Lisa Nowak and Astro Diapers

Read this article a long time back and had meant to blog on it.Found time only now.

So this American astronaut drove nearly 900 miles to pepper spray the girlfriend of her former love interest.Weren't astronauts supposed to be bright?At least Jeanie in 'I Dream of Jeanie' used to think so.I am beginning to think otherwise.Did she really have to drive? Couldn't she have just flown down?Or why the need for a physical presence when she could have just called up, if all she wanted to do was to just give her a little scare.It worries me that these specimen are the brightest that human kind could offer after so many years of evolution

Another interesting point is that she she wore special NASA diapers for the journey.I was a bit surprised to know that NASA actually made such things.I wonder what these NASA diapers are like? Can these astros fly back and forth to the moon without a nappy change?More importantly, was Neil Armstrong wearing a diaper when he landed on the moon?It kind of makes the whole landing on the moon stuff so off putting.Kind of like coming to know that your stern looking manager wears floral underwear.(The manager being male of course)

I hear that the Chinese are planning to land one of their own on the moon.I bet there is a Chinese astronaut praying somewhere that unlike most goods Chinese this diaper does actually undergo a quality control test.

Weird/Funny articles

Read three weird/funny articles in the papers recently.

1)A female shark managed to reproduce without mating.Seems it is pretty normal and there is even have a name for it Parthenogenesis.

2)A german man fell off the second storey balcony while trying to outspit his 12 year old son in a spitting contest

3)There is a hen turning into a cock in some part of Eastern India

While I was away...

Jeez,I am so sorry to have left for a vacation unannounced. A detailed description will follow but before that some pressing matters need to be addressed
1) India is out of the world cup.
I don't know why there is such a hue and cry about such a non issue. It was never about winning the cup, the world cup is always about scoring brownie points over Pakistan and didn't we do it in style. Unlike Pakistan we did not lose to a non test playing country but to Bangladesh which is ranked a very respectable 10th among the test playing nations. By trouncing Bermuda we let the whole world know that Bermuda is a country and not a boring chapter in Geometry and most importantly we got our coach back in one piece. So while India comes out of the world cup with a squeaky clean image, Pakistan looks like it is the epicenter of gonorrhea and syphilis. Well done boys. Bravo!!


2) Iran nearly triggers off World War 3
15 British sailors now find themselves in Iranian jails after fishing in trouble waters. Last heard, grown up men were fighting about who gets to keep the very obese lone female sailor. Will she be the face that launched a thousand ships?

3) LTTE has its own air force.
Wouldn’t have concerned me but had to catch a connecting flight at Colombo airport. What are the odds that LTTE would develop their own air force, the first time in their history and bombard a Sri Lankan air base adjacent to the international airport during my vacation period!!
