Why did it took three years for Osama bin Laden to record a tape?

He didn’t want to dye.

How come bin Laden’s beard is black now?

They found a copy of Photoshop.

The secret is out. Great work guys!

BTW, does anyone knows how to embed external flash files in WordPress posts?

Or may be not. But this short video clip from Dilbert is hilarious.

The Grammys were announced today.

The ceremony was opened by reformed pop group The Police – but it was a bad night for other Brits like James Blunt.

I agree.  The Police everywhere needs to be reformed.

BTW, did BBC forgot to put hyphen in reformed or is it one of the correct usages of the word?

BBC News has this interesting story of a ladies room conversation as it was accidentally broadcast live during a speech by George Bush at New Orleans. One woman to another about her husband:

“Just a really passionate, compassionate, great, great human being. And they exist. They do exist. They’re hard to find… But they are out there.”

Yes, they are ‘out there’. I know them. I am one of them. I am posting it just in case you haven’t found one yet.

The Gujarat forest department has sent a notice to Aamir Khan for allegedly violating the Wildlife Act during the making of his film Lagaan in 2000, when he had filmed a chinkara without permisison in the Kutch district.

When asked what took them so long, the officials said that they were trying to convince the Chinkara to testify against Aamir in court. Chinkara, a big Aamir fan, allegedly agreed only after repeated screenings of Fanaa in captivity. After getting Chinkara to sign a sworn statement, the officials have slapped notice on the hapless fellow on charges of indecent exposure and abetting an enemy in a profitable transaction.

Neha wonders why she sees such ads in her Gmail Inbox. I think I have found the answer in one of the ads at a geeky website.

What percentage of geeks would not want to scroll the (unscrollable) bar? Actually, the ad is pretty effective:

The beautiful (and apparently nude) woman has been strategically placed.

The scroll bars and missing ‘ing’ of missing creates the impression that there is more to be seen.

The word ‘see’ has been naughtingly highlighted. Half of the geeks are voyeurish. Q.E.D.

There is ‘I am a : woman’ seeking ‘man’ instead of ‘I am a : man’ seeking ‘woman’. Women are smarter than men in matters of heart, more Q.E.D.

If one gets caught by the boss while looking at such women, there is that brialliant excuse of ‘Advantages of PHP Over Java’. Yes, the original page. If boss is any good (that means a good geeky and that would mean single and lonely), he would be looking for options himself, so not much to worry.

Scriptsfinder.com has enough knowledge about online geek behaviour and hence such ads.

When you go to the actual mate1.com site, their default search is ‘I am a man seeking a woman, age 18-35′. They know who would be finally coming to their site !

Thanks to all those readers who suggest that Zidane was in fact saving Materazzi’s life.
