After CarbonNeutral, a CheatNeutral society?

Last updated on: January 17, 2008 at 3:45 am By Desh Kapoor

You have heard about carbon neutral world? There are companies that emit more carbon into the atmosphere who now have to buy carbon credits and those who emit lesser keep more credits which they could trade for money... right? Now, here is the same concept for a totally different concept - CheatNeutral!! Those cheating on their spouses will fund someone else for being faithful! So, basically Cheat Credits are being exchanged to create a "Cheating free" society! Hmmm... thats crazy isn't it? So, now if you cheat and are conscientious to come and register on this site - you could end up taxing yourself! The official word: Cheatneutral is about offsetting infidelity. We're the only people doing it, and Cheatneutral is a joke. Carbon offsetting is about paying for the right to carry on emitting carbon. The Carbon offset industry sold £60 million of offsets last year, and is rapidly growing. Carbon offsetting is also a joke. Read more

2007 was Earth's Second Warmest year!

Last updated on: January 17, 2008 at 3:33 am By Desh Kapoor

If we needed any evidence that the planet is warming, then this is it, despite what those loony US republicans may want to say: The greatest warming in 2007 occurred in the Arctic, and neighboring high latitude regions. Global warming has a larger affect in polar areas, as the loss of snow and ice leads to more open water, which absorbs more sunlight and warmth. Snow and ice reflect sunlight; when they disappear, so too does their ability to deflect warming rays. The large Arctic warm anomaly of 2007 is consistent with observations of record low geographic extent of Arctic sea ice in September 2007. Read more

Robbery gone wrong…. REALLY WRONG!

Last updated on: January 16, 2008 at 11:49 pm By Desh Kapoor

You cant be a dumb robber - you at least need to have some basic common sense. Here is this 25 year old who wanted to rob this convenience store. He goes in points the gun at the clerk and asks her to put in the cash and cigarettes. She dutifully put the cash in a bag and turned around to grab the cigarette pack when she heard the gun go! What happened thereafter.. is just too hillarious.. the guy just shot his own "nut" and ran away! 😀 Police say surveillance video shows the man shooting himself as he placed the gun in the waistband of his pants. The clerk wasn't injured. Read more

Are we in a Recession in the US?

Last updated on: January 16, 2008 at 10:48 pm By Desh Kapoor

Are we in a recession now? The stock market in the US is being hammered.. .. and it is no longer a "correction"!! INVESTORS MAY FINALLY BE GETTING PAST the denial stage that the stock market is going through just another "midcycle" correction. From the continuing barrage of bad economic news to the simple technical fact that the market's trend is down, significant damage is being done. And it will take quite a bit of time to repair that damage before we can even think of getting back to the highs of last autumn. .... and the CEOs confidence is at a 7 year low now: Read more

FINALLY! The Aliens have contacted!

Last updated on: January 16, 2008 at 10:31 pm By Desh Kapoor

The Aliens are finally coming! I mean we have been looking for them, waiting for them, making movies about them, befriending them in our soaps and fighting them... and also collecting their left overs from the crashed UFOs. Now, they have decided to send a signal to a telescope in Puerto Rico. Hmmm liking for the Latinos huh! 🙂 Now, there is a problem! We have reecived this anomolous signal - but what do we send in return? What if "Thank you" sound like an F-word to them? What if "HI" means "Kill you"? The scientists are now meeting to discuss the "reply". That's a cool problem to have.. Of course, as the picture here would suggest, these aliens may be fishing in our seas and oceans already using their laser "fishing rods" and sucking our ponds DRY .... OBVIOUSLY adding to the global warming! Damn them! So, with an estimated 10,000 intelligent civilizations "out there" (Drake Equation) and not knowing their cultures (heck we don't even know the culture of the guy in the next street!).. is it advisable to even reply or contact? Some guys are advising caution to the reply plans. Read more

Money can buy you ….

Last updated on: January 16, 2008 at 9:18 pm By Desh Kapoor

For money you can have everything it is said. No that is not true. You can buy food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; soft beds, but not sleep; knowledge but not intelligence; glitter, but not comfort; fun,but not pleasure; acquaintances, but not friendship; servants, but not faithfulness; grey hair, but not honor; quiet days, but not peace. The shell of all things you can get for money. But not the kernel. That cannot be had for money. Read more
