I realized later that he does copy his own songs, but for a reason! ‘Shanbagame Shanbagame’ is my all time favorite Tamil song. […]
[Via – Huffington Post] We know eye witnesses aren’t always reliable, but police composite sketches almost never really look like the perpetrator. Remember the Unabomber? He looked nothing like the stylish, mustachioed, aviator-wearing hoodlum he was made out to be. All kidding aside, these are some of the worst police sketches we have ever seen. […]
Toyata in the midst of the recall mess announced their new minivan. I know most of us either love or hate the “minivan”. Some folks can’t stand it because of the family look. And others cannot live without the utilities it will provide. Minivans are the best automobiles for any parents with kids. You can […]

Ignore Expiration Dates “Best by,” “Sell by,” and all those other labels mean very little. There’s a filet mignon in my fridge that expired four days ago, but it seems OK to me. I take a hesitant whiff and detect no putrid odor of rotting flesh, no oozing, fetid cow juice—just the full-bodied aroma of […]
