"Anyway, this concerns the year 1944 and some leaders involved in the Second World War. Take Churchill for instance. He was born in 1874, his age in 1944 was 70, he took office in 1940 and was there for four years. If you add up the numbers they come to 3888. Now take Hitler. Born: 1889; age in '44: 55; took office 1933, years there: 11. Total 3888. You can do the same with Roosevelt, Stalin and Mussolini too."

See if you can figure it out ...

What was an advertisement campaign by one of the leading Ad firms (Turner Broadcasting), turned out scaring the hell

outta Bostonians. Well, I was at work when I heard the news, glad that I was inside one of those buildings and not on the road; for all the major bridges in the city were closed as traffic piled up. Although this happened on the 31st of last month, I could hear people talk about it on talk shows, on the train, Radio, Blog etc... etc... even yesterday.

The campaign was allegedly for the popular cartoon Aqua Teen Hunger Force, for its 5th season scheduled for a release on Feb 23rd. Bostonians had the right to get scared for the gadget consisted of magnetic blinking lights and had wires protruding out from them. Turner ended up apologizing and has agreed to pay ~ $1 million for causing a security alert.

Two men were arrested by cops and were later released after placing a cash bond of 2500 bucks. Here's what they had to say at the press conference ...


Lol - "Thats not a hair question"

I'm sure we all have our own perceptions on how the modern world is changing/adapting itself to the changes. Here's an example (got forwarded via email) -


OLD VERSION...

shelter so he dies out in the cold.

MODERN VERSION...



The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house.

Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other grasshoppers demanding that grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter.

Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticize the Indian Government for not upholding the fundamental rights of the grasshopper.

The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance).

Opposition MP's stage a walkout. Left parties call for "Bharat Bandh" in West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry. CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among ants and grasshoppers.

Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.

Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act [POTAGA]", with effect from the beginning of the winter.

Arjun Singh makes Special Reservation for Grass Hopper in educational Insititutions & in Govt Services.

The ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV.

Arundhati Roy calls it "a triumph of justice". Lalu calls it 'Socialistic Justice'. CPM calls it the 'revolutionary resurgence of the downtrodden' . Koffi Annan invites the grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly.

MANY YEARS LATER...

The ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi billion dollar company in silicon valley.100s of grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere in India.
