Kenya town kills 500 pigs for mating with dogs
NAIROBI: A Kenyan mayor ordered more than 500 pigs to be shot dead because they were mating with stray dogs, the East African Standard reported on Friday.

A squad of town council guards moved from estate to estate shooting pigs roaming free in Nyahururu town, 150 km north of the capital Nairobi.

Town mayor Muritu Karumba said he ordered Thursday's cull to avoid an outbreak of disease caused by the pigs and dogs mating, which he said broke the laws of nature and "caused unnecessary commotion".

But the unfortunate pigs' owners immediately cried foul, claiming collusion between Nyahururu's authorities and the town's bacon traders to cut competition in pork supplies.

From here.

Can pigs and dogs actually do this?!

You've spun your last web, Spider-Man.

Last week I watched Spider-Man.... TWO! Gawd... what came over me. Watching Spider-Man 2, after having endured the first one two freaking times!

Well, I'm a sucker for movies in the hall, and this one too was in the hall. And I'm dead sorry for that! 7400 Wons (~Rs 296) down the drain.

I'm not going to give you any warning about spoilers, cuz the movie aint got no story at all. Any kid would've guessed the story even before those buggers thought of making a sequel! And this movie is not about a story - it's about getting the kids to the theater and clapping in glee every time Spider-Man saves the world... and it's idiots like me who getted pulled along!

What's it about? The usual... another experiment which would change the face of humanity gets out of hand, another mad scientist ends up becoming the new monster villain. Doctavious (I think) - that's what they called this one. He's got four HUGE arms with super-duper-extra-hollywood-style aritfical intelligence, attached right to his spine. And these arms are mean. They can think, and they can scheme monstrous plans to destroy the world.... Muahahahaha - you didnt see that coming, now did you?

During a demonstration of a controlled nuclear fusion reaction one smart ass reporter asks - "Sir, if these arms have such advanced AI capabilities what's stopping them from controlling you?" Smart one lady. I'm sure you were a guest artist on the sets! That's where the "Inhibitor Chip" comes in. A blue LED attached to the arms which stops them from controlling Doctavious.

If you cant guess what happens next... well, go audition for a Hollywood or something!

Scriptwriter #1: Hey dude! It's just like the last movie. A new Sci-fi monster which Spidey's gotta cream.
Scriptwriter #2: Yeah, you're right man! The boss wont pay us nothin' for this shit!
Scriptwriter #1: What should we do now?
Scriptwriter #2: Hmmm... let me think.... how about throwing a love-angle to this story. Spidey want Mary Jane but cant get her cuz he's got to save the world. So he STOPS saving the world to get the love of his life!
Scriptwriter #1: Yeah dude! That's fucking awesome. And then he starts losing his powers cuz he ain't got no love in his life. Y'know love is the greatest power and shit!
Scriptwriter #2: Yeah man! And then we can throw in a big lecture by his Aunt which we can recycle at the very end of the movie along with all the other dialogues just before the climax. That's like so cool!
Scriptwriter #1: Yeah! And then Doctavious kidnaps Mary Jane just when she's about to kiss Parker to find out whether he's Spidey. You know - like kiss and tell. And that way we can put in links to Spidey Part One as well.
Scriptwriter #2: And you know man! Kirsten's got great tits. We'll make sure she doesnt wear a bra in that scene so we can see her nipples right till the end of the movie man!
Scriptwriter #1: Yeah! And then Spidey will get all fired up and all, and gets his Super Spider(tm) power back and beats the shit outta Doctavious.
Scriptwriter #2: And yeah, just to make sure that people know they're watching a sequel we'll put in the revenge shit too. Like Osbourne wants to avenge his father's death and makes a deal with Doctavious. Give me Spidey for one big ass ball of Titanium to destroy the world! How cool is that?
Scriptwriter #1: Man! We ROCK! Wanna pull another joint?

You still want to watch it?!

One more post coming up!!

C E N S O R S H I P

The South Korean government has restricted access to many blog sites (blogspot.com, blogs.com, blogcity.com, etc) in an effort to restrict the South Koreans from viewing the Kim Seon Il beheading video. So I'm not able to access by own blog from here. Though I can create and edit posts (blogger.com is not banned), I can not access my blog.

Until this changes I might not be able to follow up comments.... so please bear with me.

Filled with mixed emotions this morning.

Adventures of President Kalam.

Prez and The Board Result

Which reminds me of my Class 12 board results. I was shit scared that I'd get 60% or something! I was in Lucknow at my mama's place and was sound asleep. I was woken up early in the morning by a call from my mother. Went rushing back to Kanpur straight to my school notice board.... and there it was 90.3% aggregate! What the fuck?

But what's the use of Board results nowadays? Every college worth its salt has an entrance exam. Just get a decent score in boards, say above 80%, and it is not difficult, mind you. The exam papers are so damn predictable. You dont need to learn, you need to strategize. Which portion to study, which portion to skip. What to write, how much to write, which heading to underline, etc, etc. It's all about your strategy!

What is not predictable though, is the grading of answer sheets. In the Maths exam for my 10th Class Boards, I had not attempted questions worth 25 marks. And my final score was 78! Beat that! In 12th class my Computer Science paper was 100% correct and I get 96. Ha!

I think Board exams are just a joke. But parents make such an issue of it... kids commit suicide over their board results! I cant get it. If you're from the Science stream all you need is a meagre 55% marks to be eligible for IIT-JEE or any other pre-medical exam. I'm not too sure about Commerece or Arts, though.

Prez and the Rapist

Now this one, really pissed me off. Leaving a rapist off the hook (or noose!). I mean, first of all the conviction rate for rapists is so damn low! And when they do get convicted you show mercy! Rapists, IMHO, should be given the worst punishment possible. Flog them in public, castrate them, pull out their nails, hot rods in their eyes... anything is less.

Down with RAPE!

From The Times of India

Scotching speculation over his retirement from active politics, former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Thursday said his surprise remarks on Wednesday night indicating such a course were made in "jest".

Addressing the concluding session of the three-day BJP National Executive here, he said his remarks in Marathi had raised a furore and that they were "made in jest".

Vajpayee also asserted that there was "no power struggle" within the party. Kursi ki ladai nahin hai , he said.

HA!! HA!! That's really really funny.

We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.


One of my favoutire songs. I never seem to get tired of it. I'll never really know what it means. But these lines seem to take me to some place within me... there's just something that this song does to me.
