The Dumbest Questions on Y! Answers.
God bless the Internet. Where else can you assume a fake identity, pose the most inane question imaginable--like "Why can't I see my reflection in the mirror on a television? "--and then sit back and watch the answers pour in? Crowd-source advice sites like Yahoo Answers have become a bit of a magnet for the maladjusted. Sure, there are plenty of average Joes just looking for ordinary information. But among the sites' many mundane queries, there's a sea of jaw-droppingly dumb discussions guaranteed to amaze and entertain. I spent some time surfing through Yahoo Answers to find the worst of the worst, and boy did I find it. The spelling, grammar, and punctuation are all as found in the original queries--because why put lipstick on a dodo? So let's take a look at the vital questions of our time, as posed by some of the deepest thinkers out there, along with the best answers I could come up with... 1. Backward Thinking "I sold my only car to help pay for gas money, but now gas has come down in price. How do I get my car back?" I tried to contact this guy, but it turns out that he also sold his computer to help pay for his Internet connection. 2. It's Caps Lock--Capisce? "HOW DO I TURN OFF CAPSLOCK? I ACCIDENTALLY TURNED IT ON YESTERDAY AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO TURN IT BACK OFF." Note to self: Register howtoturnoffcapslock.com; make millions! 3. Credit Crunch "I wanted to see if my computer would read my credit card so i put it in the cd rom and it got stuck, how do i get it out?? I tryed toothpics but lost them in the process?? also the drive is making noises" Oh, that's normal. Your system is just waiting for you to pay the required $1 processing fee for scanning the card. Simply fold a greenback into a tiny square and insert it into any USB port. 4. Mousin' Around "My mouse stop working every time i lift it up from the table why is this? this is not just OS .i have linux and vista both same thing so its not drivers" Yeah, no big deal there, either: Insert your credit card into the CD-ROM drive and tell your computer--slowly and distinctly--that you need the Air Mouse 3000 upgrade. You'll be good in no time. 5. Technical Difficulties "I've been asked to write an application in my own handwriting....? is there a computer programme that will do this for me? they also want original ideas. do you know any?" This reminds me of a letter to the editor I once read years ago: "Are there any undiscovered islands left in the world?" The response: "Not that we know of."
6. It's All in the Details "I have an assignment about computer.. What is unimportant details about computer?" Wait a minute--does this assignment also require original ideas? 7. Unknown Nuptials "Am i married in any state? have i been divorced?" I'll take "questions asked after a night in Vegas" for $500, Alex. 8. A Sticky Subject "Where can i buy a really big jar of peanut butter?" If this is from the same guy who asked the previous question, I'm getting concerned. 9. Fruit Frets "I have ate two whole tangerines in about two hours what will happen to me?" That all depends on whether you swallowed any seeds. If you did, be very careful not to eat any dirt or drink any water for the next two weeks. 10. Fat Chance "How do i become obese fast? I want to look good by the end of the year." You can start by eating two tangerines in two hours. Then run around in circles until you figure out what "obese" means. © Kapil Singh. BlogBuster™ and PC World.
Little Geniuses : A word on kids today, yours Offcourse!
Research shows kids tend to have an increasing IQ generation by generation. Goodness Me! What sort of research is that? These people get mentioned for anything,even I could have told you that!!
The 3 foot "experiment apparatus "on which this research was conducted is ofcourse smarter than we are!
30 years back the odd job these kids could do was merely to fetch bread, eggs, toffees and that sort of stuff from a nearby(and usually nearer to the other world) shopkeeper!But today these guyz and galz have jobs like changing wallpapers, ringtones, saving numbers, screwing the internet for their peers and the list goes on!!
Probably its not their fault, screaming in hospital room, after their first entry into this place called "world "the first thing they see is a camera ready to take their pictures!
" Honey,take a good picture and tag all the family members,we have got a lovely baby, and dont forget my aunt "
With no sense of privacy and such limited vocabulary these newbies obviously cannot do anything about it!!
So the next time you see those kiddies surfing youtube, setting a ringtone, or literally screwing your phone, Do not be surprised, Who are you to challenge the researchers!
Have Fun.as i go and search wikipedia and satisfy my 3 year niece on "why is the nasty beep sound there in the movies.

Sikhism-At A Glance
Sikhism is one of the world's less known religion,so i have today decided to write about in my blog some Basics of This Religion:
THE BEGINING: Sikhism was founded back in 16th century by a Saint from Punjab, Baba Guru Nanak(Ji),born at Nankana Sahib(Now Pakistan)so Sikhism was born at Punjab and still Punjab is the basic center of Sikhism
Basic Beliefs:Here are some Principle beliefs of Sikhism:
ONE God: Sikhism believes on one Supreme Deity -called Waheguru(means The Wonderful Lord)Sikhs believe in Waheguru being the supreme creature,and is referred to as AKALPURAKH(The ever immortal being).
THE TEN Gurus:Sikhs follow Guru Nanak Ji and the 9 successive Gurus after him till Guru Gobind Singh Jee(The Tenth and last "Physical" Guru of the Sikhs).Guru Nanak founded Sikhism and before end of his life he appointed the next Guru to carry on the newly formed Religion,this process continued until Guru Gobind Singh the last Guru.S(Guru means Spiritual leader) Sikhs believe Guru Nanak 's soul merged into next Guru.In other words all nine Gurus after Guru Nanak are actually "HIS SOUL IN DIFFERENT BODIES"
The Holy Scripture: After Guru Gobind Singh declared himself the final physical Guru of Sikhism,he ordered all Sikhs to follow the Holy Scripture Guru Granth Sahib after him,and Guru Granth Sahib to be every Sikh's Guide ever after.Guru Granth Sahib contains writings of all ten Gurus and was Compiled by Guru Gobind Singh
A Diverse Scripture: Besides Teachings and writings of Sikh Gurus it also contains some poetry and Slokas from Muslim Sufis ,Baba Ghulam Farid and Hindu Bhagats like Bhagat Namdev,philosophy of which were similar to Sikhism.This fact makes it a Unique Religious Scripture
Equality of Mankind: Sikhism preaches equality of mankind,and peace,Sikhs are ordered to respect every religon,and have no discrimination against anyone.
Sikhism considers Women equal,and gives it Rights,A women can lead A Sikh Religious proceeding,is allowed to enter The Gurdwara,even lead an Army.
THE GURDWARA: It is the place of worship for Sikhs,Gurdwaras may be historical(built in the memory of events related with Gurus)or Community Gurdwaras. They also act as community center for the Sikhs, taking important desicions,rasing funds for poor etc.it contains Guru Granth Sahib installed in it
No Idol Worship:Sikhism prohibits Idol Worship,worshiping stones,fire,animals,objects of nature etc
Baptism:Baptism in Sikhism was Initiated by last Sikh Guru Guru Gobind Singh,It is a ceremony in which non-baptized Sikh undertakes Amrit(sweet water)pledges not to cut and shave Head and facial hair,and wears the five Kakars
Five Kakars: They Include:
THE KHALSA Panth:The tenth Sikh Guru formed the Khalsa Panth, A Sikh Nation,that Sikhs everywhere are equal and United,thus practically denouncing caste system. Male Sikhs Adopt Surname SINGH(MEANS LION)and Females adopt Kaur(Lioness)as Surnames
False Rituals and Superstitions: Sikhism asks its followers not to indulge in false rituals,ominous, non ominous etc!and have firm believe in God
Life after death: According to Sikhism Body is mortal,soul is not,Soul doesn't merely has to achieve heaven or hell but has to merge into The Lord.for this purpose it will go through cycles,change forms from one to another untill it is Pure enough to merge with God,as water mingles with Water.Sikhism Thus believes in REINCARNATION
FESTIVALS: Major Sikh festivals are:
Baisaakhi: This day marks birthday of Khalsa Panth-A day to celebrate(MID APRIL)
Gurpurabs: Events Related to Guru's Life(birth,martyrdom etc)Birthday of Guru Nanak Ji is celebrated in November
Daswant: Sikhs are ordered to give tenth part of their income as Charity,to anyone needy,Besides Financial help Sikhism asks its followers to help and protect the poor,irrespective of cast,creed,nation or Religion
Other Scriptures: Apart from Guru Granth Sahib,there are some other scriptures necessary for a Sikh to follow,they are Dasam Granth Sahib(Book including Writings by the tenth Guru Gobind Singh)and Adi Granth-The complication of Writings of Sikh Gurus until the time of fifth Guru Arjun Dev
Selected Verses from Sikh Scriptures: "One Universal Creator God. The Name Is Truth. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying, Beyond Birth, Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace"
2. " Some call the Lord 'Ram, Ram', and some 'Khuda'., Some serve Him as 'Gusain', others as 'Allah'.
He is the Cause of causes, and Generous.,He showers His Grace and Mercy upon us. "
3.
First God created the Light; by His power he created all people equal.”
4. From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. Woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. When his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. So why call her bad? From her, kings are born. From woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.
5. Do not utter even a single harsh word; your True Lord and Master abides in all.
Do not break anyone's heart; these are all priceless jewels. (129)
The minds of all are like precious jewels; to harm them is not good at all.
If you desire your Beloved, then do not break anyone`s heart. (130)(Baba Fareed Ji-Guru Granth Sahib)

Five Kakars: They Include:
Kachhera, Undergarment Kachhera is a loose undergarment worn by Sikhs and is one of 5 K's, or articles of faith known in Sikhism as kakar. The kachhera is designed for ease of movement while maintaining modesty, whether sitting cross-legged for worship, participating in seva, or engaging in martial arts. Historically, the kachhera worn by Sikh warriors allowed for agility in battle or horseback.
Kanga, Wooden Comb The Kanga is a wooden comb and is one of 5 K's, or articles of faith known in Sikhism as kakar. It comes in a variety of sizes. Some have short fine teeth and others long wide teeth. Sikhs do not cut their hair. In the days before shampoo, Sikhs cleansed their hair using water and oil. The traditional practice of using oil to continues in modern times and helps prevent snarling of the tresses and nourishes the scalp. A large kanga removes tangles easily. A small fine toothed kanga is useful for cleaning and maintaining healthy hair free of dandruff and parasites. Sikhs comb their hair in the morning before tying a turban, and generally at the end of the day, before sleeping.
Kara, Bangle A kara is an iron or steel ring worn on the wrist of the right arm and is one of 5 K's, or articles of faith known in Sikhism as kakar. Traditionally a kara served as a protective wrist guard during battle when fighting with swords. The kara also serves as a visible reminder of the bond between the Sikh and Guru.
Kes, Uncut Hair Kes means hair and refers to the hair growing from the scalp and is one of 5 K's, or articles of faith known in Sikhism as kakar. For the initiated Sikh, kes includes all facial and body hair. Kes is to be kept completely intact. This means that a Sikh never cuts, removes, or alters any hair or the head face or body. Hair grows to a particular length depending on the genetic code of an individual. Sikhs honor this physical process as the intent of the creator. Many Sikhs testify that kes has a spiritual significance during meditation and worship and wear a short turban known as a keski to protect the kes as part of their kakar.
Kirpan, Ceremonial Short Sword: A kirpan is a ceremonial short sword worn by an initiated Sikh and is one of 5 K's, or articles of faith known in Sikhism as kakar. The kirpan represents the ideal of the Sikh warrior to defend the weak from tyranny, injustice, and forced conversion. Historically the kirpan would have been a weapon used in battle. The significance of the kirpan extends to a personal battle fought with ego and is a reminder to be vigilant against the rise of anger, attachment, greed, lust, and pride. A kirpan is touched to prashad, and to langar, before either are consumed, to bless and symbolically impart the strength steel of steel to worshipers.
Langar: Sikhs and pepole from other religions/communities sit together(at a gurdwara)to eat,signifying equality of humainty,this is called Langar,some Sikhs serve the people,this is called Sewa-Selfless service,The cycle of Seva And Langar continues in a Gurdwara
The Five Evils:Sikhism considers lust,ego,anger,desire,arrogance the five evil Sikh should not have these
False Rituals and Superstitions: Sikhism asks its followers not to indulge in false rituals,ominous, non ominous etc!and have firm believe in God
Life after death: According to Sikhism Body is mortal,soul is not,Soul doesn't merely has to achieve heaven or hell but has to merge into The Lord.for this purpose it will go through cycles,change forms from one to another untill it is Pure enough to merge with God,as water mingles with Water.Sikhism Thus believes in REINCARNATION

THE UNSEEN DIVIDE
"My Dad Doesnt understand me",My Mom doesnt trust me",THE words may
differ but not the state of mind,teens have today!
Generation Gap,A term coined in the west,and a few years back we the Asians were not familiar with it and stood proud of our family systems!but now the unwanted social phenomena is more prevalent in Asia
As a teenager myself i have found following facts to be responsible:
Every parent in the world strives for giving his kids the best!but in urge to do so they probably don't manage time for their kids,
I've always believed that greed not money is the real evil! Aristotle very rightly called humans social animals.as humans and specially teens can tolerate anything but not being constantly ignored.!
I believe this generation gap is one of the leading causes of the recent burst of social networking amongst the youth,creating a more theirs and self centered virtual world,compensating for real life relationships!
"What to do?simple,i say give time a teen today loves his iPhone apps for then not so theirs relationships because it is available for him anytime!
It may look stupid to waste your time in watching your son's YouTube rap video or seeing a not a so good science project of your kid.but do it!participate in their world!
Parents live their future through kids and see their ambitions,aspirations in the kid's life!there's nothing wrong with it(iam 17 and already fantasize about doing so!)but make sure your dreams boost your kids ambitions,and don't bulldoze them!!do not make your kid's life a corporate investment!! Remember love begets love!hope the unseen divide is bridged soon!!
