A buck a pixel makes a Million!
Read a story in News.com that Alex Tew, a 21 years old student from a small town in Wiltshire, England sells pixels, the tiny dots on the screen that appear when you call up his home page. (What would you and I do with those infernal pixels? Look at that boy’s ingenuity, man!)
The home page of his web site appropriately named as Milliondollarhomepage.com, “now looks like an online Times Square, festooned with a multicolored confetti of ads.”
Advertisers who have bought (really!) chunks of 100 pixels or more have discovered that they were receiving actual valuable Web hits for a fraction of the cost of traditional Internet advertising.
So far they have bought up 911,800 pixels.
So he is only a whisker sway from a Million $$$.
Hey, leave some green to the greens!
Comic relief!
Amongst the scores of serious-sounding business sites, here is a web site which describes the company, men and products in a rummy, uncanny way!
Look at how they qualify their services:-
Our services are unbelievably expensive. Like, really really expensive. You almost certainly can’t afford us. With that in mind, if you are grotesquely wealthy, we would love to hear from you.
And their web hosting plans:-
System/79 Hosting is too expensive for you. Come back when you have more money.
And here is how they hire:- Read more

No end to No!
No. Nein. Non. Nyet. Nee. Bo. Iie. Nahin. Illai. Nei. Laa. Nako. Na. Mhai. Bu. Nope. Nay. Nah. Illa. Ledhu. Alla.
iie.. (Japanese, contributed by Lavanya)
Are there any more?
And in which language they say “Eaiyii” to mean the same?
= I have heard Malayalees using this expression to mean “not at all”. May be a Keralite can throw some kindly light.
5 second tomfoolery
Heard about the (in)famous “5 second rule” of dropped food?
For the sake of those folks who are allergic to out-navigating from my blog, here is an explanation of the prime elements of this rule:
Ever dropped a cookie on the floor, yelled “Five-second rule!”, then quickly picked it up and popped it into your mouth? The assumption is that five seconds is not a long enough time for your food to pick up harmful bacteria. The exact origin of this urban legend is unknown, but supposedly, Genghis Khan was the first to make such a claim, specifying a lenient 12 to 20 hour period for food left on the ground to remain safe. The fast food industry also has been credited with the “rule,” supposedly to help minimize food waste. Whatever its origin, the “5 second rule” has become a readily accepted practice by young and old alike, especially to rationalize the eating of sweet foods like cookies that have fallen to the ground.
And an interesting find by a survey shows that women are more likely than men to eat food that’s been on the floor! May be they are more active conservationists!
Ok, Now enjoy this video clipping on the 5 second crap! Read more
Strange frontiers!
Mankind has always been attracted towards fantasy. Some are deeply addicted to the weird and supernormal. They tend to believe in their own delusions. There are another set of people who exploit this human susceptibility and provide fodder to it using their fertile imagination. Horror movies of the Count Dracula genre enjoy a sizable fan club. Children simply love the spooky, scary stuff - full of ghosts and haunted houses. Needless to say the phenomenal success of Harry Potter (Horry Potter?) is attributable to this fantasy!
There is another dimension to the occult Read more

Ok, what's the big deal, you may ask! But you may miss a good deal if you do not dwell deep into this web site, specially hand-crafted for you. But what about me, the person? Wait, I am not good at making things up. If you stumble upon a good-sounding résumé, please pass it on to me!

Quirky something
I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones. -
