Exploding Whale!

In 1970, a group of people decided the best way to get rid of the carcass of an 8 ton whale was to blow it up!

Google Reader

Google has come up with yet another useful tool called the "Google Reader". Basically, it is simply an online RSS reader where you can log on to your Google account and access all the RSS feeds. You can subscribe to some of the feeds that come with it, such as new Daily Show videos, or Colbert Report videos.

How Pakistani are you? Test yousrelf....

I don't think this is the most accurate test of your Pakistani-yat, but it's fun to take it anyway. I scored pretty low, but I'm not taking it too seriously. Some of the choices are pretty funny.

Arey, you are 35% Pakistani!
 

Not bad, but not good enough to call yourself a real Pakistani either! You seem more London than Lahore, so why not try wearing a shalwar kameez for a week and maybe that'll bump up your rating...

How Pakistani are you? (first class number one!)

Thinking about switching to wordpress...

A couple of weeks ago, I created a blog on wordpress, but it was more of a project than a personal blog, however, I realized wordpress offers several advantages over blogger. Despite that, the new version of blogger comes packed with a easy-to-use interface where one can add, remove and move around little modules to configure the look and feel of their blogs. The only feature I dislike about wordpress and that is probably the only thing holding me back from switching is the fact that I'd have to purchase a template in order to modify any of the code (Well, you could modify the code, but you can't save it). I guess when I'm serious about it, I will switch to wordpress and get myself a hosting service.

The fish that got away...

This is an amazing footage of a tigress attempting to subdue and prey on a lone zebra in what seems to be a lake, but the zebra isn't going to give up without a fight. Check it out.

Lion vs Warthog

Pretty evenly matched, but alas...

Predictions made in the year 1900 about the year 2000

This is pretty fascinating....

The Ladies Home Journal from December 1900, which contained a fascinating article by John Elfreth Watkins, Jr. “What May Happen in the Next Hundred Years”.

Mr. Watkins wrote: “These prophecies will seem strange, almost impossible. Yet, they have come from the most learned and conservative minds in America. To the wisest and most careful men in our greatest institutions of science and learning I have gone, asking each in his turn to forecast for me what, in his opinion, will have been wrought in his own field of investigation before the dawn of 2001 - a century from now. These opinions I have carefully transcribed.”

During the Year 2000, we included Mr. Watkins research in our feature articles. We invite you to comment on these predictions, whether they have been realized in some way or how they can never be accomplished! In any event, we know you’ll enjoy these entries.

Prediction #1: There will probably be from 350,000,000 to 500,000,000 people in America and its possessions by the lapse of another century. Nicaragua will ask for admission to our Union after the completion of the great canal. Mexico will be next. Europe, seeking more territory to the south of us, will cause many of the South and Central American republics to be voted into the Union by their own people.”

Prediction #2: The American will be taller by from one to two inches. His increase of stature will result from better health, due to vast reforms in medicine, sanitation, food and athletics. He will live fifty years instead of thirty-five as at present – for he will reside in the suburbs. The city house will practically be no more. Building in blocks will be illegal. The trip from suburban home to office will require a few minutes only. A penny will pay the fare. [...]
