I understood it so only i gave 5 for that. Regards, Koushik. Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out if they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you.

I'm afraid you would have to be Jewish for that remark to be considered humourous by the PC brigade. :) 2011 - Our best hope is that things will be frightening and dangerous rather than desperate and horrific. Jesse's Café Américain

Entrepreneurs, inventors, etc. I don't put inventors and entrepreneurs in the same group because those two behaviors aren't necessarily linked. Like I said I don't hold many positives for people. Entrepreneurs aren't really interested in making anything other than money. The phrase "It's nothing personal just business." comes to mind to describe them. Think of the Wall Street bailouts. I'm pretty sure that we're going to have another great depression or worse because nothing's been done. The only thing keeping people on Wall Street from inventing another bubble is their collective conscience and they don't have one. There will have to be a depression before people can stop being so stupid and to believe Wall Street is a casino. There's no such thing as a necessary evil, just a convenient one for people to believe in so they can go on about their lives in bliss. But there I go ranting again. Too much news I suppose, but then again I don't want to be lied to again.

He's a total nut-job, I know a few people who've met him, and the survey says: "Madder than a bag of ferrets". I'm surprised he has lasted this long, as his grasp on reality is pretty poor. Sort of a cross between Lawrence of Arabia and Dilbert.[^] -Or- A Dead ringer for Kate Winslett[^]

Probably Photoshopped. Here's a video of a dog humping a lioness: Link[^] Raises a few disturbing questions, like what a dog was doing there (pun unintended) in the first place. The lioness seems to be barely annoyed, it just gets up and walks away. I imagine it could have easily decapitated the dog with one swipe of its paw.
