Strange Facts

Anyone saying he does not have time on hand is lying. I have not seen an anklet watch, have you? Google CEO has lost his voice ... this is his quiet way of saying he does not like SIRI, the new voice assistant that Apple introduced in its iphone; As soon as the internet was born there were online sites selling shoes; There are more sites selling shoes online than there are toes on the human feet; There are no sites selling shoes in Sub Saharan Africa where shoes are most needed; BTW what exactly is Sub Saharan Africa? Is it a collection of suburbs? Is there a subway that goes there from Jakarta? Or is it some made up term from an overpaid IMF official or Harvard graduate? Why is there no Sub Nullarboran Australia (For those with intimate knowledge of our continents this would be a good tease)? GM has now recalled all the cars its made for a variety of reasons. Hence global warming suddenly dropped. Make that all car companies have recalled everything they have made - that would cause riots. Not because there are no cars but because it would lead to massive traffic jams around the dealerships. Speaking of which who called these idiotic enterprises SHIPS? There is nothing remotely like a ship where your car is sold is there? I mean the stewards do not come out and sell cars? Lastly there is no sense in having a Rewind button on a DVD player. What are you re-winding? Your brain?

  1. It could be the only place in Africa that you can buy a 'sub'- maybe after you have exited the Sahara- how's that for directions?

Of chocolates

I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.

Columbia SC

 The Palmetto state.  One of the confederate kinds. History dating couple centuries back.  We visited the capital yet again this time to take in the SC State Museum. Occupying the former digs (literally remodeled) of an erstwhile cotton mill this structure is an amazing piece of reimagination.  Four floors of excitement for kids and young at heart alike. Located on the shores of the Congaree River formed when the Broad meets up with the Saluda River, this edifice is approx. 60 years old.  The front of the building has a more modern planetarium that was added about a decade ago.  The museum itself has different areas of interest segregated on each of its four floors. The first floor has gift shop and a diorama of some of the local geography including the swamps and the state beaches with audio guides to help understand what fauna thrives locally. The second floor is all about natural history and showcases animal kingdom that may have survived on this latitud...

Gab about Gaps

There are a number of news stories these days where conversation inevitably turns to discussing some sort of GAP - Gap between rich and poor is growing Gap is losing market share to other clothiers The Dow is Gapping Down (so is the NASDAQ) and the dollar is Gapping Up The guy who advised British public over the PA on dangers of tube travel with the phrase 'MIND THE GAP' has died There is a frightening Gap between our Debts and Savings Gap between Executive pay and Average worker salary is at an all time high All I am doing is listening to all this unfold with my mouth aGAPe. What me worry?
