Are you an adventurous foodie?
Pig’s Blood Cake from Taiwan
Swine flu has got nothing to do with pigs; it’s official. Pork blood is the prime ingredient of the blood cake and it is mostly eaten with sticky Taiwanese rice. Roadside vendors often serve it on a wooden stick and coat it with fresh peanut powder. It may look like your usual Popsicle but this is not a melt-in-your-mouth sugary delight.

Management
"Excuse me, Sir, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am." The man below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude." "You must be an engineer," said the lady balloonist. "Yes, I am," replied the man. "But, how did you know?" "Well," answered the balloonist. "Everything you told me is technically correct, but I've no idea how to make use of your information. The fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me. If anything, you've delayed my trip even more.' The man below responded, "You must be in management." "Yes, I am," replied the lady balloonist, "but, how did you know?" "Simple," said the man, "You don't know where you are, or where you're going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air within. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you, to solve your problems."

Can you sell a dead donkey?
old farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the
next day. The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some
bad news, the donkey died last night." Kenny replied: "Well then, just give me my money back." The farmer said: "Can't do that. I went and spent it already." Kenny said: "OK then, just unload the donkey.."
The farmer asked: "What ya gonna do with him?"
Kenny: "I'm going to raffle him off." (Note: To raffle is to sell a
thing by lottery - draw lot - to a group of people each paying the
same amount for a ticket) Farmer: "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
Kenny: "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead." A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "What happened
with that dead donkey?" Kenny: "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets
at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898.00." Farmer: "Didn't anyone complain?"
Kenny: "Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his two dollars."

An Apt IT joke
idiots ate the developer?"One of the cannibals raises his hand hesitantly, to which the leader of the cannibals says: "You FOOL! For four weeks we've been eating team leaders, managers, and project managers and no one noticed anything, and now YOU ate one developer and it got noticed. So here after please don't eat a person who is working."

The Great Indian Magic!
The Bangladesh contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil.
"Well", he says, "I figure the job will run about $900. ($400 for materials, $400 for my team and $100 profit for me)".
The Chinese contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says,
"I can do this job for $700. ($300 for materials, $300 for my team and $100 profit for me)".
The Indian contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$2,700." The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"
The Indian contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from China to fix the fence."
"Done!" Replies the official.

Right Brain Vs Left Brain
'The Brain'
Quite amazing!
THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If you see this woman turning in clockwise you are using your right brain
If you see it the other way, you are using left brain. Some people do see both ways, but most people see it only one way.
See if you can make her go one way and then the other by shifting the brain's current.
BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN BE SEEN
Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres, of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:
a
Left Brain Right Brain
Logical Random
Sequential Intuitive
Rational Holistic
Analytical Synthesizing
Objective Subjective
Looks at Parts Looks at wholes
Most individuals have a distinct preference for one of these styles of thinking. Some, however, are more whole-brained and equally adept at both modes. In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain ones. Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity…

Are Americans really wrong?
The sweat stained war-weary Marine asked, 'Ma'am, may I have that seat?'
The woman just sniffed and said to no one in particular, 'Americans are so rude. My little Fifi is using that seat.'
The Marine walked the entire train again, but the only seat left was under that dog. 'Please, ma'am. May I sit down? I'm very tired.'
She snorted, 'Not only are you Americans rude, you are also arrogant!'
This time the Marine didn't say a word; he just picked up the little dog, tossed it out the train window, and sat down.
The woman shrieked, 'Someone must defend my honour! Put this American in his place!'
An English gentleman sitting nearby lowered his newspaper and looking over his reading glasses spoke very calmly 'Sir, you Americans seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You hold the fork in the wrong hand. You drive your autos on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir, you seem to have thrown the wrong bitch out of the window.'

Unmarried girl
Scared……..She confides this "news" to her mother.
Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says, "Who was the pig that did This to you?
I want to know!" The girl picks up the phone and makes a call.
Half an hour later a Ferrari stops in front of their house; a mature and distinguished man with gray hair and impeccably dressed in a very expensive suit steps out of it and enters the house.
He sits in the living room with the father, the mother and the Girl, and tells them: "Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the Problem. However, I can't marry her because of my personal family situation, but I'll take responsibility.
If a girl is born I will bequeath her 2 retail stores, a townhouse, a beach villa and a $1,000,000 bank account.
If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a $2,000,000 bank account.
If it is twins, a factory and $1,000,000 each.
However, If there is a miscarriage or unsuccessful delivery , what do you suggest I do?"
At this point, the father, who had remained silent, places a hand firmly on the man's shoulder and tells him,
"You can try again!"

Men will never learn
There's nothing left, but fortunately we are unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days.'
The man replied,' I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God!
The woman continued, 'And look at this, here's another miracle... My car is completely demolished, but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune.'
Then she hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens it, drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle, immediately puts the cap back on, and hands it back to the man. The man asks, 'Aren't you having any?'
She replies, 'Nah. I think I'll just wait for the police...'
Men will never learn

The love story of Ralph and Edna
He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Edna the news, she said, 'Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.
The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.'
Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?'
Today is Mental Health Day! You can do your bit by remembering to pass on the link to this post to an unstable friend......
Done my part!!!

Guts Vs Balls
But do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the definition for each is listed below :
GUTS - is arriving home late after a night out with guys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: "Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?"
BALLS - is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the ass and having the balls to say: "You're next."
I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions. Medically speaking, there is no difference in the outcome since both ultimately result in death.

Dan Brown: A success story even more implausible than his plots - Telegraph
A sequel to "The Da Vinci Code" is coming soon! It's titled "The Lost Symbol".
This is one of the few books I've ever read. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be worth a read :-)
