"NO, I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH YOU!"
sitting alone. After an hour he gathers enough courage to go and ask her, "Er...
excuse me, but would you mind if I sat here beside you?"
She responds in a loud voice :
"NO, I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH YOU!"
Everyone in the bar turns to stare at them. The young man is surprised,
shocked and embarrassed and goes back to his table.
After a few minutes the woman walks over to him smiles, apologizes,
and says, "You see, I'm a graduate student in psychology and I'm studying how
people respond to embarrassing situations."
The young man responds loudly with,
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THREE THOUSAND RUPEES.
THATS TOO MUCH !"

Web2Zilla
"Web 2.0" I had heard a lot about the term. My inquisitive mind was not getting satisfied by all the debates and discussions over the matter.So I took out some time and started a research for Web 2.0.
The search began with wikipedia
"Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from a collection of websites to a full-fledged computing platform serving web applications to end users. Ultimately Web 2.0 services are expected to replace desktop computing applications for many purposes."
Source:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0
But what are those applications? Do we have a list of such application? These questions were making me mad and then I found the "GEM"
Its called the Go2Web20.net - The complete Web 2.0 directory and indeed it was. Without taking too much time I will like all of you to go through the site

Silence..............
words and you go...
s i l e n t ???
Let me assist you in recalling...
.. the moment when you left your home for the first time and you look
back at your parents who are worried that their son/daughter are
leaving them yet happy that their child took the first step towards
independence.
... the moment when the girl/boy you like most.. smiled back at you!
You don't say anything.. you just smile back..
... the moment when you get better marks than you expected... those
"numb" moments of ecstasy n surprise "is that true?"...
...
the moment when you are parting with your old friend(s) and the
train has just started... and you are standing on the door of the
wagon.. waving "bye-bye" with your heart beating fast...
... the moment after the HR manager has just called you and told
you,"You are through! Congrats!"
... the moment when you sit alone in your room after having told
everyone that you cleared that exam you prepared for 6 months!!
You can go on remembering your "special" moments!
I had always wondered why I never said anything to myself at those
moments.. as if it was "understood"... happiness, joy, pain.. all
feelings just flowed ceaselessly in the 'years' that passed in those
flash moments!
;
They say.. the best way to communicate is through "silence".
Love. Joy. Grief. Surprise. Anger. Hope. Expectations. Support.
Non-cooperation. ..
Can you imagine the importance of a silent moment in a song??
When Bryan Adams stops for a while along with music, before he goes
on in his husky voice...
... Please forgive me. I can't stop loving you!
Ever had those moments when you thought you were tired enough that
you reach for your bed after dinner.. but find yourself wide awake
looking at the roof of your room silently...
But you sure are 'thinking'.. . those moments of self-talk are the
most important in our lives. Those moments when we listen to our own
hearts! Those promises... those decisions... those are the moments
when we make our destinies!
Next time you go silent... listen carefully to what your heart is
saying.. listen to its joy...listen to its pain.. listen to its
fears.. listen to its desires..
Don't make it shut up and go off to sleep...
LISTEN TO THAT VOICE and ACCEPT EVERYTHING IT SAYS!
That voice alone can lead you to the abode of peace that your sleep
lacks... peace that awaits you!
Be in touch with your true self... be silent once a day,
every day !
Silence Speaks More Than Ur Words .

"I will pay $232.53 for your digg :)"
First article
"I will pay $232.53 for your digg :)
First we compiled a list of words that (when used in a story title) get 600+ diggs per story on average. Then we added 3 extra columns to calculate the value of a single digg (Google AdSense estimation of the Cost Per Click, Cost/Day and Cost/Digg which is equal to Cost/Day / Diggs/Story).
Your vote is worth $232.53 if you digg a story with the word "video" in its title :) "
Full article at http://www.xedant.com/researches/digg_price.php
Second article
" "Amazing", "digg", "revealed": Top 100 digg.com attention grabbing words
The complete (and updated) list of words that (when used in a story title) get more than 600 diggs per story on average.
How it was developed? We analyzed 17,817 front page article titles and extracted individual words. Those words that were used in less than 30 article titles or got less than 600 diggs per article were removed.
First number in the right column is "diggs per story": if a word were used in 100 story titles with 100000 diggs total, its "diggs per story" will be 100000/100=1000. We also added a Google AdWords estimation of a keyword price so you can estimate an AdSense revenue of any digg.com article :)
Here is a funny experiment: Nano-mario wants his amazing RIAA photos!: "
