Story: Don't copy if you can't paste
A well-known motivational speaker gathering the entire crowd's attention,
said, "The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who
wasn't my wife !"
The crowd was shocked!!!!!!!!
He followed up by saying, "That woman was my mother!"
The crowd burst into laughter and he gave his speech, which was well
received.
About a week later, one of the top managers who had the training decided to
use that joke at his house. He tried to rehearse the joke in his head. It
was a bit foggy to him.
He said loudly, "The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a
woman who was not my wife!"
Naturally, his wife was shell shocked, murmuring.
After standing there for almost 10 seconds trying to recall the second half
of the joke, the manager finally blurted out "... and I can't remember who
she was !"
As expected, he got thrashing of his life time....
Moral of the story: Don't copy if you can't paste

Increadible & unique buidlings - Architectural Miracles
Obviously, construction technologies are advancing extremely quickly. Couple that with multi-billionaires / deep-pocketed companies trying to outdo each other in the quest for the next standout design and you have a near-future filled with mile-high skyscrapers and buildings that no longer look like buildings.
Below are 9 strange and unique structures which have either been approved or are in the final stages of approval. Some have already been partially constructed.
Welcome to the future landscape.
1. Aqua, USA
From a distance this skyscraper, to be completed in 2009 in Chicago, will seem quite traditional. It'll only be when you get close and look up that you can appreciate the ripple/jelly effect created by variously sized balconies from top to bottom.
2. Chicago spire, USA
The phenomenal Chicago spire, when completed in 2010, will be the world's tallest residential building and the tallest building of any kind in the western world. Seemingly modeled on the image of a giant drill poking through the ground, the 609m structure will dominate the Chicago skyline.
3. Cctv headquarters, China
At a modest 234m the cctv building isn't going to stand out from a distance. However the design and shape is a crowd stopper to say the least and will be another incredible addition to Beijing's skyline in time for the 2008 Olympics. The shape, described as a 'z criss-cross' results in a very high, seemingly unsupported corner at the front. let's hope there's a glass floor up there.
4. Regatta hotel, Jakarta
Taking on a nautical theme, the developers say the 10 smaller towers represent sailing boats whilst the larger building is 'the lighthouse'. it's the lighthouse that steals the show for me, possibly the most incredible looking structure I've seen for a long time. If it ends up looking anything close to these pictures I'll be impressed.
5. Residence antilia, India (architects' Website )
Construction has begun on residence antilia despite opposition from those who see it as an 'excessive' design in a city where more than 65% of the population live in slums. Politics aside and after you recover from the initial shock of seeing a skyscraper that resembles an Ikea cd rack, the building actually looks like it may succeed as a stunning, unique, green piece of architecture.
6. Russia tower, Russia
Topped with an observation deck over the city of Moscow, Russia tower will become the tallest building in Europe when completed in 2012 and twice the height of the Eiffel tower. Construction has already started on this angular beast which was designed by foster & partners, also responsible for the gherkin and spaceport America, currently in development.
7. Penang global city centre, Malaysia
Following months of speculation and sturdy opposition, this humungous project is in the final stages of approval and apparently construction will start very soon. Even so, due to the size of the plan it will take at least 15 years to complete. Resembling a sci-if city, the area will be crowned by 2 x 200m towers and completely transform the small island of penang.
8. Gazprom headquarters, Russia (architects' Website )
This gigantic, 300m tall glass flame of a building will house the gazprom headquarters in St. Petersburg, dwarfing all structures in its vicinity. It will apparently change colour up to 10 times per day depending on the position of the sun. The building has already been nicknamed 'corn on the cob' by unhappy locals.
9. Burj Dubai, Dubai
This is the big one. When completed next year it will be the tallest man-made structure in the world and the tallest building by a long shot with a predicted height of 818m. Note: currently the tallest building on earth, excluding an antenna, is Taipei 101 in Taiwan which stands at 509m. The photo below is the building's current state: the skyscrapers below the burj Dubai used to look tall.
Mother of the year
In a zoo in
The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve.
After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother. The veter inarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only orphans" that could be found quickly, were a litter of weaner pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger
Would they become cubs or pork chops?????????????
Take a look........ You won't believe your eyes!!!!

Ink-Jet Printer Cartridge scam on lawsuit - HP & Staples
Atlast someone has spoken against the crooks of the century. A man from Boston had filed a suite against the manufacturers & suppliers of ink-jet cartridges (HP & Staples), according to the suite HP paid Stapes Store (supplier of office stationery) $100 million to abandon/hurt sale of third-party ink cartridges which would boost HP sales. Third-party ink cartridges cost fraction of the what standard HP cartridges cost and works as efficient as the standard.
Lawsuit also states that the cartridges drains out too quickly, a friend who works in a cartridges manufacturing facility quotes that many cartridges are half-filled
HP has the largest market share of ink-jet printers and its considerable revenue comes from cartridges. according to an estimate around per gallon cost of ink cost $8000. Not sure what liquid
plutonium would cost but gas is much cheaper source.
