Of Devils Pacts, Boobquakes and Aliens

A week ago an Iranian cleric shot off his mouth claiming that women showing their cleavages and wearing short skirts caused the earthquakes the world is now experiencing. This apparently did not go down well with......well with most of us as on the sound of it it does sound a bit ridiculous but then a lot of people of religious clout claim things like that, and as I remember some televangelist also claimed something similar when the earthquake in Haiti has struck. Rev. Pat Robertson claimed that the earthquake which almost entirely took out Haiti was caused because the people of Haiti made a pact with the devil.......in the 18th century......yes you read that right, the pact with Mr. Satan himself done a few centuries ago. Now I am the sort of person who hardly finds anything weird in the weirdness that occurs or comes out of that speaking passage most of us refer to as a mouth, but even I start scratching my head when people like the two mentioned above come up with such ideas. I mean earthquakes being caused by pacts done with the devil centuries ago or women wearing provocative clothes are the things which would mean that life is almost over for two categories of human existence....one being the Gothic, those devil worshipping dressed all in black and oddly painting their nails black too; and the other well.....the male species in general or the French people in particular. If you haven't heard or have been living in a hole for the last six months you might have heard the talks about how the French government thinks its downright outrageous for women to wear anything that covers parts of modesty. I can already imagine Sarkosy cringe at the thought of it and well lets not even dare imagine the thoughts of the Silvio Berlusconi (the Italian Prime Minister....thought I would add this info for the sake of those hole dwellers) on this.

Apparently all this did not go down well with the feminists either and one of the came up with a spectacular idea of creating an event on Facebook and named it Boobquake (sic.) where she urged all women of all races and types (the hot and the not so hot and the down right uglies all united) to wear a top or a short depending on the preferences which left very little to everyone's imagination on the 26th of April and see if it really caused a quake or even a tremor. This grew into a cult and had almost 200,000 women vowing to bare their chest. Now comes the worrying bit.....as all these women went on their little research experiment, a tremor did hit in Taiwan and it was measured a 6.5 on the Richter scale. Although the creator of Boobquake is still defiant, I have doubts creeping out of me and therefore have made it a point not to look at anyone not covered from head to toe from now on.

The world has suddenly turned a new page in weirdness and if women can't wear what they wish to and if some people, albeit in the 18th century and long way past dead now, can't make pacts with the devil, what is the point of living in it. Stephen King this week went on claiming how Aliens did exist but it is better that we don't contact them for our safety, but I think they do know we exist and are not contacting us for their safety as even they can't bring on earthquake so easily as by stripping off their clothes or having their ancestors seal their doom hundreds of years ago.

Its all about Eyjafjallajokull....

I am now officially sick and tired of all the people complaining how they are stuck in Europe and can't fly out and come back to their work. Yeah right....coz you are so sick of holiday that the last thing you would like is another few days out there with a valid reason for not starting your work on the next day after you're back. I can imagine a few of my friends who have been stuck in Amsterdam complaining how much they are hating it that they can't leave and come back here so that they can enjoy doing things they could do legally there illegally. Yeah, I can imagine the couples in Paris or Berne or Vienna complaining how shitty it is to be stuck in those cities. Oh yes damn that ash cloud and that volcano somewhere in Iceland in a place with a name so hard to spell or pronounce that you would just like to call it "that volcano place that screwed up the budget airlines of Europe" (for the one who love details the place is called Eyjafjallajokull and its damn hard to type it down too) . Although if we look at it that dreaded ash cloud hasn't really stopped everyone from travelling though, it was reported that John Cleese (from the hilarious comedy Fawlty Towers and the Monty Python) paid 3300 Pounds on a cab to get from Oslo to Brussels, talk about showing off your money. The Barcelona FC is also gearing up to take the bus down from Barcelona to Milan to play Inter Milan for the semifinal of the Champions League and here's hoping that Inter thrashes them to get to the finals! So its not really all gloomy if you are stuck there....its only like that if you are poor and stuck there, and as we all know and have learned over the years......well no one gives any thought for the poor. Sad but true.

So if you are stuck in Europe right now, my advice is that you live it up, no need spending that hard earned money on hotels after all you only need to that to bunk up at night and why sleep when there's soo much to do! Hitch hike a ride to Mykonos and you could be partying all day and all night! Just remember that its a "Holiday" and that they usually don't come around that often and you should be set to go!

P.S: A friend just gave this link to the amazing photos from Eyjafja......u know that place...

Soul Scurry

I was going through the news site the other day when I noticed an article which caught my attention, it was about how a website conned people by adding a line in the that useless statement of agreement no one ever reads which mentioned that by clicking on the "I Agree" button you just would be handing us the right to your soul.....yes you read that right...your soul can now be given away for just a click of the button. I can just imagine how pissed off the Grim Reaper would be to come to claim someone only to find out that a scummy website company beat him or her (yeah lets no assume that the grim reaper has to be a him only now!). I wonder what the company who owns this website needs all these souls for? Or are we to assume that the turf war between good and evil has now gone commercial and we can't even sue the damn anti-christs for wrongfully claiming what never was theirs. Or have they gone weak and are now hiding behind the laws that they didn't care about? Not so invincible now are you Mephistopheles (one of the seven princes of Hell, in case you were wondering)!!

The company however has now claimed that it will send a mail to everyone who has given up his soul will be offered to claim it back by....wait......clicking another button on the link provided by the company. Now, I could be wrong here but who in the world would be so stupid to rely on the words or well in this case statements of the company which tricked you into handing over your soul without you even realising it or feeling it. How can anyone ever anywhere now click on the "I accept" button without wondering if they are still going to have their souls with them after that second? And don't be stupid, no one can be bothered reading through the rubbish they write in the statement of agreement, wouldn't you just go and read the word of the day on the toilet paper.......oh you do that already huh? Oh well you get the point don't you. So from now onwards, unless you have a troubled soul, please be careful on what you sign up for as the era of the soul snatchers has just started now.

Of All things Notorious!! :)

I have been thinking of writing something since the last entry but for some reason I just can't jot down anything more than four lines. Now that shouldn't be a problem because this is after all my blog and four or fifty lines shouldn't matter......but....I kinda feel like I am cheating on my thoughts by doing that. Speaking of cheating, Tiger Woods is back and doing what he does best....Golfing!! Now I know in the recent months he has everyone convinced that when it comes to chasing holes there's no one who can beat him and though John Terry (the now former England captain...football) tried his hard, his handicap was way behind. Well just when Mr. Woods went through his rehabilitation process and if the media is to be believed was forgiven by his wife and coming back to golf, there seems to be no stop to the women and allegations. Lets hope that he comes through all this for a game as boring as golf needs a Tiger Woods to keep the charm it has and probably all this has probably given more publicity to the game than it has ever received before. When they say any publicity is good publicity it might actually be true after all.

So while Tiger is burning off his calories with all his activities, notorious and the rest, news has come from the fast food industry in the US that KFC...yes that finger licking tasty....errr....tasting chicken has come out with the sugar daddy (without the sugar or so I assume) of treats called the "KFC Double Down". Oh yeah the people at KFC have come out with their war against the carbs with this one, yes, instead of a friend piece of yummy chicken in a bun, this one has no bun but instead you get two yummy pieces of fried chicken with bacon, cheese and sauces in between it. Heart Attack anyone? The good news, for now, is that this is still limited to the masses in the US and so we don't have to worry about this waist-raising coronary clogging delight just as yet. So God bless America and hopefully let this gastronomical delight stay within its borders for some time to come.
