I like the scientists a lot. In fact I love them. When I open the newspaper in the morning, I don't go round looking for the latest news of what has happened in my country and the world during the previous 24 hours. Oh no!. That can wait. For me, it's more important to get to know what the scientists have to say about life, space, Moon, Mars or anything under the sky. All of them may not be palatable at all. But then one has to read their stories because they have come out in print.
Most of the time they say or forecast bad things but sometimes they do pontificate nice things.
A couple of days back some space scientists have said that they would put a man on the Moon right from our space station in India by November this year and that astronaut would go all over the Moon looking for signs that would make some earthlings live there. Are you a volunteer? Well, I am, if you don't mind, provided I get at least an one bedroom house with a living cum dining room, a nice toilet with a wash basin and a front garden. And I shall pay not more than one dollar for my future abode.
Next, our Tamil Nadu Government has suddenly turned philanthropic and have offered a lap top computer for ten dollars to students. Isn't that a great news? While I was revelling in it, prompt comes a "scientific" news that lap tap may make you infertile. Women would indeed get frightened at this development. This would be so if they operate the LT from their laps. Why should anyone keep it on the lap to fiddle with it? Is it just because someone has named it "lap top"? Now that the scientific community has given us a great warning, all who possess a LT may kindly keep it on the table top or a stool and view it. OK?
This morning's paper gave another piece of news. I don't know whether I should classify it as a good one or a bad one. The news item in brief is: if you want to win over a woman, you are supposed to crack a joke, a joke at yourself. The woman then would feel tickled and fall for you. It's as simple as that.
Don't laugh at it friend. It's 100 percent true. I mean the news item. One anthropologist scientist from an University south of USA (Name withheld for security reasons !) who was at the job for 2 years and having interviewed several women, has announced as the conclusion that women get attracted to men who poke jokes at themselves.
You may like to try out this theory next time you are at a social party.
But don't get mixed up with your “Is” and “YOUs”. If instead of I, you happen to use YOU, you are gone along with your joke. You not only would lose your girl friend but also receive tons of slaps. So, be careful, eh?
