gutter - your feet stop but momentum keeps the top of you going and you fall flat on your face. The weight transfer that takes place under braking on a motorcycle pushes the front wheel onto the ground and makes it grip very well.
2. Is the front wheel likely to skid if you apply the front brake hard?
No. The front wheel is likely to skid uncontrollably and bring you down only if you jam the front brake on hard. If you apply the front brake in a staged (progressive) process, the front wheel may skid but that skid is normally quite controllable.
3. Is the rear wheel likely to skid if you apply the brakes hard?
With most of the weight being on the front wheel, the rear wheel tends to be light under braking and will therefore lock up and skid very easily.
4. How do you control a rear wheel skid?
Control of a rear wheel skid is easy. Just keep your eyes up to the horizon and look where you WANT to go (not necessarily where you are actually going) and the bike will skid in a controllable manner with a minimum of fishtailing. Basic and advanced braking techniques are best learnt under controlled conditions rather than when a truck pulls out on you! Your local motorcycle school will run a fun braking exercise session for you and some mates if you care to call the school and arrange it.
5. Is a bald tyre a liability when braking?
A treadless tyre will quite adequately handle braking stresses on a perfect road surface. The trouble is that perfect road surfaces are more than rare - they're virtually extinct. Tyre tread acts like a broom, sweeping debris, dirt, gravel and water etc off the road surface in order that the tyre can grip the road.
The tread on a sensibly ridden motorcycle can comfortably handle most foreign matter on a road surface - with the possible exception of oil (especially diesel oil), thick mud, and smooth wet paint. But link a bald tyre with foreign matter on the road surface and throw in braking stresses for good measure, and the crash will resound throughout the neighbourhood.
6. How should I brake on slippery and loose surfaces.
Carefully but not timidly. The secret to good braking on poor surfaces is observation. If you know what's under your wheels you can tailor your braking to the surface.
So, keep an eye on the road surface. If you cross a slippery surface under strong braking the front wheel may lock. This is why riders who brake late and hard for orange or red lights often spill off - into the middle of the intersection. The fall occurs because the rider fails to ease the front brake as the front wheel crosses the white line that crosses the lanes at the edge of the intersection. Then the front wheel breaks loose under braking on the slippery surface, the rider panics and freezes, and he and his bike head groundwards...
The basic requirements for braking on a loose surface such as gravel are the same as those applying to braking on a sealed surface. The difference is that you must observe the requirements more strictly on gravel.
You must brake in plenty of time, preferably brake while upright and in a straight line (any braking while leaned over in gravel is extremely hazardous), use both brakes very progressively, carefully interpret the noise from the front and rear tyre while braking to detect and counteract any wheel lock-up, know your road surface, and take particular care when braking on gradients, inclines, and heavy cambers.

Snapshots IV
Team tactics and strategies going on in the background...
This one handshake that won't be erased so easily from the annals of cricket history.... Locked and loaded before the finals, the Clash of the Titans. The captains, Vinoth & Hari, share a long handshake before the Finals. It can be recorded as the most number of handshakes for a single take (pose for the shutterbugs), the reason being me, myself, and Antz.... I was not able to snap that perfect shot.
