Kryptonite Found!

When I first read this word, "Kryptonite", it brought the old memories of Superman and its sequels. This is the piece of mineral where it will maim Superman's power and where you would have seen the bad character in Superman movies, Lex Luther, ensuring that he gets the mineral in preparation of Superman's retaliation for his bad deeds.

I do not know whether the movie producers knew about the existence of the Kryptonite mineral during their script writing but it sure does exist now.

It seems that the real Kryptonite mineral has been discovered in Serbia. Geologists and mineralogists from mining group Rio Tinto which discovered the mineral passed the mineral to National History Museum, UK ("NHS") for further research.

This piece of Kryptonite will be known as Jadarite when it is described in the European Journal of Mineralogy. Together with NHS, Canada’s National Research Council, scientists from Natural Resources Canada, the Geological Survey of Canada and the Canadian Museum of Nature have collaborated to ensure that the new mineral is recognized by the international scientific community.

Choices in Hell

A rather bad man dies and meets Satan in a room with three doors. Satan explains, "I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that you have to spend eternity behind one of these doors. But, the good news is that you can take a peek behind each and take your choice."

So, the man opened the first door and saw a room full of people, standing on their heads on a concrete floor. Not very nice, he thought.

Opening the second door, he saw a room full of people standing on their heads on a wooden floor. Better, he thought, but best to check the last door.

Upon opening the last door, he saw a room full of people, standing waist-deep in shit and sipping coffee. "Of the three, this one looks best" he said and waded in to get something to drink while Satan closed the door.

A few minutes later the door opened, Satan stuck his head in and said, "Ok, coffee break's over, back on your heads!"

Zimbabwe Inflation Reaches 2,200%

What's inflation? Inflation is:-
1 the action of inflating or the condition of being inflated.
2 Economics a general increase in prices and fall in the purchasing value of money.

In Zimbabwe, a nation at the southern African continent, it's inflation rate has reached a record 2,200% in March due to economic destability coupled with political crisis. That's what could happen to a country when it's not stable. Malaysia's political people tend to play with fire, trying to ignite various issues and blamed it on racial. Or setting up terms and conditions on racial terms. Imagine your plate of 'nasi lemak' could rise up to RM44.00 from RM2.00. But your salary MAINTAINS!!!!!!!

Zimbabwe's banks' secured interest rates would rise to 600%, up from the current rate of 500%. Malaysia's current banking rates at the moment is around 6% to 7%. Imagine if it jumps up by 100%, current monthly repayment of RM1,000 will be come RM2,000 in no time. A 600% jump???? (source: BBC News/Africa)

As what the Malaysia's new king said yesterday "Stay united / We must maintain this precious unity to the best of our ability".

CIMB's Emerging Asia Fund

CIMB-Principal Asset Management Berhad published this advertisement last week in a major english newspaper. It showed that their Emerging Asia Fund could generate a 1-year return of 25.85%. That's a very good achievement. But somehow on the very next day, CIMB-Principal published the same advertisement but this time, the 1-year return has dropped drastically within 1 day period, i.e. down 7.45%. The advertisement followed the daily stock market index as well?????
I wonder what's the rate of return for next week.

Saw this box in The Store, a deparmental store, at Sri Petaling recently. This box contained the easy to set-up cloth 'cupboard' under the local Harmoni brand. It comes in various colours, Grey, Drown, Blue & Green. DROWN!!!!!

Maybe they were correct. When you drown, the world looks gloomy, you'll be thinking of death drowning halfway, the world seems dark to you.......

No Salesman

Last Saturday, I was at this restaurant called Jimmy's Place, located at a few doors away from CIMB Bank-Taman Connaught Branch. We were to celebrate 3 friends' birthday at one go. We called it Economies of Scale. At the entrance of the restaurant, I noticed a few stickers with certain things not allowed to be brought in.

To our astonishment, we have to sneaked in one of the birthday friends as he was a sales manager. Why do we need to? Just look at the sign below "No Salesman".

American History

It was the first day of school and a new student named Chandrashekhar Subrahmanyam entered the fourth grade. The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American History

Who said "Give me Liberty , or give me * *Death"? She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrashekhar, who had his hand up: "Patrick Henry, 1775" he said.

"Very good!" Who said "Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?" Again no response except from Chandrashekhar. "Abraham Lincoln, 1863" said Chandrashekhar. The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrashekhar, who is new to our country, knows more! about its history than you do"

She heard a loud whisper: "F*** the Indians, "Who said that?" she demanded. Chandrashekhar put his hand up. "General Custer, 1862"

At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke" The teacher glares around and asks "All right! Now, who said that?" Again, Chandrashekhar says, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991".

Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? S*** this!" Chandrashekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, "Bill Clinton,to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"

Now with almost mob hysteria someone said "You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you" Chandrashekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, "Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, 2001"

The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, "Oh shit, we're f*****!" And Chandrashekhar said quietly, "George Bush, Iraq , 2005.....
