No matter how silly their ideas might be to us, we must be gracious and generous hosts... OR NOT!
According to the Associated Press, the Hindustan Times, an Indian newspaper that brands itself as “The Name India Trusts for News,” advised women not to go outside during today’s total solar eclipse in order to avoid having a blind baby or one with a cleft lip.
I don’t know about you, but it’s stories like this one that really make me glad that India has nuclear weapons. I can just picture a future news story.
Yesterday, during our nation’s annual Kite Flying Festival, three ravens were spotted flying near a dragon-shaped kite. To ward off the evil spirits that always result from such an occurrence, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh detonated nuclear weapons in Paris, Chicago, Rome, and Islamabad. In accordance with the Book of We’re Living in the Middle Ages, Which is Good For You if You’re a Cow (available at amazon.com), the first three bombs were detonated to ensure that the ravens would not render India’s cows infertile. Despite earlier reports that no nuclear weapon was detonated in Islamabad, the Hindustan Times is confirming that Prime Minister Singh ordered a nuclear bomb to be detonated in Islamabad to “teach those Pakastani bastards a lesson.”
I’m going to go stab my right eye with a pencil for a few hours. It is 2006, isn't it?

This is what curry will do to people... The dangers of curry should be broadcasted on a wider scale.
