Talking in complete sentences

A good friend had this to say abt some test which based on her browsing history threw up these results:

"Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 41%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 59% "

And then went on to say - and i quote -
"Ok, now I gotta go pee standing up of course,scratch my balls, furiously channel surf so that  I spend no more than 1.3 seconds per channel,watch repeat live telecast of Netherlands Vs Bangaldesh 20/20 and generally be a nuisance..."

and i complete the sentence here...

"(continued...) while someone from the fairer sex is going blah..blah, talking abt shopping, and how sex and the city is a good movie, and has to spend 3 hours on hair, showering, getting ready, and if she is a 'lady'-wants to go powder her nose, etc..etc and generally be a nuisance"


Sentences have to be complete.....  :)

My results (proudly!) :

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 32%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 68%

Site	Male-Female Ratio
google.com	0.98
imdb.com	1.06
bbc.co.uk	1.44
google.co.uk	1.35
play.com	1.04

Ah....it works!

Yes, since the last post did miraculously appear on the website, the integrated piece does seem to work.

But there is some uncertainty still because the software still does throw up errors now and then.

Seems probabilistic now! Huh !!

Another Test

Didnt you read the title?

This is another test post. Probably the billionth test post that i might have made. Well, for the curious this it to try a new blogging feature integrated into your firefox. It seemed to work but I am not so sure now. My office firewall seems to be blocking the software from logging into my account at blogger.com. But it did work the first time around, which is why i am still persisting with this.

Given my inaction and blog-activity, all this is superfluous. As I keep saying I have more test posts than anything else!

Duh me!

The bbc reports...

Picked this one story up on the net....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/norfolk/7496923.stm

Now, England and the UK in general can be a bit of a wierd place when it comes to news. Here's one for instance.

What are the chances of finding a bat in your bra? I mean, seriously what are the odds? Well, it does happen.

Truth stranger than fiction!

experiments with my computer....

I have been playing with my computer for a while trying to make it feel and look better, having got thoroughly bored with how it looks now. After trying numerous useless and CPU or memory intensive programs, finally came across a google video giving a good demonstration of how you can almost, i repeat, almost make it look and feel like a Mac. Now, almost is a nice word - its quite there, but not completely. I can live with that.... :)

Anyways...i finally found some success yesterday with this whole thing, thanks largely to that video. I tweaked some of the stuff myself, but now i  just love the way my comp feels. Luckily, most of the tweaking has not cost me a lot in CPU or memory resources. Atleast so far. Maybe i will put in a couple of screenshots.

As for the video - try searching for 'windows XP look like Mac' or 'windows looks like Mac leopard' etc. on you tube or google videos. There are quite a few videos out there for this now.

Funny, i thought i was stuck with my boring windows xp look. Imagine how long we have come with this stuff....not many years back, we thought windows was such an amazing program. I know Mac lovers will not agree with me, but unfortunately, i did not see a Mac till much later.

And in the fight of the browsers, safari is now available for windows. And the latest version of Firefox, that's firefox 3 is also available for download. Between the two,  i still prefer firefox 3. Ok, i am no expert, but i just got the feeling that safari was a bit more CPU/memory intensive.

But all that said, i still cant get my 'recycle bin' to disappear from my desktop and there is another stupid icon called 'My Bluetooth Places'. The second with my laptop. I will try some more googling around to get those two to also disappear as well.

A double rainbow

There is a double rainbow outside right now! I have never witnessed two parallel rainbows - it is quite a sight! Infact, i have rarely seen a rainbow with so much clarity as this one. There are two - one of them is so clear and so close that I could almost reach for it! It had the whole office stop work and stand up, crowd around the glasses and admire it.

That makes my day !!!!

For those who are wondering whats all the fuss is about and about why a rainbow should prompt a post - in my point of view, to put it in perspective - After all, how often in a lifetime does one witness a double rainbow???

:)

So thin and yet so thin

So far away and yet even at such distances the strings that connect you to
your home lands are stretched thin, but yet they pull with such strength
that it pains.

But then to be fair it is what makes who we are.

few more thoughts...

I am not much of a driver, but i do like the occasional drive in the car. I came across something very interesting here. You know two vehicles approach from opposite directions on a narrow road, one of them needs to give way to the other. Now, from where i come, the trick is to flick your light first to 'claim' the right to go through first. So, if you flick, the other driver should (thats a big SHOULD! doesnt work always) oblige by giving way.

Well, the interesting bit is here - it works the other way round. You flick your lights to 'grant' the right to the other to go first. So, you see you cant take the right away from the other, though you can give it to the other driver. You flick first, the other guy goes first.

very interesting....indeed very interesting !  Makes a tonne of difference on the road i think !

on a last note - its friday!

Just a thought....

Why would anyone wear a tonne of make-up to come to the office. I admit she is a good looking girl by herself and really doesn't need that level of make-up. It does more harm than good. But even so, why do you wear that amount of make-up to come to the office. I can understand if you going to a club or a big party but this doesn't make any sense to me...

Men more likely to die of broken heart

Came across this interesting article!! I always suspected this!

Apparently men are more likely to die of a 'broken heart' than women. So,
all of you women out there, take care of those hearts....dont endanger
their lives!

Men more likely to die of broken heart

LONDON: Doctors have long understood the impact of grief on one's health.
Now, a new study has revealed how fragile a broken heart can really be.

Researchers in Britain have found that bereft people face the risk of death
in the first year of being widowed.

In fact, men are six times more likely to die of a broken heart than women.

According to lead researcher Dr Jaap Spreeuw of the Cass Business School in
London, the study has confirmed the existence of "broken heart syndrome".

"We all know that the death of a loved one will have massive impact on the
life of the husband or wife left behind, but this shows it will have direct
impact on their mortality. It statistically proves that people can die of a
broken heart during the earliest stages of bereavement.

"The effect is stronger for older people who have been married longer. The
good news is that after the first years of mourning, the chance of dying
goes down. Although it remains higher than for couples where neither
partner has died, it does lessen over time," Dr Spreeuw said.
