Funny true story

I’ve heard several good stories at the math workshop I am attending currently but this one takes the cake. Famous old mathematician asks a certain female international grad student in his depaterment how she likes it there. FIGS: Oh it’s great. Except for the cocks. FOM: Cocks? FIGS: Yes cocks! There are too many cocks [...]

How to get a girl

This is hilarious! Videos like this — funny, politically incorrect, quirky, creative and virtually zero-budget — abound on YouTube and represent one of the greatest achievements of the internet; the ability of anyone to disseminate their work to a wide public with minimal advertising. It is the ultimate free-market and I love it.

Indian English

The Kozinski affair

Since the Judge Kozinski story broke three days ago, I have frequently visited The Volokh Conspiracy hoping that Eugene Volokh — an outstanding blogger who I frequently cite —  would post on the issue. My interest was piqued not only because I admire Kozinski — a brilliant judge with a libertarian streak — but because Volokh had once clerked for him. Here [...]

Twisting words

Aamir Khan writes in his blog that the caretaker of his Panchgani house has a dog named Shahrukh. He emphasises that he had nothing to do with the naming of the dog. I’m sitting under a tree, on the edge of a valley, approximately 5000 feet above sea level. The river Krishna flows far below us snaking [...]

Scarves

Stuff White People Like is hilarious. “I like the guy in the white American Apparel shirt with the glasses.” “Which one? there are eight.” “The guy with the keffiyeh.” “Oh yeah, you’re right.  He does look smarter and more political than the other guys.  He’s clearly more sensitive to wind, so he’s probably more sensitive [...]

Target buys SWPL

Read this first. I, for one, almost fell for it – that is to say I read on, horrified, till I came to the sentence that cured my dismay and showed me the light :) The brand new product line promises to deliver top quality organic vegetables, fruit, meat, organic cereal, chocolate, bread, and pasta to every [...]
