The "real" Mahesh Reddy started blogging ... again. When I was chatting with him he mentioned that he happened to stumble upon a link to my site, by accident. I thought that was cool. Its funny what we find by accident on the web. Apparently those who read my resources on my website are very appreciative. Some much more than others. Often I get some messages from overseas. I so very much want to publish my "fan" mail (or email rather) but I don't [...]

What a trip! I went to Germany last week on a business trip and it turned out to be quite an interesting experience filled with fun, stress, food, booze, late nights and women. Okay, maybe not the last one, but I had a great time (ignoring work). The Germans are a funny bunch. I can't recall all the differences I saw between them and American culture, but I want to mention some of the things that I observed. Food. The main components of German [...]

I was doing some after Christmas shopping today and I ran into my high school Calculus teacher. He just called out at me "What's your name? Don't I know you?". I walked past him a few times in the shirts section and didn't notice but a good look at his face and I knew exactly who he was. He seemed happy enough to see me even though he didn't remember my name. It's been over 8 years, and I'm surprised he even noticed. He [...]

I don't think anyone cares but I thought I'd list my personal account of which vehicles tend to be speed demons over the past year or so. Ford Focus - the smaller hatchback is probably the most common speeding vehicle I've ever seen. Chrysler Jeep Liberty - That 4.3L packs quite a punch, and this automobile has only recently been added to my list. Chevrolet Silverado Truck - This one's iffy. It comes close to the Dodge Durango or Dodge Ram. Honda Civic and [...]

To anyone who did not know: Martin Luther King Jr. was NOT assinated. I repeat, he was NOT assinated. This is one of those times Google may be wrong (see one of the top links in that [...]

Anyone who knows me well also knows I love seafood. I found a great deal of amusement in this story. It started 2 days ago. Apparently a 22-pound lobster was saved from being someone's dinner and it was to be sent to an aquarium instead. Initially the funny part was that it "boiled" down to a case of P.E.T.A. vs P.E.T.A.: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent Wholey a letter asking him to work with the group to release Bubba back in [...]

Sounds like something out of Star Trek, no? Since I was in elementary school I would always find it irritating when someone told me that they could not study without some sort of "noise" (music or whatever). That never sat right with me. I was reading Parade Magazine this morning and looked upon "Ask Marilyn". Someone wrote in: I have fairly bad eyesight. But why is it that when I remove my glasses, I can't hear people as well? You're straining to see clearly, [...]

This is pretty funny. A Fear Factor viewer is suing NBC for watching contestants eat rats. Aitken's handwritten lawsuit contends the rat-eating made his blood pressure rise, resulting in being dizzy and lightheaded -- and vomiting. Because he was disoriented he ran into a doorway, "causing suffering, injury and great pain." Asked why he didn't shut off his television before the rat-eating segment, Aitken said he couldn't do it quick enough. Hmmm ... 2.5 million? Maybe I can sue for some money when the [...]
