Car Parking in New York

May 21st, 2009

This is the best way to park your car in new york. A real cool old gold.

A man walks into a New York bank, and says he’s going to Europe for two weeks and needs to borrow $ 5000. For collateral, he offers his new Rolls Royce.

The bank is satisfied and parks it in their secured underground garage. Two weeks later to the day, the man returns to the bank, repays the $5000 and interest of $15.41.

The loan officer says inquiringly, “Sir, we were delighted to have your business but, in checking your credit, we learned you are a multimillionaire. Why ever did you need to borrow $5000?”

“Where else in New York can I park my car for two weeks for $15.41?”

Old Woman Over Speeding

May 21st, 2009

An older lady gets pulled over for speeding…

Older Woman: Is there a problem, Officer?

Officer: Ma’am, you were speeding.

Older Woman: Oh, I see.

Officer: Can I see your license  please?

Older Woman: I’d give it to you but I don’t have  one.

Officer: Don’t have one?

Older Woman: Lost it, 4 years  ago for drunk driving.

Officer: I see…Can I see your vehicle  registration papers please.

Older Woman: I can’t do  that.

Officer: Why not?

Older Woman: I stole this  car.

Officer: Stole it?

Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and  hacked up the owner.

Officer: You what?

Older Woman: His body  parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see.

The  Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for  back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer  slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.

Officer 2: Ma’am, could you step out of your vehicle please! The woman steps out of her vehicle.

Older woman: Is there a problem sir?

Officer 2: One of my officers told me that  you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.

Older Woman: Murdered the owner?

Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk  of your car, please.

The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but  an empty trunk.

Officer 2: Is this your car, ma’am?

Older  Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers. The officer is quite  stunned.

Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a  driving license.

The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a  clutch purse and hands it to the officer.

The officer examines the  license. He looks quite puzzled.

Officer 2: Thank you ma’am, one of  my officers told me you didn’t have a license, that you stole this car, and  that you murdered and hacked up the owner.

Older Woman: Bet the liar  told you I was speeding, too.

MORAL:

Don’t Mess With Little Old Ladies

The China Study

May 15th, 2009

book_tp1

Dr. Colin Cambell and Thomas Cambell II have released a book (The China Study), it details their diet plan drawing on project findings in rural China.

The official website already claims more than 100k readers, and the fact is, The China Study is quickly becoming one of the most regarded and discussed diet books of 2009.

I especially love this line (on the official website) and agree to it as well “Change your diet and dramatically reduce the risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease and obesity.

“After a long career in research and policy-making, I have decided to step ‘out of the system.’ I have decided to disclose why Americans are so confused,” said Dr. Campbell. “As a taxpayer who foots the bill for research and health policy in America, you deserve to know that many of the common notions you have been told about food, health and disease are wrong.”

The New York Times has recognized the study as the “Grand PRix of epidemiology” and the “most comprehensive large study ever undertaken of the relationship between diet and the risk of developing disease.”

As a researcher for Virginia Tech and MIT, Dr. Campbell worked to promote consumption of protein rich foods to increase overall health — “high-quality animal protein … It was an obvious sequel to my own life on the farm and I was happy to believe that the American diet was the best in the world.”

4th ODI – Pakistan Vs Australia

May 1st, 2009

Pakistan – Australia 4th ODI Lost – 5th ODI Live Stream will be on 3rd May 1500 Local Time -  1100 GMT

Bad news for Pakistan

Australia won the series. This wasn’t an easy win for them, but at the end, the came out better. Pakistan needs to think a lot. Especially their batting needs a lot of improvement. If I am an opponent, this side (batting) is not going make me worried. There are good players but no-one like Inzi, or Yousaf, they are okay. And non serious at times.

They have to their game up. And before I forget, I don’t see a reason why we are persisting with Kamaran Akmal (other than some strong PERCHEE). He is an average keeper and even a less batsman, remember couple of odd innings don’t make you a great player. It’s the consistency that counts the most.
