Quid agis, medice?

Got this link from Boing Boing .

There’s 18258 anagrams of the name ‘Quantum of Solace’ . Some of them are great.

My favourite ones are : Macaques Fool Nut , Factual Mosque No , Canal Mosque Tofu , Ace Quantum Fools , Fecal Qua Moutons , Flamenco Quota Us , Falcon Quota Muse , Fact Unequal Moos , Coolant Qua Fumes , Cola Masque Futon , Coma Equals Futon , Cosmonaut Qua Elf , A Calf Unquotes Om .

…has turned out to be the toughest thing I’ve had to do in years. Things would be so much easier if I actually had a purpose to give a statement about.

Reminds me of that scene in Shrek : Donkey running in afield full of blue flowers with red thorns saying ” Blue Flowers ,Red Thorns , Blue Flowers ,Red Thorns, Blue Flowers ,Red Thorns …Damn! This would have been so much easier if I wasn’t colour blind!”

Today’s Pune mirror carries two outdated stories sourced i.e. stolen from British tabloids. And to make things worse , I think they’ve been printed in the Mirror before.

One was that of Hitler’s statue’s head in Madame Tussaud’s being hacked off which happened  (if i recall correctly) sometime around July .

The other was the present Pamela Anderson gave Hugh Hefner on his 82nd birthday (which was on the 9th of April !!) complete with Kendra Wilkinson’s thoughts on the same .

1. Matthew Hayden blaming his team’s 2-0 defeat on petty issues like people taking too long to move out of the way of sightscreens .

2. People going overboard and singing praises of India’s economic might to justify the claim that India is not a third world country. Pune Mirror today just took the cake. In an article titled ” Shut up, you third world loser” , they said that India wasn’t a third world country because it had 34 companies in the Forbes Global 2000 ranking for 2008 , the biggest rail network in the world, Infosys hires 1000 locals in Australia, Taj Hotels has a huge office in Sydney , Tata Steel has a presence in Brisbane , Oswal Group is constructing  an ammonia plant in Western  Australia , Sterlite Industries has acquired two copper mines in Tasmania (and this apparently makes a big difference because it’s Ricky Ponting’s home state) and here’s the killer blow (quoting straight from the article) : ” Remember , Sachin Tendulkar’s bat sticker contract can buy out your house ” !

By that logic every country Indian companies have a presence in almost every country in the world. Does that mean every country is inferior to us? And what about all the foreign investment in Inda (BMW , Volkswagen , Skoda , Walmart  just to name a few) ?

While I have been wasting my time in college with pointless submissions and oral exams , bad things have been happening in the world.  I just found out that legendary drummer Mitch Mitchell passed away two days ago.

Here’s a nice picture tribute .

BoingBoing recently put up this post where they link to WFMU’s  McCain tongue photo photoshop contest. Here are the results.
