What Type of Weather Are You?

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away

Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gonna stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and this house just ain't no home
anytime she goes away

And I know, I know...

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
and this house just ain't no home
anytime she goes away

Bill Withers - Ain't no sunshine

The Water Heater does not work

It is a cold freezing morning, you wake up, turn on the hot water faucet, put your hands under the streaming water, and are shocked by the freezing water pouring down. Where is the hot water? You find out that the water heater has died. You think, hmm what would Mcgyver do?



Pure Genius, right?

Warning, don't try this at home, you will get literally shocked because mixing water and electrical appliances can give shocking results.

Oil to reach $262 per barrel

Oil will reach $262 per barrel as predicted by George Soros.

Soros, who is famous for trading against the Bank of England and making $1 billion, and who also co-founded the Quantum fund which netted over %4000 in 10 years, predicts that oil could reach $262 as a result of some likely or unlikely scenarios.

The full article is here.

As Kuwaitis, unlike what is commonly believed, we do not each own an oil well in our 7osh (garden / backyard). We can benefit, however, because more money is coming in Kuwait. More construction, growing new businesses, more companies are showing greater profit, more job oppurtunities, the stock market flies, and if you invest, you get a little piece.

So good times for all. Enjoy while it lasts.

Romeo and Juliet and Mobile SMS

Remember the balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet, where Juliet laments about Romeo's family when she says:

O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

Well, what if they had a mobile, and where sending SMSs, then what you would get would be:

Million Dirham Website

I posted over a week ago about the Million Dollar Bush, now I just discovered a
Million Dirham website.

That is UAE Dirham, so it works out to 79,526 KD. They already sold a few pixels.

I am going to get greedy and make a 10 million KD site. Each pixel would be sold at 10 KD. Advanced orders welcome.

Harmless Blog Virus

Don't start your virus checkers yet, this is harmless but cute. The infection involved is more like a bad fad. To get infected you need to cut and paste HTML code found by clicking on the cute little green worm.

My Quirks

I was tagged by Sever so here are my quirks:

1) I can drink coffee 24/7 and it will not affect me, but 1 stakana of chai and I cannot sleep all night.

2) I cannot go to a movie theater, i get restless and have to leave in the middle, that is why I wait for the DVD and watch it with pauses every 10 minutes.

3) I can watch 3 movies at once by flipping channels.

4) TIme is always too long when I am at work, and always too short when I am doing something fun.

5) When something interests me, I really grok it. It becomes a passion and after a few weeks I can talk endlessly about it.

6) I don't like to be served or helped, I always feel I can do it better myself or quicker or just don't like to disturb people even if it was their job.

Ok, enough quirks about me, this list can go on forever.

Text Messages from your mobile - speed record

Whenever there is an event that captivates everyone around you, seconds later you hear the familiar beeping of your mobile and there is a juicy line of gossip, a running rumor, a jolly joke, or extreme tastlessness text message waiting to be read on your mobile. You read, smile, belly laugh, frown or feel like you ate something bad then almost as a reflex, you pass it on to the next victims.

Have you ever wondered who the authors are that write those pico proses and send them out to the populace?

Well, I will not be revealing who these authors are but I am sure they have overgrown thumbs and can write at the speed of thought.

One such person is Kimberly Yeo, a business student in Singapore has managed to break the Guiness world record by typing "The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human" in 43.24 seconds. The article is here.
