I was surfing in the net when I stumbled onto a picture. It was a picture of the Niagara Falls taken in the winter of 1911. So, out of curiosity I searched for a picture of Niagara Falls of today, the results were very surprising. Well, could you tell what makes this photos interesting.













Th
is is what Niagara Falls looked like in winter 1911. By the way those are people on the ice. And, if I am not mistaken even the water flow was stopped as it friezed up.



This is a photo of Niagara Falls in winter 2005 if I am not mistaken.

First of do you remember who Bob Saget is? If you don't let me remind you, he is the guy who played the dad in the Olsen twins show, "The Full House". Well, this is a clip of him on stage. But, warning it is quite vulgar. Watch at your own risk.

I was bored and basically didn't know what to do ... so, here I am. Anyhow, I was browsing through the net when I came across a couple of interesting items. Well, the first are original photos of Pearl Harbor after the bombing in 1941. Here is one of them:


The next item is a list properly entitled, "All Men's Rules". In my opinion its quite proper for the world them we currently reside in, where everyone has to be PC (politically correct) when deals with the fairer sex. These are a few of them:

1. Breasts are for looking at and that is why we do it. Don’t try to change that.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
- Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color.
- Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

Well, those are a few. The rest can be found here. A mirror site has been created which can be used if the main site is down.

This next one is a news article from the Daily Mail. It is entitled , "How feminism destroyed real men". Although, the first part of the article is well written, the author messes it up at the very end.

Today, I want to share three things with anyone who reads my blog. The first two is about how messed up is the American education. This is an exert from
University College London’s admission pages which I got from a blog, 'hell's maiden', and this is the exert:

For entry into UCL’s undergraduate degree programmes, students who hold A-Levels or the International Baccalaureate with good grades will be considered. The US High School Graduation Diploma on its own does not satisfy UCL’s general entrance requirement for undergraduate degree programmes. To be eligible for consideration students must have usually obtained passes in four, full year Advanced Placement (AP) examinations at grades 4/5. Alternatively the High School Graduation diploma plus a minimum of 1300/1600 or 1950/2400 in SAT I plus the successful completion of one year at a recognised US university would be considered.

The second item is a letter from a teacher to a student's mother. Well, you have to read to understand and sympathize with me.

Finally, is a list of movies that a blogger believes that the US government would prefer that you not watch. It is a very interesting list. Well, a few of the movies on the list are "V for Vendetta" , "1984", and Al Gore's film, " An Inconvenient Truth". Well, check it out.

Tell me what you think about any of the items that you have just viewed.
